Alberta announced a projected $4.6-billion budget surplus for fiscal year 2024-25 .

But the Smith government warned Albertans a budget deficit could be looming, says Tegan Hill .

In the last 10 years , resource revenue has ranged from a low of $3.4 billion in 2015-16 to a high of $26.1 billion in 2022-23 .

Inflation-adjusted resource revenue is projected to be relatively high in historical terms this fiscal year at $19.8 billion .

To avoid this fate, the Alberta government must do more to rein in spending.
