A budget that leaves too many behind

“If you cared about kids that are vulnerable, you would do the right thing, and this budget fails to do that right thing yet again. 
“British Columbians are going to pay in the future for that. You can’t mistreat children for where you’re the parent and not expect to pay later.” 
Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, the representative for children and youth, on the provincial budget, in an interview here.
The Roundtable shares the representative’s concern.
We need, together, to recognize that failing to support people - youth, families, seniors - today, means much higher costs in the future.
