BC businesses are the backbone of our growing economy. Our government is working to reduce permit approval times and standing up to defend job-creating BC businesses. Together, we’re building a BC where everyone can build a good life for themselves.

BC deserves the same benefits as other provinces. We will fight for fair treatment and rather than focus on a two-month holiday, we’re gonna deliver a $1,000/household middle-class tax cut, that will benefit families every year on a permanent basis. Because people need significant relief.

Anyone who has lost a loved to the opioid crisis will tell you, no amount of money can bring them back or take away the pain. But we’re going to make big companies and bad actors face the consequences for the harm their products cause.

Rustad picks anti-vaccine convoy donor as health critic | New Democrat BC Government Caucus
John Rustad has picked several MLAs who have expressed bigoted views and spread conspiracy theories for important roles in his shadow cabinet. His new Health critic is “Freedom” Convoy donor Anna Kind...
John Rustad’s decision to empower MLAs like Anna Kindy who have extreme and bigoted views shows he’s not focused on the priorities of British Columbians like connecting people with more family doctors.
Rustad’s B.C. Conservatives just aren’t working for everyday British Columbians.
