Question: What do you or your party plan to do to improve the economy in Northeast B.C.?

Mike Bernier

First we will be eliminating the PST to 0% for one year and 3% the year after to help spark the economy and help companies and families keep more of their money. We will also be putting a focus through policies on making sure our Oil and Gas, Forestry, Mining and Agriculture industries are able to continue growing, supporting jobs and helping build our communities. We also need to stand up to illegal protesters who are trying to shut down our back country and bring confidence back for our industries that they are welcome here in BC.
