#49 - BC's expert COVID review, minimum wage and daylight saving time
Published 4 years, 2 months ago
Description
BC has hired an expert panel to review how it did on COVID-19, but what does it accomplish when public health decisions and economic aid programs are excluded from the scope? Does BC even want to review those areas, and should it? Also, the province's minimum wage goes up and is now linked to inflation, the right move or another blow to businesses still recovering from the pandemic? Plus, the US senate has passed a bill that could end daylight saving time by 2023 - will BC follow suit and should it act on its own if the US house of representatives subsequently kills the idea before it becomes law? Host Rob Shaw is joined by Jeff Ferrier, Maclean Kay and Jillian Oliver.
