Fiscal Policy Trends: The Path to Balance or the Road to Ruin?

Bev Dahlby ()

SPP Communique, 2018, vol. 10, issue 18

Abstract: The NDP government’s plan to balance the provincial budget by 2023-24 is based on drastically cutting capital spending and on optimistic revenue projections. In order to show that these are the key elements of the “Path to Balance”, we need to know how interest payments on debt, total operating expenditures, and the cash deficits will evolve under the government’s plan, but these key fiscal variables are not reported in the budget documents.
