Stabilizing Alberta's Revenues

Résumé du livre

The Province of Alberta is currently dealing with a fiscal shortfall resulting from an over-reliance on natural resources revenues in funding core services such as health care, education, social services, and public infrastructure. This report shows that Alberta's budget difficulties are not related to over-spending, and therefore cannot be addressed by austerity measures. The report also shows that continued over-reliance upon natural resources royalties subjects Albertans to the economic volatility and long-term unsustainability inherent in oil and gas revenues.
