"The Economic Security Project was created because the scope of provincial policy changes in BC has national and international relevance. We've witnessed a significant reduction in government provision of social programs and regulation of labour standards; changes in the institutions responsible for delivering public services; and changes in the rules and practices by which social programs are delivered and through which government is held accountable to the public."
