The New NDP government has delivered its speech from the throne.
Lt.-Gov. Judith Guichon outlined the government's priorities to make life more affordable for British Columbians as she delivered the throne speech today.
The speech from the throne says the government will deliver on its election promises to ban corporate and union donations to political parties, set the terms for an electoral reform referendum, and change the current fixed election date from the spring to the fall every four years starting in 2021.
The speech says the government protect renters from hefty increases and offer annual bus passes to people with disabilities starting next January.
