province s budget is satisfactory from the perspective that the six per cent increase for hospital operating expenses is not enough to offset the hospital wage cost increase of per cent for this year

funding issue Bill Harrison Halton Public Board of Education Chairman We are pleased the government extended capital funding 300 million for another year in tion to the million for educa and municipalities We are a little disappointed that the government dldn t give a time line as to when it would start pro viding per cent of education funding as the government said it would As well we
