BC Investment Plan: Natural Gas, Tax Cuts and Jobs

Plain and simple, I believe in bringing investment back to

British

Columbia.

And we will host a business summit next year in Vancouver that

will be the envy of the world. We will welcome capital

back to our province.

You can plan around a no, but you can't plan

around a maybe. I believe in cutting red tape.

I believe in energy. We will double-- Yes.

We will cut red tape like it's never been cut before.

We will double natural gas production by twenty

thirty-two and triple it by twenty thirty-five.

Folks, that is tens of thousands of jobs in our

province and at least six billion dollars a year for

hospitals and schools that we all depend on.

I believe in the people who build, dig, and

grow. More fiber on the trucks,

permits in months instead of years, and backing

for exploration that finds the next mine in our province.

I believe in building the ports and the rail that get it

all to market, and the power to run a new plant without

years

of waiting for grid connection. Technology that keeps

BC's ideas and jobs right here. I believe in

our young people and their futures being right here in our

province, and I believe absolutely.

And I believe in you keeping

more of what you earn.

A thousand dollar tax cut is just the start with no

new taxes in British Columbia.

I believe in healthcare that is fully and publicly

funded. I believe

rural ERs and maternity wards that are actually

open, and I believe-

Yes. I believe in getting British Columbians

the family

doctors that they need and the hospitals that are safe for our

doctors and our nurses who work in them.

And I believe in public safety that protects our

communities, makes sure criminals stay behind bars,

and that

those who need treatment actually get healthy in British

Columbia.

I also believe in the protection of private property rights

and that British Columbia-

And, um, and a British Columbia where parks are

open to all British Columbians.

And I believe that we must pay in the right way.

Careful with your money, and growing our economy so

that careful is actually enough. Because when a

province believes in itself,

things start to move in British Columbia.

Put it all together and here's what I want:

a British Columbia that is the most prov- prosperous province in

this country.

The place where investment goes first and the place

the best people choose to build their lives.

I want BC where a hard day's work gets you a

family home and a future right here in this

beautiful province.

I want to say a word to the people who aren't in this

room. There is a place for your--

There is a place for you here. Bring your ideas,

bring your family, bring your ambitions, and somebody will pick up

the phone in British Columbia.

And to the business owner,

to the bene- business owner that is thinking about taking what

they have built somewhere else in this country,

I am begging you to stay because there are incredible

times.

Grow it here. We are going to make it worth your while,

I

promise you that. And to the young people of our beautiful

province, I am telling you to stay.

This is your home, and I want you to have your best

days to happen here, close to your parents

and your friends in the

town that you grew up in, in a place that you can afford.
