There is a new revenue sharing agreement for municipalities in the newly tabled Provincial Budget.

Frank Quinnel, MLA with the NDP Opposition, explained that the government is being wildly optimistic and irresponsible. The Opposition New Democrats are very concerned that the current government is digging itself into a hole.

The government will increase funding to school divisions by $241 million this year to a record $990.5 million. Jim Reiter, MLA for the Rosetown-Elrose constituency and Legislative Secretary to the Minister of Education and Deputy Premier, explained that it is a "good-news" budget.

Reiter added that the most exciting part of the budget for him was the long-term education property tax relief.
