Province’s financial future positive

paNOW Staff

Saskatchewan's financial picture is looking a little rosier, according to the government.

In the third quarter of this fiscal year, revenue is up to nearly $11 billion largely thanks to increased taxes and non-renewable resources revenues like oil and potash.

The government is spending just shy of that on recently announced projects like flood prevention measures, long-term care homes and education.

“You have to remember that a year ago the pressure on building a budget was significant and many projects were deferred. There were things that needed to happen but there was financial uncertainty in the province,” said Ken Krawetz, finance minister.
