Praise for the Alward government budget from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business.
Atlantic Vice-President Leanne Hachey tells CHSJ News they were expecting the worst but pleasantly surprised to see government's going to do the hard work themselves in an effort to fix our financial problems.
She says they have to give the government full props for doing the tough work of finding efficiencies within government and restraining spending big time.
Hachey adds for the second year in a row the government has come in with spending increases that our less than inflation which is unheard of and the road less traveled for provincial governments.
