Finance Minister Blaine Higgs tells CHSJ News response to his department's web survey has been strong with over a thousand responses.
Higgs says a number of people are in favor of cuts to spending while just under half of respondents indicate they believe it will be necessary for a combination of spending cuts and increased taxes to deal with the deficit.
A series of public consultations is also set to begin later this month. Higgs is scheduled to deliver his first budget in late March.
