Tory ‘blue book’ will cost $254M, but Ches Crosbie says he can deliver | CBC News
The so-called PC blue book, built on the pledge to create jobs and hope, an affordable future and honest leadership, offers a list of promises that will cost $254 million annually once implemented, but Crosbie says the plan is affordable.
“If Mr. Crosbie wants to use the Atlantic Accord money to spend, instead of reducing the amount we need to borrow, then that means tomorrow we need to spend even more money, because you need to pay that debt back,” he said. “If you borrow a dollar, you got to pay back a dollar plus interest.”
According to their election platform, the Ball government plan to borrow about $1.2 billion in the 2019-2020 fiscal year.
