Brad Michaleski says this year’s provincial budget will have an overall positive tone.
Our local MLA will be in Winnipeg as the budget is released around three this afternoon.
“It’s going to be steady as it goes. In terms of the course the government is taking they’ve been pretty focused on fixing the finances and repairing the services. I think the overall theme of that budget is going to be much in line with the actions the government has been taking over the last number of years."
Earlier this week, Finance Minister Scott Fielding said there is still significant work ahead to fix the province’s finances and return to a balanced budget.
Michaleski continues, “If I go back a year or two there was a lot of concern with the fiscal state of the province. There was a lot of concern being expressed in terms of the health care system, how it was operating, and wait times were a big issue, availability of service was a big issue. But since then, the people that I’m talking to, they see what we’re doing as a government. We’re acting in a very responsible way.”
