B.C. business leader calls for tax cuts, sped-up permitting, with the economy the priority

The head of the British Columbia Chamber of Commerce is calling for tax cuts and steps to speed up permitting.

"Without a strong economy,"affordability will remain unachievable for British Columbians," it reads. "Overall, B.C.’s fiscal and economic trajectory is deeply concerning. As you shape the next government and plan your work in the upcoming legislative sessions, we urge you to give serious consideration to the state of B.C.’s economy.""But I can tell you the types of taxes that could be cut," she said.

"Let's unleash the natural resource sector in all its forms, whether it's natural gas, whether it's mining extraction, whether it's forestry, whether it's agriculture and agri-food. We have a plethora of natural resources that the world needs. Let's expedite the permitting that holds up certain operations, so that they are able to operate, so that they are able to create good paying jobs, engage the supply chain, address some of the affordability issues.

In other words, the B.C. NDP might not find much support from the B.C. Greens for an agenda around natural resources as proposed by the chamber. "I'm not going to comment on the value, but I will comment on the nature of that break," Famulak said."They are looking for long-term strategies, because they are not concerned only about themselves. They are concerned about the younger generations to follow."
