Abortion, Euthanasia & Alternatives

Abortion
The party states that:

– while currently, abortions are performed by BC health care professionals both within provincially-operated facilities and private clinics, it believes that abortions (the killing of tiny human beings) do not qualify as “health care”, nor that BC taxpayers, many of whom are conscientiously opposed to abortion, should be forced to pay for them
– it also believes that the money spent on abortions in BC could be better spent on pregnancy care and support for new mothers. Many studies indicate negative health impacts for women who undergo abortions, including suicide, depression, birthing complications and a higher incidence of breast cancers.
– therefor the party advocates removing abortion from the list of taxpayer-funded surgical procedures
– the party further believes that BC taxpayers should not be forced to pay for any surgeries that are not medically necessary. (Abortion is an elective surgery and is not medically necessary).
– it advocates restoring the access to statistical information about abortions performed in all BC hospitals and private clinics, including making it mandatory to document all medical procedures in BC. This information must be available to the public through Freedom of Information requests.
– repealing provincial “Bubble Zone” legislation (Access to Abortion Services ACT of 1995) and restoring freedom of speech in BC.

Socially-Assisted Death (SAD, or “MAiD”)
The party advocates defending senior citizens and those with disabilities from attempts to institute euthanasia and assisted suicide in the province of BC.

Human Engineering
The party states that:

– BC taxpayers should not be forced to pay for any surgeries that are not medically necessary.

The party’s constitution states that its founding principles include:
-individual liberty: Recognizing the inherent value of every person, upholding their fundamental rights to life, liberty and freedom of expression.
-social responsibility: Providing a strong safety net for the vulnerable while encouraging self-sufficiency.
 

Abortion, Euthanasia & Alternatives

The party’s 2025 Policy Declaration advocates:
-recognizing the right of healthcare providers (including long-term care and hospice service providers) to operate in accordance with their objectives, mandates, and by laws, and preventing other Acts and legislation to usurp their rights to opt out of euthanasia and MAiD activities.
-not funding any program that deliberately hastens the death of any persons with mental illness
-barring health care providers from over-riding, compelling, dissuading, provoking patients into changing decisions regarding matters of conscience

The party has published no further statement concerning its policies relating to:
• Gender modification, gene manipulation, or other forms of human engineering

Abortion, Euthanasia & Alternatives 

The party’s “Action Plan for You” (September 2026) states that in order to provide better care for individuals and families, it advocates hiring more doctors and nurses and completing more surgeries, including:
-defending and expanding access to reproductive health services, including expanding midwives’ scope of practice to include IUD insertion, prescribing Mifegymiso for early medical abortions, and other services.

The party’s 2026 budget 2026 provides continued funding implemented in Budget 2025 of $34 million annually to continue equitable and affordable access to in vitro fertilization (IVF). The continuation of this program will allow approximately 1,800 families annually to receive up to $19,000 towards a single standard cycle of IVF treatment at participating B.C. fertility clinics.

Energy & Resources

Alberta-BC Oil Pipeline
In an online policy statement dated October, 2026, the party advocates fast-tracking the proposed Alberta-BC oil pipeline and committing to an additional $60 million investment in skilled trades training to support job creation and expand opportunities for British Columbians.
 

Sustainable Development

In a policy statement published online 16 February 2026, the party advocates building a balanced and sustainable economy, championing existing industries and businesses, small and large, while fostering innovation to secure good jobs, along with modernizing the provincial education system to prepare youth for the future.
 

The party has published no current statement concerning its polices regarding:
-climate change
-species, diversity, or wildlife

Climate Change 

The party states that:
– climate is subject to change due to many factors, including natural causes
– it does not believe that CO2 is the primary cause of climate change nor does it subscribe to climate alarmism with frantic and expensive efforts to eliminate the use of carbon-based fuels
– it advocates responsible and cost-effective research into potential alternative energy sources while allowing the ongoing use, development and transportation of reliable and time-tested energy sources such as— but not limited to—oil, wood, natural gas and coal
– it is concerned about the release of man-made chemical emissions into BC’s beautiful blue skies under Weather Modification efforts. A Christian Heritage Party of BC Government will defend the right of BC residents to have no chemical additives deliberately released into BC skies by any government agency or private corporation.  It will renew environmental monitoring and protection of BC’s air and skies from unwanted deliberate emissions.
 

Energy & Resources; Sustainable Development

The party advocates:
– expanding hydroelectric power, especially environmentally-friendly run-of-river projects, opening up the mining industry and rejuvenating the forest industry by reducing bureaucratic red tape and moving to a market based system that is open to all operators including small businesses
– encouraging the use of methanol in gasoline sold within the province
– encouraging construction of plants to convert wood fibre and other products to clean petroleum
– encouraging the Forest Industry to harvest pine beetle infested trees and reseed the harvested area as soon as possible. This will salvage the trees that would otherwise go to waste and will create jobs in the Forest Industry. Timber that cannot be used for lumber or pulp will be turned into liquid bio-fuel
– active promotion of the creation of energy via alternate methods, including wind power, tidal power, solar power and hydrogen power, including the production of hydrogen and bio-fuel from bio-waste such as effluents, junk fish, dead trees and agricultural waste materials
– actively encouraging the building of a bridge from the Mainland to Vancouver Island that incorporates tidal power generators into the structure and generates enough tidal power to pay the capital construction cost and maintenance cost of the bridge over a reasonable time
– amending the Mineral Tenure Act to prohibit unauthorized access to private property for mineral exploration
– reducing the regulation and red tape that prevents more resource-based industries from opening in British Columbia
– promoting the long term generation of electricity by using;
1 – existing hydro electric generating facilities
2 – in-stream turbines
3 – wind generators where practical and deemed to be safe
4 – bio-generation methods to make use of our wastes and effluents
5 – off shore wave generation (using the likes of Pelamis machines)
6 – direct hydrogen generation (using standing, contained effluents)
7 – solar energy
8 – thermal energy
9 – nuclear energy but not until viable waste-disposal solutions have been found; promoting research into the promising Thorium Reactor which appears to be cleaner, safer and to have a more readily-available supply of mineral fuel
10 – geothermal power generation and heat exchange technology; and in addition, any new technology that is developed will be investigated and assessed

In the interim, the party advocates:
1- expanding and improving mass transit facilities where economically feasible
2- facilitating commercial traffic flow and possibly rewarding its use during off-peak hours
3- providing tax credits for research in clean burning fuels for commercial transportation
4- encouraging the use of electric / hydrogen powered vehicles
5- encouraging hydrogen containment and generation technology development in BC
6 – embarking on a major education program aimed at conserving energy

Species, Diversity & Wildlife

The party’s 2025 Policy Declaration advocates:
-in order to provide the guaranteed access to public lands and wild areas that BC residents deserve, including hunting and fishing rights, ensuring transparency and inclusivity by ensuring that Indigenous peoples and other stakeholders, including hunters, fishers, environmentalists, and conservationists, are actively involved in planning and shaping wildlife management practices; and that science-based decisions are supported, in preference to ideological meddling.
-dedicating revenue from tags and fees to wildlife management and enhancement, especially by third parties
-clearly designating areas of forsts that will be protected in perpetuity in order to protect biodiversity
-involving hunters in relevant data collection activities
-increased funding for conservation officers, in order to expand enforcement and protection for wildlife
-ensuring that wildlife protection measures are formulated in BC, not Ottawa
-promoting health among seniors and youth through hunting and fishing

Energy & Resources; Sustainable Development

The party’s 2025 Policy Declaration acknowledges the government’s responsibility to facilitate proper stewardship of both renewable and non-renewable resources, and advocates:
-balancing responsible environmental and tax policies to encourage those activities best able to thrive and prosper in the diverse regions of the province.

Global Energy Superpower
In an online policy statement dated 5 October 2026, the party states that British Columbians, like people around the world, are feeling the effects of global crises, from the war in Ukraine to the blockage of the Strait of Hormuz to shifting American priorities and hostility from the Trump administration. The world is demanding reliable suppliers of the most important inputs, and that is BC’s opportunity to become an energy superpower. BC has the resources, workers and strategic location to become a global energy leader. To that end, the party advocates doubling natural gas production by 2032 and tripling it by 2035, creating good-paying jobs, attracting billions in investment and generating new revenue for the services British Columbians rely on. This includes:
-working with industry to assess barriers to investment from the CleanBC plan and ending unnecessary regulatory burdens that have created complexity and driven away investment.
-completing updated life cycle analyses showing the benefit of BC LNG displacing more GHG intensive forms of energy in overseas markets including Asia and gas from hostile powers like Russia in Europe.

Reducing restrictions
-ending emissions limits that are currently stopping further investment in BC beyond LNG and driving projects to hostile countries and countries with worse environmental and social records.
-replacing the costly and confusing carbon tax framework, which is holding back new LNG development, with stable guidance that rewards operators without penalizing BC exports against US and Qatari competitors.
-harmonizing project permitting, approvals and consultation to align with Bill C-39 to ensure BC led projects are approved within the new federal one year time frame. This will be directly supported by a 120 Day Approval Process in legislation.
-making B.C. natural gas the most competitive to produce, with legal permit deadlines and long-term development plans built in partnership with Treaty 8 nations.
-designating the Montney Formation’s gas reserves a strategic provincial asset.
-establishing resource development corridors that enable in linear infrastructure, including new and existing pipeline expansions required to grow the sector, reducing impacts and improving coordination with Indigenous groups before projects begin.
-backing the pipeline expansions already in motion: Coastal GasLink’s second phase, Prince Rupter Gas Transmission, and Enbridge’s Sunrise expansion on the West coast system.

Increasing power
-allowing significant increase in the domestic power needed for LNG development in BC, including driving growth within the renewable energy sector.
-getting the North Coast transmission line built on a fixed deadline, holding regular calls for new poewr so LNG never competes with homes and businesses for electricity, and giving plants carbon-price certainty that rewards the cleanest operators without charging BC exporters costs their competitors don’t pay.
-including renewables, hydro- and gas-fired plants in the regular calls for power.

Jobs
-working with industry, First Nations, and BC universities and colleges to develop a clear plan for building up the labour market for new projects.
-bringing an LNG focus on skills-to-employment strategy with particular focus on future good-paying jobs in natural gas, LNG, and NGL operations for BC grads.
-encouraging corporate proponents of LNG to return their headquarters back to BC, including inviting ExxonMobil, Chevron, Petronas, and Woodside to come back.
-working urgently with First Nations, mayors, councils, and proponents to insure that hospitals, schools and other services are available in relevant locations.

Climate Resilience: wildfires and habitat protection
The party’s 2025 Policy Declaration advocates:
-effective landscape management, including re-introduction of controlled burns for fire protection and containment; maximizing use of wetter spaces to keep wildfires on the ground and prevent spreading; focusing harvesting on areas damaged by wildfires or forest health issues.
-protecting wildlife habitat by ending aerial spraying of glyphosate.
-working with universities, communities, and volunteers to maximize effectiveness of fire prevention and fire fighting techniques.

In an online policy statement dated 2 October 2026, the party pledged that it would advocate implementation of the Wildfire Action Plan to protect BC’s communities, including buying water bombers, clearing dangerous fuels, speeding up safe prescribed burns, helping crews work together faster, and funding early detection technology.
-the party notes that British Columbia has been devastated by wildfires over the past decade, and that behind those fires are families who packed up what they could and left, not knowing whether they would have a home to come back to.
-the party states that controlled burns are one of the most effective tools for reducing wildfire risk. But lengthy approvals are needed even for routine, predictable burns. And when fire strikes, nearby firefighting crews face red tape of their own, even when they’re just down the road.

The party advocates:}
•procuring new firefighting aircraft, including waterbombers
•reducing dangerous forest fuels around communities;
•making prescribed fire easier to use without lowering safety standards;
•allowing qualified firefighting resources to work more quickly during emergencies;
•creating a dedicated fund to invest in early detection and prevention technologies.

Forestry
The party’s 2025 Policy Declaration states that since the softwood lumber dispute began, the US has collected $9 billion in duties from Canadian producers, much of it in BC. The funds are being held in deposit while the dispute continues. The party advocates:
-not standing idly by while forestry jobs are jeopardized. It proposes pushing the federal government to provide loans against the $9 billion held by the US, to keep the industry alive.
-to increase certainty for the forestry sector, the party advocates better delineating areas of primary and secondary lumber harvesting, and for biodiversity protection.
-modernizing stumpage by replacing it with a value-added and product tax.
-supporting use of wood fiber for power generation and other secondary products.
-support for workers and contractors to navigate difficult times, and investment in workforce training for the forest sector.

Fisheries
The party’s 2025 Policy Declaration acknowledges that commercial and sports fisheries are crucial components of the provinicial economy, and that government is called to advocate for them.
-although the regulation of fisheries is a federal responsibility, the provincial government should monitor federal performance and must encourage efficient activities.
-the provincial government should closely monitor lakes and rivers to ensure that aquatic resources are preserved and enhanced for future generations.
-to that end, provincial government should prmote cooperation between universities, scientific communities, the public and all other stakeholders to achieve an environmentally responsible balance for this valuable resource.

Renewable Energy – hydroelectricity
The party’s 2025 Policy Declaration advocates a common-sense approach to power production centered around affordability, reliability, and independence. To that end, the party advocates:
-reversing radical plans to ban natural gas heating and non-electric vehicles
-accelerating BC Hydro’s 10-year transmission and distribution capital plan to keep pace with population growth and proactive maintenance
-support for BC Hydro’s drought resilience efforts, including capital projects and improved forecasting and weather monitoring

Non-renewable energy – Oil & Gas
The party’s 2025 Policy Declaration advocates:
-development of the oil and gas sectors for the benefit of all BC residents through a fair, stable, and predictable royalty regime.
-construction and upgrading of pipelines and other movement corridors, with emphasis on facilitating domestic use, and secondarily export through BC ports

Non-renewable energy – Alternative Energy sources
The party’s 2025 Policy Declaration advocates:
-amending the Clean Energy Act to allow for nuclear power in the provincial energy mix
-putting safety first, through a comprehensive review of small modular reactor seismic hazard resilience
-joining Alberta, Saskatchewan, Yukon, Ontario, New Brunswick and PEI in the SMR Action Plan
-objectively reviewing wind, solar, geothermal, tidal, run of river sources for electrcal power generation at reasonable cost
-reviewing alternate fuels for road transportation, including hydrogen, ethanol, natual gas, and electricity

Mining
The party’s 2025 Policy Declaration advocates:
-ensuring an internationally-competitive fiscal regime, to attract and retain investment.
-enacting One Project, One Permit regulation, to address lack of coordination in bureaucracy; and simplifying redundant regulations.
-reviewing tax competitiveness, promoting a fair and competitive structure
-encouraging exploration, including reversing draconian policies stopping exploration implemented by the current government
-championing value-add activities, including all realistic proposals.
-establishing BC as a global hub for critical minerals
-strengthening Indigenous partnerships
-enforcing ‘if you build it, clean it’ principles, including designing tougher, smarter protections and ensure real remediation by miners, not taxpayers
-maintaining BC’s high environmental and safety standards without comprise, shortcuts, or excuses

The party’s constitution states that its 6 core principles include:
●Sustainability: using natural resources wisely to protect the rights and needs of future generations;
●Respect for Diversity: protecting and valuing all cultures and individuals while conserving variety in the natural world;
●Ecological Wisdom: learning to live within the physical and biological limits of our Earth and to protect its life-giving nature;

Climate Change

The party has published no further current statement regarding its policies respecting:
-climate change.
-species, diversity & wildlife

Energy & Resources; Sustainable Development

As a part of its proposal to build strong regional economies, the party’s 2026 Economic Vision document advocates ensuring an affordable and reliable supply of clean electricity capable of replacing fossil fuels across transportation, buildings and industry. BC Hydro would remain the backbone of the system, but electricity would increasingly be produced, stored and managed across thousands of homes, businesses and communities.
-households, First Nations, local governments and businesses will be able to own more of the energy infrastructure around them, lower their own costs and earn a return when their equipment helps meet the needs of the wider grid.
-over time, a larger and more flexible clean electricity system can also create opportunities to sell more power to other jurisdictions, generating public returns while helping reduce emissions beyond provincial borders.

To that end, the party advocates:
-launching a provincial residential solar and home battery strategy, comprising making rooftop solar, home batteries and plug-in balcony solar easier and more affordable to install, in order to a high-volume market in which standard systems can be purchased, approved and connected quickly, while ensuring customer-owned energy strengthens BC’s electricity system. This would include:
*restoring net metering and setting targets for distributed solar
*making rooftop solar simple to instal by creating a single province-wide approval portal for standard solar and battery systems
*buiding a high-volume market for standardized solar systems, by working with installers, manufacturers, local governments and regulatory authorities
*through BC Hydro, making clean energy upgrates affordable with low-cost on-bill financing, etc.
-unlocking community-scale energy projects, including:
*creating a clear legal framework for community ownership of energy assets
*creating a community energy project office to provide feasibility studies, techincal assistance, and legal and governance support
*expanding BC Hydro’s Community Generation Service to review size limits, compensation, eligible technologies, ownership and administrative structures
*supporting public participation in ownership through cooperatives, community bonds, etc.
-modernizing the grid, including
*making BC Hydro a partner in builiding a distributed electricity system, working with households, First Nations, communities, and businesses
*electrifying more of BC’s economy and building green power to match
*making better use of the existing system, through batteries, electric vehicles, water heaters, thermostats, and other devices
*establishing and enforcing updated service standards for grid connections
*training a corresponding work force

Stewardship of Creation

The party’s “Action Plan for You” (2026) states that it is taking action to protect nature and tackle climate change right now, when it matters; and advocates:
-reducing carbon pollution by taking on the biggest polluters
-exceeding its 2025 methane reduction target, and staying on track for a 75% reduction by the methane industry by 2030
-moving BC closer to its goal of protecting 30% of provincial lands by 2030, including by developing an ambitious, shared commitment to defend and preserve critical, at-risk areas, in participation with First Nations.
-preventing flooding, such as the kind seen in Sumas Prairie in 2021, by building climate resiliency into the widening of Highway I to Chilliwack.
-protecting and restoring watersheds waterways, and old growth, including:
*banning glyphosate (Round-Up) to protect watersheds and communities
* expanding salmon restoration in estuaries, inter-tidal zones, and spawning habitats
* completing 14 recommendations from Old Growth Strategy.
-defending people in BC against threates from a changing climate, including prooactively moving highly-flammable prune stands and debris to slow or stop the spread of wildfires and protect primary water sources for communities.

Sustainable Development

The party’s “Action Plan for You” (2026) states that it sees a path forward to a prosperous, sustainable future for everyone in BC. To that end it advocates:
-making BC a clean-energy superpower, including transitioning from a reliance on fossil fuels to affordable and reliable clean energy, and doubling electricity generation by 2050.
-leveraging the province’s clean energy to attract global investment, including marketing BC to global companies that make climate action a priority, and establishing a fund to leverage oil and gas development revenue for a New Clean Economy
-building out the physical and workforce resources needed by the BC mining industry, including expanding the electricity grid to support mines with clean energy, upgrading key highways in the northwest, and establishing union-led training program to help workers keep pace.
-creating more good-paying forest jobs, including more workers at BC mills, creating a forest value fund to fast-track wood-manufacturing facilities and re-tooling of mills to process second-growth timber, and promoting engineered-wood production.
-building resilience for farmers and farms, including protecting farmers’ crops and livlihoods through a topped-up perennial crop renewal program and expanding the agricultural Extreme Weather Preparedness Fund.
-delivering more protection and less re tape for small businesses, including expanding online dispute resolution through the tribunal to business-landlord disputes, and changing PST filing from quarterly to monthly
-cutting red tape for restaurants, wineries, breweries and distilleries, including modernizing liquor laws and licensing to focus inspection and enforcement resources on higher-risk establishments.
-protecting the rights of BC workers by matching BC’s minimum wage increases with inflation, preventing off-shoring of jobs on public projects, and increased protections for temporary foreign workers.

Climate Disaster Resilience
The party’s 2026 budget states that it continues to support communities to prepare for and respond to the impacts through the Disaster Resilience and Innovation Fund, which was established in 2023.
-where possible, the Province leverages co-investment opportunities for projects, drawing from federal programs such as the Disaster Financial Assistance Arrangement, as well as the over $336 million that has been provided by the Province to the Community Emergency Preparedness Fund since 2017.
-recent key infrastructure upgrade project investments include:
*$60 million committed to the City of Merritt in 2024/25 to begin a multi-year project to relocate and rebuild two damaged dikes, following flooding in November 2021. In 2025/26, a further $3 million was committed to begin planning construction of the next section of dike to help protect the Middlesboro area and downtown core from flooding.
*$10 million was committed to the Village of Hazelton in 2025/26 to enhance an existing dike along the Skeena River, including a new 1.2-kilometre dike section. This project will help protect critical village infrastructure, including historical structures, homes, businesses, utilities, and cultural landmarks.
*$4 million was committed to the City of Pitt Meadows for the Kennedy Drainage Pump Station upgrade to counter threats such as flood and sea-level rise, drought,
-since 2024/25, the Disaster Resilience and Innovation Fund has invested over $27 million into 57 projects for First Nations and local governments to enhance their capacity to withstand and adapt to natural and climate-driven hazards.

In total, the 2026 budget proposes the following allocations for Water, Land, and Resource Stewardship for the period 2025 through 2029 (in millions of dollars):

2025/26           2026/27           2027/28           2028/29
$197M                 $202M                $199M                 $199M

Role & Purpose of the Family 

Child Care
In an online policy statement dated February 2026, the party advocates:
-treating child care as essential economic infrastructure to finally make the $10-a-day goal a reality for every family.

Health Care & Elder Care

Elder Care
In an online policy statement dated 16 Feb 2026, the party stated:
-it advocates expanding home care so that seniors can age with dignity, and reduce the paperwork for doctors so that they can focus on seeing patients.

Education & Young Workers
In an online policy statement dated February and September 2026, the party states that:
-it opposes repealing any legislation that would impact people’s rights to be be free from discrimination, whether as an employee or as a student.
-it advocates building a balanced, sustainable economy, championing existing industries and businesses, small and large, while fostering innovation to secure good jobs while modernizing the education system to prepare you for the future.

Artificial Intelligence in Education
In an online statement dated June 2026, the party advocates:
-ensuring that every student graduates AI literate; shifting curriculum to emphasize critical thinking, creativity, communication, ethical reasoning, adaptability, and resilience; establishing clear standards for responsible AI use in K-12 and post-secondary education; and investing in teacher training to support educators in leading this transformation.

Culture, Arts & Tourism
The party has published no current statement concerning its policies regarding culture, arts, or tourism.

Role of the Family 

The party states that:

– it believes that the family unit is essential to the well-being of individuals and society, because that is where children learn values and develop a sense of responsibility.
– therefore government legislation and programs should support and respect the role of the British Columbian family and the rich heritage of this province where the family unit has traditionally been valued and supported by government.
– it believes in the right and duty of parents to raise their own children responsibly according to their own conscience and beliefs. We believe no person, government or agency has the right to interfere in the exercise of that duty except through due process of law and only where it can be reasonably done.

Health Care & Elder Care 

The party states that the Health Care System in British Columbia is not adequately meeting the needs of all British Columbians. There is currently a long waiting list for many medical procedures.  In addition, many rural residents now have to travel long distances, sometimes in extreme winter conditions, to access certain types of health care.

The party therefore advocates:
– covering the cost of hospitals cost in British Columbia by payments from the Provincial Government on a “Performance” basis, to cause hospital administrations to become conscious of costs and revenues and help them to seek the most cost-effective way of dealing with their patients, and in many cases to offer more, rather than fewer services. This will help reduce waiting lists for surgeries
– when private health care providers can provide a service more cost effectively and/or in a more timely manner, sending patients to those private health care providers and covering the cost of their services through the BC Health Care system. This is currently being done with most doctors, who operate private, “for profit” clinics in British Columbia
–  making copies of all invoices paid by the Provincial Government, including all payments to Government owned facilities as well as all payments to private health care providers available to the patient or surviving relative. This will enable the residents of British Columbia to see what their health care is costing the taxpayers and will make medical practitioners aware that their invoices are being seen by the customer
– creating an office of Provincial Surgeon General to oversee the complete provincial health care system and ensure fairness in payments to hospitals and clinics as well as to arbitrate patient complaints.
– addressing the shortage of doctors and nurses by fast tracking the accreditation of foreign trained  professionals and by increasing the number of training spaces in provincial educational institutions
– encouraging the establishment of walk-in clinics, including clinics offering 24- hour service, and then encouraging emergency room personnel to refer non emergency patients to those walk-in clinics, where they can be treated more cost effectively
– opening or re-opening hospitals that have been closed in smaller communities in rural British Columbia, where numbers and/or distance from existing hospitals warrant, so that fewer patients will have to travel such great distances, sometimes in extreme weather, to access primary health care. This will also relieve some of the pressure on our regional hospitals. Where numbers warrant, palliative care will be provided at these small, rural hospitals so that those approaching end-of-life can be closer to their families and be kept comfortable.
– placing emphasis on preventative medicine and promoting fitness and nutrition as keys to healthier living and to reduce the demand on our health care facilities. This will include health and fitness programs in our schools, including mandatory physical education from K-12.
– establishing a Health Care Task Force that will consult with provincial health care professionals and residents, study health care services in other countries to determine what works and what could provide benefit to the residents of British Columbia
– ensuring that the five basic principles of the Canada Health Act are applied throughout Canada, even though the administration of health services comes under provincial jurisdiction. Residents of any province or territory who require medical assistance or services while visiting elsewhere in Canada should have as full and equal access to all health care facilities and services as residents of the province or territory in which the need for such services is required.

Abortion, Elective Surgery, & Socially-Assisted Death (SAD)
The party states that:
– while currently, abortions are performed by BC health care professionals both within provincially-operated facilities and private clinics, it does not believe abortions (the killing of tiny human beings) qualify as “health care”, or that BC taxpayers, many of whom are conscientiously opposed to abortion, should be forced to pay for them
– it also believes that the money spent on abortions in BC could be better spent on pregnancy care and support for new mothers. Many studies indicate negative health impacts for women who undergo abortions, including suicide, depression, birthing complications and a higher incidence of breast cancers.
– therefor the party advocates removing abortion from the list of taxpayer-funded surgical procedures
– the party further believes that BC taxpayers should not be forced to pay for any surgeries that are not medically necessary. (Abortion is an elective surgery and is not medically necessary).
– it advocates restoring the access to statistical information about abortions performed in all BC hospitals and private clinics, including making it mandatory to document all medical procedures in BC. This information must be available to the public through Freedom of Information requests.
– repealing provincial “Bubble Zone” legislation (Access to Abortion Services ACT of 1995) and restoring freedom of speech in BC.
– defending senior citizens and those with disabilities from attempts to institute euthanasia and assisted suicide in the province of BC.

Long-Term & Home Care
The party advocates
– opening more long term care facilities in British Columbia in order to get long term care patients out of our hospitals and into a more comfortable environment, and free up hospital beds for acute care patients
– opening more community care facilities in rural British Columbia, in order to take pressure off of our hospitals in those communities
– increasing the availability of home care support and reinstating housekeeping and other services so that more senior citizens can live in dignity in their own homes and so that that the demand for expensive hospital care will be further reduced

Education & Young Workers

Primary & Secondary Education

The party states that:
– parents are the first and primary educators of their own children. A CHP-BC Government will protect the right of parents to choose the best type of schooling for their children.
– provincial funding allocated for the education of BC children in primary and secondary schools “follow the student” and be directed to the school setting chosen by the parents. “School choice” means that the parents can choose the best school for their children and the provincial per-student allocation will be directed to that school, including public schools, charter schools, independent schools, or home schools.
– ensuring that the Ministry of Education establishes minimum academic standards to ensure that institutions or home schools are equipping students with adequate basic knowledge and skills, as well as a ‘fee per student’ that will apply to all students in BC.
– where institutions outside of the public school system are able to provide an equivalent or superior education at a lower cost, the Ministry  will adjust fees accordingly for all students, providing an incentive for excellence and cost-effectiveness
– no schools funded by tax dollars will teach/promote/condone physical harm
– ensuring that volunteers and non-licensed paid employees are allowed to perform non-academic services for independent schools. Remuneration for these services will be entirely at the discretion of the governing body of the independent schools
– negotiating salaries and working conditions of public school teachers on a province wide basis
– ending the practice of taxpayer-funded BC Schools being used to promote social engineering regarding human sexuality, sexual orientation, etc. Parents are primarily responsible for training their own children in matters of morality. Public educators are entrusted—during the valuable time children are in their care and supervision—to support parents as role models, not to usurp their authority nor to undermine the values taught at home. To this end, reversing the Corren Agreement of 2005
– abandoning widespread promotion of “anti-bullying” as a strategy to promote alternate sexual and family models will be abandoned. All students will be protected from all forms of bullying, including pressure from teachers and peers to conform to new standards of sexual labelling and attitudes.
– promoting a high standard of conduct for all students and teachers including positive references to abstinence, chastity and marriage.

Post-Secondary Education
In order to promote employment and job creation, the party advocates:
– encouragement of and support for BC residents and support who wish to complete their education up to and including grade twelve
– within the ability of taxpayers to fund the cost, increasing provincial expenditures on education at technical institutes, colleges and universities by providing loans for students who apply and meet the minimum requirements. These loans will be forgivable for post-secondary students who graduate from BC institutions and continue to live, work and pay taxes in BC. Forgiveness of the loans will be pro-rated over a ten year period. If any graduate ceases to be a resident of British Columbia at any time within the ten years following graduation, the unforgiven pro-rated portion of the student loan will become due and payable

With respect to its values and purposes, the party’s constitution states that the party believes that social, economic and political progress in Canada can only be assured by the application of democratic socialist principles to government and the administration of public affairs, and that its principles of democratic socialism can be defined as:
-the production and distribution of goods and services shall be directed to meeting the social and individual needs of people and not for profit;
-the modification and control of the operations of monopolistic productive and distributive organizations through economic and social planning shall be directed towards these ends; and
-where necessary, the extension of the principle of social ownership.

In total, the 2026 budget proposes the following allocations for Children and Family Development for the period 2025 through 2029 (in millions of dollars):

2025/26           2026/27           2027/28           2028/29
$2,400M            $2,712M             $2,594M            $2,599M

Youth Support

Child Care
The party’s 2026 budget allocates $330 million over three years for continuation of its child care programs, including affordable child care through programs like the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative.
-the 2026 budget states that since 2018its investments in the ChildCareBC plan have made significant progress in expanding access and affordability, including addition of 58,000 spaces across 1,450 facilities. Average daily fees for children 12 years and under have been significantly reduced, from $47 per day (or $940 per month) to $20 per day (or $400 per month).
-median wages for early childhood educators have increased 53 per cent, from $19 per hour to $29 per hour. On average, over 2,400 more children are receiving inclusive child care services each month, and government now funds over 2,000 no-fee Aboriginal Head Start spaces.
-in addition, the budget includes $25 million in capital and operating over the next three years to continue and expand upon child care programs.
-in October 2025, government introduced legislation to expand child care options on school grounds, including before-and after-school care. Funding is being made available to School Districts for equipment and capital upgrades to support schools in providing more before and after school care.

Children and Youth with Support Needs
The party’s 2026 budget states that:
-the party continues record spending, with $475 million in new funding over0 three years for children and youth with disabilities by providing families with direct funding for support services, and adding more service providers in their communities. The party promises a modernized system, building on what already works for families — more flexible, more streamlined, more equitable, and better aligned with the diverse needs of children and youth.
-investment will be applied in three priority areas:
*families of children with the most significant and life altering disabilities will benefit from the new Children and Youth with Support Needs Benefit, providing flexible direct funding for approximately 12,000 families who require higher, sustained, individualized support.
*low- and middle-income families raising a child with a disability will benefit from the new Children and Youth Disability Supplement, offering up to $6,000 per year to ease financial pressures and help ensure children can access required supports.
*all families will benefit from a more than 40 per cent expansion in community-based services, including increased behavioural and mental health supports, 6-18 programming, and navigation services.
-over 2026 and 2027, these new supports will replace existing programs like the Autism Individualized Funding Program, which will be phased out.

Children and Youth in Care and Alternative Care
The party’s 2026 budget states over the past 20 years, the number of children and youth in care has declined by nearly 50 per cent, while the overall cost to support children in care has increased due to the increasing complexity of cases and higher needs per individual.
-the 2026 budget provides $478 million over three years to support children in government care or who are placed with a family member or someone with an established relationship. This expense is up from $114 million over three years provided in the 2024 budget.
-this funding supports the foster care, Indigenous child and family service agencies, specialized homes and services, and the independent living program. These programs support approximately 12,000 children and youth who are unable to live with their parents. Over time, better care reduces intergenerational cycles of child protection involvement and lessens future demand on health, justice, housing, and social assistance systems, creating significant long-term savings.

Health Care

The party’s “Action Plan for You” (September 2026) states that in order to provide better care for individuals and families, it advocates hiring more doctors and nurses and completing more surgeries, including:
-never reinstating Medical Services Plan (MSP) payments, which were eliminated in 2020
-maintaining the pace of new connections for family doctors and nurse practitioners, which provided 248,000 new connections in the last 18 months, with 160,000 more on track in the next six months. With this pace, everyone who wants a family doctor or nurse practitioner was intended to have one by the end of 2025.
-training more doctors, including creating dozens of new medical school seats, creating 48 new residency positions, and enrolling first students in a new medical school at Simon Fraser University during 2026
-defending and expanding access to reproductive health services, including expanding midwives’ scope of practice to include IUD insertion, prescribing Mifegymiso for early medical abortions, and other services.
-building or expanding hospitals across BC, 29 new or expanded hospitals since 2017 and more to come.
-delivering better cancer care, including reduced wait times. This includes providing four new cancer care centres, hiring more cancer care doctors (92 added in 2024) and radiation therapists, and increasing job-protected leave for cancer patients to 27 weeks.
-providing mental health care for BC students and youth, including ensuring that every public school has a mental health counselor and expanding Foundry Centres for Youth to ten more communities.
-expanding access to treatment for construction workers (who make up one in five drug deaths), new residential treatment options for parents, expanded treatment in correctional facilities, and strengthening of recovery homes and First Nations treatment centres.

Caseload and Primary Care

-continued funding implemented in Budget 2025 of $34 million annually to continue equitable and affordable access to in vitro fertilization (IVF). The continuation of this program will allow approximately 1,800 families annually to receive up to $19,000 towards a single standard cycle of IVF treatment at participating B.C. fertility clinics.

Efficiency in the Healthcare System
The party’s 2026 budget states that throughout the 2025/26 fiscal year it engaged in a comprehensive expenditure management exercise with the goal of identifying opportunities to improve system efficiencies, reduce administrative costs, and prioritize funding to frontline services.
-as part of it’s review of health authorities, $60 million was identified in annual savings through the reduction of more than 1,100 existing or planned positions.
-looking forward within the health sector, it has identified over $200 million in annual spending to be reinvested in core service areas.
-had this work not been undertaken, an additional $780 million over three years would have been needed to support the province’s health care system.

Federal Partnerships for Health Care
The party’s 2026 budget includes $2.2 billion, over three years, in targeted federal funding for health services. This includes $447 million under the Aging with Dignity agreement in support of seniors to help address complex medical conditions outside the hospital setting, improving the safety and quality of long-term care facilities and supporting the long-term  care workforce.
-the federal government has also undertaken to provide an additional $653 million to fund expanded public coverage for diabetes and hormone replacement therapy.
-finally, the Province is projecting to receive $1.1 billion over three years for the anticipated extension of the Working Together to Improve Health Care for Canadians agreement.
-These amounts are in addition to federal funding received through the Canada Health Transfer.

Inclusive of the above reductions, the following allocations have been committed or planned for the period 2025 through 2029 (in billions of dollars):

2025/26           2026/27           2027/28           2028/29
 $35.017B           $36.116B            $37.240B           $38.404B

Seniors and Elder Care

The party’s “Action Plan for You” states that as priorities it advocates:
-helping seniors get around town with free off-peak transit
-helping seniors live independently by increasing the Seniors Supplement and expanding the Better at Home program
-building 5,400 long-term care beds.

The party’s 2026 budget includes ongoing funding to support a recent memorandum of agreement between the Ministry of Health, the Health Employers Association of B.C. (HEABC) and the Facilities Bargaining Association to bring eligible care-home operators into HEABC membership, ensuring workers are covered by an HEABC-negotiated collective agreement, which supports over 5,000 workers, providing fair wages, benefits and protections, while strengthening care for seniors.
-the 2026 budget also provides $35 million over three years to the Ministry of Housing and Municipal Affairs to support Independent Living B C. This funding will continue rental housing supports for low and moderate income seniors who require assistance to live independently.

Education & Young Workers

K-12 Enrollment Growth (sic)
The party’s 2026 budget states that it has invested over $2.9 billion in new annual funding into B.C.’s education system since 2017/18, an increase of 42 per cent. This funding has helped to add over 6,000 new teachers to the public school system. It regards continued investment in kindergarten to grade 12 students as key to securing the province’s future.
-despite a K-12 population that is forecasted to decline slightly over the fiscal plan period, the budget includes $634 million in new funding over three years, supporting teachers, student services, and inclusive learning recognizing the increased rates of inclusive education students enrolling in B.C.’s schools.
-while K-12 enrolment figures overall show a slight decline, there continue to be fast growing communities where the party proposes making investments, including continued renovations and new construction in communities like Surrey, Langley and Langford.

Increasing Student Supports
The party’s 2026 budget 2026 includes new funding of $167 million for a Classroom Enhancement Fund for additional teachers for all students, special education teachers, and teacher psychologists and counsellors.

-B.C. classrooms are seeing an increase in students with support needs. Since the 2002/03 school year, the number of students in B.C. schools diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder has increased by 1,400 per cent.
-recognizing the additional support children with an inclusive education designation require, government’s funding model allocates 3.7 times the funding of a standard FTE to students with a level 2 inclusive education designation. This shift in student demographics is a contributor to overall K-12 funding growth despite a decline in overall enrolment numbers.
-additionally, the Province’s capital plan includes $3.9 billion over the next three years to build, renovate and seismically upgrade schools and playgrounds throughout B.C.

Budget Totals for K-12 Education and Child Care

– encouragement and support for BC residents and support who wish to complete their education up to and including grade twelve
– within the ability of taxpayers to fund the cost, increasing provincial expenditures on education at technical institutes, colleges and universities by providing loans for students who apply and meet the minimum requirements. These loans will be forgivable for post-secondary students who graduate from BC institutions and continue to live, work and pay taxes in BC.

– ensuring that treaties and treaty negotiations are consistent with, and respectful of, the public right to fish and will ensure that aboriginals have equal access with all other Canadians to the fisheries resource.
– seeking compensation from the federal government for fishermen where federal fisheries policies have undermined the livelihood of BC fishermen, and advocating for BC fisheries.
– appointment of a BC Minister of Fisheries, and ensuring that aquaculture operates in a manner that does not harm or threaten wild fish stocks. A timetable will be established by which all fish farms will be required to move to closed containment.

-reviving manufactureing in BC, creating jobs with powerful paychecks in manufacturing, and increasing the volume of “Made in British Columbia” goods
-supporting small businesses, including ensuring that businesses of all sizes have equal opportunities for growth and success. Larger businesses should not be able to use their size or market share to give themselves unfair advantages over smaller businesses.

Cost of Living
In an online policy statement dated 8 October 2026, the party advocates cutting provincial income taxes by $1,000 a year for nearly every working British Columbian and $2,000 for the average couple, to provide relief to families struggling with the rising cost of living.
-this includes raising BC’s basic personal exemption from $13,216 to $32,000, making it the most generous in Canada. For a typical two-income family, that would mean $167 more every month to help cover the rising cost of gas, groceries, and everyday essentials.

In an online policy statement dated 27 September 2026, the party pleged never to raise taxes on British Columbians. The party states that under the currrent government, which campaigned on “taxing the rich,” raised the lowest income tax rate from 5.06% to 5.60%, hurting every worker in the province; and announced an expansion of the 7 percent PST and eliminated several PST exemptions, then paused the expansion on the eve of an election, leaving the policy on the books and ready to return.

PST Reduction
In an online policy statement dated 29 September 2026, the party has committed to removing PST at the till on Canadian beer, wine and spirits, as part of a broader plan to support a key sector of the BC economy impacted by US tariffs. The moratorium would remain in place for the duration of the current trade war with the US.
-the party states that such targeted relief would help British Columbian producers compete and protect wineries, breweries and distilleries that contribute billions of dollars to the provinical economy and support more than 20,000 people in 70 communities.

Global Energy Superpower
In an online policy statement dated 5 October 2026, the party states that British Columbians, like people around the world, are feeling the effects of global crises, from the war in Ukraine to the blockage of the Strait of Hormuz to shifting American priorities and hostility from the Trump administration. The world is demanding reliable suppliers of the most important inputs, and that is BC’s opportunity to become an energy superpower. BC has the resources, workers and strategic location to become a global energy leader. To that end, the party advocates doubling natural gas production by 2032 and tripling it by 2035, creating good-paying jobs, attracting billions in investment and generating new revenue for the services British Columbians rely on. This includes:
-working with industry to assess barriers to investment from the CleanBC plan and ending unnecessary regulatory burdens that have created complexity and driven away investment.
-completing updated life cycle analyses showing the benefit of BC LNG displacing more GHG intensive forms of energy in overseas markets including Asia and gas from hostile powers like Russia in Europe.

Reducing restrictions
-ending emissions limits that are currently stopping further investment in BC beyond LNG and driving projects to hostile countries and countries with worse environmental and social records.
-replacing the costly and confusing carbon tax framework, which is holding back new LNG development, with stable guidance that rewards operators without penalizing BC exports against US and Qatari competitors.
-harmonizing project permitting, approvals and consultation to align with Bill C-39 to ensure BC led projects are approved within the new federal one year time frame. This will be directly supported by a 120 Day Approval Process in legislation.
-making B.C. natural gas the most competitive to produce, with legal permit deadlines and long-term development plans built in partnership with Treaty 8 nations.
-designating the Montney Formation’s gas reserves a strategic provincial asset.
-establishing resource development corridors that enable inlinear infrastructure, including new and existing pipeline expansions required to grow the sector, reducing impacts and improving coordination with Indigenous groups before projects begin.
-backing the pipeline expansions already in motion: Coastal GasLink’s second phase, Prince Rupter Gas Transmission, and Enbridge’s Sunrise expansion on the West coast system.

Increasing power
-allowing significant increase in the domestic power needed for LNG development in BC, including driving growth within the renewable energy sector.
-getting the North Coast transmission line built on a fixed deadline, holding regular calls for new poewr so LNG never competes with homes and businesses for electricity, and giving plants carbon-price certainty that rewards the cleanest operators without charging BC exporters costs their competitors don’t pay.
-including renewables, hydro- and gas-fired plants in the regular calls for power.

Jobs
-woring with industry, First Nations, and BC universities and colleges to develop a clear plan for building up the labour market for new projects.
-bringing an LNG focus on skills-to-employment strategy with particular focus on future good-paying jobs in natural gas, LNG, and NGL operations for BC grads.
-encouraging corporate proponents of LNG to return their headquarters back to BC, including inviting ExxonMobil, Chevron, Petronas, and Woodside to come back.
-working urgently with First Nations, mayors, councils, and proponents to insure that hospitals, schools and other services are available in relevant locations.

Housing; Poverty Reduction 

The party’s 2025 Policy Declaration states that in order to ensure that all British Columbians have the chance to own a home and thrive, it is committed to speeding up housing approvals through the following actions:
-approving homes in months, rather than years, including rezoning and issuance of development permits within 6 months, and building permits  within 3 months, including mandating provincial action if municipalities fail to act promptly.
-working with cities to ‘pre-zone’ in advance, eliminating delays cause by rezoning ieach individual project
-demonstrating trust in provincial professionals, by implementing a presumption of compliance policy, allowing engineers and architects to do their jobs without unnecessary bureaucratic interference
-repealing all hidden taxes on housing, including the radical Step Code policy and Net-Zero mandate, which the party recognize as hidden taxes that drive housing costs up 30-40%
-a forensic audit of BC Housing to ensure taxpayer dollars are spent on genuine low-income housing, rather than politically-connected non-profits.
-amendment of Bill 47 (transit-oriented areas) to ensure new communities have space for grocery stores, small businesses, and services within walking distance of homes.
-working with BC Assessment to prevent current homeowners from being hit with higher tax bills due to future potential zoning changes
-identifying land outside the Agricultural Land Reserve with potential to support new communities
-introducing real tax incentives for purpose-built rental housing
-supporting policies that reduce barriers to home ownership, such as reducing red tape for home construction, lowering the price of building materials, and increasing the inventory of housing.

Industries & Corporations

Agriculture
The party’s 2025 Policy Declaration states that in addition to providing food and other farm products, agriculture is a major employer and economic generator across the province. The party advocates supporting BC farmers by:
-investing in research and development to develop innovative, climate-resilient practices and disease-resistant crops.
-providing financial support for yield-increasing measures including both conventional and innovative practices such as crop rotation, organic farming, and regenerative agriculture.
-streamlining grant programs for small and medium-sized farmers, ensuring they can adopt cutting edge tools and practices
-increased replanting support and disaster recovery funds, to help farmers with extreme weather event
-enhancing pollinator populations through improved stewardship of crown land and supporting use of pollinator-friendly practices
-protecting land and water access for farmers, including reviewing the Agricultural Land Commission, land speculation practices, investing in flood mitigation mechanisms, and expanding water storage capacity on farms.

To reduce the cost of growing food, the party advocates:
-scrapping the carbon tax, which has increased operational costs across the entire agricultural supply chain
-launching land access incentives, providing tax relief for small rent-paying farmers and making it easier for new farmers to start
-implementing a microloan program to help small farmers acquire equipment, seeds, livestock
-cutting red tape on farm housing for agricultural workers and supporting access to temporary labour

To expand agricultural infrastructure and improve market access, the party advocates:
-expanding the Buy BC program to prioritize locally-produced food and beverages in stores
-increasing local food processing capacity by creating tax incentives for food manufacturing, reducing reliance on imports, and creating local markets for all BC farmers
-improving rural transportation infrastructure to help farmers get produce to market safely and efficiently
-opening new international markets for BC food products, wherever opportunities exist.

Transportation

The party’s 2025 Policy Declaration advocates common-sense upgrades to provincial infrastructure, including:

Bridges and Highways
-a new bridge across Okanogan Lake and replacement of the Taylor Bridge on the Peace River, rebuilding of Red Bridge in Kamloops
-upgrading and expanding Highways 19, 97, and 1
-expanding Patulo Bridge to six lanes
-a new Ironworkers Memorial Bridge with expanded auto and transit capacity
-replacement of George Massey Tunnel
-keeping the BC Ferry Service affordable, reliable, safe and efficient, as an integral part of the provincial transportation system

Rail & Transit
-extending the SkyTrain to Newton in Surrey, along the King George corridor
-funding key projects in the Transport 2050 plan in consultation with municipal leaders and TransLink.
-considering a Fraser Valley regional rail link between Chilliwack, Abbotsford, the Langley SkyTrain, and Surrey; and in the Sea-to-Sky corridor to Squamish
-implementation of zero-tolerance policy for drug use, threats, and violence on public transit
-expanding HandyDART services to areas of greatest need, with strictly-enforced quality standards
-fully funding Translink for two years to maintain uninterrupted, reliable service; auditing and reforming TransLink’s financial model to ensure long-term funding adequate not just for maintenance of service, but to support expansion

Auto Insurance
-ensuring rate fairness for younger and older drivers, who are sometimes “priced-out” of coverage
-ending the ICBC monopoly on basic auto insurance
-restoring rights for accident victims (no-fault), ensuring that individuals with life-altering injuries receive proper representation to protect their rights

Economy for All

The party’s 2026 Economic Vision document states that the provincial economy is no longer adequately described by its traditional economic narrative. Service-producing industries now account for approximately 78 per cent of provincial GDP and 82 per cent of employment, and this has continued to rise in recent years. In contrast, the natural resource sector accounts for just 7.2 per cent of provincial GDP and 3.1 per cent of jobs – continuing to decline over the past decade. Manufacturing output declined by 6.2 per cent in 2024, representing the third year in a row of contractions in this sector.

-these changes mean that BC needs to think differently about the role that natural resources play in its economy. For too long, success has been measured by how much the province extracts, and how much investment is attracted. Too little attention has been paid to what is built around those investments, including the businesses that supply them, the processing and manufacturing that happens here, the skills and technology that are developed, who ends up owning the assets, and how much of the resulting wealth actually stays in BC.

The 2026 Economic Vision document further states that it believes in:
-local economies, where small businesses don’t have to worry about sudden rent hikes because they are protected by rent control. Where municipalities can tax the storefronts that sit empty because their corporate owner would rather speculate than let local enterprise thrive.
-resource communities, once tied to volatile industries, rebuilt with thousands of good, union jobs developing the green industry BC so desperately needs, using those industries to bring down the cost of our energy bills, transportation, and construction.
-taxing the wealth of those who make more in one night’s sleep than what a worker makes in a year, and using that revenue to fund the high-quality, accessible public services British Columbians deserve.

The party advocates a future that is:
-focused on improving people’s lives, making the essentials of a good life more affordable, reducing inequality and ensuring that rising prosperity is broadly shared;
*climate-aligned and able to withstand a changing climate;
*capable of creating good, secure and family-supporting work.
*built with First Nations as full participants in shaping the economy, with greater ownership, decision-making power and opportunities to build wealth, consistent with Indigenous rights and title;
*diverse in structure, without monopolies, and capable of reining in corporate profiteering and pollution;
*rooted in the strengths of communities and regions, with more wealth and decision-making remaining close to where it is created.

In building such a future, the party advocates focusing on building four key areas:
1-strong regional economies
2-producing abundant, affordable, and reliable clean power
3-making and retaining more value within the province
4-sharing prosperity

Industries & Corporations

As a part of its proposal to build strong regional economies, the party’s 2026 Economic Vision document advocates efforts to retain more value internally, including especially sectors in which BC has the potential for lasting advantage, retaining more value from provincial resources and knowledge, and building infrastructure and productive capacity that will allow businesses and communities to succeed.

This includes, for example:
-developing forests and mineral resources to support higher-value uses where they make economic and ecological sense.
-growing BC’s technology sector and applying new technologies across the economy.
-establishing better transportation and rail connections to help industries reach markets and strengthen regional economies.
-expanding opportunities for First Nations, workers and communities to own productive assets and share in the value they create.

To that end, the party’s Economic Vision document advocates:
-building capabilities and value chain in areas in which BC can develop advantages, including looking beyond individual projects to the capabilities that make whole industries competitive, including energy, infrastructure, manufacturing, skills, research and demonstration capacity, and access to markets. Each priority will have a ten-year strategy with clear goals andregularly updated milestones.
-creating permanent partnerships for priority industries
-planning energy and industry together, on a region-by-region basis
-using public funding strategically, to support areas in which BC could have an advantage
-building a circular economy, including
*keeping products in use longer, recovering more value from materials, and creating new businessesaround repair, reuse, refurbishment, remanufacturing and recycling.
*basing the circular on the largest opportunities to reduce waste and build economic value, including construction materials, metals, electronics, batteries, plastics, organics and industrial by-products.
*strengthening right-to-repair and reuse, improving systems for recovering high-value materials, and using public procurement to create reliable markets for reused, remanufactured and recycled products.
*fixing the forestry sector

Forestry
The party’s 2026 Economic Vision document states that forestry will remain an important part of BC’s economy, particularly in rural and resource-dependent communities, but the industry is undergoing a fundamental transition. Available fibre is declining, mills have closed, trade barriers are growing and climate change is altering the forests themselves. BC cannot build a stable forest economy around attempting to return to the harvest levels of the past.
-multiple reports have concluded that systemic reform is needed, yet many of the hardest recommendations remain unfinished or unimplemented, resulting in a system that seems to satisfy almost no one.
-the challenge now is having the courage to make the changes that are needed. That means making clearer choices about where and how forests are managed, putting more decisions in the hands of community-based regional decision-makers, rebuilding ecological health and creating a forest economy that gets more value from harvested trees.

To that end, the party advocates:
-planning forests from the landscape up, including working with First Nations, communities, workers, forest companies, community forests, environmental organizations and technical experts, to develop long-term plans for each forest region, including determining what each landscape can sustainably support, including requirements for ecosystem health, biodiversity, watersheds, cultural values, wildfire resilience and climate adaptation.
-creating an independent forest oversight body to develop trusted public information. Complete a modern province-wide forest and ecosystem inventory, including LiDAR and other technologies needed to understand forest conditions at the landscape level. The independent forest oversight body will report publicly on the implementation of forest reforms, changes in ecosystem conditions and whether regional plans are meeting their objectives.
-ending clearcutting, and shifting to partial harvesting, variable retention, commercial thinning, longer rotations and other approaches adapted to specific forest regions.
-connecting forestry planning to regional economic development based on support of a sustainable fibre supply.
-making more efficient use of harvested trees, including engineered wood, industrialized and manufactured housing, furniture, and biomaterials.
-reconnecting Crown timber to regional jobs and manufacturing.
-treating reforestation, wildfire resilience, and climate adaptation as long-term sources of skilled work, rather than intermittent emergency programs.

Mining and Minerals
The party’s 2026 Economic Vision document states that critical minerals are essential to electricity grids, batteries, renewable energy and modern technology, but producing them can permanently alter landscapes and watersheds, generate large volumes of waste and create impacts that fall disproportionately on First Nations and nearby communities. A Green critical-minerals strategy must hold those realities together by using fewer materials where possible, recovering what has already been extracted, upholding strong environmental and Indigenous-rights standards, and building more public value from minerals produced.
-the province should be intentional about what mineral development is for, including understanding where processed minerals go, what they are being used for, and whether their development is building lasting economic value in BC.
-priorities should include minerals that contribute to the energy transition, resilient infrastructure and economic opportunities here in BC, rather than expanding production simply because global demand is growing.
-Canada’s existing critical-minerals strategy recognizes the importance of building a full value chain running from extraction through processing, manufacturing and recycling. But amid the current push to streamline major projects, BC needs a renewed focus on high standards and on building midstream and downstream processing capacity.

To that end, the party advocates:
-setting ecological limits before identifying where mining should occur, including mapping critical watersheds, intact ecosystems, biodiversity values, cumulative industrial pressures and areas identified by communities and First Nations before making long-term mineral-development decisions. Some places are too ecologically or culturally important for mining, regardless of the value of the deposit beneath them.
-setting world-leading standards for mining. Global standards should be setfor how critical minerals are developed, rather than aiming to extract more of them more quickly. This would include establishing world-leading standards for water, tailings and mine waste, biodiversity, pollution, reclamation and closure, drawing on leading international frameworks and continuously raising them as practices improve.
-adopting incentives and industrial policies to prioritize minerals, processing and recycling that support the energy transition and other low-carbon industries, including clean electricity, batteries and electrified transportation.
-investment in recovery and recycling of critical minerals so that new extraction is not the only way to meet growing demand.
-permitting should be clear, adequately staffed and predictable, but faster decisions cannot come from weakening environmental assessment, Indigenous rights or opportunities for affected communities to shape projects.
-keeping more value from the minerals produced within the province, including development of complete value chains, from recovery and recycling through processing, refining and manufacturing.
-mining waste and recycling first, including a public inventory of mine tailings and other mineral-rich waste, with standardized information on composition and environmental condition, and establishing dedicated pathways for re-mining projects that combine mineral recovery with remediation.
-tracking where BC’s minerals go, including requiring mines operating in BC to publicly report where the minerals and concentrates they produce are sold, their destination countries and, where known, where they are processed or refined.

Technology & Innovation
The party’s 2026 Economic Vision document states that technology is already a major part of BC’s economy, accounting for approximately 9.6 per cent of provincial GDP, employing 271,000 people and contributing roughly $30 billion in wages each year. It has also grown much faster than the rest of the provincial economy over the past five years.
-however, the importance of technology is bigger than the technology sector itself. New technologies are changing how electricity is generated and managed electricity, natural resources are used, goods manufactured, health care and public services delivered, and work organized.
-it believes that green economic policy should help steer innovation toward such purposes rather than treating technological change as an end in itself. This means being clear-eyed about the changes technology can bring. Automation and artificial intelligence can displace or fundamentally change jobs, concentrate economic power, increase surveillance and place new demands on electricity, water and public infrastructure. The benefits of technological change will not necessarily be widely shared on their own. Workers and the public should have a say in how technologies are introduced, and government should be prepared to set rules where private incentives do not align with the public interest.
-at the same time, BC should capture more of the economic value from the technologies developed here. Too many promising companies struggle to reach scale, are acquired before they do, or move elsewhere in search of capital and customers. Public procurement, investment and research have helped create many of the technologies on which modern economies depend. We should use those tools deliberately to help competitive BC companies grow, retain intellectual property and expertise here, and ensure that when public resources help create economic value, British Columbians share in the benefits.

To that end, the party advocates:
-establishing a standing Technology Council to provide the Premier and government with strategic advice on emerging technologies, economic opportunities and barriers to building and retaining technology companies in BC. The Council would meet regularly and publish an annual report, with government required to respond publicly to its recommendations.
-developing a public interest AI Strategy for BC. Artificial intelligence is already changing how people work, how businesses operate and how public services are delivered. It has the potential to provide significant public value, from improving health care and reducing administrative work to managing energy systems and making BC businesses more productive. It also raises serious questions about jobs, privacy, surveillance, misinformation, concentration of economic power and the growing electricity and water demands of AI infrastructure. BC will develop a Public Interest AI Strategy, to identify where and how AI can provide public and economic benefits, while establishing strong protections for privacy, transparency and human oversight. Workers and their unions will have a strong voice in decisions about how AI is introduced in the workplace, with protections against AI surveillance and automated decisions that unfairly affect employment, pay or working conditions. The strategy will also address the risk of job displacement, including worker transition and retraining and the particular challenges automation could create for young and entry-level workers. It will also distinguish between where provincial action can protect people while supporting innovation, and where BC will be better placed to work with other provinces to influence national-level regulation.
-a moratorium on major AI infrastructure until a detailed public-interest audit is developed. This will include consideration of access to electricity and other public resources, the economic value created in BC alongside electricity and water use, impacts on communities and the environment, and demands on other public infrastructure.
-using public procurement to grow BC technology companies.
-investment in promising BC technology companies, including expansion of the mandate of BC’s Strategic Investment Fund to invest alongside private capital in promising BC-headquartered technology and clean-technology companies
-improving how BC measures and reports on its economy, including publish regular information on the size, growth, employment, exports and destination markets for BC technology companies.
-making it easier for workers to change careers. Economic change should not leave people stranded in jobs or industries with shrinking opportunities. As technology, automation and the transition to a low-carbon economy reshape work, BC will build a stronger system to help people move into new careers, including a Career Transition Program providing workers with individualized career advice, skills assessment, training and income support while they prepare for a new occupation.

Transit
The party’s 2026 Economic Vision document states that good transportation infrastructure is good economic policy. Businesses need reliable ways to move goods to markets, workers need to be able to reach jobs, and communities need strong connections to one another. Although historically rail has played large role in providing such connections, today many communities and businesses are almost entirely dependent on highways and private vehicles.
-a renewed rail strategy should move both goods and people. Better freight rail can connect forestry, mining, agriculture and manufacturing businesses to processing facilities, ports and markets. Better passenger rail can expand the places people can reasonably live and work, connect regional labour markets and make smaller communities more attractive places to build a life and a business.
-rail can also help BC build a lower-carbon and more resilient transportation system hile relieving pressure on highways and providing an alternative to driving and short-distance flights, while offering additional transportation options when highways are disrupted by floods, fires and other emergencies.
-BC should treat its rail network as a long-term public asset and plan renewed freight and passenger service to strengthen regional economies.

To that end, the party advocates:
-protecting and revitalizing rail corridors, including development of a province-wide rail strategy identifying routes with long-term economic and transportation value, and keeping these corridors in public ownership. The focus will be on restoring freight service, supporting regional industry and connecting businesses to the broader rail network, and enabling future passenger service.
-reconnecting communities by passenger rail, including development of a long-term plan to rebuild regional passenger rail in BC, prioritizing corridors that can connect communities to major employment, education and service centres and provide a practical alternative to driving.
-making rail work for more BC businesses, including identifying ports and regional industries where where strategic infrastructure investments could open new rail service.-planning industry and rail together.

An Economy to Serve People

The party’s “Action Plan for You” states that it advocates:
-in order to help BC residents with costs, a $1 ,OOO boost for household budgets by means of a middle-class tax cut, each and every year.
-providing affordable homes by cracking down on speculators, thereby helping create 300,000 more homes for the middle-class.
-to create good paying, sustainable jobs, expanding training opportunities for family-supporting jobs while fighting climate change and making polluters pay.
-to save families money on groceries, expanding school meals
-working with schools in every district to deliver affordable before-and-after school care for children 12 years old or younger.
-creating more new childcare spaces, including a new $500 million investment that funds more accessible, affordable spaces + a long-term capital plan.
-free car insurance premiums where they are, while improving your coverage and care.
-cutting home heating and energy costs, including use of rebates for energy-efficiency upgrades.

Housing & Poverty Reduction

The party’s “Action Plan for You” (2026) states that its plan to make homes more available and affordable is starting to work. For next steps, it advocates:
-opening the door for first-time home buyers by reducing up-front costs of buying a home for tens of thousands of first time buyers.
-cracking down on speculators, flippers, and blind bidding, by expanding the speculation tax, clamping down on home flipping, and ending blind bidding.
-increasing construction of lower-cost middle-class homes, by growing the province’s factory-built home industry to build single homes, duplexes, and triplexes on land they already own in as little as 12 weeks.
-prioritizing housing for public land, including building attainable middle-income housing on public land, rather than rewarding rich developers.
-driving more rental home construction, including providing a new municipal infrastructure fund tide to rental housing starts; waiving provincial property taxes for purpose-built new rental projects; and prioritizing new housing around transit stations.
-doubling construction apprenticeship training, including training red-seal certified workers to build tens of thousands of homes
-providing safe, secure housing for everyone, buy bringing the Homeless Encampment Action Response Temporary Housing program to more communities
-barring “no pet” clauses for purpose-built rental apartment buildings

Housing
The party’s 2026 budget states that investment in a healthy and sustainable housing market continues to be a priority for it. Since 2017, it has implemented significant policy changes and committed more than $19 billion in operating and capital to increase support and deliver affordable homes, delivering an estimated 95,000 homes (an average of $200,000 each). The 2026 budget continues such investment at more than $2 billion each year.
-housing measures are focused on middle income housing, affordable rentals, supportive housing, and streamlined approvals. Funding has supported construction, subsidies for non-profit housing operators, and rental supplements.
-its efforts have unlocked more homes by streamlining permitting and zoning, setting new housing targets to accelerate construction in over thirty municipalities, and putting in place laws and taxes to combat speculation and turn the empty units into homes for people. Specific measures include:
•launching BC Builds in February 2024 to fast-track rental housing for middle-income households by leveraging public, community and non-profit owned and underused land and providing low-cost financing, grants, and streamlined approvals.
•introduction of the Home Flipping Tax to discourage short-term property speculation and address inflated housing costs by taxing profits on homes sold within two years.
•allowing small-scale, multi-unit affordable housing, including townhomes, duplexes and triplexes through zoning changes and proactive partnerships.
•measures such as increased property transfer tax exemptions and protection periods to support first-time home buyers.
•providing low-interest loans to colleges and universities to expand student housing.
•introduction of an annual tax credit of up to $400 per year for renters.
•expansding and increasing the Rental Assistance Program (RAP) and Shelter Aid for Elderly Renters (SAFER) supplements. The RAP income cap was increased to $60,000 and the average benefit increased to approximately $700 per month. Senior renters saw SAFER supports increase as the income cap was raised to $40,000 and average monthly payments are now approximately $337.

Slower pace of new housing projects
The party’s 2026 budget further states that it is slowing the pace of new housing projects, including reallocation of nearly $1.4 billion across the fiscal plan.
-of this, the party is reinvesting over $900 million to support demand for existing housing services and programs, including increased funding for non-profit housing operators, assisted-living supports for seniors and people with disabilities, and supporting thousands of new below-market homes through the Attainable Housing Initiative partnership with the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Nations.
-investments in housing continue to be significant and are nearly five times higher than 2016, demonstrating a strong commitment to creating healthy and sustainable housing options for people and communities.

In total, the party’s 2026 budget commits to the following allocations for Housing and Municipal Affairs for the period 2025 through 2029 (in billions of dollars):

2025/26           2026/27           2027/28           2028/29
$1.535B               $1.713B              $1.777B              $1.851B

Labour, Unions & Employment

The party’s 2026 provincial budget states that it has set a target to attract $200 billion in new private sector investments over the next decade, in order to put the province at the forefront of nation building projects and create good jobs. To that end:
-budget 2026 includes $283 million in new funding over three years to support the commitments set out in this plan. Of this, $241 million over three years will double funding for trades training, giving tens of thousands of British Columbians the chance to earn more, build careers, and step into good jobs.
-a new $400 million British Columbia Strategic Investments Special Account will set up co-investment and collaboration with the federal government as it invests billions of dollars to secure Canada’s sovereignty, along with the jobs and economic opportunities these projects will bring.
-to build on three years of progress in speeding up and streamlining permitting, the 2026 budget invests a further $40 million to strengthen permitting capacity across the natural resource and tourism sectors, including removing barriers, delays, and duplication for businesses.
-to support prior investments in building a world-class talent pool focused on technology and innovation, it is introducing a new temporary manufacturing and processing investment tax credit to encourage investments in buildings, machinery and equipment used in manufacturing and processing.
-it proposes to align the B.C. Scientific Research and Experimental Development tax credit with recent federal changes to expand access and encourage businesses to conduct research and development in B.C. and Canada.
-it undertakes to carefully explore the suitability of adopting a patent box regime for the life sciences sector, including offering companies lower taxes on profits generated from research and development that was developed and patented in Canada.

Sustainable Economy

The party’s “Action Plan for You” (2026) states that it sees a path forward to a prosperous, sustainable future for everyone in BC. To that end it advocates:
-making BC a clean-energy superpower, including transitioning from a reliance on fossil fuels to affordable and reliable clean energy, and doubling electricity generation by 2050.
-leveraging the province’s clean energy to attract global investment, including marketing BC to global companies that make climate action a priority, and establishing a fund to leverage oil and gas development revenue for a New Clean Economy
-building out the physical and workforce resources needed by the BC mining industry, including expanding the electricity grid to support mines with clean energy, upgrading key highways in the northwest, and establishing union-led training program to help workers keep pace.
-creating more good-paying forest jobs, including more workers at BC mills, creating a forest value fund to fast-track wood-manufacturing facilities and re-tooling of mills to process second-growth timber, and promoting engineered-wood production.
-building resilience for farmers and farms, including protecting farmers’ crops and livlihoods through a topped-up perennial crop renewal program and expanding the agricultural Extreme Weather Preparedness Fund.
-delivering more protection and less re tape for small businesses, including expanding online dispute resolution through the tribunal to business-landlord disputes, and changing PST filing from quarterly to monthly
-cutting red tape for restaurants, wineries, breweries and distilleries, including modernizing liquor laws and licensing to focus inspection and enforcement resources on higher-risk establishments.
-protecting the rights of BC workers by matching BC’s minimum wage increases with inflation, preventing off-shoring of jobs on public projects, and increased protections for temporary foreign workers.

Economic Growth and Security
The party’s 2026 budget states that with continued uncertainty from U.S. tariff threats, it has been working to unlock major projects, create jobs, prepare and train a skilled workforce, support resource development, mitigate against the impacts of climate change, enable strong economic partnerships between First Nations and businesses, and invest in homes people can afford.
-to unlock federal and private sector investments, the budget allocates $400 million in funding for the new British Columbia Strategic Investments Special Account, inorder to enable the province to work collaboratively with the federal government as it invests billions of dollars to secure Canada’s sovereignty, jobs, and economic opportunities. Investments are to build on B.C.’s strengths in clean energy, value-added forestry, manufacturing, responsible mining, life sciences, AI and quantum, maritime sector and aerospace, and clean technologies.

The party has released no further official statement concerning its policies on:
–  the importance or development of rural communities
– immigration and newcomers

Indigenous Rights & Relations

The party’s 2026 Economic Vision documents states that:
-BC’s future should be focused on improving people’s lives, making the essentials of a good life more affordable, reducing inequality and ensuring that rising prosperity is broadly shared, and built with First Nations as full participants in shaping the economy, with greater ownership, decision-making power and opportunities to build wealth, consistent with Indigenous rights and title.
-the province’s future is inseparable from the economic future of First Nations, which have the rights of governments, landholders, business owners, investors and employers, and part of every major sector of the civic life. Decisions about forestry, mining, electricity, infrastructure, housing, tourism and regional development all intersect with First Nations territories, economies and institutions.
-for First Nations, economic prosperity relies on resolving access to and governance over land, and having the same opportunities as all other people and governments.
-significant progress toward Indigenous self-determination and economic progress has been made, but the work is far from finished. To that end the party supports the continued implementation of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA), and the useful blueprint provided by the National Indigenous Economic Strategy, which recommends removing barriers to Indigenous access to capital, supporting Indigenous-led institutions, improving infrastructure and connectivity, expanding equity ownership and resource-revenue sharing, and increasing Indigenous representation in economic decision-making.
-there is no single Indigenous economy, and it is not the Province’s role to design one. Indigenous people and nations have their own priorities, institutions and economic goals.

Rural Communities & Regions

As one of four key economic areas the party advocates focusing on, the party identifies the building of strong regional economies.
-in particular, the party advocates ensuring that most of the wealth created through local work, natural resources and public investment remain in the communities where it is generated. This would allow people to build secure lives in their communities, with access to good work, essential services and opportunities to own and shape local economic assets.
-strong regional economies would promote small and medium-sized businesses, locally owned enterprises and new entrepreneurs alongside larger employers and public institutions. A community with many sources of employment, ownership and investment is better able to adapt when industries change and more likely to keep wealth circulating locally.
-to promote strength in such economies, the party advocates ensuring that every region has the capacity to build on its own strengths, support the people and businesses already rooted there, respond to local challenges and retain a fair share of the value it creates.

To that end, the party advocates:
-to help small business start, grow, and stay local,
*introducing province-wide commercial rent protections for businesses
*granting municipalities the power to tax vacant commercial properties
*helping communities and businesses own their premises, including by giving rights of first refusal when premises are offered for sale
*reviewing regulations, permits, licences, etc. for unnecessary complexity and disproportionate impacts on smaller businesses, without weakening protections for workers, consumers or the environment.
-using the purchasing power of public anchor institutions to strengthen local supply chains, expand opportunities for smaller suppliers and generate wider community benefits, including by:
*making public contracts accessible to smaller suppliers, e.g., dividing contracts into smaller components and encouraging local partnerships
*building local supply through the use of multi-year procurement pipelines, etc.
*requiring public tenders to give weight to local commitments such as hiriing, training, etc.
-empowering regions to shape their own economies, including by:
*builiding on regional institutions that aare already successful, such as local economic trusts and other organizations
*establishing a framework for regional economic development
*connecting regional priorities to provincial decisions
*involving First Nations in planning
*ensuring stable funding and capacity
*creating flexible regional investment funds
-growing toursim around the province’s natural advantages
 

The party has released no further official statement concerning its policies on:
-support for individuals facing mental health or addictions challenges

The party’s 2026 budget states that it has completed development of guiding policies and criteria and will formally launch the First Nations Equity Financing Program in spring 2026, to help ensure that provincial equity loan guarantees and other tools are responsive to First Nation investment priorities. This will be driven by value for both First Nations and the Province and reinforced by robust financial due diligence while being sustainable and affordable within the overall provincial fiscal plan.
-the Province is currently engaged in early work for projects in the energy sector, and anticipates receiving other shared interest project proposals of varying sizes and sectors, as they become ready. The Province intends to establish a total cumulative loan guarantee limit of $1 billion for the special account, which will be reviewed annually.

In total, the party’s 2026 budget commits to the following allocations for Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation for the period 2025 through 2029 (in millions of dollars):

Role and Purpose of Government; Values

The party’s Policy Philosophy & Process page on its website states that rather than beginning with ideology and then searching for evidence to support predetermined conclusions, it begins with values, evidence, and meaningful consultation.
-its goal is not to promise everything to everyone, or to craft policies that generate headlines, inflame divisions, or win short-term political points. Its goal is to develop practical solutions that improve the lives of British Columbians and stand up to serious scrutiny.
-it was founded on the belief that good policy emerges when diverse perspectives are brought to the same table. That means listening to experts, stakeholders, communities, and everyday British Columbians who are directly affected by the challenges we face.
-each policy proposal considered bu oit is evaluated through a consistent framework that asks fundamental questions:

• Does it reflect our values of balance, fairness, and responsibility?
• Is it supported by credible evidence and sound analysis?
• Is it fiscally responsible and sustainable?
• Can it realistically be implemented?
• Will it leave British Columbia stronger for future generations?

-it believes that voters deserve more than politics driven by ideology, outrage, or endless opposition. While some parties focus primarily on criticizing their opponents, CentreBC is focused on building solutions.

Courts & Public Safety

-implementing an evidence-led 3-step plan to tackle the rising extortion threates facing local businessses.
-establishment of an integrated FINTRAC-RCMP-CBSA cell in Surrey to map money flos, fast-track production orders, and freeze assets within hours, not weeks.

-creating an extortion docket and specialized Crown team to move complex, multi-accused files faster, combining criminal-organization and terrorist entity tools.

The party has published no current statement concerning its policies relating to:
-services, stewardship or reform
-intergovernmental relations

Services, Stewardship & Reform 

The party advocates:
– not privatizing or otherwise outsourcing personal information collection and storage to organizations outside the province.
– not disposing of Crown corporations and assets, such as BC Hydro, without the permission of the voting public via referendum
– a thorough review of the role of ICBC and implement any recommendations to improve ICBC including allowing competition.
– encouraging private companies to locate in British Columbia and employ the residents of British Columbia by providing the infrastructure that they need and tax rates that are competitive with other jurisdictions.

Democratic Reform

The party states that:
– its 6-point plan for representative democracy would give the citizens of the province control over their government and the power to over-rule any decisions their government makes
– its reforms would enshrined in a BC Constitution so that every future government of British Columbia would be obligated to maintain its accountability to the citizens
– Governments need not be afraid to enact legislation to implement their policies if they have a mandate from the voters to do so. However, the citizens of British Columbia must have the final authority on all matters pertaining to their province

The party advocates introduction of a new provincial constitution including the following measures:
– direct election of the premier, using a system of Preferential Balloting
– separation of the Premier’s office from the Legislative Assembly in order to make the Executive branch of government accountable directly to the citizens of British Columbia
– introduction of preferential balloting, to ensure that each MLA and the Premier are elected by a majority vote and end “vote splitting.” No MLA would ever again be elected without receiving the support of at least 50% of his or her constituents who vote.
– ensure that all members of the BC Legislature are free to vote, independently of their political party on all bills introduced in the Legislature
– implementing effective recall legislation, giving the voters in every constituency a reasonable opportunity to “fire” their MLA in a recall referendum if that MLA is found guilty of illegal activity or immoral conduct or is deemed by his or her constituents to have failed to represent them.  A “recall referendum” shall be held in any Constituency where at least 33% of the eligible voters registered in that Constituency sign a petition requesting a “recall referendum” within a 3-month time limit starting not sooner than 12 months after the last election. The referendum shall be held within 3 to 6 months of the petition being received by Elections BC, provided the signatures can be authenticated, and the MLA shall be dismissed from office and the office declared vacant if over 50% of the voters who vote in the recall referendum vote in favour of recall. Only one recall vote per incumbent, per term will be allowed.  The Government shall hold a by-election to fill any vacancy not less than 3 months and not more than 6 months after the office is declared vacant as the result of a recall referendum or in the event of the death, incapacitation or resignation of the incumbent. The incumbent who was recalled may seek re-election in the by-election that follows.
– implementing effective recall legislation for the Premier, with all registered voters in the province being entitled to vote in the recall, utilizing the same rules that apply to the recall of MLA’s except on a province wide basis.
– fixed terms for both the Premier and the members of the Legislative assembly, with no provision for an early election unless they are removed from office by recall referendum, or by the death, incapacitation or resignation of the incumbent(s)
– elimination of the “Vote of No Confidence,” which will no longer be required, since governments will serve for fixed terms and will be accountable directly to the citizens of British Columbia through the “Recall Legislation”. It will no longer be possible for an opposition party to defeat the Government for its own political gain. However, the entire legislature might “resign” by holding a simple majority vote to dissolve the Legislature and hold an election. Such a vote would not affect the term of Premier or the Cabinet
– citizens’ initiatives:  amending Citizens’ Initiative Legislation to allow citizens of BC power to repeal any law 4 passed by their provincial government or to force their government to implement a new law
– notwithstanding clause:  implementation of a constitutional “notwithstanding clause”): allowing the provincial government to block any ruling any judge makes requiring either the Provincial or Federal Government to change the laws governing the residents of British Columbia. Each such implementation being subject to repeal by the citizens of British Columbia, if they wish to have the judge’s ruling implemented
– campaign financing:  banning campaign contributions from any corporation, union or other special interest group and limiting the amount of contributions by individuals (registered voters only) to no more than $5,000 per year; and making it illegal to use money received from a third party to make political contributions
– uniform election dates: in order to minimize expenses, A Christian Heritage Party of BC Government will hold elections for all provincially elected offices and posts on the same date as the general election every four years. This schedule would not change if a government has to stand for election at another time due to a nonconfidence vote.
– election of federal senators, including n equal Senate to address the uneven distribution of Canada’s population and provide a balance to safeguard provincial interests, and holding of elections to fill the seats in the Senate that are reserved for British Columbia.

Constitutional Commission

To ensure that the above provisions along with other features of our system of democracy and our rights as citizens may not be ignored by any future governments, the party advocates:
– appointment of a commission to develop, approve and implement a common-sense BC Constitution, by the people and for the people
– requiring the commission to consult with the citizens of British Columbia before recommending the wording of the constitution to the Government
– causing the Government to then hold a binding referendum, asking the citizens of British Columbia to approve their new constitution
– including a provision the constitution may only be amended by a majority vote of the Citizens of British Columbia in a province wide referendum

Fiscal Reform
With respect to taxes, the party advocates:
– a complete review of all provincial taxation to be completed within one year of taking office
– a parallel review of provincial government expenditures to be completed at the same time to determine where costs can be cut so that taxes can be reduced
– as soon as possible after these two reviews are completed, submission of two proposals for a provincial tax structure to the voters, and allowing them to choose one of the two options in a binding referendum. The two options will be:  a. a single rate income tax, or b. a single rate consumption tax (a tax on spending instead of income).
– no matter which tax system the voters choose, endeavouring to have the lowest provincial personal taxation rates in Canada.  If the voters choose a single rate income tax, the current “Graduated Income Tax” will be replaced by a “Single Rate of Personal Income Tax” with a generous basic exemption to ensure that no low income individual pays more under the new system than they would have under the old system.  If the voters choose the consumption tax, the current maze of taxes, including the HST, the carbon tax and a host of other taxes will be eliminated and replaced with one 6 single, visible tax on consumption. Certain basic necessities will be exempted so that low income earners will not be penalized for purchasing the essentials for survival.
– no matter which tax system the voters choose, continuing to collect royalties on publicly owned assets such as timber, petroleum and minerals

The party further advocates:
– promoting job creation by removing unnecessary regulations on small and large businesses
– promoting freer trade in goods and services between the provinces and territories in Canada, and encouraging Municipalities, Universities, Colleges, Technical Institutions, Schools and Hospitals to adopt the same policy
– enactment of balanced budget legislation, which includes overrides for declared provincial emergencies
– using any budgetary surpluses to pay down the huge provincial debt, which places a burden on the shoulders of our children and grandchildren

– establishment of “Zero Based Budgeting” for provincial expenditures in order to ensure that the Provincial Government Departments are basing their budget estimations on actual requirements instead of setting them as an increase over the previous year’s expenditures, and to discourage government departments from spending money unnecessarily near the end of the fiscal year in order to ensure that their budget allotment is maintained or increased for the following year
– eliminating the BC Property Transfer Tax
– holding a referendum to obtain permission from the taxpayers before introducing any new taxes or appreciably increasing any existing taxes
– establishing and adhering to generally accepted accounting principles for government as outlined by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants

Provinces, Territories, Municipalities

National Unity
The party states that:
– the values most Canadians share in all the provinces and territories, which are part of our great Canadian heritage are greater that the values on which we are divided
– it supports Provincial Premier’s 1997 declaration in Calgary, stating, “Canada’s gift of diversity includes aboriginal peoples and cultures, the vitality of the English and French languages and a multicultural citizenry, drawn from all parts of the world”, and respecting the statement in the Premier’s declaration, “Canada is a federal system where federal, provincial and territorial governments work in partnership while respecting each other’s jurisdiction. Canadians want their governments to work together for the protection and wellbeing of all our citizens.”
– it believes that all Canadians should have the freedom to travel freely, and to move to any location in the Country, to work, to vacation or to retire wherever they desire in this great land. It also believes that they should be fully entitled to all the benefits offered by the Government of any province where they choose to live and that they should have a reasonable expectation that those benefits will be similar, no matter which province they choose to live in.  It will fight for the standardization of benefits throughout the Country so that this type of disparity is eliminated.

The party advocates:
– ensuring that the five basic principles of the Canada Health Act are applied throughout Canada, even though the administration of health services comes under provincial jurisdiction. Residents of any province or territory who require medical assistance or services while visiting elsewhere in Canada should have as full and equal access to all health care facilities and services as residents of the province or territory in which the need for such services is required.
– the following federal policy priorities, in seeking to promote national unity:  a) The Federal government should work with the provinces to reinforce Canadian economic union through the Inter-provincial Trade Agreement.  b) The Inter-provincial Trade Commission should be given authority by the Federal Government to initiate and carry out policies derived from the Inter-provincial Trade Agreement.  c) The Federal Government should take a leadership role in eliminating inter-provincial trade barriers in commerce, labour and capital mobility.
– establishing provincial control over:
•  Natural Resources (Oil, Natural Gas, Coal, etc), including control over and revenue from offshore resources both in the sea and under the sea.
• Forestry
• Health Care
• Education, including Post Secondary Education.
• Taxation
• Immigration to British Columbia from outside of Canada.
• A Provincial Police Force to replace the RCMP, with authority similar to the OPP and the QPP
– a Federal “Triple E” Senate to give B.C. residents a greater share in the decision making in the Federal Government.
– co-operating with the Federal Government to amend the Federal Constitution to include Property Rights, as well as to guarantee that no person shall be deprived of their just rights without due process of law and full, just and timely compensation.

Courts & Public Safety

The party advocates:
– reforming the provincial legal system to ensure the protection of the public, restore punishment as a deterrent to crime and dispense justice in a timely manner
– mandatory restitution for non-violent property crime and enaction of “proceeds from crime legislation”, to assist in providing compensation to victims of crime
– creation and publication, on the government website, of a record of the cases handled, and sentences handed down, for each individual judge
– creation of a recall process whereby judges who are “soft on crime” or otherwise fail to dispense justice fairly can be relieved of their duties by the voters.
– creation of a commission, consisting of judges and ordinary citizens, charged with reviewing sentencing guidelines and proposing any changes to the Parliament of Canada for adoption.
– considering impaired driving as an endangerment of the public and on the second offence possible forfeiture of the vehicle if it is registered to the driver and prison time for anyone that is convicted of this offence.
– recommending to the federal government that any person who is not a citizen of Canada and who is convicted of a violent crime in British Columbia be deported to his or her country of origin immediately after release from prison. They should be escorted directly from the prison to the airport and placed on the first available flight to their country of origin.
– elimination of the BC Human Rights Tribunal, which is currently being used unfairly by special interests to harass our citizens and coerce them into silence on important issues.  Complainants currently have free, unfettered access to the Tribunal while the defendants have no such assistance and must incur a huge expense to defend themselves. The decisions handed down by this Tribunal are final and not subject to review in a court of law.  The Human Rights Tribunal is not necessary and will be disbanded, since aggrieved groups and individuals have sufficient recourse through the court system. A CHP-BC Government will work to dismantle the Human Rights Tribunal and repeal the enabling legislation which supports it.

The Role & Purpose of Government

The party’s constitution states that it is founded on and will be guided by these principles:
-good government: Ethical, accountable, and fiscally responsible, ensuring the rule of law, individual freedoms, and minimal taxation.
-individual liberty: Recognizing the inherent value of every person, upholding their fundamental rights to life, liberty and freedom of expression.
-social responsibility: Providing a strong safety net for the vulnerable while encouraging self-sufficiency.
-free-enterprise economy: Championing a competitive economy with private property rights to foster prosperity and entrepreneurial spirit
-collaboration: Supporting like-minded organizations and elect representatives at other levels of government.

Stewardship & Reform

Democratic Reform
The party’s 2025 Policy Declaration states that:
-MLAs should be empowered to best represent the interests of their constituents.
-it will abolish all Freedom of Information request fees, except fines for individuals or organizations who attempt to abuse the system
-it will ban “In-the-Family” lobbying, and will penalize any lobbying of MLAs or senior government officials by family members for personal or familial profit, and prevent registration of such individuals as lobbyists.

Taxes & Financial Reform
The party’s 2026 Policy Declaration states that:
-every tax dollar collected by the provincial government is received in trust, and must be managed and accounted for according to the highest standards of integrity and transparency. The people’s scrutiny of all spending decisions should be encouaged and welcomed.
-it undertakes to enact legislation requiring one dollar of budget savings to match each dollar of non-essential spending.
-it advocates a return to balanced provincial budgets at the earliest practical opportunity.
-it undertakes to maintain balanced budgets over the long term, except in times of extraordinary circumstances such as provincial emergencies or economic recessions, with a clear plan for recover to fiscal balance in such cases.
-all existing and planned programs administered by the provincial government, including Crown Corporations, must be reviewed to determine whether they are meeting performance and accountability benchmarks, adhering to best practices, and respection the tax revenues.
-the party undertakes to:
*scrap the carbon tax
*repeal all harmful taxes, licenses, fees, and permits created by the current government

In an online policy statement dated 27 September 2026, the party pleged never to raise taxes on British Columbians. The party states that under the currrent government, which campaigned on “taxing the rich,” raised the lowest income tax rate from 5.06% to 5.60%, hurting every worker in the province; and announced an expansion of the 7 percent PST and eliminated several PST exemptions, then paused the expansion on the eve of an election, leaving the policy on the books and ready to return.

Provinces, Territories, Municipalities 

The party’s March 2025 policy declaration states that the party:
-undertakes to delegate and devolve poewrs and authorities away from the provincial government and towards local governments where appropriate, practical, and in the best interests of BC.

Equalization Payments
The party’s 2025 Policy Declaration states that the present structure of the Federal Equalization Program, which sees money transferred from BC to other provinces to fund social programs which are not available or left underfunded in BC, is unfair.
-the party advocates a comprehensive review of the equalization formula and action to ensure that fairness is restored.

Courts & Public Safety

The party’s 2025 Policy Declaration advocates:
-restoring law and order by reversing policies that have favoured criminals over BC residents.

Stopping Crime
The party’s 2025 Policy Declaration advocates:
-defending the police in the performance of their duties
-hiring more front-line officers in provincially-funded forces
-hiring more sheriffs and judges to clear massive court backlogs; increasing pay and fully funding essential equipment, including safety and protective equipment.
-ending catch-and-release, cracking down on bail offenders, and toughening Charge Assessment Guidelines.
-establishing mandatory minimum sentences for violent offenders
-creating a new court to try small criminal offenses within 1 week of arrest, rather than the current 12-18 months, while upholding the right to choice of counsel
-making audio recordings of court proceedings available online
-strengthening legislation to streamline the justice system and promote timely access to justice for all families, individuals, and businesses
-updating prosecution guidelines to ensure maximum penalties are sought for violent crime and against children and seniors; and protecting seniors from digital fraud and scams through targeted awareness and education programs
-strengthening legislation requiring compensation from convicted persons to their victims
-repealing the Legal Professions Act (2024)

Drug offenses
The party’s 2025 Policy Declaration advocates:
-ending drug decriminalization and rejecting the Eby-Trudeau legalization experiment
-enforcing mandatory mental health treatment for those who pose dangers to themselves or others
-removing dangerous tent cities by moving occupants to appropriate support services and enforcing zero tolerance for tent cities on provincially-owned properties
-zero tolerance for crimes and nuisances in government-funded housing facilities, so that social housing facilities are good neighbours or are defunded
-ending ‘safe supply’ operations, halting government involvement in distribution, and pursuing illegal sources with renewed urgency
-funding abstinence-based treatment and recovery as an option available to everyone
-ensuring wide availability of Nasal Naloxone, in order to prioritize life-saving
-integrating addictions treatment to the correctional healthcare system
-removing financial barriers to detox treatments, in order to protect supportive families
-building regional recovery communities, with professional care and guidance for those recovering from addictions

In addition, an online policy statement dated 6 October 2026 states that BC is the most beautiful place in the world, but its communities have been devastated by crime. People don’t feel safe going downtown anymore. Families have to share parks and walking paths with chronic drug users who have been captured by horrific drugs like fentanyl.

To make the streets safe, the party advocates:
-Ending street disorder by deploying more police to the hardest-hit neighbourhoods.
-Improving access to mental health care by expanding psychiatric services, crisis response and residential treatment.
-Introducing compassionate intervention so that people whose severe addiction, mental illness or brain injury are taken off the street and into care.
-Empowering police to enforce the Mental Health Act and amend the Act so officers can connect people with mandatory treatment.
-Hiring and deploying 250 more police officers by expanding the JIBC Police Academy.
-Adding 500 RCMP officers and 150 civilian staff over five years to restore policing in rural and regional communities where crime is rampant.
-Hiring 50 new Crown prosecutors, work with Ottawa to fund 20 more trial judges, and add sheriff and court capacity so criminals no longer walk free because of delays.
-Ending the NDP’s failed “safe supply” experiment and expand access to naloxone.
-Stopping illegal drug use in hospitals, shelters and publicly funded supportive housing, so residents and staff are protected.
-Reporting public safety results openly, tracking repeat offending, bail compliance, court delays, treatment access and long-term recovery.

Role & Purpose of Government

The party’s constitution states that its purposes include:
-advocating for progressive behaviour by individuals and corporations whereby they make morally equitable decisions, guided by a set of socially, economically and environmentally just rules.
-upholding the 6 core green principles:
● Participatory Democracy: working to create proportionally elected governments that represent and engage citizens;
● Sustainability: using natural resources wisely to protect the rights and needs of future generations;
● Social Justice: acknowledging that all humans have a fundamental right to health, wellbeing, and freedom;
● Respect for Diversity: protecting and valuing all cultures and individuals while conserving variety in the natural world;
● Ecological Wisdom: learning to live within the physical and biological limits of our Earth and to protect its life-giving nature;
● Non-Violence: safeguarding people’s security and freedom through cooperation and consensus building.

The party’s 2026 Economic Vision document states that:
instead of trying to cover every issue facing the province, it takes on one central question: how the province build an economy that makes more, keeps more, and shares more with the people and communities who create its wealth?
-its answer centres on four things: strengthening regional economies, electrifying the provinicial economy, creating and retaining more value in BC, and making sure prosperity reaches everyone who helps build it.
-housing, health care, education, corporate accountability, poverty reduction, labour rights, biodiversity, and climate action are core party priorities.
-it should be the role of government to shape the economy and markets for everyone’s collective future. It can invest in people and communities where private capital will not, coordinate action across sectors and regions and ensure that economic development serves long-term public interest goals.

Services, Stewardship & Reform 

Sharing Prosperity
The party’s 2026 Economic Vision document advocates a tax system that rewards work, productive investment and entrepreneurship, while treating different ways of building wealth fairly. People who earn their living through work pay tax as they earn it. For those with very large fortunes, wealth can grow by millions of dollars as businesses, shares and other assets appreciate, without those gains being taxed as income unless they are realized.

Wealth Tax
The party states that:
-extreme wealth should contribute to the society and economy that make that wealth possible, just as people who build their lives through work already do. Our tax system should reflect people’s ability to contribute, regardless of whether their economic gains come through a paycheque or the growing value  of assets they already own.
-the way people build wealth is changing. Most British Columbians still rely on income from work to pay their bills and build financial security, while a growing share of wealth is accumulated through appreciating assets. In 2025 alone, Canadian household wealth grew by more than $1 trillion, largely because of increases in the value of financial assets.
-wealth is also extraordinarily concentrated. The Parliamentary Budget Officer estimates that the richest one per cent of Canadian economic families hold approximately 24 per cent of the country’s net wealth. The richest 10 per cent hold more than half. The bottom 40 per cent collectively hold just 3.3 per cent.
-taxation is partially about raising revenue for public services but just as importantly it’s about driving behaviours and building an economy that works for everyone – not international extractors.
-when all forms of income and wealth are treated more equally, and people receive value for money for their tax dollars, the social contract implicit in taxation is well understood and has broad support. Challenges arise when people consider they are paying more than others, or receiving fewer services than they expected. Without reform, the increasing tax burden placed on middle-income earners, the lack of fairness with the very wealthy, and the strain on public services are create resentment, radicalization, and growing incentives for people to leave the province.
-BC’s own-source revenues have dropped from 19 per cent of GDP to 15 per cent of GDP since 2001. This represents $18.7 billion in forgone revenues annually. A fairer tax system can keep more money circulating through the economy and give more British Columbians the financial security to start businesses, pursue education, buy homes, change jobs and take risks.
-combined with the industrial strategy in this vision, tax reform can help build an economy where prosperity comes increasingly from creating things of value, including productive businesses, new ideas, skilled work and strong communities. The measure of a successful economy should be how many people have the opportunity to build wealth, and wealth tax reform will help support this vision.
-a goal is an economy where the circumstances of your birth play a smaller role in determining the opportunities available to you, and where more people can build businesses, own homes, take risks and create financial security through their own efforts.

To put more of BC’s wealth to work for the public, the party advocates asking more from extreme accumulated wealth, windfall gains and speculation, and using the revenue raised to help restore BC’s fiscal position, sustain strong public services and make long-term investments that expand opportunity and strengthen the economy. This includes:
-introducing a one-time tax on extreme wealth, including applying a one-time progressive tax to net wealth above $50 million, with higher rates on larger fortunes. This would bring a portion of the extraordinary wealth accumulated outside the income tax system into the tax base, raising an estimated $22.2 billion from approximately 0.1 per cent of BC families. This revenue would give BC significant capacity to strengthen its fiscal position and invest in the infrastructure, public services and economic transformation the province needs.
-establishing an annual tax on extreme wealth. Following the one-time levy, a smaller annual progressive tax on extreme net wealth above $50 million would bring very large stocks of wealth into the tax base on an ongoing basis, so that the tax system better reflects people’s economic resources regardless of whether their gains come through income or the growing value of assets they already own. Annual rates would be designed to remain below typical long-run investment returns, so that even those subject to the tax can continue growing their wealth.
-closing loophoples. A wealth tax will only work if it is designed to limit opportunities for avoidance. The OECD’s review of net wealth taxes shows that broad exemptions, weak valuation rules and limited transparency can erode the tax base and undermine the effectiveness of the tax. The OECD recommends measures including clear valuation rules, transparency around trusts, stronger reporting and information exchange, and regular evaluation. BC will establish a dedicated tax-design and enforcement process alongside the introduction of the wealth tax to identify and close avoidance opportunities, including reviewing the treatment of different asset classes, trusts, debt and residency under the tax, strengthening information-sharing with other governments, and regularly assessing whether exemptions or reliefs are being used for purposes they were not intended to serve. Where effective enforcement depends on information or authority held outside the province, BC will pursue federal and interprovincial cooperation.

Promoting growth
The party advocates changing the tax system to do a better job of rewarding investments that will benefit the provincial economy, including increased reliance on on taxes that do less to discourage new building and investment, and making sure large companies and resource projects contribute fairly when they earn exceptional returns.

To that end the party advocates:
-shifting towards land value taxation, i.e. shifting property taxes away from buildings and towards the underlying value of land. Taxing land value more heavily could make it more attractive to build apartments and other housing on valuable, underused land, particularly in communities facing housing shortages.
-capturing more public value from BC’s resources. BC’s forests, minerals, natural gas and other publicly owned resources are a major source of wealth. British Columbians should receive a fair return when companies profit from their development. It advocates pursuing the Province’s original objective of collecting 50 per cent of net profits after production costs, with clear rules for allowable costs and public reporting on the royalties actually collected. The difference is substantial: for 2027/28, the Province forecasts approximately $1.14 billion in natural gas royalties, while an estimate based on achieving the original 50 per cent objective would generate approximately $4.09 billion — a difference of nearly $3 billion in a single year.
-making large, profitable corporations pay their fair share, including establishing a minimum effective tax for large corporations, working with the federal government where needed, so that tax preferences cannot be stacked to drive their provincial corporate income tax below a reasonable floor. Canadians for Tax Fairness have called for similar changes, and the OECD has published on how deductions, accelerated depreciation and other features of corporate tax systems can create a significant gap between statutory and effective tax rates.
-taxing extraordinary corporate profits during periods of crisis, including a temporary excess-profits tax when major economic disruptions, such as wars, energy shortages or other crises, allow large companies to earn profits far above their normal levels through circumstances they did not create. The tax will apply only to profits substantially above a company’s average profits in preceding years, protecting normal returns and incentives to invest. Similar approaches have been used internationally, including the European Union’s temporary levy on windfall profits during the energy crisis. Revenue raised will help offset the costs that the same disruption imposes on households and the public.
-acting on excessive profits in essential markets. British Columbians should not be forced to pay inflated prices for goods and services they cannot do without. Building on BC’s fuel-price transparency regime, the Province will require large firms in essential sectors such as groceries and other highly concentrated consumer markets to disclose the costs, margins and fees behind the prices they charge. Where prices or margins are excessive, BC will set limits on what companies can charge and strengthen oversight of fees and markups. Companies that evade these rules or continue to earn extraordinary profits at consumers’ expense will face penalties, including targeted excess-profits taxes where appropriate. We will also press the federal government to take equivalent action in federally regulated sectors such as banking and telecommunications

The party has published no further specific statement of its policies relating to:
-Provinces, Territories, Municipalities
-Courts & Public Safety

The Role and Purpose of Government

The party’s constitution states that the party believes that social, economic and political progress in Canada can only be assured by the application of democratic socialist principles to government and the administration of public affairs, and that its principles of democratic socialism can be defined as:
-the production and distribution of goods and services shall be directed to meeting the social and individual needs of people and not for profit;
-the modification and control of the operations of monopolistic productive and distributive organizations through economic and social planning shall be directed towards these ends; and
-where necessary, the extension of the principle of social ownership.

The party’s constitution further states that the the party:
-holds firm to the belief that the dignity, freedom and equality of the individual is a basic right that must be maintained and extended.
-is proud to be associated with the democratic socialist parties of the world and to share in the struggle for peace, international co-operation and the abolition of poverty.

Budget & Fiscal Responsibility
The party’s 2026 provincial budget states that it has made realistic choices to raise revenue, making the public sector more efficient to ensure more dollars are spent wisely. At the same time, it has focused on protecting services, keeping taxes low for working families, and strengthening B.C.’s finances for the long term.

The budget highlights the following as services targeted for protection in the face of austerity measures:
-primary care and healthcare, with over $2.8 billion in new funding over three years to protect, strengthen and expand the provincial health care system, including acute care, community care, long-term care, mental health and addictions, and services provided through regional health authorities and other service delivery agencies. The budget also includes $131 million in new funding for mental health and addictions treatments, implementing recommendations made by the government’s Chief Scientific Officer.
-increasing Student Supports, with new funding of $634 million, over three years, for the K-12 school system. This includes funding for the Classroom Enhancement Fund for additional teachers, special education teachers, and teacher psychologists and counsellors for students with support needs.
-child care, including continuation of historic investments by investing $330 million over three years to promote affordable child care through programs like the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative; and $25 million in capital and operating spending over the next three years for school districts to expand before and after school care
-children and youth with support needs, including $475 million in new funding over three years for direct funding to families, strengthening services, expanding choice for families, and improving coordination across health, education, and community systems. A more flexible, streamlined, and equitable system, better aligned with the diverse needs of children and youth, will be delivered.
-making communities safer, including $139 million over three years to provide community-specific supports to respond to public safety concerns related to repeat, violent offenders and chronic property crime in B.C. communities – including the new Chronic Property Offending Intervention, and continued efforts to ensure police have resources to combat extortion threats, supports for victims, and expandsion of the Provincial Forensic Firearms Lab to help accelerate investigations and charge approvals.

Expense Management
The party’s 2026 budget further states that it continues the important work of reviewing spending to achieve expenditure management targets and ensure public program and service delivery is efficient, effective and affordable over the long term.
-it has exceeded initial targets set in Budget 2025 through operational savings and program moderation.
-for 2026, this includes a commitment to reduce the size of the public sector by 15,000 FTEs over the three-year fiscal plan. By making careful choices and reinvesting savings into protecting core services, new funding in Budget 2026 is at levels more comparable to pre-pandemic Budget 2020.

Taxation
The party’s 2026 budget states that it has taken careful decisions in 2026 to increase provincial revenue by updating tax programs to reflect the current economy, get better results for people, and prevent cuts to critical services. The 2026 budget:
-increases the tax rate of the first (lowest) income tax bracket by 0.54 percentage points, while offsetting the extra cost for lower-income earners.
-pauses tax bracket indexing from 2027 through 2030.
-states that personal income tax revenue is expected to grow 1.6 per cent in 2026/27 reflecting tax increases, particularly in the lowest braket, increases in taxpayer wages and salaries, investment income and improved financial market indicators, partly offset by the effect of a one-time prior year adjustment included in 2025/26.|
-anticipates an average annual increase of 6.2 per cent over the next two years, in line with projected increases in household income and the estimated impacts of new tax measures.
-tax measures implemented by the 2026 budget include a rate increase in the lowest tax bracket, from 5.06% to 5.60%, with steady rates in all other tax brackets

Corporate Income Tax
The party’s 2026 budget states that corporate income tax revenue is expected to decrease 3.9 per cent in 2026/27 mainly due to a significant one time settlement payment received in 2025/26 that does not carry forward. An average annual increase of 3.3 per cent is expected over the two years of the fiscal plan.

Natural resource revenue
The party’s 2026 budget states that
-natural gas royalties revenue growth is expected to average 18.6 per cent annually over the three-year fiscal plan mainly due to increased royalties from natural gas liquids, higher natural gas prices and production volumes. Natural gas royalty rates are sensitive to prices in the $1.22 to $2.82 ($Cdn/gigajoule, plant inlet) range, with the effective royalty rate expected to rise as prices increase. The forecast assumes an average natural gas price of $2.18 ($Cdn/gigajoule, plant inlet) in 2026/27, up from $1.12 in 2025/26.
-mining and minerals revenue is forecast to increase 32.6 per cent in 2026/27 mainly due to higher tax revenue reflecting higher coal production volume and commodity prices. Over the following two years, revenue is projected to increase at a 28.2 per cent annual average rate mainly due to improved mine profitability and higher commodity prices.
-over the four years to 2028/29, the forecast assumes payments of $272 million to First Nations in support of mining revenue sharing agreements.
-revenue from electricity sales under the Columbia River Treaty is relatively flat over the three year fiscal plan mainly reflecting higher Mid Columbia electricity prices, offset by the impacts of a weaker U.S. dollar.

Provincial Debt

The party’s 2026 budget states that:
-government obtains financing from outside sources mainly through debt instruments that are to be repaid on future dates. Total provincial debt is projected to increase by $80.5 billion over the fiscal plan period to $234.6 billion by 2028/29.
-taxpayer-supported debt is forecast to increase by $72.5 billion to $189.0 billion by 2028/29 to finance the operating deficits and significant investments in capital infrastructure over the next three years, including $5.7 billion borrowed for education projects, $8.5 billion for health facilities, $15.7 billion for transportation sector projects, $2.9 billion for social housing and $2.6 billion for other service delivery agencies and general government.
-with increasing debt levels, government’s debt servicing costs are expected to increase over the fiscal plan period. A common metric of affordability is the interest bite, or the taxpayer-supported interest cost as a percentage of revenue, which is forecast at 4.9 per cent in 2025/26 and reaches 8.2 per cent by 2028/29.

BC Public Service Staffing
The party’s prior budget (2024) stated that that:
– as of April 2023, there were just over 520,000 people working across the provincial public sector, including the core Public Service, Crown corporations, health, community social services, K-12 public education, post-secondary institutions, and research universities.
– of those people, approximately 404,000 are unionized employees paid under collective agreements or professionals paid through negotiated compensation agreements.
– the 2022 Shared Recovery Mandate helped government prepare for future needs and challenges, as well as ensuring there are resources to continue to invest in building a stronger economic province
– the 2024/25 fiscal year marks the third and final year of the mandate which provided the province’s public sector workers with an average of 13.75 per cent in combined general wage increases and cost-of-living adjustments (COLA) over the three-year term. Year 1 of the mandate provided a greater percentage increase for lower paid workers hardest hit by the challenges of affordability. The COLA increases provided protection of up to 1.25 per cent in Year 2 and 1 per cent in Year 3 to account for the impacts of inflation. These amounts are earmarked within the Contingencies vote until costs become more certain.
– during its term in office full-time equivalent (FTE) staff utilization in core government ministries is projected to increase from a forecast of 36,800 in 2023/24 to 37,300 in 2024/25, an increase of 500 FTEs. This projection is expected to be stable for the three years of the fiscal plan.
– the anticipated FTE growth is due to newly approved resources as part of its 2024 provincial budget, including resources to support fire management, public safety and CleanBC initiatives. There are also new FTEs to support BC Builds, digital building permit tool, new conservation officers, an Independent Gambling Control Office, and increased frontline and oversight staff for child protection, and to address growing demand for government services.

The 2024 provincial budget advocated:
– reallocating $7.4 billion from contingencies to permanent base funding to reflect known compensation costs for the delivery of public services.
– the government and provincial public sector employers spend about $43.8 billion annually on total compensation.

The party’s 2026 budget states that the projection for full-time equivalent (FTE) staff utilization for government ministries is 37,500 in 2025/26. This reflects the estimated impact of hiring restrictions and job action.
-through Budget 2026 and as part of expenditure management, government will reduce the size of the BC Public Service through continued hiring restrictions, attrition, and where appropriate, reviewing the possibility of offering early retirement incentives.
-as a result, FTE projections (adjusted for impacts of job action) decline by 2,500 from 2025/26 to 2028/29.

Public Sector Compensation
The party’s 2026 budget states that there are more than 598,000 people in British Columbia’s public sector working in the core BC Public Service, at Crown corporations and agencies, in health and community social services, K-12 public education and post-secondary institutions and research universities. Of those people, approximately 456,000 are unionized employees paid under collective agreements or professionals paid through negotiated compensation agreements.
-the government and provincial public sector employers spend about $55.7 billion on total compensation. An increase of 1 per cent in total compensation for all B.C. public sector employees is estimated to cost $557 million. For unionized employees and others with negotiated agreements, a 1 per cent increase would cost over $441 million.
-fiscal year 2025/26 marked the beginning of a new round of collective bargaining between provincial public sector employers and unionized employees under the Balanced Measures Mandate. Budget 2026 makes provision for collective agreements reached under the new mandate. Funding is allocated in the Contingencies Vote to prepare for the ratification of new collective agreements throughout the fiscal plan period.

Provinces, Territories, Municipalities

To promote reconciliation and good government, the party advocates:
-creating a standardized, province-wide municipal building permit system, including streamlining construction for people and businesses, and reducing administration and technology cost burdens on municipalities

Courts & Public Safety

The party’s “Action Plan for You” (2026) states that:
-in order to make the province’s streets safer, it is committed to supporting people who need help while giving police the tools to keep assault weapons and handguns away from gangs and toxic drugs off our streets.
-in order to promote reconciliation and good government, the party advocates unifying provincial enforcement teams into a single enforcement agency, to improve efficiency in focusing on bad actors, freeing up the RCMP to focus on crime instead of enforcement of provincial regulations
-it advocates working with police to make neighbourhoods and streets safer, while investing in schools, community infrastructure and recreation opportunities. This includes:
* supporting police to keep gunds off the streets and continue anti-gang programs such as the new Integrated Gang Homicide Team
* ramping up the seizure of proceeds of organized crime, to deny profits to criminal networks, close down gang houses and taking their cars, seizing properties used with the knowledge of the property’s owners
* in order to “stop repeat offenders in their tracks,” strengthening targeted policing, increasing funding for immediate police investigations, adding more comprehensive case management capacity for prosecutors, and pushing Ottawa for stronger bail and sentencing conditions.
* helping women, LGBTQ+ people, and families permanently escape domestic abuse and violence, including expanding transition housing and protecting jobs of women fleeing abusive relationships
-expanding provincial parks, recreation sites, and trails for family enjoyment, including improved access roads and new trails and infrastructure

The party’s 2026 budget states that it is committed to fostering safe and strong communities by strengthening essential public safety and justice services.
-the 2026 budget 2026 allocates $139 million over three years to provide more community-specific supports to respond to public safety concerns and help to build capacity to ensure timely access to justice and other public safety programs, including funding for court operations, recruitment and retention of sheriffs, Crown counsel, the judiciary, legal aid, and the BC Prosecution Service.
-in addition, the 2026 budget allocates $16 million over the next two years to establish the Chronic Property Offending Intervention Initiative (CPOII), building on the success and model of Repeat Violent Offending Intervention Initiative (ReVOII) to provide dedicated, coordinated response teams to address repeat property offending. It also continues support for the ReVOII and Special Investigation and Targeted Enforcement (SITE) programs, to reduce crime rates attributable to repeat violent offending and property crime, improve information sharing, and provide better outcomes for individuals through improved connection to health, housing, and social supports. Each of these programs is supported through temporary funding pending the results of a program review following the completion of an initial pilot period.
-the party has secured support from the federal government for more police officers, increased RCMP helicopter support, and national coordination of efforts to combat extortion. The BC Extortion Task Force is a first of its kind in the country, bringing together municipal, provincial, and federal agencies to coordinate intelligence sharing and investigations, and establishing a community advisory group on extortion to ensure there is strong communication between law enforcement and businesses and community members
-since 2018, government has invested $2.2 million towards preventing and addressing sexualized violence in post-secondary communities, including an annual sexual violence awareness campaign.
-the party is also taking steps to expand the Civil Forfeiture Office (CFO), fulfilling a recommendation from the Cullen Commission into money laundering. The expansion will allow the CFO to conduct its own investigations and proactively identify money laundering schemes or pursue high value assets, continuing to fight profit from unlawful activity or use property to seriously harm others. The expansion will be funded through forfeited funds and is expected to generate net revenue for the Province, which will be used to support policing initiatives and the victims of crime.
