Sep 3, 2019 | 8:37 AM

EDMONTON- Findings from a panel tasked by the Kenney government to come up with options for helping the province emerge from its deficit are scheduled to be released today.

A news conference is planned for 11 a.m. at Calgary’s McDougall Centre, where Finance Minister Travis Toews and the chair of the panel, former Saskatchewan finance minister Janice McKinnon, are expected to address reporters.

Toews told a news conference last week the province brought in $13.4 billion from April to June, a figure that was nearly identical to the numbers for the same time frame last year.

The panel’s recommendations are expected to help guide the UCP’s first budget, which is expected to be delivered this fall.
