Finance Minister Joe Ceci finally uttered the words Thursday he tried so hard not to say just a day earlier, admitting that Alberta's projected deficit could reach a record this spring of $10.4 billion.
Ceci said public sector layoffs and tax increases are not on the table.

Of course they're not going to mess with their power-base, and they cant keep increasing taxes because you have to have some income in order to pay income taxes so they're just going to spend their way into oblivion until it isnt their problem anymore.
If I were a public sector employee I'd hold onto my butt as soon as the NDP are out of power because thats going to rapidly become an unpleasant situation.
When Joe Ceci gets out of office he should go back to Social Work, theres going to be a lot of work for him to do.
