Not Enough Cuts In Provincial Budget Says Watchdog Group

 Kevin Lacey with the Canadian Taxpayers Federation isn't all smiles when it comes to the provincial budget.

He tells CHSJ News he doesn't agree with Finance Minister Blaine Higgs when he claims it's a balanced budget.

He says the burden of the deficit is now on the taxpyer thanks to the increase to the gas tax and this budget features even more spending than the last one. 

However, Lacey says he is happy that the Conservatives held the line on the HST and made some cuts to civil service.
