Harpauer said there will be “record high” investment across several sectors but this will be done through “a sustainable, responsible manner where we have the revenue to pay for those expenses and in order to sustain them into the future.” However, Health Minister Paul Merriman accused the NDP Opposition of no “paying attention” if it feels there was nothing to address health-care concerns.
“I have committed that I do not want to do that as finance minister,” said Harpauer, saying she feels it would be “irresponsible” to do otherwise.
