Finance Minister Andrew Thomson discusses his budget in Moose Jaw Sunday and reveals money has been set aside for the multiplex.

 

What do you think of our new provincial budget? Moose Jaw residents had an opportunity to voice their opinions at a public forum yesterday afternoon.

Finance Minister Andrew Thomson was the guest speaker and is happy to say that Moose Jaw will receive funding for the MultiPlex project. "I think its really going to change the community of Moose Jaw. We're just waiting for the city to make an application under the Communities Build Program but we have earmarked money for Moose Jaw for a project of that nature."

Thomson says the amount of provincial funding for the MultiPlex depends on the overall size of the project and he hopes to put in a request for funding in the next few weeks.

Other highlights that Thomson brought up include the new senior citizen drug plan that he says will benefit a lot of people here in Moose Jaw. Our Finance Minister also believes SIAST graduates will take advantage of the new Graduate tax credit.
