A budget for the many
The Nova Scotia Alternative Budget is a collaborative budget, involving stakeholders from many sectors of our province, including front-line service organizations, other non-profit organizations, and academics with diverse expertise. It includes a set of fiscal policy measures in a workable budget that considers the province’s fiscal, social, environmental, and economic realities. It is framed to ensure that the choices do not just benefit the few, but are in the best interest of the public and the many.
