Provincial Finance Minister Blaine Higgs says the government does have a plan but he wants to see jobs created that will last a long time by focusing on certain areas that have the potential for hiring.
Higgs points to the big highway projects as the wrong way to create jobs because they disappear after a short while and the province is then stuck with a big bill to maintain what was built.
He says the government is looking at helping small businesses grow by removing barriers that are seen as an impediment.
