VICTORIA — People throughout B.C. can now share ideas on what they believe should be in the 2024 provincial budget.

Consultation for Budget 2024 is open and the consultation is led by the all-party Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services. Each year, the committee holds a province wide consultation about the next provincial budget and presents a final report with recommendations to the legislative assembly reflecting their recommendations.

Minister of Finance Katrine Conroy says that the government is ” focused on what matters to people across our province. Our annual budget consultation helps us hear from them and make sure our budget reflects their priorities, so we can help everyone build a good life in British Columbia.”

British Columbians can participate by completing a written submission form. The budget consultation closes Friday, June 16, 2023, at 2 p.m.
