It should also be noted that 2008-2009 had nearly 12 Billion of resource revenue. This government claims they have a revenue problem that is out of their control. That is false, as the revenue that's out of their control is still huge, and they should plan better to live within it.
Right, my initial point was that of course the sustainability fund was used following 2008-2009....that was the whole point of the fund. My comments after that about the Wildrose plan were of a different topic; they just released the report, I just read it and thought that I would post some thoughts. The two weren't really meant to be connected thoughts.
is a quote from the report I linked above. We have a significant deficit with near record revenues. Sounds like a problem of unsustainable spending to me.
