Our government continues to lay the groundwork for future growth with our clear plan for economic recovery - The Way Forward. Our plan set the stage for Budget 2010, which strikes the right balance of meeting today's needs while supporting our vision for lasting prosperity. This vision centres on a strong, competitive Alberta, with the most advanced infrastructure in Canada and the best publicly funded health care.
The Government of Alberta has a plan to move Alberta forward and Budget 2010 delivers on this plan. It advances Alberta's competitiveness. It holds the line on taxes. It positions Alberta to be back in the black in three years. Budget 2010 strikes the right balance between carefully managing our spending and protecting priority programs like health, education and supports for those in need.
