Liberals have largely maintained the fiscally responsible approach that has seen the government receive the highest possible credit rating by the big three credit rating agencies. The government's credit rating determines the interest rate that is charged on government debt and today B.C. The NDP go on to say they'll freeze ICBC and BC Hydro rates, but once again don't account for the cost of these commitments. They do say they'll find $680 million in "savings" without identifying where those savings will come from. Liberals are not a perfect government — and I have yet to discover one — but their fiscal credibility has been hard won.
