The proof is that we don't have enough money to meet the previously agreed budgets for education and other areas. Now maybe those budgets were too high - that's a different discussion - but it doesn't change my main point that basing your finances on fluctuating resource revenues is a terrible way to run the province. Maybe I should have said we have a revenue stability problem rather implying that we simply need more revenue.
