Statement on Budget 2025

“I am glad to see that in Budget 2025, Minister Champagne has committed to renewal of the Canada Music Fund for an additional three years. This sustained investment is a powerful vote of confidence in Canadian creators, entrepreneurs and music industry professionals.

FACTOR recognizes the importance of this commitment. It will empower musicians, writers, producers, and publishers to record, tour, promote, and grow their audiences, as well as the small and medium-sized businesses that support them. It will have a positive contribution not only to our cultural sovereignty but also to Canada’s creative economy.

A sincere thank you to Steven Guilbeault, Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture and Minister responsible for Official Languages, and to all who partner with us in ensuring Canadian music continues to thrive and reach global audiences.

The future for Canadian music looks brighter than ever.” – Meg Symsyk, FACTOR President & CEO
