A lot of figures are being tossed around amid a lot of confusion ... obviously the figures are a matter of public record. Are they published in the local media ... I would presume the Observer? Are members of the public allowed to sit in and listen while the budget is debated?

Just today in the local rag, they published the figures for the Ontario budget showing how the $96.9 billion in revenue is collected and how the $96.2 billion in expenses will be spent. For example, the govt. will collect $25.2 billion in personal income tax $17.2 billion in sales tax, and will spend $40.4 billion on health care (are you listening Barb?)

I can't understand the confusion over the figures ... is someone trying to hide something or am I just a confused colonial?
