B.C. United is promising to improve the provincial economy by cutting taxes, balancing the budget and opening up B.C. for investment — all at the same time. The first pillar calls for what Falcon describes as"dramatic, significant reductions in the tax burdens for British Columbians" to help them"thrive" rather than"just survive" in the province.
"We are going to make sure that this incompetence ends and that we utilize the saved dollars to ensure that we provide the tax relief that we are going to make sure British Columbians get," he said."I'm going to be relentless about this. We are going to make sure that young people have hope in British Columbia again."
Conroy's statement also echoed comments from Premier David Eby, who has repeatedly tried to diminish any difference between Falcon and his B.C. Conservative rival John Rustad. “People expect us to support them during tough times," she said."Unlike Kevin Falcon and John Rustad, David Eby will not cut services or raise taxes and fees on ordinary British Columbians.”
"It's a thriving, growing private sector that actually generates the net new revenues for the province to fund the critical services that British Columbians need and rely upon like health care and education and other services," Stone said.
