CCPA releases Alternative Federal Budget 2013
National Office | Update: Projects & Initiatives - Alternative Federal BudgetMarch 11, 2013
Today, the CCPA releases the Alternative Federal Budget 2013: Doing Better Together. This year's AFB shows how growth-killing austerity can be replaced by a plan that strengthens the economy, leads to a better quality of life for all Canadians, and eliminates the deficit by 2016.
This year's Alternative Federal Budget:
reduces poverty and inequality by investing in child care, pharmacare, affordable housing, income supports, and post-secondary education, tackles the ongoing crisis for First Nations housing, drinking water, education, implements a long term, transparent and public plan for investments in infrastructure, creates 300,000 jobs, lowering the unemployment rate to 6% by 2014, and introduces a new top personal income tax bracket, closes the biggest tax loopholes, and introduces a withholding tax on tax havens.
The full budget document, a budget-in-brief, and infographics are available in both English and French.
