EDMONTON – A first-quarter fiscal update from the Alberta government is reporting consistent revenues compared with the same period last year.

The province says it brought in $13.4 billion from April to June almost identical to the number in 2018.

It says resource revenue was $164 million higher, mainly from a narrower oil price differential.

Income tax revenue was also up due to growth in household income and corporate profits.
