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. -
1 the Honourable John Horgan the Honourable George Heyman
The Honourable John Horgan The Honourable George Heyman Premier of British Columbia Minister, Environment & Climate Change Government of British Columbia Government of British Columbia April 15, 2020 Government planning of economic stimulus and recovery measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic Dear Premier Horgan and Minister Heyman, We, members of the Climate Solutions Council, would like to recognize the hard work of the B.C. Government during the COVID-19 global crisis and thank you for your efforts to protect the health and safety of British Columbians. The COVID-19 pandemic is having a significant impact on our province’s communities and economy, and we recognize the need to alleviate the short-term economic impacts from this crisis by supporting communities, businesses, and individuals who are, and will be, most affected. Once immediate relief is in place, the government will put forward an economic stimulus package designed for job creation and rebuilding the economy. We believe this is a critical opportunity to follow recent advice from the International Energy Agency, the UN and influential publications like The Economist, which have all advocated using stimulus to help rebuild a resilient, low-carbon economy. Economic growth and our strong climate policies go hand in hand and B.C.’s long history of climate action has built an enviable foundation for the province’s low-carbon industries and strong clean energy sector that will serve it well in recovering from the impacts of the pandemic. Therefore, we urge the Province to apply a climate and equity lens to all stimulus programs implemented to ensure that we promote the growth of a cleaner and more just economy, building on the objectives, values, and actions in CleanBC. -
