The Government of Alberta is presently soliciting input into the next provincial budget.
As you may be aware, there are already concerns about the impact on justice from the last budget presentation. This consultation is an opportunity for members to make their voices heard on the importance of adequately resourcing the justice system. Without your input, it is difficult for justice issues to be seen as a priority in funding decisions.
Through its Agenda for Justice, the CBA has been active in advocating for resourcing for the justice system and related issues. Please review the Agenda and the related Justice Matters Infographic, and then make your views known as the government prepares for its next budget. The government survey is February 7, 2020 and you can access it here: https://www.alberta.ca/budget-consultation.aspx.
Thank you for making this a priority,
Ola Malik
President, CBA Alberta
