Daily Report December 18, 2019 Today in BC BC Today – Daily Report December 18, 2019 Quotation of the day “It would be so weird if there was an election campaign and I was running against John [Horgan] after we've just spent so long working together. It ​ ​ ​ ​ would just be too weird. I couldn't do it.” BC Green Leader Andrew Weaver, who announced in October that he would not seek re-election, ​ ​ says he just can’t stomach the idea of running against the party his has partnered with for more than two years. Today in B.C. After two years of collaboration, Weaver feels ‘weird’ about the idea of campaigning against the NDP Green Party Leader Andrew Weaver has fought his last election; next month, he will step down ​ ​ just as the race to become his successor as party leader gets underway. Weaver has suggested the Greens would be well-served in choosing a leader from the Lower ​ ​ Mainland and, while he says he does not want to “weigh in” on what the party should do once he’s no longer at the helm, he does have hopes for its future. “There’s a number of potential paths that can be taken from here,” he told BC Today in a ​ ​ year-end interview. “The path that I tried to take it down is one that's focused very much on small business, focused on evidence-based decision making ... on being there for people … and on doing what's right, not what's politically expedient. I would love to see someone continue that forward.” “There's some who might want to take the party in a more eco-socialist [direction],” he added. “That's not my kind of preference, but [I’ll] leave that up to the future leader.” Weaver said he’s aware of one prospective candidate who “shares the same values” he does and, as of last week, had not yet heard of any others planning to get into the leadership race. His October declaration that he would not seek re-election in 2021 and would step down as party leader — in spring 2020, Weaver said at the time — was abrupt but not out-of-character for a politician who proposed legislation that would limit MLAs to no more than 12 years in office earlier this year. “I've always believed politics should be a sense of civic duty — you get in, you do what you say you're going to do and then you get out,” he said. “There are far too many people in politics, including in [the B.C. legislature] who have been here far too long. And when you're here for too long, you ... in many cases forget why you were elected in the first place.” Weaver sees Clean BC, the province’s emission reduction plan, as his crowning achievement. The “ambitious economic plan to build a thriving, climate-responsible and climate-resilient economy” was recognized in the public sector category of Delta Management Group’s 2020 ​ Clean 16 awards in October and prompted Weaver to make his step-down announcement on ​ the first day of the fall sitting. “I did what I said I'm going to do, and it's nationally recognized — that's the time to move on,” he said. “I don't think you can get any better than we’ve got right now — BC Greens, working very collaboratively with government. I know it's not the typical political thing, because you should always, you know, fight one more election.” The unique collaboration between the Greens and the NDP government has also contributed to Weaver’s lack of appetite for another election battle. Weaver now thinks of many NDP cabinet ministers as “quite good friends” and his affection for Premier John Horgan is well-known and ​ ​ thoroughly reciprocated. “I’d have a hell of a hard time running as a leader against them right now ... because campaigns are very antagonistic and I don't like that,” he said. “I like to get shit done.” After two years of working closely with the NDP, campaigning against them would feel “weird” to Weaver. For his part, the premier shares Weaver’s warm sentiments but is more clear-eyed about the realities of election campaigns. “At the end of the day, we're going to be competing for the same votes,” Horgan told BC Today ​ in reaction to Weaver’s comments. Horgan also lamented the failure of the 2018 proportional representation referendum, something his caucus and the Greens “worked hard together” on. Had B.C. switched electoral systems, Horgan believes future election campaigns could have been more positive with less of “the anti-other guy rhetoric” often launched prior to the polls closing. Asked about his own regrets, Weaver did not mention proportional representation, saying instead that he wishes he’d been able to convince the NDP not to proceed with its “generational sell-out,” the courting of liquid natural gas development through a suite of subsidies and incentives. “The only thing we could have done is caused government to fall,” he said of the party’s options on the issue. “I don’t think we could have done more.” Some of Weaver’s concerns about the government’s approach to LNG development were mollified by the NDP’s pledge to include the industry’s emissions in its legislated emission targets. “That avoided an election,” he said of the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Targets Amendment Act, ​ ​ which passed in the spring of 2018. In the next election, Weaver expects the NDP to “go hard against the Greens” as the party tries to move from a minority to a majority in the legislature. After an “ugly” 2017 provincial campaign and disappointingly similar tactics in the 2019 federal campaign, Weaver says he’s ready to leave the political realm. “I don’t want to do that again,” he told BC Today. “I want to leave on a high note.” ​ ​ Today’s events December 18 at 11:30 a.m. — Duncan ​ Education Minister Rob Fleming will be joined by students, educators, school district staff and ​ ​ community members at Cowichan Valley Secondary School for an announcement about supporting local students. December 18 at 1:30 p.m. — Nelson ​ Children and Family Development Minister Katrine Conroy will be joined by Energy, Mines and ​ ​ Petroleum Resources Minister Michelle Mungall, MLA for Nelson—Creston, to celebrate a new ​ ​ campus-based child care centre at Selkirk College's Silver King Campus. December 18 at 5 p.m. — Quesnel ​ Liberal MLA Coralee Oakes (Cariboo North) will attend a Christmas event at the Quesnel ​ ​ Legion, featuring hot chocolate and a visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus. December 18 to 20 — Cariboo and Okanagan regions ​ ​ The Ministry of Forests’ Old Growth Strategic Review panel will visit communities in the ​ ​ ​ ​ Okanagan and Cariboo regions “on or around” these dates to gather “perspectives on managing the province's old-growth forests for ecological, economic and cultural values.” The final sessions are set to take place in the Kootenays in early January. Topics of conversation ● After two years, Premier John Horgan is considering a cabinet shuffle in 2020. “We ​ ​ ​ need to re-tool, we are at the halfway point,” he told Global News in a year-end ​ ​ interview. “There will be some members who will probably not be running again. I need to have those conversations over the winter break. There will probably be some changes in the new year and that’s appropriate.” ○ Since the NDP cabinet was sworn in in July 2017, the only cabinet portfolio shift has been Municipal Affairs and Housing Minister Selina Robinson adding ​ ​ Citizens’ Services to her responsibilities, after NDP MLA Jinny Sims resigned ​ ​ her cabinet post in October following news that a special prosecutor was investigating unspecified allegations against her. ● Finance ministers from across Canada joined federal Finance Minister Bill Morneau in ​ ​ Ottawa this week to discuss national pharmacare, equalization, the fiscal stabilization ​ program, and the Canada Pension Plan. Alberta Finance Minister Travis Toews pushed ​ ​ ​ for changes to the fiscal stabilization program — backed by Canadian premiers in their joint communique signed at this month’s Council of the Federation meeting — such as removing the $60 per capita cap, lowering the qualifying threshold for resource and non-resource revenues, and making retroactive payments to provinces underserved by the program over the last five years. Morneau said any changes to the program will not be made until next year. ○ In 2020-21, the Government of B.C. is scheduled to receive $5.6 billion from the federal health transfer, and another $2 billion in social transfers. That equates to $1,495 per capita, the same amount as Ontario, Saskatchewan and Alberta. ● B.C. and Ontario’s information and privacy commissioners have launched a joint investigation into the cyberattack on LifeLabs that may have compromised the personal ​ ​ information of up to 15 million Canadians. The laboratory testing company first reported a potential breach in November and later confirmed the attack had affected the personal information — including names, addresses, logins and passwords, health card numbers ​ and lab tests — of millions of customers. While the company has retained outside cybersecurity consultants to investigate and help resecure its data, the provincial commissioners plan to look into the incident to determine if LifeLabs could have taken steps to prevent and contain the breach and look at ways to improve its cybersecurity and avoid further attacks. ○ "I am deeply concerned about this matter,” B.C. commissioner Michael McEvoy ​ said in a statement. “Our independent offices are committed to thoroughly investigating this breach. We will publicly report our findings and recommendations once our work is complete." ● BC Cannabis Stores are expected to have cannabis edibles, extracts and topicals for ​ ​ sale as of tomorrow but only via online sales.

    B.C. Today – Daily Report June 17, 2019 Quotation of the day “We need John Horgan and his government to step up and take action — any action — to help our small, forest-dependent towns get through this challenging time.” Liberal MLA Dan Davies (Peace River North) says the NDP government has not done enough ​ ​ to support forestry-dependent communities, as mills around the province continue to close and curtail production. Today in B.C. The House is adjourned for the summer recess. Committees this week The Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services is conducting public ​ consultations on Budget 2020 this week, starting with a session in Prince Rupert at the Highliner ​ Plaza Hotel and Conference Centre at 2 p.m. today. Committee members will also visit Kitimat, Prince George, Fort St. John and Quesnel before heading back to the Lower Mainland for a consultation in Abbotsford on Thursday. The consultation period ends on June 28. Mill closures and curtailments lead to political jousting As announcements of mill closures and curtailments pile up, the opposition B.C. Liberals are calling on the NDP government to slash stumpage rates and reduce the carbon tax for the province’s forestry sector. “To date, the John Horgan government has thrown up its hands and told forest-dependent ​ ​ communities there is nothing it can do to help them,” Liberal Leader Andrew Wilkinson said in ​ ​ a statement, released in tandem with a letter addressed to the premier last week. “This is failed leadership on the part of John Horgan — plain and simple.

  • 1 Honourable Katrine Conroy Minister of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource
    Honourable Katrine Conroy Minister of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development Parliament Buildings Victoria, British Columbia V8V 1X4 February 22, 2021 RE: Proposed transfer of Replaceable Forest License A17007 in the Fort Nelson Timber Supply Area from Canadian Forest Products Ltd. (Canfor) to Peak Fort Nelson Properties Ltd. Dear Minister Conroy, CC: Nathan Cullen, Minister of State for Lands and Natural Resource Operations; Roly Russell, Parliamentary Secretary for Rural Development; George Heyman, Minister of Environment and Climate Change Before we discuss the problems with the license transfer itself, we strongly urge you to extend the public comment period by a minimum of two months past the current deadline of February 26th, 2021. We are a group of concerned citizens in northern British Columbia, and this opportunity to voice our opinion has only become known to us in the last few days. A tenure transfer of this size is significant and will drastically change the way forests are managed in northeastern BC. The Minister’s office ought to seek meaningful public engagement on this issue, not hide the fact that this transfer is being considered. A decision to allow this transfer and pellet mill to go ahead would be in direct opposition to your Ministry's mandate to “lead the transition of our forestry sector from high-volume to high-value production”. Pellets are a very low-value use of forests; their production involves minimal processing of trees and produces very few jobs. The Peak Renewables pellet mill would require somewhere between 20,000 and 24,000 cubic metres of wood to sustain just one full-time job at its plant.

  • BC Veterinarians Need Your Help Combined
    Hello If you wish to help BC veterinarians address the shortage of veterinarians, you may wish to write your local MLA and ask them to support and increase to the number of BC students trained as veterinarians. Below is a sample email for you to send to your local MLA. You can also add to the email or replace it with your own. After the sample email, on page 2 and 3, is a list of all MLA email addresses to help you to find your MLA contact information. Should you wish to learn more about the shortage of veterinarians and the need for additional BC students to be trained as veterinarians, please scroll down to page 4 to read our summary document. Your help is greatly appreciated! Dear MLA, I wish to add my name to the list of British Columbians who find the shortage of veterinarians in BC unacceptable. We understand that BC can add an additional 20 BC student seats to BC’s regional veterinary college, but that the government declined to do so, citing costs. In the interest of animal health and welfare issues including relief from suffering and unnecessary death, public health, and biosecurity for BC, we ask you to ask the Minister of Advanced Education Anne Kang to fund an additional 20 BC seats at WCVM effective immediately. As a BC resident, I want my voice added as an individual who cares about the health and welfare of animals and who wishes the government to provide funding to help alleviate the shortage of veterinarians in BC.

  • B.C. Today – Daily Report July 18, 2019 “Being In
    B.C. Today – Daily Report July 18, 2019 Quotation of the day “Being in opposition sucks.” Liberal Forests critic John Rustad prefers government to opposition. ​ ​ Today in B.C. The House is adjourned for the summer recess. Two years of the NDP: Liberal MLAs on life in opposition Two years ago today, Premier John Horgan and the NDP cabinet were sworn in as B.C.’s ​ ​ government, more than two months after the 2017 election in which the B.C. Liberal Party won a plurality of votes and seats. Despite rampant speculation that the NDP alliance with the Green Party would fail within months, there is little indication the province will be heading back to the polls any time soon. To mark the second anniversary of the swearing in, BC Today interviewed three Liberal MLAs ​ ​ — two former cabinet ministers and one who is serving his first term in provincial office — to discuss the challenges of serving in opposition. “Talk about a whirlwind.” After nearly a decade as a city councillor, Liberal Agriculture critic Ian Paton was elected to ​ ​ represent Delta South in May 2017 and was thrilled to be heading to the legislature as a member of the governing party — or so he thought. “Winning the election was pretty cool,” Paton said. “We were setting up our offices in the east wing. Then, of course, everything sort of went sideways with the Greens teaming up with the NDP and … suddenly we were in opposition.” On June 29, the Liberal government fell in a confidence vote, forced by NDP and Green Party MLAs who together held 44 seats to the Liberals’ 42.
