flag Manitoba's federal equalization payment rises by $355 million to $5 billion in 2025.

flag Federal equalization payments to Manitoba are projected to rise by $355 million, or 7.5 percent, in the upcoming fiscal year, reaching $5 billion, according to Ottawa figures released on December 12, 2025. flag This increase reflects adjustments in the federal formula designed to support provinces with lower fiscal capacity in delivering public services. flag Manitoba, the only western province currently receiving such funds, faces an expected $890 million deficit this year and aims to balance its budget before the 2027 election. flag The rise marks a significant increase from 2020 levels, when payments were half the current amount, and continues a decade-long trend of growing transfers.
