Budgets are about choices
The CCPA has been coordinating the Alternative Federal Budget (AFB) since 1994 with the participation and support of researchers, activists and leadership from a broad spectrum of civil society organizations representing millions of Canadians. The AFB is a “what if” exercise. It demonstrates in a concrete and compelling way that better Canada is truly possible.
Every government budget tells you about that government’s priorities.
- The AFB puts the interest of the public ahead of the interests of an elite few.
- Our purpose is to expand the collective imagination of what is possible, to instill hope in hard times, and to make crystal clear alternatives to the status quo.
- And these alternatives aren’t just imagined. They are clearly articulated. We’ve put a price tag on them. And we’ve found realistic ways to pay for them.
