Finance minister, Katrine Conroy.

The province has announced details for this year's provincial budget consultation.

“Over the last two years, British Columbians have faced extraordinary challenges, from the ongoing health crises of the COVID-19 pandemic and poisoned drug supply to powerful climate disasters that saw communities devastated by wildfires, floods and mudslides.”, said Minister of Finance, Selina Robinson.

“Government acted quickly to get people through the turmoil safely together and protect lives and livelihoods. We adapted quickly to the changing needs of people, businesses, and communities by ensuring targeted supports were available to those who needed it most. We’re not through it yet, but we’re making progress together.”

The Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services, a parliamentary committee of the legislative assembly, will hold several public meetings to hear from British Columbians about their priorities for the next provincial budget.

The meetings are anticipated to take place in late May and June and will be a mix of in-person and virtual meetings, with an in-person meeting in Campbell River on the list.
