We’re just under a month away from the provincial government announcing the budget and its 4-year projections.

Premier Scott Moe says these projections will be longer than many other, if not all, provinces when they provide their respective budgets in the spring. And, he says the revenue projections will be variable as the global economy starts to recover.

Opposition leader Ryan Meili criticized the premier’s comments saying he is lying about his campaign promise from the fall to balance the provincial budget by 2024.

The NDP leader said in a statement that Moe refuses to give any concrete examples of what has changed between now and the last election.

The premier says the budget will show further support for long-term care and other crucial health care investments.

The budget will be introduced on April 6th when the spring session gets underway.
