Where the leaders head Saturday
Ches Crosbie s Progressive Conservative party is pledging a path to balance but no actual balanced budget for at least four years.
The party s blue book platform, revealed Friday in St. John s, says a PC government wouldn t present a balanced provincial budget until a hypothetical second term. The overwhelming focus has to be on jobs and growth, Crosbie told reporters in St. John s. The other half of that, doing something about our expenditure problem. And I ve told you that I agree something needs to be done. I made a few remarks as to how we re going to do that. But the focus has to be on generating the wealth, generating the jobs that will keep people here, that will unlock the potential of this province.

Where the leaders are today, tomorrow
Andrew Furey promised Thursday there s no frightening budget coming should he and his Liberal Party win the upcoming election, as he defended yet again the still-to-be seen Moya Greene report.
The Liberal leader was forced to the defensive Thursday in St. John s as he took questions from reporters, who quizzed him on how he plans to address the province s fiscal situation, and what role the Greene report will play in those moves. There is no simple solution to this, he said. There s not going to be an incredibly blunt and frightful budget that shocks everybody into their basements. That s not going to happen.
