Each year, the CCPA coordinates the Alternative Federal Budget - a plan that allows us to strengthen the economy, improve the quality of life for all people living in
Canada, and to eliminate the deficit by 2016.

Now, we're giving you the chance to build your own budget! Select the programs you think are important to building a better Canada. But keep an eye on the graphs!
Budget choices have consequences and with every program or taxation change comes an effect on the deficit and unemployment. When you think you've built the best
budget for Canada, be sure to name your plan and hit "Build My Budget" to share it online.
