Finance Minister hosts
budget
tele-town hall Oct. 30
Finance Minister Michael de Jong is inviting central Vancouver Island
residents to participate in a regional telephone town hall on balancing the
2013-14 provincial budget and supporting affordability for B.C. families.
The
telephone town hall is the second of a series that will give British Columbians
a further opportunity to discuss their priorities for the budget and ask
questions of the finance minister.
The
telephone town hall will dial approximately 50,000 numbers on Vancouver Island.
When: 7 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. Tuesday,
Oct. 30, 2012
How
do you participate?
If
you have a publicly listed telephone number, you will receive a call at home in
the early evening of the day when your regional telephone town hall is being
held. A recorded message will ask if you are interested in attending the
tele-town hall. If you would like to participate, stay on the line and follow
the instructions given in the message.
If
you do not want to participate, just hang up.
If
you stay on the call, there may be a short wait until the call formally begins,
or you will be placed into the town hall if it is already underway. A moderator
will introduce the call, provide the instructions for participation and
describe how you can ask a question, then prompt the next caller when it is
their turn to ask a question.
We
hope you’ll take part in this important public consultation.
Comment: If they are really only allowing a half hour for this meeting, they either don't think many will actually participate or there won't be time for much in-depth discussions.
