Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The Green platform proposes funding these new initiatives through a one-time tax on 'excessive wealth.' The party projects this levy would raise $22.2 billion in its first year, totaling $25.3 billion by 2027-28. The plan also suggests raising an additional $9.14 billion through higher taxes on the wealthiest residents of British Columbia.
