 In centres like Vancouver, Surrey, Victoria and Kelowna, BC's tech sector is vibrant. Last year, tech contributed 14.1 billion to our economy. More than 9,900 companies were created, more than 100,000 jobs, with wages 75% higher than average. In five years, your government has supported tech through the BC tech strategy, including a hundred million tech fund, and worked with BC's teachers to introduce the basics of coding to all students in the sixth grade. Your government recently established a new provincial innovation network with UBC President Santa Ona as Chief Advisor. With this spring, Vancouver will once again welcome people from all over the world for the second annual BC Tech Summit. We will welcome them to call BC their home, a place to invest and create jobs for British Columbians.
