The Liberal government will re-introduce the budget shelved when Premier Stephen McNeil called the May 30th election.
The $10.5-billion budget introduced April 27 included a tax cut for about 500,000 low and middle income earners by increasing the basic personal exemption by up to $3,000 for taxable income up to $75,000.
It also featured a second consecutive operating surplus.
McNeil has said it will contain all the measures in the original budget, along with a few additions.
Health care was an issue that was largely seen to have contributed to the Liberals’ loss of seven seats in the spring vote, which nonetheless returned them to power with the province’s first back-to-back majority in nearly 30 years.
