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.

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.

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.
Did you know we have cooper and gold here on Vancouver Island? I sure didn’t, but we absolutely do!
A mine on the north Island was selected by the Critical Minerals Office
Faster economic development while supporting reconciliation and protecting communities, partners and the planet.

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.
As the world faces ongoing economic uncertainty, #Budget2026 makes careful choices to protect what matters most to British Columbians. We’re safeguarding the services people rely on, while strengthening and growing BC’s economy.

1/3 The RCMP provided an update this morning on the horrific act of violence in Tumbler Ridge yesterday. I want to reiterate our gratitude to first responders and investigators who acted swiftly and professionally.
Extremely concerning situation unfolding in Tumbler Ridge. Residents of Tumbler Ridge are being asked to stay indoors as police respond to a report of an active shooter.
Today, Sikh communities will be celebrating Gurpurab – the 556th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the founder of the Sikh faith.
His message of equality and selfless service of others continue to inspire people of all faiths and backgrounds.
Happy Gurpurab!

Protecting our coast is not a barrier to economic prosperity – it is the source of it.
That’s why we’ve partnered with Coastal First Nations to sign the North Coast Protection Declaration and call on the federal government stand firm in its commitment to uphold the tanker ban.
Thank you Amelia and Misty for sharing your story of what the real life impacts are for victims and their families when intimate images are shared without consent. Regardless what side of the aisle we sit on, this is a non-partisan issue, and victims should always be put first.
We have confirmed that BC auto rates will not rise, through to spring 2027. Marking 7 years without an increase, since we lowered rates in 2021.
Because affordable coverage is essential for drivers who rely on their vehicles everyday.
