AFB 2011 presents a comprehensive recovery plan designed to:
- get Canadians working in good jobs again;
- reduce record-high income inequality, strengthen Canada’s middle class, and improve supports for Canada’s poor and most vulnerable;
- protect public programs that all Canadians
rely on — including public health care and
public pensions; - manage Canada’s debt-to-GDP ratio
without vital public program cuts; - get serious about reducing greenhouse gas
emissions; and - launch a multi-pronged initiative to
expand high value-added production in key
sectors.
The AFB 2011 begins with a reckoning: There is no going back to the old way of doing things. The global meltdown helped discredit a freemarket system where governments turned a blind eye to lax regulations and let their citizens bear all the risks of a wild-west economy. Citizens around the world are still paying the price for that failed experiment.
