The premier says more information on promised cost of living measures will be released “over the next few weeks.”
The province has raked in hundreds-of-millions of dollars in excess revenue from oil this year, and it has indicated that the plan is to use it to provide relief on cost of living pressures.
Tony Wakeham wouldn’t provide any specifics on what measures the province is looking at, only to say that the province has “many levers” and they are going to “pull a few of them.”
Stating that the measures will go hand-in-hand with the fall fiscal update, Wakeham spoke vaguely when asked if the measures will be rolled out before, or after the House of Assembly opens on October 26.
“I think that you’ll see some things before (the House of Assembly opens,) some things during, and some things after.”
