B.C. government’s recent throne speech acknowledges projected $5.7 billion surplus from last year’s budget won’t be there, but pledges new investments in health care, housing

British Columbia’s New Democrat government has been tackling some of the province’s fundamental deficits in recent months by spending billions in surplus dollars, says Premier David Eby.

Eby, sworn in late last year to replace former premier John Horgan, said the budget introduced by Finance Minister Katrine Conroy will put people first. “Our government believes that there are other deficits other than just fiscal when we are talking about the future of the province.” Opposition Liberal Leader Kevin Falcon said the government is spending too much money in too many areas. He said he’s expecting that to continue in the new budget without strategic overview or focus on results.
