Pre-budget consultations open to Islanders

Island residents are invited to participate in the annual pre-budget consultations for the 2026-2027 provincial operating budget. 

Residents can submit their thoughts and ideas in a variety of ways:

• Email budgetsubmissions@gov.pe.ca
• Participate in an online survey in English or in French
• Register for one of two virtual consultations and an opportunity to give a five-minute presentation to the Minister of Finance. To learn more about this bilingual event and to register, visit Pre-Budget.

“Pre-operating budget consultations are a critical component of a transparent, inclusive and accountable budgeting process. A good budget responds to Islanders and these consultations are your opportunity to share your thoughts and solutions on what you think government should prioritize. It's vital that we hear from residents, community groups, organizations and businesses as we work to keep this Island a competitive and supportive environment for investment, employment and communities.”

— Minister of Finance Jill Burridge

The deadline for submissions is Dec 24, 2025. Islanders’ feedback will be provided to the relevant departments for consideration as they develop their budget submissions.
