Provincial Finance Minister Blaine Higgs will be holding his first pre-budget consultation.
The Atlantic Director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, Kevin Lacey tells CHSJ News he's hoping Higgs and the Premier will stick to their guns and cut spending but not raise taxes.
Lacey is optimistic that will happen, pointing out Higgs last week cut so called golden hand shakes for provincial government workers which saved the government an estimated 50 million dollars.
