Finally we also see a major effort to bring back reliable electricity to the provinces.

Remember the government is no longer going to provide FREE electricity. The people and businesses will have to pay for it going forward (as a tax).
You see what they are doing is finding ways of new revenues but attempting to cycle back to the government (in the form of additional creative ways of revenues) some of this money the citizens are about to get from the HCL royalty payments once the price of oil goes back up. This was done by recommendations by the IMF and other financial experts.
