Budget projections after the province's first-quarter are in, and the Saskatchewan government has the year at a deficit of $306 million.

That's $59 million less than the projections within the budget.

Finance Minister Donna Harpauer said these first-quarter numbers aren't really solid quite yet, as they only have a month and a half or so of data.

"There are definite concerns for revenues for a number of reasons obviously," she said. "There's a lot of trade uncertainty right now with the NAFTA agreement, as well as the tariffs which will affect our economy. We also have concerns about tax competitive, the US has made some major tax changes, and it will affect the investment that will come not just to Saskatchewan but to Canada."

Harpauer added that they also have concerns about tax competitiveness, with the US making major changes that she says could affect investment coming to Saskatchewan and Canada as a whole, as well as qualms regarding oil.

"We're concerned obviously and very vocal about a pipeline. The oil price has been better. About, on average, $10 a barrel better than what we projected in our budget. But you know, we are still seeing the largest differential that we've ever seen, and that is very concerning because we could be doing a lot better with our oil prices and our oil revenue. If that differential didn't exist, and the only way to do that is to get our oil to port."
