Andrew Wilkinson says he was a doctor in Campbell River for 3 years. Wilkinson says economists support getting rid of the PST. #bcpoli #bcvotes
On better ways to spend the PST like expanding expanding child care, or aid programs, Wilkinson says governments around the world are running deficits. Says will announce child care plan in the coming week. #bcpoli #bcvotes
Wilkinson says it's a false idea that you can cut both the PST and support childcare. It's still unclear how big a deficit the Liberals will run. #bcpoli #covid19bc

On PST cut being a desperate move, Wilkinson says just like a wartime economy it is time to focus government on what is best for people and build confidence. #bcpoli #bcvotes
Wilkinson says the PST cut "will not lead to any reduction fo services in British Columbia." #bcpoli #bcvotes

On having to go on deck starting tomorrow on some BC Ferries, Wilkinson says he doesn't want to see anyone die from a marine crash. Says we should get expertise from marine safety experts. #bcpoli #bcvotes
