An Act for granting to His Majesty certain sums of money for the federal public administration for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027
Bill C-24 is a federal supply bill (An Act for granting to His Majesty certain sums of money for the federal public administration). Supply bills authorize the spending in the Estimates, the annual federal-government spending plan totalling approximately $480 billion in 2024-2025. The Estimates are tabled in three forms (Main, Supplementary A, B, and C) per fiscal year. Supply bills are confidence votes: defeat means government falls. They are voted on by clear majority including by parties supplying a minority government under confidence-and-supply agreements (the NDP supported the Liberal supply bills through 2022 to 2025).
