Today, my first bill, the Sexual Violence Policy Act, passed committee stage and third reading. We are one step away from it becoming law.
This legislation strengthens protections against sexual violence on public post-secondary campuses, so campuses across B.C. can become safer for all students.

For too long, vape & e-cigarette manufacturers have used deceptive marketing to maximize profits at the expense of people’s health. Today’s announcement on our first-of-its-kind legislation will make it possible for us to take legal action against bad-faith actors to recover public health costs.

This new legislation will support families across the province, and provide consistency for kids who will receive education and child care in the same space.
Most parents don’t work 9-3 and may end up scrambling to pick up their kids after school.
We’ve introduced legislation that, if passed, would allow school districts to offer seamless child care before and after school, on school grounds.

Today, we remember the children who never returned home from residential school. We stand with the survivors of these depraved institutions and the survivors of the intergenerational trauma that started within their walls.

A simple connection to a new single-family home has dropped by more than 90% - from over $800 to now be as low as $64. 🏡
