REGINA — Saskatchewan’s government says it’s finishing the last fiscal year with a $249-million deficit.
The province says the deficit is slightly smaller than the $273-million deficit it projected in the 2024-25 budget.
Finance Minister Jim Reiter says both revenues and expenses increased last year.
The province received $990 million more in revenues, which includes a large settlement from tobacco companies.
Expenses were up by $970 million due to increases in health, agriculture and natural resources.
Saskatchewan’s net debt increased by $1.3 billion due to investments into roads, schools and hospitals.
