The latest update on our province’s finances shows the deficit continues to rise.
The projected shortfall for the current fiscal year is now 9.4-billion dollars….up from the 8.9-billion in the last quarterly update in September.
Finance Minister Brenda Bailey says B-C will see “modest” economic growth over the next two years.
