Re:B.C. will run deficit in 2009: finance minister
...... "Campbell said his government would recall the legislature early next week to table a bill that would suspend current legislation that requires the Liberal government to present a balanced budget on Feb. 17.
Maureen Bader of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation said the Liberals should have done more.
"We have a balanced budget law so that when the going gets tough, the governments — these politicians — can actually stand up and say, 'No, we need to make the tough decision to keep this budget balanced,' " Bader said. "But instead of making the tough decisions, we've got a premier and finance minister who are just rolling over."
