Province says spending restraint required in first quarter fiscal update

The first quarter fiscal report was released Tuesday by finance minister Travis Toews. "This Q1 report shows just how much work is needed to get Alberta back on track," said Toews in a statement. "Compared to Q1 last year, we are now paying an additional $93 million on debt servicing instead of on programs and services for Albertans." Th
