Albertans will soon find out what shape the province’s books are in.
Finance Minister Joe Ceci is releasing a first quarter update early Wednesday afternoon.
Back in March, the province forecasted a $10.3-billion deficit for the 2017-2018 year.
That’s down slightly from last year’s $10.8-billion shortfall.
Overall, Alberta is carrying more than $30-billion of debt.
