Well it doesn't help that between 2000 and 2010 Alberta's Public Sector Payroll increased by 120% double of any other province

I also read in a AUPE white paper the the Alberta Per Capita pay of Public Sector employees went from about 2400 to 3300 per year in the same period
So yeah if you look at that Public Service payroll is a major contributing factor to our budget issues.
