A “scaled-back” budget will be announced Wednesday afternoon by Finance Minister Donna Harpauer.

The government will release their budget estimates and spending plan, but will save the revenue forecasts for another date.

Premier Scott Moe says, with the uncertainty around the world right now, revenues are too hard to predict meaning a deficit budget could be in the cards…

Moe says you will see record levels of spending in key areas like healthcare and infrastructure when the numbers are released.
