The B.C. NDP government did a lot of chest bumping and of highlighting accomplishments during the throne speech Tuesday at the opening of the Legislature.
The speech, read by Lt.-Gov. Janet Austin, outlines the government's political accomplishments during its 2 1/2 years in power before promising a better future.
It says the elimination of Medical Services Plan premiums, reductions in child care fees, the construction of thousands of affordable homes and increases to the minimum wage are helping people.
"Today, when British Columbians check their mail, they are relieved to no longer receive an MSP bill, because government has eliminated this tax," says the speech.
"Starting in October, they can expect a new piece of mail, with a Child Opportunity Benefit for families that need it most. And when they review their bank statement, many families have more money left at the end of the month than they did three years ago."
