Alberta’s Notley says budget plan is working but she’ll alter if need be
EDMONTON — Premier Rachel Notley says her government will stick with its economic plan despite a budget deficit of almost $11 billion, but will alter course if necessary.
Notley made the comments Friday as she renewed her attack on the 2015 election platform of former Progressive Conservative premier Jim Prentice.
“The key is to stay in line with the projections that we put in place and the slow reduction of the deficit over time in a responsible way that allows the public service to do what it needs to do,” Notley said.
“If we find that we’re not able to stick to the careful path that we’ve laid out, well then obviously we’ll reconfigure, we’ll recalibrate, we’ll change course, but it’s going to be careful.”
