The B.C. government says it is already planning ‘historic’ new spending levels on the public health care system
The British Columbia government expects its finances to take a downturn in the coming year but it will not slow down on new spending, it says in a new Speech from the Throne.
“Economists are predicting a global slow down. Because we are a province that thrives on export and international relationships, this year’s surplus won’t be there next year,” the Throne Speech says. To address the toxic drug crises, the government is promising to develop a new model of addictions care, “one that moves people seamlessly from detox to treatment and fills the gaps between services where people might relapse and fall through the cracks.”
The agenda includes tougher regulations to try to get polluters to pay the cost of environmental cleanup on abandoned sites, legislation to crack down on gangs and money laundering, and a measure to outlaw malicious and exploitative non-consensual sharing of intimate images.
