Summary
Iain Black, Conservative Party leadership candidate, unveils ambitious plans to address BCs key issues. He proposes slashing builder fees, expediting permits, and delegating zoning to cities to tackle housing affordability. Black also promises a 20% income tax cut, rollback of NDP tax hikes, and a focus on LNG, mining, and tech exports to boost trade. In healthcare, he aims to fast-track foreign-trained professionals, enhance rural incentives, and shift funds from admin to frontline care. Black pledges day-one actions like repealing the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act and reopening Riverview for opioid recovery, all while aiming for a balanced budget through economic growth and waste reduction.
