Well the province has doubled in population in the past few decades. A 20% increase in the past decade alone. That's going to see budgets rise. When you factor in that growth as well as inflation, a even a 5% budget increase could be an effective budget cut compared to previous years and service levels.
I'm not sure there's an effective way to adjust budget increases to correct for both inflation and population growth.
