“The government has no excuse not to balance the budget this year,” said CTF Prairie Director Gage Haubrich.
“The province can’t keep piling debt onto the backs of taxpayers and future generations.”
As of the end of March, Saskatchewan's debt will reach $17.1 billion, up from $4.15 billion in 2009.
