Statement

Streamlining government. We will cut the costs that the province itself adds to every project. We will trust qualified professionals to do the work they are certified to do, as happened before 2018. And we will impose no PST on the construction of designated major projects until they are in service, so tax arrives with the revenue.

Overview

Restore pre-2018 professional reliance autonomy for certified engineers and geoscientists and defers PST during construction of approved megaprojects ($80M/year deferred).
