Quote:
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) was informed Monday by Finance Minister Doug Horner’s office that for the first time in 20 years, it would be denied entry to the stakeholder budget lockup on March 7th.
Since its creation in 1990, the CTF has always provided pre-budget recommendations and participated in the budget lockup as the largest taxpayer advocacy group in the country – representing thousands of Albertans. The lockup allows stakeholders to study the budget in order to provide insight and reaction to the media on a fair footing with opposition parties and the government.
”Not letting the CTF see the numbers won’t make the numbers any better. Hiding from critics won’t make us go away,” said CTF-Alberta Director Derek Fildebrandt.
