Let’s plan: Budget 2024
Albertans are invited to share their views as the government develops Budget 2024.
Feedback from Albertans is an important part of the budget process and will help set the province’s financial priorities. Budget 2024 will further the government’s commitment to balance the budget, address growth pressures, keep life affordable and stand up for Albertans.
Albertans are encouraged to fill out the Budget 2024 online survey and join telephone town halls with President of Treasury Board and Minister of Finance Nate Horner. Businesses, municipalities, industry associations, community organizations and other groups can send budget submissions on behalf of their organizations through an online portal.
“Budget 2024 is an opportunity to continue building a resilient economy, strengthening services for Albertans, attracting more investment and creating jobs. Your input is important in determining how we will keep our economy moving forward so every Albertan can benefit from our prosperity and responsible fiscal management. I look forward to hearing what is important to you and your community for Budget 2024.”
— Nate Horner, President of Treasury Board and Minister of Finance
Listening is key to the budget process, and through public consultations with Albertans, community groups, business leaders and the finance community, the government can build a stronger and more prosperous future for tomorrow.
The survey and online submission portal are live until Jan. 19, 2024. Telephone town halls will be held on Dec. 11 and Dec. 12. To participate, Albertans can register online.
