The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia’s Select Standing Committee's Budget 2027 consultation is now accepting written submissions

How to Participate:
British Columbians can participate by providing written input using the submission form on the Parliamentary Committees Consultation Portal by 2:00 p.m. (Pacific) on Friday, June 19.

Link for the Consultation Portal: la-bc.ca/consultations

Please note: The opportunity to register to make a presentation at public hearings has now closed. The Committee is currently accepting written input only. Those who are scheduled to present to the Committee in 2026 are not eligible to also provide a written submission.

About the Consultation:
The Committee includes MLAs from both the government and opposition. Each year, the Committee asks the public for input on the upcoming provincial budget and then publishes a report with recommendations based on the input received.

For more information on the province’s fiscal forecast and key budget issues, read the Budget 2027 Consultation Paper from the Minister of Finance, which is referred to the Committee each year before the consultation.

Reminder: It's Not Too Late to fill out your 2026 Census!

Thousands of census employees across the country are helping collect data that are vital to improving the lives of Canadians. These are your family, friends or neighbours making a difference for your community.

If you haven't completed your questionnaire yet and we follow up with you, here’s how to recognize official census communications:

📩 Reminder letters will be sent by mail or delivered in person, which will contain a secure access code to complete the census questionnaire online.

🪪 In person follow-ups will be conducted by employees with an identification card.

📱 Text message reminders may also be sent from the text message short code number 236732.

📞 If a follow-up phone call to a household is needed, the census employees will identify themselves clearly.
