“I would like to thank members of the public and stakeholder groups for their participation in the 2020 pre-budget process. We will evaluate this year’s feedback along with feedback we’ve received in consultations from previous years as we make decisions around ways to reduce spending, increase revenues and which priority areas to focus on for Budget 2020 decisions.”
Honourable Tom Osborne
Minister of Finance and President of Treasury Board
