BC-GOV03: Bill 3: Budget Measures Implementation Act (No. 2), 2026

This bill primarily affects businesses in British Columbia that are involved in strategic economic development projects — likely companies in sectors like technology, clean energy, manufacturing, natural resources, or infrastructure that the province considers strategically important. These businesses could receive government grants, loans, loan guarantees, or equity investments from the new $400 million fund. The eligible recipients and qualifying projects will be defined by Treasury Board regulations, so the specific industries and business sizes affected will depend on those future rules. Businesses that previously received funding under agreements with the Minister of Jobs and Economic Growth dating back to April 2018 may also be brought under this new framework retroactively.
