BC Liberals vow broad cuts in throne speech
In Victoria the Liberal government warned of deficit driven costs and mandatory spending cuts across health, education and Crown agencies. Premier Campbell said line-by-line reviews may reshape BC Ferries TransLink and other bodies while targeting non essential services to protect patients students and families. The throne speech defended the harmonized sales tax and outlined substantial tax funded reforms amid a 27 year economic downturn. Carole James criticised the plan as insufficient and distracting from HST pressures.
