Peter Bethlenfalvy says the fiscal situation has improved by billions of dollars, although still running at a deficit.
The province is reporting a $6.5 billion deficit for the 2022-23 fiscal year, an improvement of $6.4 billion from its fall economic statement. Bethlenfalvy says the improvement is due to higher corporate tax revenue and increased revenue from sales taxes. He says after unprecedented investments during the pandemic, it's now time for the province to show restraint.
Bethlenfalvy says the province, like the rest of the world, continues to face pressures from high inflation, increased interest rates, geopolitical issues and supply chain disruptions.
