January 11, 2021 BC Today – Daily Report January 11, 2021 Quotation of the day “I’m very worried NDP incompetence will not help people in need.” Liberal Jobs critic Todd Stone has concerns about B.C.’s prospects for economic recovery ​ ​ ​ under the NDP in light of December’s labour force survey. Today in B.C. Written by Shannon Waters On the schedule The house is adjourned until March 1. There are currently no committee meetings scheduled for the remainder of January. The next committee set to meet is the Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services on February 1. The agenda has not yet been posted. No ‘one size fits all’ approach to implementing Declaration Act ​ How will B.C.’s Declaration Act — over a year old and not yet fully implemented — affect the ​ ​ NDP government’s approach to legislation in the coming years? It could mean more time is needed in the lead-up to drafting new bills, according to Premier John Horgan, who told BC Today the law commits the province to “discussing our legislation in ​ ​ ​ some detail beyond what we have done in the past with the First Nations Leadership Council and others who are affected.” Along with prepping Budget 2021, Horgan said the two-month span before the next session begins will be spent ensuring forthcoming spring bills comply with the act’s commitments. But not every piece of legislation will have to be hashed out with an eye to the United Nations declaration, according to Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation Minister Murray Rankin. ​ ​ “Many bills just simply will not,” Rankin said, citing legislation related to “financing and finance authorities” as examples of legislation that may not require much consultation with Indigenous stakeholders. The issue came up during the December session when Liberal Attorney General critic Mike de ​ Jong asked Finance Minister Selina Robinson whether her ministry consulted with Indigenous ​ ​ ​ peoples on the Finance Statutes Amendment Act, which enabled the delay of the 2021 budget. ​ ​ No consultations were done, Robinson said, because “changing a date for the budget, with no interruptions of funding and services, does not have an impact on Indigenous rights and title.” Indigenous relations minister wants to simplify process with pre-approved template Rankin — whose task list for this year includes crafting a dedicated secretariat to ensure ​ ​ provincial policies and legislation are consistent with the United Nations declaration — suggested “certain categories” of bills and regulations could be crafted via an approved template that ensures their compliance with the declaration (although, during the December interview, Rankin said he had yet to run the idea by Indigenous stakeholders). Rankin views the full implementation of the Declaration Act as “a machinery of government ​ ​ issue” — building efficient and effective processes will be key to ensuring the legislation process can be conducted smoothly. “[Some bills] we’ll need to really drill down on depending on the nature of the bill in question,” he told BC Today. “If that's the case — and we have a clear process, which everybody has signed ​ ​ off on — it may not be as difficult as people have suggested it might be.” “In other words, one size fits all will not work in this field,” he added. The Declaration Act also requires all of the province’s existing laws and regulations comply with ​ ​ the UN declaration. Asked which undertaking will be more complicated — drafting new laws or reviewing old ones — Rankin suggested that ensuring retroactive compliance may be arduous but could be less complex. The former federal representative harkened back to the introduction of the Canadian Charter in the 1980s, which required a “massive review” of legislation for issues related to discrimination. “I don’t remember it being that complicated — it just was time consuming,” Rankin said. “So I don't know that going back in time will be all that difficult — if we start off on the right tone, and we have a good framework in which to do the work going forward.” Today’s events January 11 at 3 p.m. — Online ​ ​ Provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry and Health Minister Adrian Dix will provide an ​ ​ ​ ​ update on Covid in B.C. January 11-15 at 6 p.m. — Online ​ ​ The BC Liberal Party is holding another series of virtual renewal meetings this week to solicit ideas on what the party “needs to do going forward in order to strengthen [the] organization in the years to come.” Topics of conversation ● B.C. reported 617 new cases of Covid on Friday. There were 6,118 active cases (down 231) with 358 Covid patients hospitalized (down 14), 75 of them critical (up one). Eighteen new deaths were reported, pushing the total to 988. ○ Cowichan Tribes members are under a shelter in place order until January 22 ​ ​ following the confirmation of 23 Covid cases among members since the beginning of the month. ○ The Snuneymuxw First Nation, which is also experiencing an outbreak, reported ​ that 71 per cent of the on-reserve community received a shot of the Moderna vaccine. Island Health is monitoring the effectiveness of the community-based ​ ​ vaccine intervention. ● The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends keeping the interval between doses of Pfizer-BioNTech’s Covid vaccine to 21 to 28 days, but — in “exceptional epidemiological circumstances” — the interval can be extended up to 42 days. Supply ​ ​ constraints and high case counts may necessitate a “pragmatic approach” to managing the dosage interval, according to the WHO’s immunization advisory group. ○ B.C. is currently planning to administer doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine 35 days apart. ● The NDP government needs to provide more specifics on the province’s Covid vaccination plan, according to the BC Liberals. ○ “People are looking to this government for a detailed plan that answers important questions like how it is being distributed, what the timelines are, and why there are differences in health authorities,” Liberal Health critic Renee Merrifield said ​ ​ in a statement. “Everyone deserves more answers than what they’ve been getting from John Horgan and the NDP so far.” ​ ​ ○ The province plans to vaccinate about 550,000 people in high-priority and high-risk groups by the end of March. ● The mayor of Castlegar is stepping down in the wake of reporting that he travelled to a ​ ​ family cabin in the Okanagan over the holidays, against advice from B.C.’s public health officer. Bruno Tassone chalked his resignation up to “lateral violence” and “bullying ​ ​ behaviour” from fellow Castlegar councillors and media. ○ “I find it extremely disheartening that certain council members who wish to stand for inclusion, advocation and awareness around mental health have come to be the very people instigating and inflicting pain onto others,” Tassone wrote in a letter to council members. News briefs B.C. the only province to add jobs in December ● Employment in B.C. did not change much in December 2020, increasing 0.2 per cent over the previous month. Gains in full-time positions (+24,000) were offset by losses in part-time positions (-20,300) for an overall increase of 3,800 positions. Unemployment in the province barely budged — dropping 0.1 per cent from November — at 7.2 per cent. ○ The accommodation and food services sector saw the largest declines in B.C. while the construction sector made the biggest gains. ○ Jobs Minister Ravi Kahlon noted B.C.’s employment is back to 98.7 per cent of ​ ​ pre-pandemic levels. Kahlon highlighted “reasons for hope” in long-term economic forecasts, which predict the province will see the highest GDP growth in the country this year, but acknowledged “disproportionate [economic] impacts on people of colour” and bleak outcomes for the tourism and hospitality sectors. ○ Liberal Jobs critic Todd Stone highlighted job losses for youth workers — 3,500 ​ ​ jobs lost in B.C. in December and a 1.1 per cent drop countrywide — and said in a statement he is “very worried NDP incompetence will not help people in need” this year. ○ “We have been urging the NDP government to come up with a sector-by-sector jobs plan and provide immediate economic relief to our distressed labour market, particularly the restaurant and tourism sector,” Stone said. “How can British Columbians expect a faster job recovery when the government makes it so difficult for businesses barely hanging on to get the help they need to survive?” Funding announcements ● Buzz, Buzz. B.C. beekeepers and apian organizations can now apply for the latest round of grants from Bee BC. Grants of up to $5,000 will go to bee health and habitat ​ ​ preservation projects.

  • A HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION for the 21ST CENTURY: British Columbians Talk About Human Rights
    A HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION FOR THE 21ST CENTURY: British Columbians talk about Human Rights A report and recommendations to the Attorney General of British Columbia “Indigenous peoples don’t have control to do what they need to do to prosper. To build infrastructure, schools, hospitals and police stations — to make their communities rich and have what other cities have.” — Juanita Coltman (Squli’qwana), participant at the Indigenous Peoples Workshop held in Vancouver “I am a Person with Disability (PWD) as defined by both the provincial as well as the federal legislation and survive on PWD and CPP Disability Benefits. This situation has resulted because of an accident. I am a highly educated and well- informed person. I am trying to stand up on my feet again to support myself, my family and my community. However, at every step the discrimination takes place as people instead of recognizing my strengths and potential, recognize my disability and refuse to accept me and it is acting as a stumbling block in my rehabilitation and success and there is no law to take action against them and correct this position. It is disheartening.” — Ashfaq “I grew up in a white, hard-working family with biases. Biases against people with non-white skin, non-heterosexual, non- Christian, etc. — basically anyone that wasn’t like us. Differences in socio-economics were always attributed to the personal failings of the individual, rather than anything systemic, and certainly nothing we had any responsibility for. I feel very fortunate that I had the opportunity to go to university and learn about all the systemic factors that contribute — and often dictate — a person’s position in life.

    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.

    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.

    November 26, 2020 Honourable Murray Rankin Minister of Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation Parliament Buildings Victoria, British Columbia V8V 1X4 Dear Minister Rankin: Thank you for agreeing to serve British Columbians as Minister of Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation. You are taking on this responsibility at a time when people in our province face significant challenges as a result of the global COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 has turned the lives of British Columbians upside down. None of us expected to face the challenges of the past number of months, yet British Columbians have demonstrated incredible resilience, time and time again. We will get through the pandemic and its aftereffects by building on this resilience and focusing on what matters most to people. British Columbians voted for a government focused on their priorities: fighting the COVID-19 pandemic, providing better health care for people and families, delivering affordability and security in our communities, and investing in good jobs and livelihoods in a clean-energy future. I expect you – and the work of your ministry – to focus on the commitments detailed in our platform, Working for You, along with the following foundational principles: ● Putting people first: Since 2017, our government has focused on making decisions to meet people's needs. That focus drove our work in our first term and will continue to be our priority. British Columbians are counting on the government to keep them safe and to build an economic recovery that works for everyone, not just those at the top. Keeping people at the centre of everything we do means protecting and enhancing the public services people rely on and working to make life more affordable for everyone.

  • News Release
    June 29, 2016 Standing Committee on International Trade 6th Floor 131 Queen Street House of Commons Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A6 via email: [email protected] Dear Committee Members: In recent months, there has been a great deal of debate about the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP) and what it means for Canada. The federal government has committed to a study of the agreement’s potential impacts on the Canadian economy; however, to date nothing has been made public, and we have been told no such study yet exists. How can the government possibly sign onto a massive international trade agreement without knowing the impacts it will have, or the potential consequences for the Canadian economy, the public and the environment? In fact, it would be irresponsible to proceed in this way. A genuine and independent economic impact analysis that considers all the implications of this agreement should be mandatory. Possibly one of the reasons for this failure to do an impact study is that the government knows full well that any benefits from the TPP will be marginal at best, while the damage done will be serious. A 2016 study from the C.D. Howe Institute predicts that the macroeconomic impact of the TPP on the Canadian economy would be a mere 0.068% growth in GDP by 2035. Perhaps even more interesting is that the study predicts only a 0.026% drop in GDP by 2035 if Canada does not ratify the TPP. This mirrors the recent US International Trade Commission’s study that showed that the TPP will increase the US trade deficit and will have almost no positive impact on the US economy.

    BC Today – Daily Report November 13, 2019 Quotation of the day “Clearly, there’s something wrong with the gas market in British Columbia, and we want to get to the bottom of that.” Premier John Horgan says he plans to “reinforce” Ottawa’s role in resolving the issue of B.C.’s high ​ ​ gas prices with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. ​ ​ Today in B.C. On the schedule The house is adjourned until Monday, November 18. Fuel companies provide ‘inconclusive or conflicting’ explanations for B.C.’s gas price gap, fail to sway utilities commission In its supplementary report released yesterday, the B.C. Utilities Commission (BCUC) found fuel ​ ​ companies’ attempts to explain the comparatively high cost of gas in B.C. unconvincing. In its original August report, the BCUC determined wholesale gasoline costs in the province are about 13 cents per litre higher than other jurisdictions — a “significant unexplained difference” that is costing B.C. drivers $490 million per year. During follow-up consultations, fuel companies — including Parkland Fuel Corporation, Imperial Oil Limited and Suncor Energy — suggested land and transportation costs, and federal and provincial fuel standards, affect prices and could account for nearly eight cents of the price differential. The BCUC found those arguments unconvincing. “The evidence is either inconclusive or conflicting, making it impossible to determine an appropriate quantum for an adjustment, if any,” the report concludes. “As such, the panel’s best estimate is that the unexplained difference could potentially range from 10 [cents per litre] to the originally reported 13 [cents per litre].” A case of ‘the tail wagging the dog’ Despite the fact that B.C.
