Remaining Pre-budget Consultations Scheduled

The Honourable Tom Marshall, Minister of Finance and President of Treasury Board, will conclude the pre-budget consultations process with meetings in St. Anthony, Labrador City-Wabush and Happy Valley-Goose Bay.

"The consultation meetings have been well attended and we are receiving some very instructive submissions; I am confident the forthcoming meetings in Labrador and St. Anthony will be just as informative," said Minister Marshall. "The results of all pre-budget consultation meetings will be analyzed during the budgetary process and will help us construct a budget that is both fiscally responsible and strategic in spending priorities."

For those individuals and groups who would like to provide their comments and ideas, but who are not able to attend a community roundtable discussion, submissions should be made in writing to the Minister of Finance, Department of Finance, P.O. Box 8700, St. John�s, NL, A1B 4J6. Comments may also be faxed to 709-729- 2070 or e-mailed to budgetsubmissions@gov.nl.ca. For further information please contact 709-729-2944.
