Oil price plunge leaves alberta $6.5B poorer
EDMONTON - Plummeting oil prices have slashed $6.5 billion from what was expected to be a near-record breaking Alberta surplus.
The province still expects a $2-billion surplus, mostly because of summer oil prices that surged to $147 US per barrel.
In its last budget, the government had predicted a $1.6-billion surplus.
