Making your ideas count

British Columbia’s provincial budget is a combination of the revenues taken in from taxes and other sources, and spending on programs, services and infrastructure for British Columbians.

Every year that government doesn't balance the budget passes on debt to future generations.

The government is required by law to balance the budget by 2013/14. Balancing the budget means making choices about how we raise revenues, and how much we spend.

With this budget simulator, we hope to start a conversation with British Columbians about their priorities.
