Every year the federal finance committee invites different groups to submit their budget ideas. The theory goes that good ideas can then be incorporated into the federal budget. This year the list of those invited to submit pre-budget submissions has shrunk, with many organizations that previously presented now being left out in the cold.
Several Alternative Federal Budget Partners have still been invited to submit their budget ideas. Below is a partial list of those submissions:
- Canadian Association of Retired Persons
- Child Care Advocacy Association of Canada
The CCPA’s bold vision and creative solutions help us imagine better futures for all. Its efforts to build bridges between labour, industry, and civil society and mentor young activists lay the foundation for realizing those provocative futures. I consider my support for the CCPA an investment in a better future for British Columbia.
