An Act to amend the Federal-Provincial Fiscal Arrangements Act and to authorize certain payments to be made out of the Consolidated Revenue Fund

Bill C-17 (44-1) was a government bill to amend the Federal-Provincial Fiscal Arrangements Act and authorize one-time federal payments to the provinces and territories, aimed at easing public-transit funding shortfalls and at improving housing supply and affordability. It reflected 2022 federal commitments to top up transit and housing support as ridership and construction lagged after the pandemic. The bill stalled at second reading in the House of Commons in 2022 and did not become law; the federal government delivered similar support through other budget measures.
