Since 2000, the CCPA-NS has stimulated the dialogue on Nova Scotia’s economy through its alternative budget document, a tool to assess the fiscal situation and the choices available to governments in Nova Scotia. Provincial budgets, like all public policy, are about choices and values. Through the budget, our governments make important choices that have serious implications for the everyday lives of Nova Scotians, now and in the future.
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.
