About the Throne Speech
By Bill Bennett
Kootenay East MLA
1. As a result of the hard work of British Columbians, and government’s clear, consistent plan, B.C. has moved from being last in job growth, and employment during the 1990s to being first in job growth, and having the lowest unemployment rate anywhere in Canada.
2. We support B.C.’s resource dependent communities. That’s why government has worked to open several new mines since 2011, and has placed a strong focus on renewing the softwood lumber agreement, because we know how important it is to create good-paying JOBS that sustain families.
3. With B.C. leading Canada in economic growth, a fifth balanced budget on the way, and more people working than ever before – government has more flexibility to take action to ensure taxpayers can keep more of their hard-earned money.
