Well despite what you might have interpreted him as saying, I think if you read any of Mintz' work or articles it's clear that he supports spending cuts. He quite firmly believes that Alberta has a huge spending problem first, and while he supports a revenue neutral change in tax policy, he certainly doesn't think the government has a shortage in revenues.
Actually, I see he has tweeted you directly with the same sentiment so I don't need to copy it here.
