Business Council of B.C. CEO Laura Jones said the budget, unveiled Tuesday , was a missed chance to address some of the long-standing challenges that the province has had drawing companies to the province.

She said the one positive is that Premier David Eby is saying a lot of the right things when it comes to eliminating interprovincial trade barriers.

Rustad renewed his call for a Canada -wide free trade agreement based on Nova Scotia’s mutual recognition bill.

“We could be a powerhouse, and we’ve allowed ourselves to be vulnerable because of failed governments, both provincially and federally, and to me, that has to be what changes.”.
