Facing fiscal music
As the Liberal leadership race gets down to its
final days, and the new premier of B.C. is selected
by party members, residents should take some time
to contemplate the provincial budget, which was re-
leased on Tuesday to a collective yawn.
As expected, it contained virtually no new initia-
tives, as there is no active government in place right
now. Premier Gordon Campbell is in his final days
as caretaker; the cabinet ministers who are still
working are doing routine tasks; and the direction
the government takes will be determined by the
new leader, and by public reaction to that leader.
However, despite the lacklustre budget, there are
a few noteworthy points. One is that government
debt is rising at a breathtaking rate, with very little
of that debt actually due to the current deficit. Most
of it, in fact, is for capital projects, with much of that
for B.C. Hydro.
The debt could be close to $60 billion by 2013. When
the B.C. Liberals were first elected in 2001, the debt
was around $34 billion, and it didn’t move much past
that figure until 2007, when the government started
throwing a lot of money around – perhaps encour-
aged by the booming economy of the day.
Also, Finance Minister Colin Hansen took pains to
point out expected growing revenue from the HST.
Revenue is expected to be $4.2 billion in 2010-11
(including PST revenue) and rise to $6.5 billion by
