Prince George to have BC budget consultation session

Mar 8, 2023 | 10:48 AM

PRINCE GEORGE — A public consultation session regarding the 2024 BC provincial budget will be held in Prince George in the summer.

The Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services holds public consultations on the provincial budget every year. Through these consultation sessions, British Columbians can share their thoughts, ideas and priorities through a number of participation options.

The Budget Transparency and Accountability Act SBC 2000, c.23 requires a select standing committee of the Legislative Assembly to hold a budget consultation and report on the results by November 15 each year. The Minister of Finance is also required under this act to release a budget consultation paper which is referred to the Committee and outlines the province’s fiscal forecast, key budget issues and how British Columbians can share their views.

Sessions have not yet been scheduled but are anticipated to take place in May or June and will include in-person and virtual meetings. British Columbians will also have the opportunity to send in their written comments at the end of May.
