  • Cancer Centre Kamloops Ltr to Premier from MLA.Pdf.Pdf
    Peter Milobar, MLA Jackie Tegart, MLA Kamloops − North Thompson Fraser – Nicola Todd Stone, MLA Greg Kyllo, MLA Kamloops − South Thompson Shuswap Lorne Doerkson, MLA Cariboo-Chilcotin January 18, 2021 Premier Horgan Premiers Office PO BOX 9041 STN PROV GOVT Victoria, BC V8W 9E1 SENT VIA EMAIL: [email protected] Dear Mr. Premier, Re: Kamloops Cancer Care Centre During the recent provincial election, you made a commitment for a Cancer Care Centre to be built in Kamloops within the next four years. As local MLA’s for the Thompson Regional Hospital District (TRHD) Board several questions have arisen, and we are looking for clarification to be able to provide accurate answers to our constituents. What is the expected operational date for the Cancer Care Centre? Has the planning for the new Cancer Care Centre started? What is the scope of Cancer treatment services that will be provided in the new Centre, and will said scope be inclusive of at least two linear accelerators? Where will the new Cancer Care Centre be located? Is the money for the planning being provided by Interior Health Authority (IHA) or the Ministry of Health? Who will be the lead agency in this project, Ministry of Health, IHA or BC Cancer? Given previous Cancer Centre’s have been a collaboration between the Province and BC Cancer, is this the intended model for the Kamloops Cancer Care Centre? Given previous Cancer Centre’s were not funded by local Hospital Boards, will the TRHD be expected to commit capital dollars or will the new Cancer Care Centre be funded by the Province and BC Cancer? If the intention is to seek capital dollars from the TRHD, what is the contribution expected to be? Will Hospital Foundations be expected to fundraise for the new Cancer Care Centre? Kamloops − North Thompson Kamloops − South Thompson Fraser-Nicola Constituency Office Constituency Office Constituency Office 618B Tranquille Road 446 Victoria Street PO Box 279, 405 Railway Avenue Kamloops, B.C.

  • 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 20, 2019 Quotation of the day “There is one thing we all know for certain after watching the ​ spectacle this spring: many of the New Democratic Party’s political opponents don’t care about the facts, they’re just cheering for B.C. to fail.” ​ Despite much hand-wringing by critics this spring, housing starts in B.C. are on the rise and proof of the NDP government’s successful fiscal management, according to Will McMartin — a ​ ​ ​ ​ long-time B.C. political consultant previously affiliated with both the Conservative Party and the Social Credit Party. Today in B.C. The House is adjourned for the summer recess. Committees this week This is the last week of committee meetings before the summer break. The Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services will meet on Wednesday to continue its in camera deliberations on input received during Budget 2020 consultations. The Select Standing Committee on Parliamentary Reform, Ethical Conduct, Standing Orders and Private Bills will meet on Thursday for the first time since 2016. The committee is responsible for reviewing private bills and statutes as assigned by the Legislative Assembly, per the Statute Revision Act. ​ ​ On May 30, the assembly referred a revision of Chapter 492 of the Workers Compensation Act ​ ​ ​ to the committee for “review and recommendation” and asked for a report to be presented “as soon as possible” — most likely during the fall session. The committee’s current members are posted online. ​ The next committee meeting, per the parliamentary committees office, will be the Legislative Assembly Management Committee on September 19.
