Together, we\u2019ve made incredible progress \u2013 and the work goes on. Budget 2020, delivered by Carole James on Tuesday, outlines our plan to keep BC moving forward, with new hospitals, schools, and child care centres, and better, more affordable services in every community.<\/p>\n

This includes continued funding for construction projects that are creating 100,000 jobs, as well as an extra $1 billion allocated to healthcare \u2013 and we\u2019re balancing the budget by asking the top 1% to pay a little more! We\u2019re proving a government focused on people can build a stronger BC that works for everyone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Making life more affordable is always a top priority for your BC NDP government. As part of this, we\u2019re making big changes at ICBC \u2013 removing expensive legal fees from the system to reduce rates by 20% and save you an average of $400.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no secret that the BC Liberals left a big mess at ICBC \u2013 Attorney General David Eby called it \u201ca financial dumpster fire\u201d. Now, Andrew Wilkinson is fighting our changes and supporting personal injury lawyers. Think he should support lower ICBC rates instead? Add your name today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

We\u2019re investing in transportation infrastructure to help people get where they need to go \u2013 and we\u2019re creating good jobs in the process. Continuing this important work, John Horgan has announced a replacement for the Pattullo Bridge.<\/p>\n

This will provide a much-needed upgrade to a busy transportation link essential to many people in Surrey and across the Lower Mainland. The new bridge, with smoother connections and improved safety standards, will solve one of the region\u2019s biggest transportation problems.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
