I think it ll be provincial job cuts or revenue raising..... there is potentially up to a ten billion dollar hole according to prentice depending on how oil plays out.
Even just 6 billion is 60 000 jobs @100k/yr. To get the budget loss back or atleast under control it cant all come out of job cuts.
I think 60ish thousand people work for the gov so going after spending isnt going to go over well for the population or the province. With the private sector chopping jobs it is probably going to really hurt if the government gets the hatchet out.
Another thing people miss with government employees.... unlike private entities the government gets alot of their money back in taxes on the wages lol. A 100k employee gives 10% back to their employer if it is the government
