BC government to immediately launch new round of major cuts


BC 省政府将立即开始大幅度删减开支。
将停止征新工作,拒绝公营主管人员加薪,同时以更强硬的态度对待谈判桌另一边的工会。

The B.C. government will immediately launch a new round of major cuts because of a three-year, $1.1-billion hit to provincial revenues caused by plummeting natural gas prices, Finance Minister Mike de Jong announced Thursday.
Speaking to reporters, de Jong promised an immediate hiring freeze across government and a wage freeze for public sector managers, including those at schools, universities and health organizations. He also signalled a possible ratcheting-up of the already tense negotiations between the province and its public sector unions.
“Call these austerity measures — they are designed to immediately curtail spending in areas where government has some discretion”
