Provincial budget raises spending to 7.34 billion with a 5 percent increase and taps 48 million from the Fiscal Stabilization Fund leaving 145 million. A one time federal transfer lifts health care funding to 3 billion, 41 percent of expenditures. Middle income taxes rise 6 percent starting Jan 1 2004. A cooperative work program tax credit of 10 percent up to 1000 per student and a 30 percent personal credit for community enterprise investments up to 9000 yearly. University tuition frozen. Critics say lack of rural development funds and outflow of educated workers to other provinces.
