BC’s Deficit Looks Better But Not Really | Vancouver News
Description
British Columbia’s finance minister claims last year’s deficit was smaller than feared—$7.7 billion instead of $10.9 billion—thanks largely to a $2.6 billion one-time tobacco settlement. While tax hikes and spending cuts helped, critics warn this windfall can’t fix deeper fiscal problems. Infrastructure delays and cancellations continue to frustrate residents, and the forecast for this year still shows a massive shortfall. Relying on luck, not planning, won’t save the province’s finances.
