Daily Report August 19, 2020 Today in BC BC Today – Daily Report August 19, 2020 Quotation of the day “They got beat up very badly by us.” Liberal Leader Andrew Wilkinson says the NDP “had really no answers for substantive ​ ​ questions” posed by the Liberals during the summer session. Today in B.C. On the schedule The house is adjourned for the summer. NDP has put B.C. behind economic recovery: Wilkinson The NDP are lacking leadership and running scared from tough questions. That’s according to BC Liberal Party Leader Andrew Wilkinson, who told BC Today in an ​ ​ ​ ​ interview that he’s expecting the governing party to dodge parliamentary accountability this fall. “I would be surprised if they've got the stomach to come back for a fall session where they'll be obliged to tell the public the truth once again,” Wilkinson said. As the pandemic wears on, the Liberals remain particularly concerned with the government’s lack of an economic recovery plan. Wilkinson pointed out that several other provinces — including Ontario, Alberta and Quebec — presented recovery plans months ago. B.C.’s is not set to be released until next month, a move that has left many British Columbians simmering in uncertainty, according to Wilkinson. “People are looking for leadership and guidance from the provincial government, and they're just simply not getting it,” Wilkinson said, citing feedback the Liberals received during a series of town halls covering a variety of topics, including economic recovery and education. “This economic plan should have been out two months ago.” Deferred business taxes should not come due before Christmas, Wilkinson says For Wilkinson, the most obvious of the “huge challenges” facing B.C.’s economy is how to support the province’s tourism and hospitality sector through the next few months. “One hundred and thirty thousand people are out of work this summer, and the prospect of [those businesses] surviving into next year is not good,” he said. “We need to see an appropriate level of support for key parts of our economy to make sure that people have a job to go back to after Christmas.” But before the holiday season rolls around, B.C. businesses that have deferred tax payments under the NDP government’s COVID-19 action plan may have to pay the piper. “We're looking at a $6.5 billion dollar tax bill that has to be paid on September 30 by small businesses, and for many of them that's going to put them into bankruptcy,” Wilkinson warned. The Liberal caucus has argued companies should be allowed until at least the end of the year to repay their taxes. Finance Minister Carole James has promised to review the September 30 ​ ​ deadline “well before” it arrives. In May, Wilkinson sent a letter to Premier John Horgan detailing several other proposals aimed ​ ​ at aiding economic recovery, including an up to 90 day pause on provincial sales tax, hotel tax and employer health taxes and a freeze on any new regulations that could increase costs for businesses. The Liberals also called on the province to provide funding to help small businesses cover the costs of protective equipment required to operate during the pandemic. Hybrid learning should be an option for back to school Wilkinson also sees room for improvement in the NDP’s back-to-school plan, and would like to see more support for parents who want to shift their kids to independent distributed learning (IDL). “One thing that has been clear since March is the need for internet distance learning in schools,” he told BC Today. “That’s what parents are looking for, and it’s simply not available.” ​ ​ Just before the pandemic hit, the NDP announced a $12-million funding cut for IDL schools — where students learn mostly from home but follow a prescribed curriculum — framing it as an adjustment to bring per student funding in line with brick-and-mortar schools. In a letter addressed to Education Minister Rob Fleming yesterday, Wilkinson joined Liberal ​ ​ Education critic Dan Davies in calling for the funding to be immediately restored. ​ ​ They said the province should also “establish a viable” hybrid back-to-school framework that allows for both in-classroom and distance learning options. “The conflicting information, lack of flexibility, and overall poor administration of the government’s plan is creating unnecessary anxiety for families,” Wilkinson said in a statement. Currently, parents who opt to homeschool or enroll their children in an IDL program will have to forfeit their spot in a local school. Today’s events August 19 at 10 a.m. — Online ​ Health Minister Adrian Dix will make an announcement about cancer care in the Interior. ​ ​ August 19 at 7 p.m. — Online ​ The BC Green Party’s South Island riding association will host a virtual roundtable featuring ​ ​ leadership candidates Sonia Furstenau, Kim Darwin and Cam Brewer. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Topics of conversation ● B.C. reported 83 new cases of COVID-19 yesterday. There were 775 active cases (up 32) with six people in hospital (up two), three of them critical. No new deaths were reported, leaving the provincial total at 198. ● B.C.’s state of emergency was renewed for the 11th time yesterday and extended through September 1. Yesterday marked five months since the state of emergency was declared in response to the coronavirus pandemic. ● There were 93 active wildfires in B.C. as of yesterday afternoon, according to the BC ​ ​ Wildfire Service, and 70 of them started within the previous two days. Many of the fires were the result of a lightning storm that blew across the south coast and central Interior on Sunday. ● The Pacific Salmon Commission has revised its projections for this year’s Fraser River sockeye salmon run and is now expecting just 243,000 sockeye will return to spawn this year. The salmon run averaged 9.6 million fish from 1980 through 2014. ○ This year’s projection is the lowest ever for the Fraser River sockeye run, and Stó:lō Tribal Council vice-president Tyrone McNeil still suspects the ​ ​ commission’s projection is on the high side. The First Nations Leadership Council has called for the fishery to be closed. ​ ​ ○ The Narwhal explored the factors that have contributed to the Fraser River ​ ​ ​ sockeye’s decline. ● Joseph Gosnell, hereditary Nisga’a Nation chief and well-known politician, died of ​ ​ ​ cancer yesterday. Gosnell was the president of the Nisga’a Nation when the Nisga’a Final Agreement — the first modern treaty in B.C. — was finalized by the nation and the provincial and federal governments in 1998. ● The Globe and Mail’s editorial board says “Site C has become a cash bonfire” and “hard ​ ​ decisions” will have to be made about the future of the mega-dam. ○ While the previous Liberal government may have been “reckless” in approving the project and the NDP government may have “made the wrong call” in 2017 when it decided to proceed with the project, the Globe editorial argues “the only ​ ​ ​ ​ thing to do now is take a clear-eyed look at the present” and consider all the options going forward. ● Green Party MLA and leadership hopeful Sonia Furstenau has locked down several ​ ​ endorsements from local government officials in the past week. Victoria city Councillor Sarah Potts pledged her support, following in the footsteps of Victoria Mayor Lisa ​ ​ Helps, who offered her first-ever political endorsement to Furstenau back in January. ​ Nelson city Councillor Rik Logtenberg and Burnaby city Councillor Joe Keithley also ​ ​ ​ ​ endorsed Furstenau this week. ○ Furstenau also counts former federal Green Party leader Elizabeth May and ​ ​ environmentalist David Suzuki among her backers. ​ ​ .

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.

    B.C. Today – Daily Report June 17, 2019 Quotation of the day “We need John Horgan and his government to step up and take action — any action — to help our small, forest-dependent towns get through this challenging time.” Liberal MLA Dan Davies (Peace River North) says the NDP government has not done enough ​ ​ to support forestry-dependent communities, as mills around the province continue to close and curtail production. Today in B.C. The House is adjourned for the summer recess. Committees this week The Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services is conducting public ​ consultations on Budget 2020 this week, starting with a session in Prince Rupert at the Highliner ​ Plaza Hotel and Conference Centre at 2 p.m. today.

Liberals are calling on the NDP government to slash stumpage rates and reduce the carbon tax for the province’s forestry sector. “To date, the John Horgan government has thrown up its hands and told forest-dependent ​ ​ communities there is nothing it can do to help them,” Liberal Leader Andrew Wilkinson said in ​ ​ a statement, released in tandem with a letter addressed to the premier last week. “This is failed leadership on the part of John Horgan — plain and simple.

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.

    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.

    B.C. Today – Daily Report April 9, 2019 Quotation of the day “What is happening is nothing.” ​ Attorney General David Eby says he rushed the release of a chapter of the new Dirty Money ​ ​ report to alert British Columbians to the fact there are no federally funded RCMP officers on the B.C. money laundering file. Today in B.C. On the schedule The House will convene at 10 a.m. for question period Monday’s debates and proceedings No new legislation was introduced on Monday. MLAs in the chamber spent the afternoon reviewing the estimates for the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, completing them by end of day.

Attorney General David Eby called an urgent press conference on Monday morning and ​ ​ released a single chapter of anti-money laundering czar Peter German’s 300-plus page report ​ ​ ​ ​ on money laundering in B.C.’s real estate, luxury vehicle and horse racing sectors. “Despite two years of headlines about this issue, there are apparently no federally funded, dedicated police officers working on money laundering in B.C.,” Eby told reporters of German’s findings. “It is a startling piece of information.” The bombshell According to the report, the only dedicated money laundering resources within the RCMP in B.C.

Email: [email protected] V5T 4L2 June 3, 2021 Mr. Bruce Banman M.L.A and Mr. Mike de Jong M.L.A I write to you today in response to the Premier of British Columbia’s recent announcement that the BC Government will be providing new relief funding to the Legions of BC. As Vice President of BC Command for the Army, Navy & Air Force Veterans in Canada (ANAVETS) I am disheartened that we were not included in this funding. As an Association that has been around since Queen Victoria gave a charter in 1840, making us Canada’s oldest Veteran’s Association we find it inequitable that we have been left out of receiving vital funds to help keep our Units open. ANAVETS in British Columbia have 16 Units across the Province with almost 2500 Members and 64 Units across Canada. Since the start of the pandemic, our Units have been closed for over 6 months. Our Units are not only a place for Veterans, seniors and others to come for a drink and dinner, but for most of our members it is a place where they can meet their friends, and have a social outing. For many, our Units are the only place where they can be with other people. While our Units have been able to apply for and receive funding from the Federal Government, support from our Provincial Government would certainly help.
