Every year as part of the federal government's budget process, the budget committee asks for "pre-budget submissions." Essentially these documents are ideas that any person or group can put forward about what they would like to see in the upcoming federal budget. The goal is to have the ideas find their way into the actual budget. Pre-budget submissions can be submitted in writing and/or in person during the fall. Below is a partial list of the written pre-budget submissions from AFB partners whether from NGO's, civil society groups or labour groups.
The list will be updated as more submissions are made.

The CCPA Monitor is the only place I know that one can go to for accurate and honest reporting on the state of the world. I would hate like hell to ever be without The CCPA Monitor; it would be like losing my sight and my hearing. I heartily recommend it to anybody who gives a damn about the condition of the world.
