The Gallant Liberals revealing that the provincial deficit is higher than originally thought.
It’s now going to be 466 million dollars–13 million dollars higher that what was forecast late last year.
Kevin Lacey of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation says the problem is that this government keeps spending money and raising taxes.
