Unpaid days off, wage freezes or just continuing a deficit among ideas being debated
The Political Panel, CBC Radio's Morning Edition host Stefani Langenegger and Leader-Post columnist Murray Mandryk, this week weighed in on some of the ideas being floated to deal with the billion-dollar deficit.
Unpaid days off for the public sector, amalgamating school boards and wage freezes are some of ideas being considered.
Another possibility: continuing with the deficit until the economy improves.
The panel takes a close look at some of these scenarios.
