Debates in Parliament on the 2027 budget are set to be complicated. The House of Representative’s Finance Committee has recommended that it be rejected, by 15 votes to 9. More than a hundred proposals are on the table.
According to the committee chair, Jacques Nicolet, “we must put a budget on the table. We have not failed in our duty. But we have not managed to produce a budget that has been approved by our committee”.
