Everyone was thrilled in the 2017 election when all three major BC parties - the BC Liberals, NDP and Greens - each announced they would kill the Medical Services Premium tax.
Then, well, stuff happened. In government, the NDP surprised everyone - even their own expert panel - when they replaced it with an Employers Health Tax.
Kris Sims, BC Director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, sat down with Rick Cluff to explain just how hard businesses - and regular taxpayers - will be hit.
Rick Cluff is an award-winning journalist who hosted the popular CBC Radio Vancouver morning program “The Early Edition” from 1997 until his retirement in April of 2018.
