Budget 2024 takes on the big challenges people are facing today by helping with everyday costs, delivering more homes faster, strengthening health care and services, and building a stronger, cleaner economy.

Brenda Bailey, Minister of Jobs, Economic Development and Innovation, has issued the following statement on the release of Statistics Canada’s Labour Force Survey for January 2024:

More B.C. businesses will be able to diversify markets for their world-class goods and create sustainable jobs for people with access to tools, resources and training through the creation of a new Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Centre of Excellence.

More than 220 B.C. musicians and music companies are being supported by four Amplify BC programs to develop their careers and businesses.

People who rely on wheelchair-accessible taxis to get to appointments and connect with their communities will have more options as the Province continues to support the increased presence of accessible taxis on the road.

People who have had their intimate images or videos shared without consent have new supports to get them off the internet, stop their distribution, and seek monetary compensation.
