I don't see how that's anything other than what I've represented? I didn't say he didn't support spending cuts, I just said he spoke in favour of moderate spending cuts.

Perhaps you can outline exactly what you mean by 'moderate' spending cuts?
Everything I have read regarding Mintz would suggest he believes running deficits is wrong, that he doesn't support increasing tax revenues, and he doesn't support wasting royalty revenues on program spending.
Thus, it seems he would support reductions in spending in the neighborhood of 10-12 billion dollars annually.
It's almost as if he wrote the Wild Rose fiscal platform. Moderate spending cuts, no deficits, and saving for the future.
