It’s
back to work today at the legislature in Victoria; today begins the 4th session of the 39th Parliament. The first session of the 39th Parliament
began on August 25th, 2009 , over two years ago, with a Speech from the Throne by Lieutenant
Governor, the Honourable Stephen L. Point.
Here are a few points from that throne speech:
 |
Former BC Premier
Gordon Campbell |
As British Columbia endures its worst recession
in 27 years, many are worried about their economic future. Families worry about
their prospects. Government shares their concerns. It will dedicate its efforts
to improving B.C. families' prospects and economic circumstances. It will not
happen overnight and it will not be easy, but government will work tirelessly,
so B.C. comes out of this economic maelstrom stronger. The pace, depth and scope of the economic
crisis surpassed expectations.
The
BC Liberal government of the day, led by then Premier Gordon Campbell, knew
full well the economy of the province was not on its best footing, still the
BC Liberals have continued to increase debt and deficit --- WHY???
The government committed to work to make B.C.
more competitive, reduce barriers to the economy and protect core public
services.
Remember
now, this is from a speech given two years ago.
But, does anyone recall part of Christy Clarks big job growth announcement
from a couple weeks ago?? I’m pretty sure I recall that she just
re-announced the very same thing --- WHY???
