 Across all these fronts, British Columbia is making strong progress, always understanding there is more to do. Fiscal responsibility and a growing economy is the foundation that gives British Columbia the ability to do more and to be caring from strength. After years of sacrifice by all of us in British Columbia, through challenging times, working together with a plan, your government is now in a position to pay you back, to relieve some financial burdens and to invest in your household and in your families.
