Bright Future commits to a 2% fair share surcharge to fund its programme, and a 21 day deadline for permits.
CITY TAXES AND THE CAPITAL PLAN
Bright Future Vancouver on taxes and budget
Bright Future is one of the few parties that names both a spending programme and a tax to pay for it. The surcharge is published as 2%, though the party has not published what it applies to.
The 21 day permit rule is a deadline commitment: a decision within 21 days. It is the only published permit deadline on this ballot. Other parties commit to faster permitting without saying how fast.
