One day after being sworn into office with a massive majority, Premier Gordon Campbell announced a 25 percent personal income tax cut, potentially relinquishing one billion dollars in tax revenue. Seven weeks later, Campbell and his Finance Minister followed up with another billion dollars in business and corporate tax cuts.

  • British Apr 2 21112 Columbia
    BRITISH COLUMBIA APR 2 21112 Ms. Karen Goodings Chair Peace River Regional District Box 810 Dawson Creek, BC V1G 4118 Dear Ms. Goodings: Thank you for your November 29 and December 1, 2011 letters regarding British Columbia Utilities Commission (BCUC) oversight and natural gas generation. In your letters, you express concern regarding the change the Clean Energy Act (the Act) made to the role of the BCUC. The principal rationale for this change is that the development of critical electricity infrastructure in the Province can have a broader provincial benefit than is reflected in the narrower ratepayer interest normally considered by the BCUC. Section 7 of the Act set out a number of strategic projects, programs and contracts that support British Columbia’s energy objectives, and provides that these projects, programs and contracts will not be subject to further BCUC review. Going forward, the oversight role of the BCUC over BC Hydro continues. Recognizing the importance of BC Hydro’s plans for supporting British Columbia’s energy objectives, the Act requires that BC Hydro’s Integrated Resource Plans (IRP) be reviewed and approved by the provincial government. The expenditures, projects and contracts necessary to implement an approved IRP will be subject to BCUC oversight and approval (apart from those listed in Section 7). The Act also includes consequential amendments to the Utilities Commission Act providing that, in considering the ratepayer interest in projects, contracts or expenditures proposed by BC Hydro, the BCUC must “consider and be guided by” the IRP approved by the provincial government and British Columbia’s energy objectives.
