3 days ago it was Mission maternity, now it’s Ridge Meadows maternity.
Keep those babies inside ladies on the north side of the river, Fraser Health has no Doctors for you!
This is what inequitable funding of Fraser Health looks like. 40% of the population, but only 22% of the funding.

A new report from the Business Council of BC shows British Columbia is now the worst-performing province in Canada when it comes to youth employment.

That's a distinction no province should want. 🧵1/

Congratulations to the our new leader @KerryLynneFindl!

Our caucus is ready to get to work and get this province back on track.

[Trevor Halford @TrevHal]

Record spending. Record failure.

This is what 9 years of NDP governance looks like.
British Columbians know it's time for a change.

The strength of this caucus has nothing to do with me. It's our MLAs, our staff, the people at the party, our members across BC.
They show up every single day.
That's what makes this team what it is.

[Trevor Halford @TrevHal]

We're in Premier Estimates at the BC Legislature today and tomorrow.

This is one of the only chances MLAs get to put the Premier directly on the record to demand answers about his government's spending and decisions.

Eby won't give them. Every question gets a dodge. That tells you everything.

Watch live on YouTube.

BC taxpayers are on the hook for FIFA, and the NDP knows exactly how much.

They just refuse to be transparent about it.

They're now promising to release the number by the end of the month, which happens to be when this legislative session closes.

This government doesn't do transparency.
It does damage control.

Thank you @Kristina4BC.

Mission Accomplished!

Today I amplified the voices of the families of Bailey McCourt and the friends of Laura Gover.

And we achieved a meeting with a minister and an openness to GPS monitoring!!

Its better than yesterday!

Fraser Health must act urgently to ensure former Chartwell Carrington House residents are not left in limbo.

After being displaced by fire, vulnerable seniors deserve appropriate long-term care placements, clear communication, and a health care system that delivers when they need it most.

The NDP wants to sell BC's natural gas to the world.
And ban it in your home.

The Minister of Housing sent a letter pressuring Vancouver City Council to ban natural gas.
The Minister of Energy knew about it.
But nobody thought that was a problem.

They're championing LNG exports on the world stage while stripping energy choice from BC homeowners.

The NDP promised they'd fix the DRIPA mess in the spring.
Then they promised the fall.
Now even that promise is falling apart.

Listen to the Attorney General's response.

I ask her one simple question: will legislation to fix DRIPA be ready in the fall like they promised?
She can't answer it.

Let me be clear, the NDP won't fix DRIPA because that would require committing to a position.

And after six flip-flops on DRIPA alone, we know that's something this government simply cannot do.

"If things get stalled here, we're going to be spending more time elsewhere in the country, because we need to move forward."

That's Prime Minister Carney, responding directly to Eby and the NDP's obstruction of the Alberta pipeline.

While Eby picks fights with neighbouring premiers, the rest of the country is ready to move on without us.

The NDP would rather grandstand than put BC jobs and Canada's economy first.

#bcpoli

[Trevor Halford @TrevHal]

The Premier wants to pick fights with Ottawa, pick fights with Alberta, call the pipeline an "Alberta project."

I've got a different question for him: why isn't BC at the table? A pipeline through this country is good for BC. It's good for Canada.

We should be building it, not blocking it.

#bcpoli

[Trevor Halford @TrevHal]

Even the Prime Minister has had enough.

Carney told Eby that if BC keeps stalling on energy development, Ottawa will take its investment to provinces that actually want to grow.

The NDP aren't just holding BC back.
They're holding the whole country back.

#bcpoli

[Trevor Halford @TrevHal]

LNG Canada. Site C. TMX.

The NDP opposed all of it.

We're going to keep supporting the resource sector because we want to see BC succeed.

#bcpoli

[Trevor Halford @TrevHal]

The NDP can't even answer whether they'll have a DRIPA fix ready by the fall.

The Attorney General's answer?

They're "working with their partners."

That's co-governance hiding in plain sight.

Six position changes deep and this government can't even decide when it will propose a solution, let alone find one.

#bcpoli

[Trevor Halford @TrevHal]

When the Premier gets desperate, he misleads.

Yesterday, he claimed in the House that the BC Conservatives don't support LNG Canada.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

Our MLA for Skeena, @ClaireRattee, called him out for it, got ejected for it, came back and apologized because she respects this Legislature.

But she stands by every word and we stand with her.

#bcpoli

[Trevor Halford @TrevHal]

While Eby lectures Ottawa about bad behaviour, BC workers are still waiting for the jobs a pipeline would bring.

Get to the table, support the project, and stop getting in the way of BC and Canada's economic future.

The Premier can't keep saying no and then wonder why they're leaving him at the kids table.

Claire has always been an absolute unapologetic warrior for her people.

She is a truth teller.

And I know she always will be.

Our nation needs more courageous leaders like her.

[Claire Rattée @ClaireRattee]

Today, I was asked to leave the chamber after calling out the Premier for remarks I believe were false and misleading regarding my record and the record of members of our caucus on LNG development in Northern B.C.

For years, the Premier has attempted to claim that we do not support projects like LNG Canada, while at the same time trying to take credit for a project he actively opposed while in opposition. The people of the North remember who stood alongside our workers, local governments, Indigenous partners, and communities to fight for these opportunities when it mattered most.

I am proud of my record. As a Kitimat city councillor, I worked hard alongside many others to help get Phase 1 of LNG Canada to final investment decision. That project has created jobs, opportunity, and long-term economic benefits for our region and for British Columbia. The credit belongs to the many people who put in the hard work over many years to make it happen.
I will not sit quietly while the history of that work is rewritten for political convenience.

When the people of Skeena elected me, I promised to be a loud, strong, and unapologetic voice for our communities. That means standing up for our workers, our industries, and the truth, even when it is uncomfortable.

I will continue to do exactly that every single day, unapologetically.
