The budget speech will also be streamed live on Global News and Corus Facebook pages in Alberta, as well as on our YouTube page.
In an interview with Global News on Monday, Finance Minister Travis Toews said this budget will have themes consistent with the 2021 budget.
“We’re going to be sticking to our budget plan, our fiscal plan. We’re going to be reporting fiscal progress this year — fiscal progress relative to the fiscal anchors that we laid out in budget 2021,” he said.
Thursday’s budget will position Alberta’s economy for growth and diversification, according to the finance minister.
“We’ve worked hard to really position the province for investment attraction and growth, and we’ve taken a broad-based approach. I really believe that’s important,” Toews said. “Taking a broad-based approach, I believe, ultimately results in sustainable economic diversification.”
