Seems to be a reasonable approach trying to minimize the deficit to $1.2 billion by freezing public sector wages..... unlike Alberta which is expected to budget another deficit around $10.4 billion by NOT bringing their overpaid public sector in line with the economic reality and not seeing a balanced budget until the NDP are turfed next election.

Wall's popularity won't be tarnished that much as most outside the public sector understand the economic reality and agree with his position.
