The NDP has released its platform for the upcoming provincial election. David Eby is pledging to cut taxes for the middle class, open the door to homes people can afford, and make sure everyone gets good quality health care when and where they need it.

“Our plan is built to tackle the biggest challenges you and your family are facing–from the cost of living and housing to strengthening your health care. John Rustad’s plan delays relief until 2029, and then gives more to owners of penthouses than everyday British Columbians.”

The platform includes a $1,000 boost for household budgets with a middle-class tax cut, each  year; the crackdown on speculators and helping create 300,000 more homes for the middle-class; and the hiring of more healthcare workers ‘than ever before’ and creating a second medical school to train the next generation of doctors.

Election day is October 19th.
