ALT A NATIONAL NETWORK OF PUBLIC GROCERY STORES - A downpayment on a network of public grocery stores from coast to coast to cut grocery costs by 35-40% - $350 million for initial infrastructure, $290 million ongoing to build 50 stores No one should go hungry while grocery CEOs are worth billions.
ALT A WARTIME LEVEL BUILD OUT OF PUBLIC HOUSING - Triple federal investment in community housing over 10 years to $18 billion to build a million new non-market homes. The market won't solve the problems it created. We need homes for people, not for profit.
ALT A NATION-BUILDING INVESTMENT IN HEALTHCARE - Increase the Canada Health Transfer by at least 6% per year - Conclude and fund pharmacare deals with the remaining provinces and territories Canadians deserve a world-class public healthcare system that covers you from head to toe.
ALT TO PAY FOR IT, WE WILL TAX THE ULTRA-RICH - Wealth tax starting at 1% on fortunes exceeding $10 million, up to 3% on the target fortunes to generate up to $40 billion per year, and $500 billion over ten years The ultra rich are doing better than ever while millions are struggling. It's time they pay their fair share.
ALT Letter from NDP Avi Lewis to Prime Minister Carney outlining three NDP priorities for Budget 2026: 1. A down payment on a network of public grocery stores from coast to coast. $350 million for initial infrastructure, $290 million ongoing to build 50 stores. 2. Triple the federal government's investment in community housing over 10 years to $18 billion, to build a million new non-market homes. 3. A nation-building investment in health care, guaranteeing an increase of at least 6% per year to the Canada Health Transfer, costing $12 billion over 5 years. Additionally, conclude and fund pharmacare deals with the remaining provinces and territories. To fund these investments, we are calling for a wealth tax starting at 1% on fortunes exceeding $10 million and escalating to 3% on the largest fortunes, which could generate up to $40 billion a year, and $500 billion over ten years.
