B.Cs starting to work, again.

The key to economic recovery is for
Govemment to create the nght environment,
sumulate industry, encourage investment, and
work with the private sector to ensure
longterm employment This is why we have
initiated a plan to restore confidence and build
economic foundations for the future.

And it's working.

Our know-how is working.

Fall, is the bluepnint from which a healthy B.C
economy is being forged within the frame-
work of restraint and responsible manage-
ment of Government spending.
