Premier's statement on five years of delivering results for people
Since being in government, we’ve worked hard for people. We’ve made different choices than other governments. Instead of tax breaks for people at the top, we’re investing in people and the services that families rely on.
We’ve built new schools and hospitals, made child care more affordable, reduced ICBC rates, eliminated MSP, and more. But there’s still more work to do. We’ll keep putting people first and working to make life better for everyone – not just those at the top.

Speculation and vacancy tax will help housing affordability in new communities.
The speculation and vacancy tax have already brought 20,000 previously empty units back into the market for people to call home. We’re expanding this tax to some additional areas that are facing intense housing pressures. We’re looking out for everyday British Columbians because everybody deserves an affordable place to live.

B.C. enhances consumer protection for homebuyers
This spring, we received the B.C. Financial Services Authority’s advice on ways we can offer home buyers better protection. As a first key action from this advice, a homebuyer protection period will come into effect that will give homebuyers an opportunity to take important steps, such as securing financing or arranging home inspections, as they prepare to make one of the biggest financial decisions of their lifetime.
These homebuyer protection period regulations are an important first step we’re taking to enhance consumer protection while at the same time protecting the interest of people selling their homes.
