Students present Generation X budget
Saskatoon SK, March 31, 1997 -- Students from the College of
Commerce will present their annual alternative to the provincial
government at a Chamber of Commerce luncheon Wednesday
April 2 at the Parktown Hotel.
The budget exercise is part of a class taught by Professor Marv
Painter where students are assigned cabinet roles and charged
with creating what they believe is the smartest budget for the
province.
The student submission is often different from the budget tabled by
the provincial finance minister and Professor Painter says this year
will be no different. This speech is very much a Generation X
budget, he said. As opposed to the Baby Boomer budget tabled
by Janice MacKinnon.
Liberal leader Jim Melenchuk will give his response immediately
following the students' speech.
