Reinstatement of Northern Tax Benefit in Northern BC
Alan Timberlake and Brian Gardiner pledge full reinstatement of the Northern Allowance to 1988 levels by 1996 for northern B C communities. They cite recruitment, health, education, and policing needs, noting Mackenzie could lose $2,200 annually as the program phases out. The plan targets Prince George-Peace River and related areas amid opposition from Reform Party.
