'budgeting'

'Most of us have some experience with the difficult decisions that come with budgeting and setting priorities. But, unlike the federal government, most of us aren't sitting on an un-cashed cheque worth $1.4 billion. That's the amount the federal government will fail to collect from the oil and gas industry this year because of federal tax breaks and incentives (check out the subsidy counter). Something is seriously wrong with our priorities when tax breaks to oil and gas companies are larger than Environment Canada's entire operating budget.'
