B.C. is anticipating its new budget at approximately 3 p.m. today. when Finance Minister Kevin Falcon is slated to deliver his budget speech to the legislature.
According to media reports, Falcon is promising a fiscally disciplined budget that will pave the way toward a more balanced budget in the 2013-14 financial year.
Business in Vancouver will be issuing a special newsletter with highlights of B.C.’s new budget later this afternoon.
In the run up to the budget, Business in Vancouver heard budget priorities from the energy and mining industries. (See “B.C.
