B.C. children’s ministry in line for budget boost, says finance minister
VICTORIA — British Columbia’s finance minister says the Children and Family Development Ministry will get a financial boost in next week’s budget, but the Opposition New Democrats accused the Liberal government of playing catch up Wednesday after cutting funding since the party came to power in 2001.
Mike de Jong said the government has received two major reports that recommend more funding for the children’s ministry.
“We are anxious to address that,” he said.
But NDP Leader John Horgan said the provincial government has made similar promises before.
