The first ever telephone town hall mettings started today in Surrey BC at 6:30 (pacific daylight time.)
The provincial government wanted to hear the thoughts of citizens about the HST and ways to improve and change it according to the public. So, today every phone number listed in Surrey got a call (at 6:30) where they were asked if they wanted to participate, follow the promts, or hang up. This also gives the public a chance to ask the finance minister of BC, Kevin Falcon, questions regarding the new tax and tax policy in BC.
This method and technology will be used all across BC between now and May 12th, in order to connect with thousands and thousands of people.
