"B.C.’s economy is visibly sputtering. To revive investment and private sector job creation and put the economy on a stronger footing, a recalibration of all CleanBC Roadmap measures is required. On policies affecting the land-base, the government should slow the pace of change and commit to greater openness along with more deliberative decision-making that brings all stakeholders together. Finally, in the post-election context, the B.C. government needs to turn its attention to policy adjustments that reduce business operating costs and help to foster a more hospitable investment climate in the province."![]()
