Supply Bill Receives Royal Assent

Summary#

This House of Commons entry records that Royal Assent was given to a federal supply bill. The bill, An Act for granting to His Majesty certain sums of money for the federal public administration for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 (/Bill C-17, chapter 6, 2025), was signified on December 10, 2025 and the two Houses were notified on December 11, 2025.

What it does#

• Notes the publication of Standing Order 130 (notice of intended private bills) on May 24, 2025.
• Records that Royal Assent to the supply bill was signified by written declaration on December 10, 2025.
• Lists the supply bill by title as Bill C-17, chapter 6, 2025, which grants sums of money for federal government operations for the year ending March 31, 2026.
• Identifies parliamentary officials involved in the entry: Eric Janse (Clerk of the House of Commons) and Shaila Anwar (Clerk of the Senate).

Who's affected#

• Federal departments and agencies that receive operating or program funds for the fiscal year to March 31, 2026.
• Public servants and contractors paid from those federal funds.
• Members of the public who rely on federal programs and services funded by this bill.
• The entry does not list dollar amounts or how funds are divided; that detail is elsewhere.

Why it matters#

• This formal step lets the federal government spend money for its operations and programs through the stated fiscal year.
• Without such an appropriation, some government activities could be delayed or interrupted.
• The Canada Gazette notice is a routine public record confirming the procedural steps and dates for that approval.
