Statement from Premier John Horgan on federal throne speech

Premier John Horgan has released the following statement in response to the federal Speech from the Throne:

"I welcome the federal government's commitment to extend and enhance business support programs as we all continue to work to restart our economy and recover jobs for people.

"I very much look forward to new federal resources for childcare which is a shared priority, and would be a key priority for a re-elected BC NDP government. In our first term, we made record investments to reduce costs for families, create new spaces, and train early childhood educators. I’m eager to work together to ensure all families in BC have access to affordable childcare."
