Ex-premier Bill Vander Zalm says Victoria didn’t do a good job of negotiating the repayment of the $1.6 billion given by Ottawa to the province for adopting the harmonized sales tax.
The tax that ended the political career of former B.C. Liberal premier Gordon Campbell was front and centre during the first question period of the new session of the legislative assembly.
B.C. Premier Christy Clark confirmed following the results of the HST referendum today that the province will move back to the PST and GST by March 2013.
The idea that B.C. Liberal Premier Christy Clark may call a snap election as early as the fall to secure a mandate for her government has been bouncing around for quite some time.
