B.C. Pays all direct debt, 1959. Direct debt today(1998) under the B.C. government is about $19,000,000,000! Total debt has risen $10,000,000,000 to $30,000,000,000+ in 7 years! W.A.C. boasted he took B.C. from being Canada's #1 have not province to be Canada's #1 have province. The difference between have and have not is whether a province pays equalization payments to the poorer provinces. He passed 20 balanced budgets. In 1998 B.C. had the lowest economic growth of all the provinces in Canada. Also B.C's credit rating was down graded both in 1998 and in 1999 to AA unstable. It is now up to the newly elected provincial Liberals, May 16 2001, to bring prosperity back to British Columbia.

W.A.C. Bennett started the Bank of B.C. in 1964. In 1989 the Hong Kong Bank took over. In 1998 the HK bank expressed interest to leave B.C. because of the poor business climate. They were persuaded to stay.
