Albertans are waiting to see how the government will manage the province's finances after a lucrative year fuelled by high energy prices.

In its mid-year forecast, the province said it expects to finish the fiscal year, which concludes at the end of March, with a surplus of $12.3 billion, despite already doling out some costly affordability measures to the tune of $2.8 billion.
