We are sitting pretty. Back in black come next budget.

Brad Wall did all you folks in Sask a really big solid

Per capita debt is what is being talked about.

I understand.

When you drill down into the numbers, however, a jurisdiction with a high population can benefit from scales of economy and more efficient use of the capital per person and relative to the physical area.

Ontario and Que, having the largest pops should have the largest CapEx but the most efficient use of capital (in a perfect world) thereby resulting in a debt per capita # that isn't as outrageous as we see it in reality

Who woulda thought fiscal restraint would put you into a better position when the tide turns for the better :)

Sask. has the 2nd lowest debt in the country only behind PEI, but the lowest debt per capita in the country :)
