Yes, I’m ready to lead on Day
One. Not only because I hold a seat in the legislature, which is important, but
because the days following winning the election are critically important to the
survival of our province.
Rather than get complacent, I'm reminded of the responsibility I bear to you, and to every British Columbian. Seeing that poll reminds me that simply winning this leadership race, and even becoming Premier, isn’t good enough.
Because British Columbians like you deserve more than just a Conservative government. You deserve a Conservative government with a plan for the future, and that’s exactly what my message today is all about.
The first 100 days will be critical when conservatives like you and I win back our government. We will have to move FAST, with determination, confidence and disciplined execution to turn this government around and restore BC.
I want to share with you my plan to do just that. Here’s what you can expect in the first 100 days of a Peter Milobar led BC Conservative government in Victoria.
➤ STEP 1: Immediately and without hesitation, REPEAL DRIPA for good.
British Columbia has a long and proud tradition of fairness, hard work, and building bridges. When DRIPA is eliminated for good, I’ll lead our province to a future where everyone has an opportunity to start a business, develop a resource, and contribute to the economy, freely, openly, and respectfully.
All with made-in-BC solutions – because we knew how to do business right in this province long before DRIPA.
➤ STEP 2: Introduce legislation to Protect and Strengthen Private Property Rights.
I will direct my government to defend your home and property at all costs, even if it means going all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada. Never again will your investment, your home, and your legacy be on the menu for prying special interests.
➤ STEP 3: I will unleash the power of British Columbia’s natural resource sector.
Under my watch, my government will conduct a complete overhaul on permitting processes.
When a mining or forestry company wants to do business in BC, they’ll have a clear roadmap to do so. That means: Hard caps on permitting timelines, and a promise to our resource sector that a permit filed is a permit honoured – no moving regulatory targets.
When my government says we’re serious about approving new mines, I mean it. And we’ll prove it with the action necessary to back it up, and get projects built.
➤ STEP 4: Aggressively slash red tape across the board and bring in tax reforms to kick-start the BC economy.
To ignite private sector activity and spur investment from small businesses and large projects – create prosperity and jobs – I will direct my cabinet to ruthlessly hunt down burdensome regulations strangling our economy and eliminate them. I’ll review every job-killing tax on the books and ensure that British Columbia is the most tax competitive jurisdiction in Canada.
➤ STEP 5: Create a disciplined fiscal framework for government to rein in spending and make the public service work as efficiently as possible.
It’s time to run the provincial government the way a business would be — with efficiency, value and productivity in mind. That means making difficult decisions that will track down inefficiencies in bureaucracy and address them, crack down on mismanaged bureaucracy and get the best out of our public service, cap departmental spending, and ensure that taxpayers get maximum value for their hard-earned dollars.
➤ STEP 6: Push through public safety directives to bring real consequences for criminals into the criminal justice system.
I will direct a new BC Conservative Attorney General to ensure that violent criminals and drug dealers are confronted to the full extent of the law and pay for the damage that they’ve done to victims of crime and society at large. BC will be a province of law and order again.
It seems that folks know that
I’m ready to lead the province on day one ... and I’m honoured and appreciative
of their confidence in me.
