July 18, 2018 marked an important date.
It marked the one-year anniversary of the new B.C. government having been sworn into office. You may have caught CFIB on your local radio this month discussing recent survey results where we asked you your thoughts on the provincial government’s first year in office.
Most notably, we asked you to give the government a grade. Of the 833 survey responses we received in June, 36% gave the government an “F” grade, 32% “D”, 21% “C”, 8% “B”, 2% “A”, and 1% were unsure.
Earlier this month on July 5th we met with Minister Ralston; the Minister responsible for small business affairs. We presented our findings to him in advance, highlighting the fact that the BC government had, on average, received a “D” grade for their first year in office. The Minister will be taking your survey results and comments to his colleagues at the Legislature as we continue to push for your priorities.
