Finance Committee Recommends Canadian Brain Research Initiative in Budget 2025 Report

The House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance (FINA) has released its report on the 2025 pre-budget consultations, setting out recommendations to the federal government ahead of Budget 2025.

Among them was our recommendation, which calls on Government to create a brain initiative for Canada with stable, targeted funding and, importantly, a sustained commitment to support it long-term. Its inclusion reflects recognition of this priority across all parties as represented on the Finance Committee.

This outcome demonstrates the power of Canada’s brain and mental health community speaking with one voice — momentum we can all be proud of as we move forward together.
