Protecting our coast is not a barrier to economic prosperity – it is the source of it.
That’s why we’ve partnered with Coastal First Nations to sign the North Coast Protection Declaration and call on the federal government stand firm in its commitment to uphold the tanker ban.

Thank you Amelia and Misty for sharing your story of what the real life impacts are for victims and their families when intimate images are shared without consent. Regardless what side of the aisle we sit on, this is a non-partisan issue, and victims should always be put first.

We have confirmed that BC auto rates will not rise, through to spring 2027. Marking 7 years without an increase, since we lowered rates in 2021.
Because affordable coverage is essential for drivers who rely on their vehicles everyday.

If you’re seriously ill or injured, you shouldn’t have to worry about taking time off to get the treatment you need.
We’re introducing 27 weeks of unpaid, job-protected medical leave, so you can have peace of mind knowing your job is safe while you recover.
