BC Today – Daily Report October 25, 2019 BC Today – Daily Report October 25, 2019 Quotation of the day “Reconciliation isn’t for wimps. You, sir, are no wimp.” Premier John Horgan acknowledged Grand Chief Stewart Phillips’ leadership and guidance on the ​ ​ ​ ​ path to reconciling the province’s laws with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Today in B.C. On the schedule The house is adjourned until 10 a.m. on Monday, October 28. Thursday’s votes and proceedings After a blessing by Shirley Alphonse of the T'Sou-ke Nation, a land acknowledgement by ​ ​ Songhees Nation elder Butch Dick and drumming by the Lekwungen Traditional Dancers, ​ ​ Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation Minister Scott Fraser introduced Bill 41, Declaration ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ of the Rights of Indigenous People's Act. ​ The landmark legislation formalizes the recognition of the rights of Indigenous peoples as human rights and aims to bring provincial laws into harmony with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) over time. If passed, the bill will require the province to develop an action plan to meet the objectives of the UN declaration and deliver annual reports on its progress. The introduction of Bill 41 makes B.C. the first province to take action to bring its laws into ​ ​ harmony with UNDRIP. Following first reading of the bill, Government House Leader Mike Farnworth moved a motion ​ ​ to suspend the usual proceedings of the house to allow Grand Chiefs Ed John and Stewart ​ ​ ​ Phillip, Assembly of First Nations Regional Chief Terry Teegee, and Cheryl Casimer, member ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ of the First Nations Summit Political Executive, to address the house. ​ Premier John Horgan and official Opposition Leader Andrew Wilkinson also spoke to the bill’s ​ ​ ​ ​ significance as did Green Party MLA Adam Olsen (Saanich North and the Islands). ​ ​ The house completed committee stage on Bill 36, Gaming Control Amendment Act, which will ​ ​ ​ provide for the B.C. First Nations Gaming Revenue Sharing Limited Partnership to receive a ​ ​ share of the province’s annual gaming revenue. The bill was immediately granted third reading. Liberal Health critic Norm Letnick ​ (Kelowna—Lake Country) was the only MLA to vote against the bill. He said the Okanagan ​ ​ Indian Band asked him to vote against it because they disagree with the structure the legislation uses to disburse the funds. MLAs then began second reading on Bill 33, Securities Amendment Act (No. 2), which, if ​ ​ passed, will give the B.C. Securities Commission the “strongest enforcement and collection tools in the country” to help crack down on white collar crime. In the house Newly elected Independent MP Jody Wilson-Raybould (Vancouver Granville) was in the ​ ​ legislature for the introduction of Bill 41. ​ ​ ‘We have taken a great step forward’: B.C. becomes first province to enshrine Indigenous rights into provincial law The B.C. legislature’s public galleries were packed and the floor of the chamber was full of special guests for the introduction of the long-awaited United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) legislation. In his introduction of Bill 41, Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation Minister Scott Fraser ​ ​ ​ emphasized the collaborative nature of the bill, which was co-developed with the First Nations Leadership Council. According to ministry staff, all B.C. First Nations chiefs had input on the legislation and consultations included 10 First Nations organizations, as well as various non-profits, local governments, and business and industry interests. Bill 41 is brief — less than four pages of legislative language followed by the text of UNDRIP. ​ Upon receiving royal assent, the act will require the province to develop an action plan to meet the declaration’s objectives in collaboration with First Nations. Unlike the federal government’s legislation on incorporating UNDRIP into law — Bill C-262 ​ mandates 20 years of progress reports on the issue — B.C.’s bill does not contain timelines for the development of the action plan or for the delivery of the province’s first progress report, which is scheduled to be filed at the end of each fiscal year (March 31). The bill provides for new decision-making agreements between the province and Indigenous governments and enables the province to recognize Indigenous governance structures beyond ​ federal Indian Act bands, treaty Nations and incorporated bodies and societies. These could ​ ​ include “multiple Nations working together as a collective, or hereditary governments, as ​ determined and recognized by the citizens of the Nation.” Grand Chief Ed John spoke about the significance of the bill given the role legislatures have ​ ​ played in colonization. “We have no voice in this house — today, as we have many times, we come here as your ​ guests,” he said. “In the past ... this house, while it provided hope for many newcomers to this land, it also created terrible injustices for our people, the original peoples, the many Indigenous nations on this incredible land.” Future legislation will be crafted with the principals of UNDRIP in mind, according to the Ministry of Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation, and existing legislation may be amended to ensure it does so. “This is not an event, it's not a moment,” Horgan said of the bill. “This is the start of the process to build the relationships that we all want to see. This is a welcoming for us settlers to the lands of the Indigenous peoples in British Columbia.” ‘Putting to rest the notion that there’s a veto involved’ UNDRIP requires the “free, prior and informed consent” of Indigenous peoples before ​ “legislative or administrative measures that may affect them” are implemented. Some have speculated enshrining the declaration in law would give First Nations veto powers — over resource development projects on traditional territories, for example. But yesterday Premier John Horgan said that is not the case. ​ ​ “The word veto is not contained in the legislation, nor is it contained in [UNDRIP],” he told ​ reporters. “What is contained ... is ensuring that all peoples get the same set of rights going forward and free, prior and informed consent is just that.” Assembly of First Nations Regional Chief Terry Teegee put a fine point on the issue during his ​ ​ speech in the house. “Some people will oppose this law because of their fears of what an era of mutual consent means,” he said. “There is fear in the idea of sharing power and jurisdiction.” But B.C.’s proposed law “is not about providing any government with veto rights,” Teegee contended. “Let's be clear — consent is about agreement,” he said. “Consent is a process to achieving and maintaining agreement. Consent is about sharing and respecting our laws as equals and as partners. Consent is the future, and most simply put, it's about coming together as governments, as people seeking to find common ground.” The province went so far as to issue a second news release — separate from the release on the ​ ​ legislation itself — promising that Bill 41 will “create further certainty for investment” in the ​ ​ ​ province, reaffirming “B.C. as a world-class destination” for businesses and “creating a strong inclusive economy.” Teegee concurred. “The greatest uncertainty for project development that hinders the B.C. ​ economy is not knowing if approval has consent of the affected First Nations,” he said. “Laws that are co-developed where consent is the aim of all First Nations–Crown engagement ... will deliver economic and legal certainty and predictability in this province.” Cheryl Casimer, a member of the First Nations Summit Political Executive, poked fun at those ​ ​ dubious about the bill’s effect. “The province is formally recognizing that Indigenous peoples were here first and renouncing ​ the doctrines of discovery and terra nullius,” she said. “Do you hear it? The sky did not fall.” ​ ​ Stakeholder reaction BC Mining Association president and CEO Michael Goehring is hopeful the legislation will “lead ​ ​ to greater certainty and predictability” for resource industries in the province. He noted that mining operators have “numerous agreements and partnerships” with Indigenous groups in the province, and that “many of those reflects the principles of UNDRIP.” “The mining industry has been at the forefront ... with economic reconciliation,” he told reporters. “They're out there on the land base, they're working with their Indigenous partners and it's all about working towards compromise and collaboration and consents to get things done.” Goehring also said that the legislation’s implementation will be “critical.” ​ ​ The BC Teachers’ Federation called the tabling of the bill “wonderful to see.” “The BCTF has policy dedicating ourselves to working with others to ensure UNDRIP is ​ ​ ​ ​ implemented,” the federation tweeted. B.C.’s school curriculum has also been updated to ​ ​ ensure students gain an “accurate and respectful” understanding of Indigenous culture and history. Attorney general ‘disappointed’ as Supreme Court throws out province’s plan to cap expert witnesses in ICBC cases B.C.’s Supreme Court sided with the Trial Lawyers Association yesterday, ruling the B.C. ​ ​ government’s plan to limit the number of expert witnesses that can testify in ICBC court cases is unconstitutional. Justice Christopher Hinkson concluded The government’s attempt to cap the number of expert ​ ​ witnesses at three per case interferes with the court’s power to control its processes and its “ability to hear and determine the cases that come before it.” Reducing the number of paid experts testifying in insurance cases was projected to save ICBC more than $400 million. Throwing out the policy could have significant ramifications for the provincial auto-insurer, which is expected to post a $50-million loss this fiscal year — a drastic improvement after two consecutive years with more than $1 billion in losses. “It is difficult when we bring a big reform measure like this forward to lose in this way, and I won’t pretend it’s not, but that doesn’t mean we’re going to give up,” Attorney General David Eby said ​ ​ of the decision.

Continuing in the fine (recent) tradition of physicians editing a newsletter that historically has mostly been about current affairs and politics, I am delighted to take the rein from Luke Pike (Newfoundland & St. John’s 2007) with this, my first issue of the CARS newsletter as editor. We have an all-new CARS Executive as well, and have spent the last half year getting to know each other and locating the bylaws in various basements and shoeboxes around the country (see our President’s letter for more details). My sincere thanks to Mark Schaan (Prairies and New 2002) for his leadership as President over these past few years and to Katie Sheehan (Prairies and Merton 2002) for her guidance in putting together this newsletter. You will note that Steve Aylward describes this process as ‘cat-herding’; as a proud born-and-raised Albertan I would prefer ‘cattle-herding’ or something to that effect, but the metaphor is ultimately the same.

  • 2018 12 10 FINAL RHTF Rep
    1 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Housing is the foundation of healthy families and strong communities. Having a safe place to call home is a basic and critical need for every person and every family. Unfortunately, many people in British Columbia are struggling to find a safe and secure home they can afford. Longstanding issues with the laws and regulations that govern rental housing in B.C. have made the search for, and the provision of, secure, quality, affordable housing even more difficult. Weak protections, inconsistent enforcement, and other loopholes are leaving people vulnerable to abuse and exploitation. The residential tenancy laws, policies and services are not meeting the needs of renters and rental housing providers in British Columbia today as the Residential Tenancy Act has not undergone a comprehensive review in 16 years. The existing residential tenancy system can be difficult to navigate, is outdated and fails to serve those who need it. For instance, the fact that the Act does not allow landlords and tenants to serve each other documents over email is a small example of antiquated regulations that make solving disputes more time consuming, expensive and difficult. For these reasons, Premier John Horgan appointed a Rental Housing Task Force in April 2018, to advise on how to improve security and fairness for renters and landlords throughout the province. The Task Force is composed of three members. It is led by the Premier’s Advisor on Residential Tenancy, MLA Spencer Chandra Herbert. MLA Adam Olsen, and MLA Ronna-Rae Leonard complete the team. During the spring and summer of 2018, the Rental Housing Task Force conducted a provincewide engagement with landlords, renters and others concerned citizens.

  • State of Emergency Extended to Continue B.C.'S COVID-19 Response
    3/5/2021 State of emergency extended to continue B.C.’s COVID-19 response | BC Gov News British Columbia News State of emergency extended to continue B.C.’s COVID-19 response https://news.gov.bc.ca/23900 VIEWTuesday TRANSLA, MarchTIONS 2, 2021 4:00 PM The Province of British Columbia has formally extended the provincial state of emergency, allowing Victoria - health and emergency management officials to continue to use extraordinary powers under the Emergency Program Act (EPA) to support the Province's COVID-19 pandemic response. The state of emergency is extended through the end of the day on March 16, 2021, to allow staff to take the necessary actions to keep British Columbians safe and manage immediate concerns and COVID-19 outbreaks. “Vaccines have already saved the lives of some of our most vulnerable, and yesterday we announced the next phase,” said Premier John Horgan. “Every single day we’re making progress, thanks to the hard work of public health experts, front-line health-care workers, essential workers and British Columbians who are committed to doing their part to keep us all safe. We’re going to get through this together.” The extension of the provincial state of emergency is based on recommendations from B.C.‘s health and emergency management officials. The original declaration was made on March 18, 2020, the day after Dr. Bonnie Henry, provincial health officer (PHO), declared a public health emergency. “We need to keep following public health orders so we can all get through this next period safely until more vaccines are ready,” said Mike Farnworth, Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General.

    Canadian eview V olume 42, No. 4 Right to BaRe Arms Dress Guidelines in British Columbia’s Legislative Assembly p. 6 2 CANADIAN PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW/SUMMER 2019 There are many examples of family members sitting in parliaments at the same time. However, the first father-daughter team to sit together in a legislative assembly did not happen in Canada until 1996. That is when Sue Edelman was elected to the 29th Yukon Legislative Assembly, joining her re-elected father, Ivan John “Jack” Cable. Mr. Cable moved to the North in 1970 after obtaining degrees in Chemical Engineering, a Master’s in Business Administration and a Bachelor of Laws in Ontario. He practiced law in Whitehorse for 21 years, and went on to serve as President of the Yukon Chamber of Commerce, President of the Yukon Energy Corporation and Director of the Northern Canada Power Commission. He is also a founding member of the Recycle Organics Together Society and the Boreal Alternate Energy Centre. Mr. Cable’s entry into electoral politics came in 1992, when he successfully won the riding of Riverdale in East Whitehorse to take his seat in the Yukon Legislative Assembly. Ms. Edelman’s political presence had already been established by the time her father began his term as an MLA. In 1988, she became a Whitehorse city councillor, a position she held until 1994. In her 1991 reelection, she received more votes for her council seat than mayor Bill Weigand received. Following her time on city council, she was elected to the Selkirk Elementary School council. In the 1996 territorial election, she ran and won in the Riverdale South riding.

  • LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY of BRITISH COLUMBIA
    LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY of BRITISH COLUMBIA John organ Premier of British Columbia Parliament Buildings V8V 1 X4 Dear Premier Morgan, We are writing you concerning today's introduction of the Electoral Referendum Act, 2018, a piece of legislation that will enable a province wide referendum that will ask British Columbians whether BC should adopt a voting system based on a form of proportional representation. As part of this announcement, it was outlined that the Attorney General will be acting as an independent official and that his office will be responsible for drafting the referendum process and question. It was further outlined that in order to ensure independence, the Attorney General will be recusing himself from Cabinet and/or caucus discussions regarding the referendum. We want to express our support for these measures that will ensure a fair, transparent, and legitimate referendum process and question can be developed. This question of independence also touches on the agreement outlined in the Confidence and Supply Agreement signed between our two caucuses, which creates a relationship that includes consultation on key policy measures. To further ensure that the Attorney General s office can operate with independence, we want to confirm in writing that the BC Green Caucus will not seek to consult with the Attorney General s office when it comes to evaluating submissions that are made to the ministry during the engagement phase, or on the subsequent decisions regarding the development of a referendum process and referendum question. We look forward to working with you and your caucus on directly engaging with British Columbians about the importance of changing to a system of proportional representation, and strongly campaigning in support of this once the process has been developed by the Attorney General.

  • 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.
