Palliser Conservative says we can expect "the best deal since confederation" to be announced in the next federal budget, maybe sooner.

 

With a New Year on the way, the federal government is starting to think about a new budget.

Palliser Member of Parliament Dave Batters assures us that's when we can expect some type of announcement on a new equalization deal for Saskatchewan. "I was very happy to see the Prime Minister a few days ago and declare, without hesitation, that Saskatchewan is going to get the best deal under our new government in terms of equalization that's its ever had since confederation."

Batters says the only thing that could prevent the deal would be an election forced by the Opposition Parties before the budget could be delivered.
