James' Bond: "Licence to Steal"
In a dishonest bid to add a billion dollars to their budget plan, the NDP are now planning on re-introducing a failed 1990s-era policy. Issuing ‘Green Bonds’ cost taxpayers $143 million (and counting).
- The NDP couldn’t manage their own books while they were government, racking up debt and fudge-it budgets, and now they want to manage yours?
- The real question is: ‘Who would trust the NDP with their money to invest’? This was the party that built fast ferries while refusing to build hospitals.
- The BC Liberals have put real programs on the table, like the private-sector pension plan introduced last fall, which the NDP still don’t support.
- The NDP ‘Green Bonds’ are being introduced in competition with the private sector, at a time when interest rates are at a historical LOW. The NDP simply don’t understand finance, and they can’t be trusted with your money.
