Restrict builders, watch prices go higher

Ya gotta love the NDP. They are finally showing some fiscal discipline.

Tucked away in the new provincial budget — the one with the $13 billion deficit — is a provision to remove the provincial sales tax exemption for wool.

They are finally going after those greedy grannies darning socks or knitting mittens for their grandchildren.

Meanwhile, in the same budget, they have paused construction on new long-term care bed facilities around the province. Well, that is actually a good thing, despite the backlog and growing need.

A spokesman for the office of the B.C. seniors advocate was on the radio, telling us that the projected cost for some of these facilities was approaching $2 million per bed. That is not a typo.

That's the projected cost for essentially a modest room with a bathroom. No one has to be a construction expert to know that is a ridiculous figure.

I guess that's what happens when you restrict the building of public infrastructure projects to the 15 per cent of the provincial construction workforce that is unionized.

We desperately need a new government in this province that actually has private sector management experience.
