Alternative Federal Budget
A better way to budget
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.
