Providing
quality and affordable health care … education … and social programs, for all British
Columbians, must be one of the top priorities of government.
For that to happen, I also believe that government needs to provide us with the opportunity to have real input
into the planning and implementation of programs and services.
Further
… for government to have the money we need for these programs and services, it must
reduce its debt, so we can stop paying millions of dollars, each and every day, just
to make the interest payments.
Paying
nearly $7 million dollars a day just in interest payments is bad business!
Plain
and simple, this is a waste of the financial resources we have entrusted to the
government. What we need is a smaller,
less intrusive, government that lives within its means.
It is
apparent to almost everyone, that our current provincial government is indeed living
way beyond its means.
Every
new dollar government borrows increases our debt … adds to interest payment to service
the debt … and means less money available for education, health care, social
services, and other needs of the people of BC.
