Finance Minister Greg Byrne says the provincial government is not looking to increase taxes to create a balanced budget.
Byrne says the province is not looking to reverse one of the key pillars of it's platform for economic transformation.
Byrne tells CHSJ News, it's important to take the public consultations to rural areas, rather than just the bigger cities to find out how the public wants to deal with the upcoming budget.
As of right now the province is looking at a $741 million dollar deficit in the 2010-2011 budget.
