Firefighters — They fight wild blazes in the bush, scale apartments to rescue families, and venture into houses without knowing what awaits them.

Proud to support our firefighters

While we work to expand and improve everything from education to healthcare, the opposition seems to be forgetting their own history.
They did one thing to our essential services. Cuts, cuts, and more cuts.
We will always fight to protect British Columbians.

As of late 2025, BC is outperforming the rest of Canada in domestic exports in the international market.
We are talking about almost 8% increases when the rest of Canada dropped down 4%.
In other words, yes we are fighting back against tariffs.
#bcpoli
NAFTA Panel has made its verdict: Canada has been a fair trading partner to the US. Something we already knew.
The panel agrees, tariffs on BC lumber are unjustified and punitive.
The best way forward is for our countries to come to the table and negotiate a deal.

When Donald Trump attacks our softwood lumber industry, he’s not attacking trees. He’s attacking families, paycheques, and communities in British Columbia.
We will not let Trump dictate the future of BC forestry workers.

My thoughts are with the community of Fraser Lake after the news of a devastating fire.
This community have been true leaders in the work we’ve done together. I’ve seen the will of the people of Fraser Lake, and I know they will work together to recover from this loss.
A working forest means active land management, area-based approaches, full-rotation work, and long-term stewardship.
Our forests aren’t just beautiful - they’re a key economic asset. One that must be protected.

We’re with the BC Council of Forest Industries walking through the vision together.
We’re bringing everyone along this path, because it is their work that will get us there.

I recently met with our BC Value-Added Wood Coalition.
Our value-added wood manufacturers are key to building economic hubs.
This means, in a working forest, they are crucial to connecting the market with the on-the-ground work.

Everett Baker, Mayor of Grand Forks.
He’s fought hard for his forest community, travelling to Ottawa on his own dime to push for federal support.
I’ll be travelling out to Grand Forks in the coming months, to meet with the people who depend on the sector.
