Alberta Budget 2016 Consultation
Official title: Budget 2016 consultation
Alberta asked residents for input on Budget 2016 priorities during a tough economic period. The consultation focused on the Alberta Jobs Plan—supporting families and businesses, creating jobs, diversifying the economy, and controlling spending. Input was gathered through online surveys and virtual town halls.
Why This Matters
This was your chance to tell the Alberta government how to spend your tax dollars during an economic downturn. Job losses? Rising costs? The province wanted to know what mattered most to you and your family.
What Could Change
Budget decisions affected job creation programs, support for struggling businesses, and which public services got funded or cut. The government used this input to shape spending priorities during Alberta's economic challenges.
Key Issues
- How should the government support families and businesses through the economic downturn?
- What job creation and economic diversification efforts should be prioritized?
- Where should government spending be controlled or reduced?
How to Participate
