Grateful to receive support for Bill M216 from Homes for Living YYJ. A community housing advocacy group.

“To meet affordability goals, we must ensure that it is faster and easier to build dense infill housing rather than suburban sprawl.”

One year ago, we lost Premier John Horgan, a leader who met the moment for B.C. with courage, humility, and heart.

He believed in young people and pushed all of us to dream bigger for this province. John’s example still guides us.

🏠 BC has made real progress on housing, but young people still face steep barriers.

I’ve introduced a bill to speed up permits, cut costs, & get more homes built faster.
