The provincial government has launched an online survey as part of its consultations for the coming fiscal plan.

“Leading up to Budget 2019, we heard from more than 4,000 people online and almost 35,000 people during our telephone town halls [and] Albertans demonstrated that they have incredible insight into the choices we must make together to create jobs, get out of debt and grow our economy,” Finance Minister Travis Toews said in a news release on Tuesday.

“As we continue on this path, I want to hear your thoughts. We made a good start in Budget 2019 and we need to keep that momentum going.”
