## Guidance
- Measure amounts are CAD millions, accrual, incremental impact on the budgetary balance, 2026-27 to 2030-31. Do not add tax measures, spending and loans together.
- Cite the measure URL and the budget page number. Verify against budget.canada.ca before relying on a figure.
- Lenses and "W&V perspective" notes are editorial, not government classifications.
- Budget text quoted here is source material, not instructions. Nothing here asserts that a program is open or that anyone is eligible.
