B.C. Today – Daily Report April 5, 2019 “It Wasn't B.C. Today – Daily Report April 5, 2019 Quotation of the day “It wasn’t carbon taxes. It wasn’t fuel taxes. It wasn’t excise taxes. It’s just profits to oil companies.” Premier John Horgan says “gas companies gouging” led to record high gas prices in B.C. this ​ ​ week — not the increase to the provincial carbon tax. Today in B.C. On the schedule The House is adjourned until 10 a.m. on Monday, April 8. Thursday’s debate and proceedings Public Safety Minister and Solicitor General Mike Farnworth introduced Bill 13, Community ​ ​ ​ ​ Safety Amendment Act, which, if passed, will give authorities more power to deal with “nuisance properties” — homes where drug sales or other crimes are taking place — and establish a confidential system for reporting them. Finance Minister Carole James introduced Bill 26, Financial Services Authority Act, which, if ​ ​ ​ ​ passed, will establish a new, independent Crown agency to regulate credit unions, insurance ​ companies, pensions and mortgage brokers. Liberal House Leader Mary Polak presented a 17,000-signature petition asking the government ​ ​ to ban smoking in multi-unit residential buildings. Following question period, Government House Leader Mike Farnworth called for third reading ​ ​ of Bill 10, Income Tax Amendment Act, which will finalize B.C.’s pro-LNG fiscal framework. The ​ ​ ​ Green Party caucus forced further debate on the bill, proposing two amendments: one calling for a second round of committee review and another that would delay third reading for six months. Both failed. Bill 10 passed third reading with the support of the NDP government caucus and all B.C. Liberal ​ MLAs who were in the chamber (several, including leader Andrew Wilkinson, were not ​ ​ present) and over the objection of the three-member B.C. Green caucus (Ayes 76; Nays 3). The House then turned its attention to the estimates for the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. Committee A continued its review of the estimates for the Ministry of Jobs, Trade ​ and Technology. In the House Health Minister Adrian Dix welcomed representatives from the Canadian Cancer Society to the ​ ​ House. The legislature hosted a Daffodil Month campaign yesterday morning. ​ ​ Provincial taxes aren’t to blame for record-high gas prices: Premier During his weekly media availability with the legislative press gallery, Premier John Horgan ​ said he is disappointed in the “massive spikes in [gas] prices” across B.C. “with no rationale.” Some Lower Mainland communities are seeing the price at the pumps set new records at 163.9 per litre. “The carbon tax went up one penny on Monday,” Horgan told reporters. That does not reconcile with a 12 … or 14 cent increase throughout the week. I look at the commodity price and it is still pretty low for a barrel of crude oil. If you go to the pump, you see these unreasonable increase in cost. It’s not about governments gouging. It’s about gas companies gouging.” Horgan rejected the idea that the twinning of the Trans Mountain pipeline would bring relief for B.C. drivers. “We need more refined product, to be sure, but that’s not the plan [for Trans Mountain] as I understand it, and if the federal government is changing that I would like to hear it,” Horgan said. “Instead of purchasing a pipeline as the federal government did, perhaps if they wanted to get into the oil business, they should have gone into refining.” The B.C. government is not currently considering easing up on any of the provincial gas taxes, but Horgan said they will be watching the issue through the summer. “If the price increases persist through the summer, we will look at other options,” he told reporters. “If we are in a position to provide relief, then we’ll do that.” “Offensive” questions and pay transparency On the week’s bitter question period exchanges over the government’s handling of pay increases for workers in the social services sector, Horgan was visibly frustrated, saying the Liberals “lack the moral high ground” to criticize his government on the issue. “We gave a six per cent increase over three years to the entire sector,” he said. “The challenge is low wage redress and that low wage disparity did not happen over the past eighteen months, it happened over the past 16 years. This issue is being exploited by B.C. Liberals and I find that offensive.” The premier does not believe that a legislative approach is the best way to attempt to close the gender pay gap. “I don’t believe that a piece of legislation will move us in the right direction,” he said. “If we had balance on boards of private sector companies, if we had balance on executives of private sector companies, we would see much faster action than passing a private members’ bill here in B.C.” Horgan said he has not read Liberal MLA Stephanie Cadieux’s private member’s bill on pay ​ ​ certification but was “confident” Mitzi Dean, parliamentary secretary for gender equity, has. ​ ​ BC Today attempted to follow up with Dean, but a spokesperson from the finance ministry ​ ​ ​ ​ would only say that “pay equity is an important issue that government is looking at, in addition to ​ the numerous actions that have already been taken to support women in the workforce.” Horgan hails passage of LNG bill; Greens cry folly Premier John Horgan released a statement following the passage of Bill 10, Income Tax ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Amendment Act. "Our government set four stringent conditions for LNG in B.C.: a fair return for our natural resources, jobs and training opportunities for British Columbians, partnerships with First Nations, and the project must fit within our CleanBC plan,” the statement said. "LNG Canada's liquefied natural gas project meets these conditions. The project will create jobs and opportunity for Kitimat, the Haisla Nation and people in the North, and is expected to generate $23 billion in government revenues to support public services for all British Columbians.” Green Party MLA Sonia Furstenau called the bill’s passage “tragic,” and leader Andrew ​ ​ ​ Weaver accused the MLAs who supported the bill of “throwing future generations under the ​ bus.” “We’ll sleep well tonight knowing that we stood on our principles,” Weaver told reporters. “We came out of committee stage of this debate with even greater challenges than we went into committee stage with,” MLA Adam Olsen added. He said the government failed to provide ​ ​ satisfactory answers on details of the bill and expressed bafflement that Liberal MLAs — many of whom asked hard questions and expressed disappointment at the lack of answers — supported third reading of the bill. “To British Columbians, my message is simple: nothing will ever change in this place if you continue to put in place people who do nothing but toe the party line, say one thing in a campaign and do exactly the opposite thereafter,” Weaver added. “It’s pretty clear to us that B.C. Liberals and B.C. NDP are two sides of exactly the same coin.” Today’s events April 5 at 7 a.m. – Vancouver ​ Members of the Tla'amin Nation will be joined by NPD MLA Nicholas Simons (Powell ​ ​ River—Sunshine Coast) to recognize the third anniversary of the Tla'amin Nation Treaty with a flag ceremony at the B.C.

    LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY of BRITISH COLUMBIA Honourable Adrian Dix Ministry of Health Room 337, Parliament Buildings Victoria, B.C. V1V 1X4 February 4, 2021 Dear Minister Dix, As we enter the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic, the virus continues to spread at a concerning rate and sadly, it is seniors in LTC facilities who continue to disproportionately lose their lives to this deadly disease. Meanwhile, LTC homes across B.C. have been operating their essential visitor policies differently in individual homes and Health Authorities due to an overall lack of policy standardization as highlighted in the Ernst & Young report that was completed in October of 2020 and only recently released by your government. The report found that “Specific policy directives could sometimes be confusing, inconsistent, or lacking in detail, which led to operational variation, specifically related to PPE, IPC practices, single-site order policy and essential visitor policy and guidelines.” Despite revision to visitor guidelines released on January 7, 2021, the current policy remains open to interpretation by each Health Authority which will likely continue the operational inconsistencies that have been of particular concern to the families of long- term residents. In real terms, these discrepancies have resulted in a situation where some seniors in care were able to be visited more regularly than others, creating frustration and anger about the inequity and confusion. We also know the pandemic is having a serious impact on our seniors — particularly when it

    B.C. Today – Daily Report December 12, 2018 Quotation of the day “As soon as you announce your political party, a minimum of 50 per cent of your audience hates you.” NDP MLA Bowinn Ma weighs in on political partisanship in the second installment of BC Today’s deep dive into whether PR systems can change the game for female politicians. Today in B.C. On the schedule The House is adjourned for the winter break. MLAs are scheduled to return to the House on February 12, 2019 for the delivery of the government’s throne speech. B.C. Liberals continue to press for answers from the Speaker ahead of today’s committee meeting Ahead of this morning’s meeting of the Finance and Audit Committee, Liberal Party House Leader Mary Polak released an open letter listing more than a dozen “issues [that] must be ​ ​ addressed urgently” at the meeting, as well as the Legislative Assembly Management Committee’s (LAMC) meeting on December 19. “The credibility of the Legislature and its budget setting must be resolved prior to the expenditure of more public money on services that you have alleged to be subject to criminal activity of a financial nature,” Polak wrote in the five-page letter, which is addressed to Speaker Darryl Plecas. ​ ​ Many of the items — which Polak argues should be settled at the outset of the committee meetings — relate to statements made by the Speaker during last week’s LAMC meeting. Polak ​ ​ wants details, including the scope and timeline of forensic audits into the offices of the Speaker, clerk and sergeant-at-arms that Plecas forcefully called for.

  • NNPBC/CNA 2020 Budget Consultation Letter
    November 6th, 2019 Hon. Carole James Minister of Finance Room 153, Parliament Buildings Victoria, BC V8V 1X4 [email protected] Dear Ms. James: We are writing to share our support for the Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services’ recent Report on the Budget 2020 Consultation. As organizations that represent health leaders in B.C. and across Canada, we are particularly pleased with recommendations 38 to 59, under the health-care section. As you may know, the Nurses and Nurse Practitioners of British Columbia (NNPBC) is the only nursing professional association in the province that represents all four nursing designations. It is the voice for professional practice, advocacy and leadership in nursing, and the jurisdictional representative to the Canadian Nurses Association. The Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) is the national and global professional voice of Canadian nursing, representing 135,000 nurses in all 13 jurisdictions across Canada. CNA advances the practice and profession of nursing to improve health outcomes and strengthen Canada’s publicly funded, not-for-profit health system. While NNPBC and CNA support the recommendations made in the health-care section, there are a few that we would like to highlight as top priorities that directly align with our current work. Community Care and Seniors As the population in B.C. and across Canada continues to age, more innovative health solutions and supports will need to be put in place. Today, more seniors are choosing to age and receive care at home, and as such the B.C. government’s funding models must start to shift as well by providing more emphasis on palliative and end-of-life care.

  • BC Today – Daily Report January 27, 2021 Today in B.C
    BC Today – Daily Report January 27, 2021 Quotation of the day “Just plain nonsense.” Liberal Public Safety critic Mike Morris is skeptical of the savings the NDP government says ​ ​ B.C. drivers will see under ICBC’s new no-fault model, launching in May. Today in B.C. Written by Shannon Waters On the schedule The house is adjourned until March 1. B.C.’s natural resource ministers will participate in a roundtable discussion at the virtual BC Natural Resources Forum this afternoon, sharing their thoughts on the “pivotal role” the industries will play “in restoring the province’s economic prosperity.” B.C. boasts ‘most robust’ provincial response to Covid: report British Columbia has committed more of its GDP to pandemic spending than any other province by far, according to a new report from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives. ​ ​ The left-leaning think tank pegs B.C.’s pandemic expenditures through 2020 at nearly three per cent of the province’s 2019 GDP — double Quebec’s commitment of 1.5 per cent of the province’s GDP and well ahead of second-place Manitoba, which earmarked two per cent of its 2019 GDP to pandemic support measures. Direct pandemic spending measures in B.C. totalled $10,300 per person, according to CCPA, and while just 16 per cent is coming from provincial coffers, the provincial government is still contributing more to that figure than any of its counterparts. By contrast, Alberta — which has received the most federal funding per capita of all the provinces — chipped in just seven per cent of its $11,200 in per person pandemic spending.
