BC Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Jen Riley released the following statement in response to B.C. Budget 2026:
“Today’s budget offers little in the way of the needed economic incentives, programs, or policy shifts required to kick-start our economy, and which we have been advocating for, to grow the economy and generate prosperity for British Columbian citizens and businesses,” said Riley.
“Particularly alarming is the increase in the deficit to $13.3 billion next fiscal year, once again a record amount. The total provincial debt is going to rise from $154 billion to $235 billion by the end of the three-year fiscal plan.”
