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.
