Lək̓ʷəŋən (Lekwungen)Territory / Victoria, B.C. — Sonia Furstenau, Leader of the BC Greens, has issued the following statement:

“For government to be spending this much money, including double-digit increases for senior bureaucrats, and still not solving problems or addressing crises, we have a serious problem. People in BC should be asking, where is this money going?

“As we predicted, the BC NDP needed to spend more money than budgeted responding to the climate crisis, while receiving less revenue from natural resources. It’s time to take the climate crisis seriously; stop building methane plants (LNG), and implement a windfall profits tax on the oil and gas sector.”
