Girard has also said the government wants to ensure stability at a time when there is uncertainty about a range of issues including trade with the U.S. and the war in the Middle East.
Business and labour groups have urged the government to invest more in the local economy as well as in areas such as education, health care and transit.
Girard said in his last fiscal update in November that the province was projected to have a deficit of $12.4 billion.
