Governments have a habit of blaming their predecessors for leaving a financial mess when they can’t carry through with promises made during the heat of an election campaign.
Provincial Finance Minister Roger Melanson is blaming what he calls incomplete financial information from the Conservatives when they were in charge.
Former provincial Finance Minister Blaine Higgs says the Liberals created this problem for themselves by promising too much during the election campaign.
Higgs says when he was finance minister, there were quarterly reports released on the government’s finances and they were accurate.
