Fedeli counters Liberal spin on deficit projection

Nipissing MPP Vic Fedeli isn’t buying the Liberal rhetoric that the government is outperforming its deficit projections.  The Liberals say the deficit is now expected to come in at $10.9 billion instead of $12.5 billion like they first thought.  But Fedeli says it’s still going up.  Two years ago the deficit was $9.2 billion, last year it hit $10.5 billion and now it’s $10.9 billion.  Fedeli says contrary to what the Liberals claim, we’re moving further from a balanced budget.  The Tory MPP say there is no way the Wynne Liberals can have a balanced budget by April 2018.
