Today, Surrey & White Rock Board of Trade (SWRBOT) CEO Joslyn Young and Policy & Media Advisor Aman Parmar attended the provincial Budget Lock-Up in Victoria to review the 2026 fiscal plan.
The budget projects a $13.3 billion deficit – the largest in B.C.’s history. Despite new tax measures and plans to reduce the public service by 15,000 positions, the deficit is still expected to grow in 2026, raising questions about the long-term sustainability of the province’s fiscal trajectory.
