A report from the Ontario Alternative Budget Working Group released today challenges the key assumption underlying the Eves Government's claim that the province is on the brink of another fiscal crisis.
The report analyzes the state of Ontario's budget for 2002-3 in light of the oft-repeated claim that the province faces a budget shortfall or "problem" of between $3 billion and $5 billion in fiscal year 2002-3.
It shows that, based on the Governments own current projections, the Conservatives can anticipate a budget surplus of $600 million for 2002-3.
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.
