Did you know we have cooper and gold here on Vancouver Island? I sure didn’t, but we absolutely do!

A mine on the north Island was selected by the Critical Minerals Office

Faster economic development while supporting reconciliation and protecting communities, partners and the planet.

The BC Human Rights Code exists to protect people from discrimination and exclusion.

I’m appalled that the BC Conservatives support repealing protections for people based on race, gender and ability.

In British Columbia, human rights should never be up for debate.

As the world faces ongoing economic uncertainty, #Budget2026 makes careful choices to protect what matters most to British Columbians. We’re safeguarding the services people rely on, while strengthening and growing BC’s economy.

Today, Sikh communities will be celebrating Gurpurab – the 556th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the founder of the Sikh faith.

Happy Gurpurab!

Protecting our coast is not a barrier to economic prosperity – it is the source of it.

That’s why we’ve partnered with Coastal First Nations to sign the North Coast Protection Declaration and call on the federal government stand firm in its commitment to uphold the tanker ban.

Thank you Amelia and Misty for sharing your story of what the real life impacts are for victims and their families when intimate images are shared without consent. Regardless what side of the aisle we sit on, this is a non-partisan issue, and victims should always be put first.

We have confirmed that BC auto rates will not rise, through to spring 2027. Marking 7 years without an increase, since we lowered rates in 2021.

Because affordable coverage is essential for drivers who rely on their vehicles everyday.

If you’re seriously ill or injured, you shouldn’t have to worry about taking time off to get the treatment you need.

We’re introducing 27 weeks of unpaid, job-protected medical leave, so you can have peace of mind knowing your job is safe while you recover.
