    Joyce says no one can keep piling up debt and this will become a big concern in the future.

    Bay of Islands MHA Eddie Joyce says he can see that the deficit has gone up by the amount of spending that was not committed in the  budget. Yesterday, Finance Minister Siobhan Coady provided a fall fiscal update with a higher net debt and deficit. Joyce says he's not the only one who is concerned about this and the Auditor general has announced her concern. Joyce says no one can keep piling up debt and this will become a big concern in the future. Joyce is headed across the province as the House of Assembly is set to open on Monday.
