Everything on the table one week ahead of Sask. budget
The provincial budget is now just a week away, but not all of what comes out on March 22 will be a surprise.
The province is working to plug a $1.2 billion deficit by announcing not only wage cuts for MLAs and staff but also a 3.5 per cent reduction in compensation for the public sector.
Most recently government privatized cleaning services and other cost-cutting measures in order to reduce the deficit.
But it is now clear the deficit won’t be reduced in just one year as promised in the election campaign.
