I haven't looked at the numbers. I've only read the CBC article. Take my thoughts for what you will.

I tend to prefer smaller government. I have no problem with cuts when I hear that employee costs are over half of what the provincial budget goes towards.

I prefer government to be run like a smart corporation: only employing the people that it needs to operate.

It remains to be seen whether these cuts are good. It remains to be seen whether the right people were cut, whether the right number of people were cut, or whether the cuts will cut back as hoped.

But initially, no, I have no issues with the cuts if we are operating beyond our means.

EDIT: I worry about the education cuts.
