Building B.C.’s Recovery, Together describes the values the government considers foundational for economic policy-making in the coming months. It details the economic effects that COVID-19 has had on the province, particularly job losses.

“The recovery is going to be a tough task, and we need to be open to new ideas and new approaches. At the same time, core B.C. values like equity, taking care of each other, sustainability and reconciliation have not changed.”—Carole James, Minister of Finance

The province says that close to half of all job losses in the province due to COVID-19 have been in accommodations, food services and retail; as a result these losses have had a greater impact on women, young adults and low-wage workers in B.C.
