VANCOUVER, B.C. – At a time when British Columbians desperately need more doctors, David Eby has revealed his plan to drive doctors out of our province. He promised every British Columbian a family doctor by the end of 2025. Emergency rooms are still closing at night, and now he wants to tax the doctors and specialists every community is fighting to recruit.

There is no problem the NDP don’t think can be fixed by raising your taxes. The Conservative Party of BC has committed to no new taxes, and a government led by Lorne Doerkson will make BC the place doctors choose to build their practice.

BACKGROUND: Contrary to David Eby’s earlier ‘preview’ of his tax hike plan, the NDP’s new scheme is NOT limited to those earning over $1m/year.

From the NDP’s news release:

• $190,405-$265,545 will go from 16.8% to 18.8%
• $265,545-$1m will go from 20.5% to 22.5%
• New $1m+ tax at 24.5%
