On May 31, the new Manitoba
government led by Premier Brian Pallister released its budget, less than a
month after their win. It is notable that the former NDP government had
been in power for 17 years, meaning the budget was based primarily on the new
government's campaign platform to make Manitoba better. The Manitoba budget and the various documents related to it are available here:http://www.gov.mb.ca/finance/budget16/index.html On June 1, the Saskatchewan government released its budget, indicating a deficit of $434 million in 2016-17 with a plan to "transform" government expenditures and operations. Significantly reduced natural
resources revenues were cited as a key reason why revenues were lower than
anticipated. There were no tax increases announced and the role of
agriculture was indicated as a key contributor to the province’s continued
growth.
