B.C. will incur a record $10.9 billion operating budget deficit in 2025-26 , with massive deficits over the next three fiscal years .

Finance Minister Brenda Bailey said tariffs from the U.S. changed the province's financial position, but the Eby government can't blame it for its fiscal disaster.

Once long-term spending is factored in, total projected provincial debt increased by more than $43.6 billion over just two fiscal years , says Tegan Hill .
