Help Shape Newfoundland and Labrador's Budget 2025
Official title: Budget 2025
The provincial government wants your input before finalizing its $10+ billion budget. You can use an interactive budget planner tool to see the trade-offs, then answer questions about your priorities. It's a chance to tell the government what matters most to you—healthcare, education, infrastructure, or something else.
Why This Matters
This is your chance to influence how the province spends its money next year. Healthcare wait times, road repairs, school funding, support for seniors—it all comes down to budget decisions. The interactive tool shows you the real trade-offs governments face. Your feedback goes directly to the Department of Finance.
What Could Change
Budget 2025 will set spending priorities for the entire province. Programs could be expanded or cut. Taxes and fees might change. The government says it's working toward a 'stronger, smarter, self-sufficient, sustainable province'—your input helps decide what that actually looks like in practice.
Key Issues
- What should be the province's top spending priorities?
- How should the government balance a $10+ billion budget?
- What concerns do residents have about provincial finances?
