THRONE SPEECH DEBATE

77 Mr. Chisholm to move in amendment, seconded by Mr. Tanner--: "We, Her Majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects, the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, in Session assembled, beg leave to thank Your Honour for the gracious Speech which your Honour has addressed to us at the opening of the present Session," be amended by adding the following: ". . . but this assembly regrets that this government is not putting an end to the policies and the tax grabs that are hurting ordinary British Columbians; that this government in the 41 months that it has been in office has created a debt that has the fastest growing debt service costs of any province in Canada and, even now, in the Speech from the Throne, that this government refuses to take the steps necessary to cut spending and stop hiding from the citizens of this province the amount of waste it generates; and furthermore, that this government fails miserably again in outlining a responsible economic plan to ensure the future prosperity of ordinary British Columbians while it continues to overtax all working families and pour money into the mismanagement of education and health programs which deprive students, patients and other ordinary British Columbians of a future with real, sustainable jobs and services."
