The Prince Edward-Hastings MPP says the province’s 2017 budget is anything but balanced.
The province says it has released its first balanced budget in years, with investments into healthcare and education.
MP Todd Smith says in order to create the balanced budget, the province had to bring in cash by selling off a number of assets.
The provincial budget sets out a new drug benefit program to cover the cost of prescriptions for anyone under 25 years old, which Smith calls a distraction tactic.
Smith says there are not a lot of new taxes in the budget, but there will be a number of fee increases.
