The Province needs a “Mini-Budget”. The Government should commit to dismantling
Nalcor, too.
Presently, the House of
Assembly is engaged in a ridiculous debate over minimal savings on downsizing
the Legislature. The Government has created a diversion; large, financially
worthy decisions are delayed. It should to be talking about public policy
issues and measures that will seriously downsize government expenditures; it
dwells on an amount equal to a rounding error in the context of the size of the
deficit, especially next year's.
A crisis looms; the important issues can’t make it to the top of the public agenda.
