BIG NEWS! 🚗
Today I introduced legislation that will let people renew most licences or replace lost or damaged cards online through ICBC. This will save you time & reduce lineups, making it more convenient for people across BC to access ICBC services, especially those in rural & remote communities.

I’m encouraged to see that Bill C-14 has passed through the House of Commons recently. I’m looking forward to the Senate passing this Bill soon to make these changes law. This legislation will ensure offenders are held accountable & give us new tools to support victims & address public safety issues

Wishing peace, reflection, and abundant blessings to all those observing Ramadan this year 🌙

Wishing everyone celebrating a happy, healthy Lunar New Year! 🧧🎉
Lunar New Year, a traditional time of community and renewal begins today.
As we say goodbye to the Year of the Snake and welcome the Year of the Fire Horse, we are also thinking of the people of Tumbler Ridge, who endured an incomprehensible tragedy last week.

Canadians and British Columbians are coming together, we are united as we stand with Tumbler Ridge and each other, in grief and in support.
That is who we have to be.
We can't this tragedy be exploited to attack Trans and queer people.
Choose love, choose truth, choose care

This morning I spoke with Ryan Price at CFAX about how BC is leading the way in keeping children safe online, but there is so much more we could be doing. That’s why I am calling for federal online safety legislation, so we ensure we have the best tools possible to protect our kids from online harms

World #SaferInternetDay is a chance for all of us to recommit to creating online spaces that are safe for everyone. In BC we are doing this through landmark legislation like the #IntimateImagesProtectionAct and educating youth, parents, and educators about ways to protect yourself online.

Recently I talked with Mo Amir at This Is VANCOLOUR about the tools the federal government has to set standards and protect children from online harms when using social media. Protecting children from these harms is paramount, as we know tragic cases can occur when there aren’t standards in place.

During #AccesstoJustice Week, we launched a free online service for remote court registry access and welcomed a new class of sheriffs. Each step brings BC closer to a modern, fair #justice system built around people.

I recently sat down with Swift AM to talk about how tackling the #extortion challenges is our top public safety priority. We are here, we are listening, and we are responding. We value each and every business in #Surrey and our government won’t stop until people feel safe in their community.

We're making sure police and partner agencies have the resources they need to help keep people and their families safe from extortion threats.
If you're being threatened, report it to police. Tips reported to police help bring criminals to justice.

So happy to see more homes protected in Vancouver-Hastings. With support from BC’s Rental Protection Fund, over 40 homes in our community are now protected & nearly 2,200 homes have been secured across BC. More stability for the families & long-time residents who deserve to stay in their communities

From improving supports for survivors of sexual violence, strengthening protections against non‑consensual image sharing, securing federal bail reforms to address repeat offending, and modernizing family law, our government is building a justice system that serves everyone in BC.

I spoke to RED FM today about how from advocating for stricter bail & sentencing changes in the Criminal Code to providing more on the ground resources, we are working to stop #extortion in #Surrey. Every time there needs to be an adjustment to how we tackle this problem, we will make that change.

People of African descent have been a part of this province since at least 1858 when the first of about 800 free African American people arrived in Victoria. From those beginnings, Black Canadians have made enormous contributions to our province.

An exciting afternoon yesterday touring the new Simon Fraser University Medical School! While the site is still under construction, seeing the new digital anatomy lab with its VR technology was incredible. Can’t wait for this incredible facility to be supporting the next generation of doctors 🩺
