Canada’s federal surplus narrowed to C$1.0 billion in June 2026 from C$3.6 billion a year earlier, on higher program expenses and public debt charges and broadly stable revenues. Program expenses excluding net actuarial losses increased by C$2.1 billion, largely due to higher direct program spending, while public debt charges rose C$0.5 billion amid a larger stock of marketable bonds and higher CPI adjustments on Real Return Bonds. Net actuarial losses increased by C$0.1 billion. Revenues were up C$10 million to C$1.6 billion, as higher employment insurance premiums and other revenues offset a C$1.6 billion decline in tax revenues, mainly due to lower corporate income tax receipts.
