Today Minister @rparmarbc.bsky.social and I provided an update on the 2025 wildfire season. Thank you to the local governments, First Nations, BC Wildfire Service, fire fighters, first responders, emergency management personnel and many others that continue to support people and communities. (1/2)

Great discussion with Alberta's Minister of Jobs, Economy and Trade, Joseph Schow, on breaking down interprovincial trade barriers for a truly integrated Canadian marketplace.

I always thought Premier Dave Eby is tall. Turns out he has some competition! 😯

It was a fantastic day with perfect weather to celebrate pride in Vancouver!

We were able to join in solidarity with the 2SLGBTQIA+ community today and every day.

Happy Pride, Vancouver!

Just a couple features on my walking tour of Summerland with Mayor Doug Holmes: 60 affordable housing units under construction and new childcare spaces! 🏘️
I’m proud to be part of a government that makes these meaningful investments across BC.

Canadians are positive people.

We’ve always been good neighbours, but we know how to stand up against threats to our sovereignty, our economy and our jobs.

With solid partnerships, we’re creating good jobs for BCers - now and into the future.

Through our publicly owned, BC Hydro - we are building projects as critical to B.C.’s economic future as the North Coast Transmission Line.⚡️

No matter what Trump’s ambassador says, Canadians aren’t “mean and nasty” for choosing to buy Canadian and travel locally.

We’re taking a stand against Trump’s threats to our sovereignty and standing on our own two feet.

Let's hold the line.

Our government is making it easier than ever for internationally-trained doctors to bring their skills to B.C.

We are implementing a four cornerstone approach of retention, redesign, recruitment, and training in order to relieve our #healthcareprofessional shortage.

British Columbia has reached a trade agreement with Ontario.

This will make it easier for people to work in both provinces, provide producers easier access to markets, while giving consumers more choice.

We sent coffee and tea to health care workers in Seattle so we could share the many benefits of working in our beautiful province.

It’s a win-win situation – when more talented professionals join our health care system, patients benefit from compassionate, evidence-based care.

🎉 The expanded Penticton Oncology Clinic opens today at Penticton Regional Hospital! With double the treatment bays, added comfort & privacy, and room for 400 more patients each year, it brings better cancer care closer to home in the South Okanagan 💙 #CancerCare

The Supreme Court of BC has certified our class action against McKinsey & Company, Inc., clearing the path to pursue those who helped promote and sell the opioid products that caused so much harm for families

This marks another step forward in holding those accountable who fueled the opioid crisis

My mission since becoming Minister has been the same: standing up for workers and restoring confidence in forestry.

I am humbled and prepared to serve as Chair of the Canadian Council of Forest Ministers, where I will defend that mission on the international stage.

Everyone deserves to live without threats to their safety.

I’m asking Prime Minister Carney to list the Lawrence Bishnoi gang as a terrorist group in Canada, which will give police additional tools they need to stop and prevent the extortion of Canadians.

People who live and travel in BC’s coastal communities rely on BC Ferries to get where they need to be. They know that we need new ferries in place now.

We’ll work with the federal government to bolster our shipbuilding sector so future ferries can be built right here at home.

As we wrap things up in Tokyo and head to Osaka, our focus is on strengthening our trade and supporting jobs in BC.

I look forward to expanding our partnerships and building a stronger future for BC.

Today, we announced 18 new care beds at Alouette Homes, providing people who have severe mental-health challenges, often coupled with substance-use challenges and brain injuries, with housing and care that is safe and dignified.👇🏼

We’re working on many BC Salmon Restoration and Innovation Fund projects to keep our rivers clean and fishes thriving!

From tagging salmon to restoring spawning habitats, every effort helps build healthier watersheds. #BCSRIF

#DearBC

People from all over the U.S. have been writing to us and sharing their support for B.C.

Thank you for your letters. We know many Americans stand with us. Together, we will get through this. ❤️✨

There is no British Columbia without workers - I will never stop fighting for them.

Thank you to President Al Bieksa & the members of USW 2009 for the opportunity to speak at your annual delegate meeting.

Our government stands with you, today & always, we’ve got your back ✊🏾

Trumps unjustified tariffs are hurting people on both sides of the border.

It’s bad news for Canadian and American families alike.

Thank you Austin, we appreciate the support from south of the border!

In the face of President Trump’s threats, British Columbians are more united than ever.

I sat down with Sky News in my office earlier this week.

British Columbia is taking action to attract doctors, nurses from U.S. The Province is taking new steps to attract more doctors and nurses from the U.S. by fast-tracking credential recognition and launching a co-ordinated, targeted recruitment campaign.

In 2024, our government connected more people to a primary care provider than ever before.
 
Today, Minister @josieosborne.bsky.social announced further actions to attract more doctors and nurses to connect people to the care they need, faster.

Today I rose to speak about the Residential Schools and the misinformation that is being spread by members of this House.

Racism should never be a partisan issue.
