Throne Speech

British Columbia's minority New Democrat government released an ambitious list of affordability-focused pledges in its throne speech on Friday, Sept. 8, 2017.

British Columbia's New Democrats are expected to use this week's throne speech to broadly outline how they intend to follow through on their key election promise to get big money out of politics.

Speech reiterated Trudeau's pledge to cut the tax rate for middle-income earners and provide a more generous child benefit - paid for by tax hikes on the wealthiest one per cent.

Insiders say the speech, to be read by Gov. Gen. David Johnston on Friday, will be little more than a list of the new Liberal government's immediate priorities.
