Victory??? Does victory mean selling out workers in B.C? Is Victory to you selling out taxpayers in this province? Is Victory saving a monopoly designed to continue the gravy train flowing to American based unions.

@ironworkers97 you’ve lost the plot. Take a lap and pat yourselves on the back if you want, but British Columbia’s won’t forget this.

@mikefarnworthbc job killing? Just because words are said doesn’t make them true.

You know like we all know, the bill would have levelled the playing field, so all British Colombians could go to work on projects paid for with their tax dollars.

The bill you killed was a step towards fairness for all workers and taxpayers. Something you clearly don’t care about.

Creating a monopoly and limiting those that can work on public projects to just 15% of the construction workforce is nothing more than a kick back to your friends and insiders within the @WeBuildBC. Shameful

#fairandopenbc

[Ryan Bruce @ryanbruce7]

@Dave_Eby you have lost the confidence of the house and the people.

The time for kick backs to your friends and insiders the @WeBuildBC is coming to an end.

Your approach to governance and their approach to labour relations are stuck in the dark ages.

13.3 billion $ deficit and you do nothing to change course, you have zero respect for the working men and women of this province, an you have zero respect for taxpayers.

@WeBuildBC Did the kicking horse canyon project ever get completed?

If so, where is Jean working now?

Is he sitting at home waiting for the next time the kicking horse canyon needs an upgrade?

[Kiel Giddens @KielGiddens]

The BC NDP say they support workers, but then vote to exclude 85% of them from public capital projects.

They blame labour shortages and supply chain challenges while shrinking the labour and contractor pools.

Taxpayers are left with $17B in overruns and years of delays. At the same time, the NDP has brought in a $13.3B deficit and BC has faced multiple credit downgrades.

This isn’t leadership. It’s a public policy failure and we have to start talking about it in BC.

[Ryan Bruce @ryanbruce7]

Great to see so much support for @KielGiddens sensible bill that will help get BC’s public infrastructure projects back on track.

Well done @BoardofTrade

Thank you to @BoardofTrade for endorsing fair and open tendering for public projects. 👇

“Recognizing the critical importance of efficient, transparent, and cost-
effective project delivery, Bill M 233 promotes fairness by ensuring that
all qualified contractors and workers can participate in public projects.” - Bridgette Anderson, President & CEO, Greater Vancouver Board of Trade

[Ryan Bruce @ryanbruce7]

This is an example of what great leadership looks like. Real solutions that respects taxpayers, workers rights, and the employers ability to manage their business. Well done @KielGiddens #fairandopenbc #bcpoli

[Kiel Giddens @KielGiddens]

Last month, I introduced Bill M233, the Public Sector Construction Projects Procurement Act. It’s simple: fairness for workers and better value for taxpayers.

Public contracts should be awarded on merit, safety record, qualifications, experience, price, and ability to deliver results.

The Bill passed first reading in the BC Legislature and I look forward to more discussions ahead.👇

[Ryan Bruce @ryanbruce7]

Nothing good comes when governments pick winners and losers. Set the conditions, create a level playing field, let people decide for themselves and get out of the way. #fairandopenbc #bcpoli

[CFIB - British Columbia @cfibBC]

Small businesses deserve a level playing field when it comes to helping build projects in BC. 👷

Exclusive contract terms, such as BC's Community Benefit Agreements, shut out 96% percent of local, Canadian-owned small businesses. 🚧

Bill M233 deserves fulsome debate in the BC legislature. #bcpoli

[ICBA | Join Us! @icbabc]

BC capital projects are billions over budget and years behind schedule. @KielGiddens' new Private Member's Bill would open public construction to all qualified workers — not just the 15% in NDP-friendly building trades unions.

ICBA is all in.

@reah4burnaby @BCConservCaucus The only thing Kiel and the conservatives are attacking is the monopoly on public projects that the NDP have gifted the BTU who only represent 15% of the construction workforce. After tabling 13.3 billion deficit one might think the NDP would back off this costly model. Shameful

[Ryan Bruce @ryanbruce7]

Even before they’re in government MLA’s like @KielGiddens are already bringing forth legislation that respects the contributions of all workers while at the same time will reduce the costs and delays on public projects. That’s how you begin chipping away at $13.3 billion deficit

[Kiel Giddens @KielGiddens]

The NDP limits who can work on many public construction projects because they prefer a system that picks winners and losers.

That isn’t fair to British Columbians waiting for hospitals, schools, and roads, especially in a climate of labour shortages, cost overruns, and delayed projects.

Cost overruns on capital projects have grown to more than $17 billion and projects are a combined 158 years behind schedule under the NDP government.

That’s why I’ve introduced a bill, the Public Sector Construction Projects Procurement Act, to restore open, fair tendering on public infrastructure.

Contracts should be awarded based on merit, safety, qualifications, experience, price, and the ability to deliver results.

That’s common sense if we want to build projects faster and deliver better value for taxpayers.

[Ryan Bruce @ryanbruce7]

@KielGiddens @BCConservCaucus Thanks for raising this issue Kiel. The NDP operate under the assumption that most people don't understand the labour landscape & procurement models and therefore have no idea of the increased costs associated with restrictive tendering. As a result we all pay for it.

[Kiel Giddens @KielGiddens]

A federal NDP leadership candidate introduced a Bill in the House of Commons this week attempting to limit worker choice.

The BC NDP have done the same thing here with their undemocratic labour agreements that shut thousands of workers out of major projects.

These uncompetitive policies are bad for workers, and terrible for taxpayers.

The @BCConservCaucus approach is grounded in freedom of association, worker choice, and open competition. 💪

It’s time for @Dave_Eby to adopt the @voteBCUnited policy to scrap the NDP's failed decriminalization experiment.

Full stop. #BCpoli

British Columbians aren't feeling safe in their communities. It's time to put an end to David Eby and the NDP's catch-and-release justice system.

@voteBCUnited will fix it. #BCpoli

[BC United @voteBCUnited]

British Columbians are fed up of being the most taxed jurisdiction in Canada under David Eby’s NDP.

David Eby had the chance to stand with Kevin Falcon and seven Premiers against an April 1 carbon tax hike, but he refused.

We will stand with British Columbians.
