Primary care access is extremely important but so is specialist access. The sickest patients are the ones referred to speciality care. Track 1 wait time is the time from referral from primary care to speciality care Track 2 wait time is the wait time from speciality care to treatment. So when I asked the Minister of Health during estimates if she was tracking wait times from referral from primary care to to speciality care (track 1 wait times) this was her answer: "As the member knows, wait 1 is physician to a specialist is something that is happening in one physician office to another physician office. Physicians, typically, independent contractors, aren't part of the public system in the same way that has enabled us to have a line of sight into that information. As the member knows, wait 1 is not regularly tracked for most specialities, but for surgical specialists, the province does track both wait 1 and wait 2." The sickest patients are waiting months and years to access speciality care in BC and how can this NDP government plan resourcing decisions without this data? There is no logical reason they can't collect this data. Either they don't want to know or they don't want the public to know.

Saturday's @Conservative_BC leadership debate on @globalnews BC produced something rare: near-unanimous consensus on resource development. Whatever happens in this race, the message on natural resources was clear. Watch: youtube.com/live/jEbKOhHEC… #BCPoli #NaturalResources

The final debate is today! Tune in live at 4:30 PM PST, only on Global BC. Watch here: ow.ly/iceq50YWUGE

The NDP made BC so unsafe that small businesses are hiring private security just to keep their doors open. Now they're taxing that security. I asked the minister how expanding the PST on essential security services helps anyone. He talked about red tape and skills training. He had no answer. Small business owners are already saying prices are going up. The NDP did that.

MLAs @elenoresturko and @amboultbee are endorsing Eby’s assault on democracy instead of standing up taxpayers. British Columbians want Bill 9 defeated. Not managed through committee with the help of independents. Shame.

Shame on @elenoresturko and @amboultbee for endorsing Eby’s assault on accountability.

@BindaCarson @elenoresturko @amboultbee Incredibly disappointing to see Sturko and Boultbee sell out a key tool in the fight to hold governments accountable. I sadly expect that kind of undemocratic behaviour from Eby, Sharma and the NDP. But those 2 "independents" should know better.

Like I said in the Chamber today, it's not Conservatives that cut 3B of Healthcare infrastructure projects in this year's budget, it was the NDP!

I hope NDP MLAs are proud tonight as they dismantle their own party’s FOI legacy. Here’s Mike Hartcourt in 1991: “We will bring in a freedom-of-information law, not an access-to-information law. I think that shows the difference between the New Democratic Party and the Social Credit government. They talk about access, and it’s almost a grudging word: we may give ‘access’ to citizens. We believe in freedom of information. It’s your information, the citizens’ information. It’s not our information.” Carole James in 2008: “We’ve seen freedom-of-information laws ignored and disdained by this Premier. We see new bureaucracies created with no oversight, little public accountability.” John Horgan in 2015: “I think all British Columbians should be concerned when their government hides things from them.” “The whole point of having access to information is so we can all make reasonable judgments about the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of our political leadership.” David Eby in 2026: ~shuts down debate to kill FOI at 3:41AM~

The Conservative Caucus of B.C. unequivocally opposes the NDP’s Bill 9, legislation that further restricts the public’s right to access information and weakens government transparency. This government continues to dodge accountability, shut down scrutiny, and concentrate more power in its own hands. That is why we introduced a hoist motion to suspend this bill for six months to allow for greater consultation. If the NDP wants to force this through the Legislature in the dark, we are prepared to debate it through the night and beyond. We will continue fighting for the people of British Columbia day in and day out.

The NDP’s Bill 9 makes it harder for British Columbians to access records from their own government. Less transparency. Less accountability. More power concentrated behind closed doors. That is why the BC Conservatives introduced a hoist motion to suspend this bill for six months and allow for greater consultation. If this government wants to force Bill 9 through in the dark, we are prepared to debate it for as long as it takes.

People want change. The numbers prove it. NDP support has dropped six points in a single month. Eby's approval is down 20 points in just a year. British Columbians are seeing this government for what it is: incompetent, directionless, and out of touch. #bcpoli

In Question Period today I asked why Premier Eby promised a full review of BC’s Mental Health Act after the Lapu Lapu tragedy, only for the NDP to now put that review on hold. They claim they must wait for a constitutional challenge filed in 2016, a case that was already before the courts when the Premier made his promise last year. This is classic NDP: big public commitments followed by excuses and delays. Families impacted by mental health crises deserve real action, not more broken promises and dodging. Enough with the words. British Columbians need a government that actually delivers on public safety and mental health reform.

What a great Q1 for the BC conservatives. We have out paced the NDP and Greens combined on donations and currently hold a 10 point lead over the NDP. If an election were to happen today that would be 66 seat majority government. Let’s keep this momentum going!

British Columbians were promised DRIPA would not create a veto, would not lead to co-governance, and would not weaken the authority of elected government. Now senior legal voices and First Nations leadership are openly acknowledging that power in this province has fundamentally shifted. People are asking a simple question, who’s really running British Columbia? Decisions affecting your home, your land, your community, and your future are increasingly being negotiated behind closed doors by people the public cannot vote out, question at the ballot box, or remove from power. David Eby created this uncertainty, and British Columbians are being forced to live with the consequences.

Excellent article by @LazenbyAlec in the @VancouverSun American Tribes leveraging DRIPA to gain influence in BC is a growing story. This is SERIOUS. vancouversun.com/news/us-tribes… #bcpoli

British Columbians are waking up. While the NDP keep pushing more taxes, more chaos, and more uncertainty, people across this province are stepping up to back Conservatives in record numbers. Over $1 MILLION raised in Q1. More than the BC NDP and Greens combined. That doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when grassroots people have had enough and want change! Let’s keep building momentum and show the NDP this movement is only getting stronger. DONATE: conservativebc.ca/donate

A new poll shows the BC Conservative Party pulling into a sizable lead over the NDP government, as public concern continues to rise over Indigenous reconciliation and private property rights. cheknews.ca/rob-shaw-bc-co…

Delta Hospital ER closures and a cancelled Delta Long Term Care facility. Crickets from Min Kahlon the MLA for Delta North. Your B.C. NDP.

They keep saying they are going to continue to work, but things just don’t seem to work out for them. The NDP can’t run a popsicle stand. @BCConservCaucus
