Running on the platform "The Right Leader for B.C.," George Abbott made the announcement at a press conference in Vancouver Thursday morning. "I believe that British Columbia – from Victoria to Vanderhoof, Telwka to Trail, Howe Street to Main Street -- has only begun to reach its potential," said Abbott. "The BC Liberal Party is the right party to guide our province to this success. I am the right leader and the right Premier." The four-term Liberal from the Sicamous area formally resigned from the cabinet this morning. It was the fifth position he'd held since being appointed nine years ago. If he becomes premier, Abbott promises to move up the HST referendum and establish a process to increase the minimum wage. He said he would establish a new homeowner tax credit for homeowners and another for childhood health and wellness.
