It’s Provincial Budget Day

Finance Minister Allan MacMaster will release the Progressive Conservative government’s first budget, this afternoon.

Today’s budget comes after MacMaster unveiled a capital plan worth 1.5 billion dollars, last week.

That’s the highest annual amount spent on capital projects in the province’s history.

The Tories campaigned on a promise to fix healthcare and several healthcare funding announcements have already been made.

MacMaster is expected to start delivering the 2022-23 fiscal blueprint at around 1:15 this afternoon.
