Not planning to balance the budget until 2024?  That is WEAK to say the least!
Really, given economic conditions, our Federal government and any of the Provinces not heavily dependent on resources (basically all but AB, SK and NL) should have balanced their budget in the 2013/14 fiscal year and CERTAINLY by the 2015/16 fiscal year.
I will grant that the current Manitoba government did inherit a bit of a fiscal mess, but going into their second year in power they should be starting to take MUCH bolder steps to clean it up!
