Pre-Budget Submission: Your Voice. Your Future.

HRAI has just delivered a powerful Federal Pre-Budget Submission to Ottawa—putting the HVACR industry front and centre in national policy discussions.

HRAI has called on the federal government to:

  • Protect Cross-Border Trade – Prevent damaging U.S. tariffs and keep essential HVACR products—like natural gas furnaces—affordable for Canadians.
  • Supercharge Our Workforce – Invest $100M over the next decade to retrain, upskill, and certify thousands of HVACR professionals to meet Canada’s net-zero goals.
  • Champion Healthy Indoor Air – Establish national IAQ standards, certify professionals, and launch a national awareness campaign to improve Canadians’ health and productivity.
  • Unlock Retrofit Potential – Consult HVACR experts to design retrofit programs that actually deliver deep energy savings and cut emissions.

Why does it matter: These recommendations protect your business, grow market opportunities, and ensure our industry’s expertise drives government action—before decisions are made without us. Watch here for important updates as this story unfolds.
