Daily Report June 24, 2020 Today in BC
BC Today – Daily Report June 24, 2020 Quotation of the day “This is a bureaucratic nightmare, in regards to paperwork, for stressed out small business owners who are on the brink of bankruptcy.” Liberal Jobs critic Jas Johal calls the NDP government’s suggestion that business owners apply for extensions to the 16-week temporary layoff period “absurd.” Today in B.C. On the schedule The house will convene at 1:30 p.m. for question period. The government will hold its weekly cabinet meeting in the morning. Tuesday’s debates and proceedings Government ministers introduced three new pieces of legislation yesterday. Bill 17, Clean Energy Amendment Act, introduced by Energy Minister Bruce Ralston, would allow BC Hydro to add new energy sources to its portfolio as it aims for the 100 per cent clean energy standard set out in the CleanBC plan. It will also give BC Hydro the option to sell or lease the 180-acre Burrard Thermal generating station site, most of which is “either underutilized or vacant” since the station’s decommissioning. Municipal Affairs and Housing Minister Selina Robinson tabled Bill 14, Municipal Affairs and Housing Statutes Amendment Act (No. 2). Robinson called the bill a “first step” to addressing the cost of strata insurance premiums (more on this below). Mental Health and Addictions Minister Judy Darcy put forward Bill 22, Mental Health Amendment Act, which, if passed, would allow youth to be involuntarily admitted for up to a week of “stabilization care” immediately following an overdose. (Chief coroner Lisa Lapointe released a statement saying the legislation will do little to address the shortage of treatment and support options for people who use drugs.) Two bills received second reading and were referred to committee: ● Bill 4, Budget Measures Implementation Act; and ● Bill 6, Mines Amendment Act. -

Today in B.C. On the schedule The house will convene at 1:30 p.m. for question period. The government will hold its weekly cabinet meeting in the morning. Tuesday’s debates and proceedings Assistant deputy Speaker Joan Isaacs put forward private member’s bill M230, High Dose Influenza Vaccine for Seniors Act, which would make high-dose flu vaccines free for seniors and ensure those living in long-term care homes have access. Isaacs introduced a similar bill in October 2018. Bill 42, Fuel Price Transparency Act, which, if passed, will allow the B.C. Utilities Commission to collect corporate information related to fuel pricing, received second reading and was referred to committee. Bill 41, the UNDRIP bill, passed committee stage in the late afternoon and it was immediately granted third reading with unanimous support, making B.C. the first province in Canada to pass legislation implementing the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. At the legislature Representatives from two Vancouver business associations — the Marpole Business Improvement Association and the Kitsilano West 4th Business Improvement Association — were at the legislature to draw attention to “skyrocketing property taxes and potential solutions to provide them with some relief.” Finance minister further reduces surplus but says B.C. -
