The MUSH sectors (Municipalities, Universitiesý, Schools& Hospitals), as, partners in transfer payments lrom thc province will ail share in the down sizing of- govcrrnmcnt. We must cul spcnding by some $5 billion over the next threycars. Our partncrs will eacb- scream, it is the province, but iet's face the facts that we are spending $1 million dollars eacb and every bour more than we take in as revenue or taxes. We must choose ta either reduce spendiiuig or increase taxes. 1 hav-e heard fram mast of yau, no mare taxes". This week, Bill 15, the reform aof the WCB.
