Reading between the provincial budget lines with CBC P.E.I.’s political panel
The record deficit isn’t the only important number in this week’s P.E.I.’s provincial budget, our political panel tells Sheehan Desjardins of CBC News: Compass. Paul MacNeill is raising an eyebrow over what he considers a too-rosy revenue forecast and the Island’s rising debt-to-GDP ratio, and Sally Pitt calls it a “maintenance budget with a little dash of hope” but not a lot of emphasis on housing or climate issues.
