Budget Day Is A Month Away




The Provincial budget is a mere four weeks off and many fear it will features a lot of slicing and dicing.

David Alward tells CHSJ News adding tolls to provincial highways and increasing the HST are not on the government's radar screen.

He says they did not run on a mandate to increase tolls or the HST and the only way it can be done is with a referendum.   He adds they have no plans for that this spring.

Alward praising the work of his Finance Minister Blaine Higgs on his recent pre-budget consultation tour of the province.  The budget comes out on March 27th.
