KPMG experts to dissect Canada's 2026 spring economic update

KPMG's senior leaders are available for media interviews following the announcement of the spring economic update on April 28, 2026. KPMG representatives can provide insights on a wide range of government priorities and topics that affect the business community and Canadians, as the government provides a fiscal accounting of its economic plan.

" In this period of global instability, government and business need to work together to build economic resilience and play to our strengths," says Lucy Iacovelli, Canadian Managing Partner, Tax and Legal, KPMG in Canada. " This economic update must demonstrate responsible fiscal management while diversifying the economy, freeing up Canadian businesses to grow and spurring investment. With a majority government in Ottawa, faster follow-through on outstanding tax measures would provide greater certainty for business and could help unlock new opportunities."
