    BC Today – Daily Report April 8, 2020 Quotation of the day “We need to double down now.” After several days of encouraging case numbers, Health Minister Adrian Dix urges British ​ ​ Columbians to redouble their efforts to flatten the COVID-19 curve. Today in B.C. On the schedule Provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry and Health Minister Adrian Dix will provide an ​ ​ ​ ​ update on B.C.’s COVID-19 cases at 3 p.m. The briefing will be livestreamed. ​ ​ Essential services, test kits and government aid: lobbying in the time of COVID-19 With the COVID-19 pandemic set to dominate the province’s attention for the foreseeable future, lobbyists and firms are seeking the government’s ear. The provincial lobbyist portal counts 35 new and recently amended registrations that include the key word “COVID-19.” Priorities include selling products and technology to aid the province’s efforts to battle the coronavirus, securing essential service designations, and keeping government officials up to speed on the impacts the pandemic is having on industries. Some company’s interests are more specific than others. Last week, Western Policy Consultants lobbyist Michael Bailey — who served as executive director to former premier Bill ​ ​ ​ Bennett — registered to lobby the health ministry on behalf of the Lynn Valley Care Centre. The ​ facility was the first long-term care centre to confirm COVID-19 cases and remains an active ​ ​ outbreak, accounting for a significant percentage of the province’s coronavirus fatalities. Bailey registered to brief health ministry officials “on the need for government assistance for ​ long-term care homes through the COVID-19 pandemic” and discuss the future of the facility’s contract and funding agreement with the province.

    From: Rol Fieldwalker [<email address removed>] Sent: March 9, 2016 8:27 PM To: Pacific Northwest LNG / GNL Pacific Northwest (CEAA/ACEE) Subject: *****SPAM***** Re: Pacific Northwest LNG on Lelu Island As any grade 3 student will tell you, by now we all know all the reasons we have to stop using fossil fuel. Communities that are facing the possibility of the end of their way of life are not looking to negotiate a better deal~ whether in the form of local jobs,higher royalties, or better safety standards. More and more communities are simply saying"NO". no to the pipeline, no to fracking, no to the export terminal,no to Arctic drilling, no to the coal trains, no to the oil trains.... neither here nor anywhere else. In other words... no new carbon frontiers. The Lax Kw'alaams First Nation already voted 100% against this project in May, despite an offer of $1.4 billion from Petronas. The Lelu Island Declaration was signed by First Nations leaders from across the Skeena watershed, as well as Grand Chief Stewart Philip of the Union of BC Indian Chiefs, MLAs Jennifer Rice, Doug Donaldson, and Robin Austin, and MP Nathan Cullen, to protect the proposed site – and its salmon – from LNG development. Lelu Island has been occupied by Lax Kw'alaams members since August 2015, who have been working to prevent further work on the rejected project. Madii Lii territory, which the fracked gas pipeline would pass through on the way to Lelu, has been closed to pipeline development by Luutkudziiwus people since Aug.
