Premier David Eby's government has been spending what was projected as an almost $6-billion surplus from last year's budget on pressing issues like disaster mitigation, addiction treatment and cost-of-living supports.
Conroy made her comments today at an elementary school where she served meat loaf, salad and desserts to students in grades 1 and 5 as part of a government-funded meal program. She says her budget will continue to support programs that help families, with a focus on health care, public safety and housing.
Conroy, who represents a Kootenay-area riding, says the budget will not forget rural B.C., although she didn't elaborate. While the tradition for finance ministers is to buy a new pair of shoes to wear when presenting the budget, Conroy says she's a frugal person and has decided to polish an old pair of shoes to wear instead.
Anyone with grey matter can see that. We are already in a recession and the depression is incoming.
