"For the past ten years, the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives has produced alternative federal budgets, timed to coincide with the federal budget. The goal from the outset has been "to show that governments do have choices*", with the resulting annual Alternative Federal Budget (AFB) demonstrating "what a government could do if it were truly committed to a progressive social and economic agenda".
For the first time, the Canadian Conference of the Arts was involved in the process this year, providing input into the section on culture. This section stresses the need to invest not only in traditional concepts of infrastructure (such as roads and sewers) but also in cultural infrastructure. Linking the presence of the arts in urban regeneration to attracting new businesses, improving quality of life, and promoting tourism, "the AFB will provide increased, stable, multi-year funding to Canada's national cultural institutions and agencies"."
