NDP Favours Trigger FOI Shows Manitoba Like-Minded Spending
A FOI request reveals Manitoba NDP handed over over $15 000 in taxpayers funds to the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives in 2001 plus 250 for an annual contribution and 200 for a conference. CTF questions the need for public funding of a group that promotes cooperative policies and criticizes the subscriptions as available on the CCPA site. BC’s former NDP government did similar spending, including a 200 000 contract and 105 000 for a 3 year subscription, prompting claims taxpayers are shortchanged in both provinces.
