Alberta Federation of Labour President Gil McGowan said the finance minister appears to be more intent on finding scapegoats than solutions.
“The real cause of the problem has to do with years and years of cuts to taxes for high income earners and corporations, and years and years of royalty giveaways,” he said. “It has nothing to do with how much we pay our public sector workers.”

Yes, the real cause is tax cuts that happened 12 years ago. Although I do agree health premiums should not have been cut (ironically tax cuts benefiting low and middle income earners).
