Fantastic start to the day supporting @bcgeu.bsky.social workers on the picket line in Victoria!
When workers earn a living wage, we all benefit.

This was my first Q in Question Period today, on raising disability rates above the poverty line. My follow-up was more blunt:
To the Minister of Social Development and Poverty Reduction: Could you survive with a household income of less than $2300 per month?

Last week, the Min. of Housing lauded his government’s work on affordable housing. He said that housing is central, housing is health care. But gaps in BC's services continue to let people fall through the cracks.
When will the Minister provide housing options that actually meet peoples’ needs?

This morning, MLAs from all parties gathered to recognize the National Day of Mourning, honoring workers who have died, were injured or became ill as a result of their job. We came together with heavy hearts, thinking about all those affected by this weekend's tragedy at the Lapu Lapu Festival.

In response to tariff threats, this govt has promised a wave of new mines, fossil fuel infrastructure, and clean energy projects, all with faster review processes. But the 2025 Budget didn’t include new funding for environmental assessments, public consultations, or Indigenous title negotiations.
