It is an overview of their broad spending plans. Some of the detail that you are looking for is simply unattainable for an opposition party. The Alberta government has an entire department dedicated to budgeting I am not sure how or why you expect a volunteer organization to get the resources to duplicate that work. The other issue is that I don't think the WRA can get all of the information that is required. I am sure that they can't ask a department to provide a review of their spending.
I also took a look online to see what the Liberal and NDP party came up with for alternate budgets and couldn't find any document that provided their alternative. They had random ideas spread around their sites but nothing that provided an overview and certainly nothing that went into the level of detail that you require. Can I assume that you are leaning towards the government in power as they are the only ones who have the resources to fully cost everything they propose? |
Is it really too much to ask though? We're talking about an organization that plans to form the next government here and they claim that they would accomplish all of this with no tax increases and with no deficit or debt. Why is it asking too much of them to provide the figures with how they come to that?
The Liberal platform is released and has been fully costed. You might disagree with the platform, but it clearly shows what they're spending and how it would be paid for. I have no idea about the NDP.
