The rules of the global economy are shifting, and B.C. is not standing still as they evolve. We have the resources, a skilled workforce and strong trading relationships, and we are well-positioned to compete. We have everything we need to be an economic powerhouse.
Our focus is on protecting what British Columbians have built by making careful choices, while positioning the province for future success.
We must protect core public services that people rely on every day, like health care and education. And we know costs are high for people and their families. We’re committed to doing our part by keeping B.C. one of the lowest-taxed provinces for working families while reviewing government spending to make the best use of public dollars.
Fiscal sustainability is a top priority. We are taking action to reduce the deficit responsibly, over time, by reviewing spending and reducing the size of the public service.
We’re building B.C.’s position as the economic engine of a stronger, more self-reliant Canada, and moving forward with major projects that put people to work, raise revenues and support strong communities.
B.C. and the whole world are facing continued uncertainty. We’re making careful choices to protect what matters most and to secure B.C.’s future.
The 2027 Budget consultation is an important opportunity for people across British Columbia to share their ideas and help shape B.C.’s path forward.
The Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services is one of eleven permanent parliamentary committees of the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia. Each year, the committee holds province-wide consultations to seek the views of British Columbians on priorities for the next provincial budget and presents a final report with recommendations to the Legislative Assembly.
