Alberta budget cuts spark bold shift to performance driven government
Peter Holle argues Alberta slashes spending across departments by 28 percent this year with 800 government jobs gone now and 1,800 more over two years. The plan trims municipal grants, raises health premiums, and rejects new taxes while pushing a performance oriented framework to deliver high quality services at lower costs. The piece links Alberta’s approach to broader provincial fiscal caution and urges Manitoba to reconsider its own revenue and spending philosophy.
