Guest: Ken Peacock, Economist at Business Council of BC

"We're in pretty good shape."

That is according to Ken Peacock, the Chief Economist at the Business Council of British Columbia, while giving his report card on the province's economy.

"We probably will see fast economic growth this year and perhaps next year as well, close to Ontario, so we'll be right near the top of the heap of the provincial growth rankings." Peacock sites our relatively diverse and resilient economy are at the core of our economic well being.
