Find out what Budget 2022 means for you.
Budget 2022 moves Alberta forward by building health system capacity, getting more Albertans to work, and putting forward a balanced budget for only the second time in over a decade.
Alberta’s continued economic recovery depends on all Albertans finding opportunities to build their skills, pursue their passions and support themselves and their families. Employers are looking for skilled workers to fill jobs in emerging sectors.
We are strengthening the health-care system and maintaining fiscal responsibility, while ensuring Alberta still has the lowest overall taxes in Canada by far so Albertans can keep more money in their pockets.
By 2024-25, we will add a total of $1.8 billion in operating expense to the total health care budget, which means $600 million more in 2022-23 than the previous year.
Budget 2022 provides over $600 million in additional funding over the next 3 years for Alberta at Work – a collection of new post-secondary education, skills training opportunities and employment programs.
Budget 2022 is Alberta’s second balanced budget in over a decade thanks to responsible fiscal management, a growing economy and strong energy prices. The budget is guided by 3 fiscal anchors:
Budget 2022 provides wide-reaching supports for both rural and urban communities across the province. Strategic investments will help ensure Alberta is one of the best places in the world to live, work and raise a family.
Global supply chain and pandemic issues are pushing up the price of goods and services, which is driving inflation and making life less affordable for Canadians. With our lower cost of living, combined with relatively high average earning and the lowest overall taxes, Budget 2022 makes Alberta an even more affordable place to call home.
