Premier David Eby will take his budget tour on the road on Feb. 23 as he sells the highlights to members of Vancouver’s business community with less than nine months before a provincial election.

Mr. Eby’s speech to the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade comes after yesterday’s tabling of the budget by Finance Minister Katrine Conroy that includes benefits for families and small businesses, but also forecasts a deficit of more than $7.9 billion and rising debt.
