B.C. Begins Voting without Conservatives’ Costed Platform, Doerkson Calls It Imminent
The New Democrats and Greens have released costed plans as the Conservatives face questions over $5 billion in promises and possible spending cuts.
- British Columbians have started voting without a costed platform from the B.C. Conservatives, though Leader Lorne Doerkson said the document will be released "imminently."
- Doerkson explained the delay by citing a $14 billion deficit, stating he wants platform numbers accurate and refuses to promise anything the party "can't make happen."
- At a campaign stop in Port Moody, Doerkson reiterated plans to build a Surrey hospital, replace the Massey Tunnel, and cut income taxes by up to $1,000 for working British Columbians.
- NDP Leader David Eby criticized the missing platform, alleging the Conservatives made an estimated $5 billion in promises while planning to cut public services to pay for them.
- Advance polls remain open through next Wednesday before the October 24 election, while the Green Party and New Democrats have already released their costed platforms.
