 What is good for rural British Columbia is good for all of British Columbia. This is where the bulk of our wealth comes from and we need to make sure we are investing in people and getting to yes on projects that will allow communities like this one to thrive and in turn places like Vancouver, Victoria, Kelowna to thrive as well because we depend on you so much for the work that you do. So that's why I asked Donna Barnett to come up with a rural economic development strategy. The strategy is going to create jobs in the short term and the strategy is going to build, strengthen and diversify our economy over the longer term as well. Across the province the investments that we're making in this rural development plan are expected to support up to 26,600 direct and indirect jobs, stimulus and support for working people in rural communities that is badly needed while we weather the economic storms and uncertainty that we see all around the world. It builds on the 3.6 billion dollars the province has invested in rural BC over the last year and 26,000 jobs is really just the beginning.
