A diversified economy that operates within the environmental carrying capacity and serves the needs and aspirations of people and local communities, thereby contributing to genuine socio-economic progress for the Province as a whole.

Equity in sharing the wealth of the Province fairly amongst all British Columbians through principles of justice and compassion, while recognizing that what we leave to future generations is a sacred trust and the best measure of who we are.
