The article discusses Alberta's upcoming Budget, which is expected to be overflowing with Surplus petrodollars. This surplus money could be used to pay down the province's debt, fund various government programs, or be used to provide financial assistance to citizens. Travis Toews, the finance minister for the province, has previously highlighted multibillion-dollar surpluses due to rebounding oil and gas revenues. If the benchmark West Texas Intermediate oil price stays robust at US$80 barrel in the coming years, the province could once again, by decade's end, eradicate its $80-billion taxpayer-supported debt. Danielle Smith's United Conservative Party government has already announced and begun implementing a $2.8 billion program of direct payments and tax cuts to help Albertans deal with inflation.
