Provincial Response

MINISTRY OF COMMUNITY RURAL DEVELOPMENT The Ministry acknowledges that the 50 per capita limit set out in B.C Regulation 3682003 has not been amended in over 20 years. The Ministry will be reviewing the current limitations set out in the regulation to determine first, if an increase to the per capita limit is necessary; and second the amount of an increase.
