The business council is committed to working with the new government to identify opportunities and policies that will enable a strong economy that supports British Columbians’ well-being and advances our collective prosperity.
Streamlining regulation, enabling B.C.’s export industries to thrive, improving government processes through the adoption of technology, modernizing the tax system, expanding child care, investing in rapid re-skilling, establishing innovation precincts, leveraging the province’s low-carbon advantage and creating an Indigenous Economic Development Centre of Excellence are among the suggestions we have made to the government.
We trust in the doctors, medical professionals and public health officials to guide us through this pandemic. But future generations depend on all of us, including business, government and Indigenous leaders, to work together to build a stronger tomorrow, starting today that sets us on a path to a private-sector-led, job rich recovery. Now is the time to act with purpose together.
Greg D’Avignon is president and CEO of the Business Council of B.C.
