I am pleased to present the Service Plan for the Office of the Premier for period April 1, 2004 to March 31, 2007. This plan is presented in accordance with Section 13 of the Budget Transparency and Accountability Act.

This Service Plan is the key document for the strategic management and achievement of the goals and objectives of the Office of the Premier. As a rolling three-year plan, this document reflects and builds upon the Office of the Premier's efforts in 2003/04.

Over the past year the Office of the Premier has worked hard to achieve its goals, objectives and New Era commitments. Since our government took office, we have completed or begun work on 95 per cent of our New Era commitments. We have significantly increased funding for education and health care, all while achieving a balanced budget in 2004/05. And we are now seeing significant improvements in our economy, with record levels of job creation and renewed confidence for the future.

In the coming year, we will continue to seek innovative ways of achieving our priorities. This Service Plan will serve to guide our actions and keep British Columbians informed as we work towards our goals.

Gordon Campbell
Premier of British Columbia
