Finance Minister Higgs Finds Potential Lawsuit Unfortunate

The Province's Finance Minister says you can't re-shuffle the deck and give savings from one department to another. Blaine Higgs responding to a call from the Opposition Liberals to give $60 million in savings from the Department of Transportation to scale back cuts to education.
In response to a CHSJ News question, Higgs tells us he is disappointed to hear the province's Acadian society is considering legal action over the cuts to education.

He says he finds it unfortunate that is the line of defence saying these groups decide to sue the government instead of working to be better than they are today. Higgs says spending more money is not the answer but, spending it in a more efficient manner is how things will change.
