New Brunswick will table its latest budget Tuesday after months of warnings from Premier Susan Holt that spending in some areas will have to come down.
The budget will show how the government has chosen to make those cuts, which, according to Holt, is a necessary step to address a growing deficit.
It will also reveal what that deficit amounts to as of the end of the fiscal year, compared to the province’s last estimate of $1.3 billion.
A deficit of $1.3 billion would be unprecedented for New Brunswick, and already more than double her government’s projection as of last budget.
