VICTORIA - British Columbia’s budget pays too little attention to the potential impacts of a slowing global economy and a shifting housing market, business leaders say. Finance Minister Carole James arrives to deliver the budget speech as she waves to people in the gallery at the legislature in Victoria, B.C., on Tuesday, February 19, 2018. The budget introduced Tuesday included the minority New Democrat government’s $902-million Clean BC Fund to fight climate change. “We’ve built a very prudent budget that has caution built in and gives us the opportunity to continue to invest in the people of B.C. who continue to build that strong economy.” Opposition Liberal Leader Andrew Wilkinson said the budget does nothing to stimulate the economy.
