Doerkson Says B.C. Conservative Growth Projection of 3.2% 'Absolutely Doable'
Doerkson says the party’s 3.2% growth target by 2029 is realistic and backs a platform that projects $2.6 billion in new revenue.
- On Monday, British Columbia interim Conservative leader Lorne Doerkson defended his party's 3.2 per cent economic growth projection, calling the figure 'absolutely doable' during a campaign stop in Maple Ridge.
- The Conservative platform promises to shrink the provincial deficit to $10.8 billion, with the party's growth forecast sitting more than 50 per cent higher than the New Democrats' last provincial budget.
- Doerkson stated that industries including forestry, mining, and agriculture are waiting for a government change due to 'fear' under the previous NDP regime, stalling local investment.
- NDP Leader David Eby slammed the Conservatives for 'torquing the numbers,' noting the party failed to cost a $300 million provincial sales tax cut on alcohol.
- Voters in British Columbia head to the polls this Saturday, October 24, as the campaign concludes following intense disputes over economic projections and platform funding.
