We've been laser-focused on increasing access to family medicine - and it's having an impact. We've attached 600,000 British Columbians to a family doctor or nurse practitioner since 2023. (1/6)

Yesterday Hon Chan claimed he didn’t know about this investigation when he became a candidate. Ok - so a simple question: when WAS he contacted by police? why didn’t he disclose then? His refusal to be forthcoming on a charge for family violence is a major violation of trust.

Donald Trump's loss is BC's gain. 🧑‍⚕️ We've hired over 400 US healthcare workers in the last year through our targeted recruitment campaign. That's 89 doctors, 260 nurses, 45 nurse practitioners and 23 allied health professionals. (1/6)

This morning I wrote to 17 Pride groups to say we’ll proceed with their request for a motion to support the Human Rights Code. Every MLA who supports the Code should vote to defend it. We need to stand up for human rights, not give ground to those who would take them away.

The BC Human Rights Code exists to protect people from discrimination and exclusion. I’m appalled that the BC Conservatives support repealing protections for people based on race, gender and ability. In British Columbia, human rights should never be up for debate.
