From YouTube: JULY 14 2020 Question Period
Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
5th Session
41st Parliament
B
For
Richmond
Queens
girl.
Thank
you.
Mr.
speaker.
Last
week
the
Minister
of
Education
finally
promised
to
unveil
a
schooling
plan
on
July
29th.
So
imagine
my
surprise.
When,
as
a
parents,
I
received
a
request
for
the
ministry
to
complete
a
survey
on
what
school
might
look
like
in
the
fall
and
the
deadline
for
filling
out
the
ministry's
consultation
July
31st,
so
this
doesn't
add
up
mr.
speaker.
Can
the
Minister
of
Education
tell
parents
why
their
input
won't
be
included
in
the
government's
plan.
D
Thank
you
very
much
mr.
speaker,
and
thank
you
to
the
member
for
the
question,
the
effort
that
government
is
undertaking
right
now
to
restart
education
and
September's,
based
on
the
successful
plan
that
we
had
in
June,
we
were
the
only
jurisdiction
to
reopen
all
of
our
schools
in
North,
America
I
think
that's
a
testament
to
the
70,000
people
who
work
in
the
education
system.
We
had
a
health
and
safety
protocol
that
is
now
being
emulated
by
jurisdictions
around
this
continent
and
indeed
internationally
and
all
of
that
effort,
and
it
was
a
tremendous
tremendous
effort.
D
Six
to
eight
weeks,
planning
paid
huge
dividends
to
the
future
direction
that
we're
heading
to.
But
we
want
to
know
what
parents
think
of
that
experience.
Obviously
there
was
a
great
level
of
fear
and
uncertainty
that
is
part
of
this
pandemic.
Some
teacher
some
parents
opted
not
to
return
their
children
to
school.
D
We
made
that
voluntary,
but
200,000
children
did
return
to
the
school
system
and
we
want
to
know
the
experiences
of
families
that
both
utilized
in
class
instruction
that
was
returned
in
June
and,
of
course,
families
that
continue
to
avail
themselves
of
remote
online
learning
activities.
This
is
about
getting
better.
This
is
about
noting
the
experiences
of
families
in
British
Columbia
to
inform
our
plan.
The
steering
committee
I
referenced
earlier
is
composed
of
every
stakeholder
in
the
k-12
sector.
B
Member
Richmond
Queensboro
Thank
You
mr.
speaker,
the
reality
as
parents
are
worried
about
what
the
fall
looks
like
I
know.
As
a
parent
I'm
worried,
tens
of
thousands
of
British
Columbians
are
worried
because
if
they
can't
work,
I
think
kids
don't
have
school
open.
They
can't
work
it's
about
economic
recovery
as
well,
and
the
uncertainty
and
worries
that
parents
have
what
child
care
about
transportation,
while
going
back
to
work
are
very
real.
Thousands
of
thousands
of
parents
are
being
impacted.
The
Minister
Mr
Speaker
is
adding
to
that
uncertainty.
B
Originally,
the
minister
said
there
will
be
no
plan
until
August
20th
under
pressure
last
week
from
the
opposition.
He
set
a
date
of
July
29th,
but
now
his
own
survey
says
input
will
be
accepted
until
the
end
of
July.
Will
the
Minister
confirm
for
the
parents
of
British
Columbia
a
clear
plan?
One
that
sets
out
what's
going
to
happen
in
September
will
be
released
on
July
29th.
D
Thank
you
and
again
to
the
member
for
the
question
and
I
know
that
he
probably
reads
the
Daily
News
the
date
around
July
29th
is
now
public.
We've
confirmed
that
we
have
the
steering
committee
in
every
part
of
the
school
system
working
towards
giving
parents
as
much
certainty
as
we
can
give,
and
we
have
to
be
frank
here.
We
will
announce
what
the
plan
looks
like
what
the
updated
health
and
safety
protocols
look
like
and
give
a
substantive
release
of
the
plan
details
by
the
end
of
July.
D
But
we're
always
gonna
have
to
check
that
against
how
well
British
Columbia
is,
is
performing
in
this
pandemic
and
and
and
so
it
will
be
updated
throughout
the
summer
in
in
terms
of
the
parent
engagement
that
we're
conducting
I'm
very
very
pleased.
There's
a
very
first
week
that
the
survey
was
made
available
to
parents
around
British
Columbia,
but
10,000
surveys
completed.
So
it
is
increasing
by
the
day,
but.
E
You
mr.
speaker
well
I've
heard
from
a
lot
of
parents
and
a
lot
of
grandparents
who
just
wants
straight
answers,
so
they
can
figure
out
what
they're
going
to
do
in
the
fall.
The
minister
says
and
I
quote:
the
goal
is
to
have
school
instruction
resume
five
days
a
week
and
quote,
but
the
head
of
the
BC,
Teachers,
Federation,
Terry,
mooring,
says
hold
on
a
minute
quote
right
now
it
is
unlikely
that
we
will
be
back
to
full-time
instruction
in
schools
and
quote
parents
just
want
an
honest
answer
to
the
Minister
of
Education.
D
Thank
you
very
much,
mr.
speaker,
and
to
the
member
who
poses
the
question
we're
trying
to
bring
certainty.
That's
what
the
planning
exercise
is
about.
That's
why
the
BC
Teachers
Federation
is
is
a
component
of
the
steering
committee.
We
very
clearly
stated
that
that
is
our
goal.
That's
the
goal
of
many
Canadian
provinces
and
territories
for
September,
British
Columbians
our
provinces,
chance
of
having
all
kids
return
to
school
in
the
fall
is
enhanced
by
how
we
all
perform
as
a
province.
D
How
we
all
take
our
responsibilities
to
be
safe
and
and
and
engage
in
activities
that
are
safe
and
under
the
advice
of
dr.
Bonnie,
Henry
and
others
for
the
duration
of
this
summer.
That's
what
the
plan
depends
on,
so
we
will
share
the
elements
of
the
plan.
When
the
steering
committee
has
completed
its
work,
I've
told
the
members
that
that
will
be
made
publicly
available
by
the
end
of
July.
D
E
E
D
Well,
if
the
members
been
listening
to
the
conversation
has
been
participating
in
the
discussion
that
is
going
on
within
the
school
system,
we
have
a
very
diverse
school
system:
60
school
districts,
independent
schools,
around
British
Columbia,
we're
building
our
plan
based
on
a
success
that
only
only
British
Columbia
enjoyed
in
June,
and
we
will
continue
to
to
work
on
that
percentage
on
September.
We
want
to
give
as
much
certain
as
we
can.
That
requires
a
very
careful
planning.
Safety
is
our
number
one
priority
for
students
and
staff
and
Families.
D
We
know
that
education
is
critically
important
to
the
overall
provincial
effort
in
terms
of
restarting
our
economy,
we're
mindful
of
that
and
look
we're
on
track
as
a
as
an
outlier
jurisdiction
who
has
managed
to
pandemic
well
as
safely
reopen
schools
and
isn't
a
isn't
an
excellent
position
to
do
so.
Come
September
in
there
look.
A
lot
of
parents
are
very
happy
with
what
has
happened
in
British
Columbia.
D
C
F
You,
mr.
speaker,
the
Cova
19
crisis
exposed
existential
threats
to
our
society
and,
of
course,
our
economy,
but,
as
we
plan
our
recovery
from
koban
19,
we
remain
extremely
vulnerable
to
the
economic
and
social
crisis
it
can
be
brought
on
by
a
degrading
climate.
A
few
months
ago,
this
government
delayed
indefinitely
the
next
scheduled
increase
to
the
price
of
carbon
in
the
current
economic
context.
This
may
be
seen
as
a
tough
question,
but
it
is
now
more
than
ever
that
we
need
to
talk
about
the
price
signals
that
we
will
use
to
shape.
Our
recovery.
F
Economists
agree
that
consistent
scheduled
increases
to
the
price
of
carbon
is
essential
to
its
effectiveness
as
a
tool
when
the
government
remains
consistent
in
our
policy
to
raise
the
incentive
to
decarbonize
and
innovate,
it
provides
businesses
with
a
certainty
that
they
need
to
plan
for
their
investments
and
moving
to
a
clean
economy.
We
need
a
clean
recovery
and
if
we
don't
continue
with
progressive
carbon
pricing,
we
risk
destroying
the
progress
that
we've
created
thus
far
and
entering
into
a
more
carbon
intensive
recovery.
G
Thank
you
very
much
honorable
speaker
and
thank
you
to
the
member
for
the
question.
British
Columbia
has
the
most
robust
carbon
tax
in
North
America.
We
have
provided
predictability
to
British,
Columbians
and
Industry
by
laying
out
in
advance
a
schedule
that
maintains
that
leadership,
and
that
shows
us
where
we're
going.
But
we
also
know
that
the
carbon
tax
is
not
the
only
tool
necessary
to
make
advances.
In
the
face
of
the
climate
crisis,
we
have
increased
the
climate
action
credit
for
British
Columbians
to
help
families
deal
with
the
cost
and
make
the
changes.
G
We
also
have
the
Clean
BC
industrial
incentive
program
to
do
the
same
thing.
We
also
have
a
suite
of
regulations
and
we're
investing
well
over
a
billion
dollars
over
a
four
year
period
to
fight
climate
change.
But,
honourable
speaker,
the
members
right
we
faced
in
March
a
covert
crisis.
It
doesn't
mean
we
turn
away
from
our
commitment
to
climate
action.
If
anything,
it's
inspired
us
to
double
down
and
ensure
that
clean,
BC
and
climate
action
will
be
at
the
heart
of
our
economic
recovery.
G
But
I
don't
believe
that
it's
responsible
government
in
the
face
of
an
immediate
crisis
that
affected
every
business
and
every
person
in
every
corner
of
British
Columbia
to
move
ahead
without
thinking
about
the
impacts
of
not
making
an
adjustment
to
our
plan,
we
deferred
the
the
increase
in
the
carbon
tax
for
review
by
September
30th.
That
review
will
take
place.
It
will
take
place
in
the
context
of
our
economic
recovery
plans,
as
well
as
the
state
of
Kovach.
We
recognize
the
climate
emergency.
We
also
recognize
the
kovat
crisis.
F
You
mr.
speaker,
and
thank
you
to
the
to
the
minister
for
the
very
thorough
answer
and
for
four
for
the
answer:
sectoral
targets,
as
enabled
by
last
year's
climate
change
accountability,
amendment
act
need
to
be
set
by
March
2021.
This
is
also
an
important
tool.
It
assists
industry
and
the
public
identify
where
emissions
originate.
F
What
policies
are
working
and
those
that
aren't
transparent,
data-driven
sectoral
targets
can
assist
us
in
balancing
our
current
emission
rates
and
reductions
that
are
necessary
to
meet
our
legislative
targets
as
we
work
to
recover
from
a
badly
damaged
economy,
with
both
an
immediate
and
a
long
view.
Establishing
sectoral
targets
will
help
us
achieve
the
prosperous
and
clean
future
that
British
Columbians
won.
Mr.
speaker,
my
question
is
again
to
the
Minister
of
Environment
and
climate
change
strategy.
G
Environment,
thank
you
very
much,
honorable
speaker
and
thank
you
again
to
the
member
we're
very
proud
of
the
work
we've
done
to
create
the
clean
BC
plan
and
part
of
that
was
creating
changes
to
the
climate
change,
Accountability
Act,
the
interim
emissions
target,
as
well
as
the
establishment
and
legislation
of
the
responsibility
to
create
sectoral
targets.
We
did
that
in
consultation
with
the
green
caucus
as
the
member.
Well
knows,
we
also
consulted
quite
broadly
in
the
creation
of
that
new
legislation.
G
We
are
working
hard
to
do
the
engagement
necessary
with
environmental
organisations
with
industry,
with
British
Columbians,
with
municipalities
with
indigenous
people,
to
ensure
that
we
get
the
targets
right
and
that
we
do
it
in
a
way
that
they
can
achieve
their
purpose,
and
their
purpose
is
to
provide
certainty
to
provide
guideposts
along
the
way
to
meeting
our
legislated
targets
to
provide
a
roadmap
to
get
there.
We
have
much
engagement
left
to
do,
but
we
are
on
target
to
be
setting
those
targets,
as
required
by
legislation.
H
Thank
You
mr.
speaker,
communities
across
British
Columbia
are
experiencing
what
the
Housing
Minister
referred
to
quite
dismissively
yesterday,
as
quote
a
bit
of
an
unsettled
time,
and
quote,
this
is
what
Carolyn
and
Paul
Barry
owners
of
spoke
by
Kinski
had
to
say
about
the
rapidly
deteriorating
situation
on
Victoria,
Street,
West
and
Calais,
and
I
quote.
We
are
subject
to
break-ins
vandalism,
theft
and
unlawful
use
of
our
private
property
daily.
We
have
had
our
phone
lines
cuts.
We
had
an
attempted
break-in
through
the
back
of
our
building.
H
We've
had
a
break-in
through
the
roof
of
our
building.
Fires
started
in
trailers
beside
our
building,
our
staff
feel
threatened.
Our
customers
are
being
affected,
as
well
as
the
constant
cleanup.
This
is
the
reality
of
Victorious
for
us
to
end
quote
mr.
speaker.
These
are
real
issues
that
are
undeserving
of
being
associated
with
a
characterization
by
the
minister
as
being
a
bit
of
an
unsettled
time
so
to
the
Housing
Minister.
When
will
she
provide
the
24/7
on-site
wraparound
services
that
our
most
vulnerable
population
needs
and
that
all
of
these
communities
are
calling
out
for.
I
You
very
much
mr.
speaker
and
I
can
appreciate
to
the
member.
You
know
talking
about
some
of
the
challenges
that
that
they
left
behind,
because
they
didn't
do
the
kind
of
supportive
housing
that
is
desperately
needed
and
what
they're
demonstrating
is
just
how
much
more
work
there
is
to
do.
Honourable
speaker,
there's
still
absolutely
lots
of
work
to
do
because
you
can't
fit
sixteen
years
of
bad
in
three
years.
Mr.
I
speaker,
it's
just
impossible,
but
we've
certainly
made
a
good
start
and
I
want
to
point
out
honorable
speaker
that
that
yesterday,
I
I
read
into
the
record
a
job
description,
the
job
posting
for
what
what
it
takes,
the
professional
expertise.
It
takes
to
be
a
supportive
worker
that
is
available
24/7.
But
let
me
read
into
the
record
and
for
the
member
I
want
to
make
sure
that
the
member
understands
exactly
what
other
kind
of
resources
are
absolutely
available
for
these.
I
For
these
people
who
have
been
neglected,
our
little
speaker
been
neglected
for
well
over
a
decade
by
the
previous
government,
so
dr.
Anne
Yin,
who
works
with
the
kool
aid,
Community
Health
Services
outreach
team
here
in
Victoria.
This
is
what
she
had
to
say
recently
on
CBC
Radio
around
the
supports
that
they
bring
her
team
brings
to
those
who
were
homeless.
I
I
Honorable
chair,
she
says,
there's
been
a
fair
bit
of
stabilization
that
has
occurred
in
the
last
few
months,
so
people
are
accessing
health
services,
including
addictions,
care,
mental
health
care
services
and
some
primary
care,
and
what
she
also
says
is
that
what
she's
hearing
is
that
Housing
Works
housing
first
works
and
that
we
need
more
of
it.
Honorable
chair.
H
Thank
you
very
much
mr.
speaker,
news
flash
for
the
minister
opposite.
This
is
three
years
into
their
mandate,
they're
responsible
for
ensuring
that
the
services
are
there
to
help
people
get
better
they're
responsible
for
ensuring
that
there
are
roofs
over
the
over
people's
heads.
They're
responsible
for
responding
to
small
businesses
in
communities
across
this
province,
which
are
constantly
getting
broken
into
they're
responsible
for
the
fact
that
people
in
their
own
neighborhoods
are
terrified
to
walk
out
of
their
out
of
their
doors,
and
this
is
happening
everywhere.
H
So
simply
moving
folks
into
temporary
housing,
while
not
ensuring
that
the
clinicians
are
actually
on
site
is
not
going
to
help
the
vulnerable
population
get
any
better
Nina
and
Mindy
of
sisters.
Sleep
gallery
had
this
to
say
and
I
quote
every
night
our
families
at
home
worried
for
our
safety
and
well-being.
The
question
in
their
minds
always
is:
will
they
make
it
home
safely
at
the
end
of
the
day
and
quote
clearly,
more
resources
are
needed
to
help
people
get
better.
H
Yet
the
minister
says,
while
there
may
be
not
to
be
committed,
clinicians
on-site,
there
is
there's
always
someone
to
have
a
cup
of
tea
with
not
good
enough
to
the
minister
across
the
way.
So
the
question
again
is
this:
when
is
the
minister
going
to
ensure
that
the
24/7
on-site
wraparound
services
and
supports
which
this
government
talks
about
so
often
are
actually
in
place
for
the
people
who
need
those
supports.
I
Thank
you
very
much,
honorable
speaker,
let's
be
clear
about
the
choice
here.
These
people
are
already
part
of
our
communities,
they're
our
mothers
and
our
sisters,
they're
our
fathers
and
our
brothers,
and
they
were
frankly
honorable
speaker.
They
were
ignored
for
a
long
time.
They
were
neglected,
we're
choosing
to
care
for
them
we're
choosing
to
put
them
in
homes,
we're
choosing
to
make
sure
that
they
have
the
supports
that
they
need.
I
They
can
live
on
the
streets,
honorable
speaker,
with
wit,
without
supports,
or
they
can
live
in
a
home
with
supports,
and
if
it
was
up
to
the
opposition,
they
would
still
be
on
the
streets.
Let's
be
really
clear.
So,
while
we're
working
to
tackle
some
very
big
challenges.
Honourable
speaker,
no
one
is
saying
these
aren't
big
challenges.
They
are
absolutely
big
challenges,
we're
working
with
people
and
we're
working
with
communities
the
opposition.
Instead,
honorable
speaker,
is
driving
their
resources
to
drive
division.
A
Overdose
deaths
are
at
an
all-time
high
and
the
homeless
discount
earlier
this
year
indicated
that
homelessness
is
going
up.
The
minister
claims
that
she
is
caring
for
people
that
they
have
wraparound
supports
already
in
place
from
the
people
that
she
has
moved
into
residential
neighborhoods.
That
is
not
what
residents
say.
Rosie
writes
I
feel
like
a
prisoner
in
my
own
home
Jennifer
writes,
we
feel
helpless
and
captive
Tomas
ratings.
No
one
should
feel
unsafe
in
their
own
neighborhood
to
the
minister
of
housing.
I
You
very
much
honorable
chair
and,
like
I
said
we
inherited
a
crisis
from
the
old
government.
We've
been
working
diligently
for
three
years,
but,
like
I
said
you
can't
fix
16
years
of
bad
16
years
of
neglect
and
three
we're
gonna
keep
doing
that
work
honorable
chair.
But
let
me
tell
you
a
story
about
Deborah
and
about
how
Deborah
made
use
of
the
supports
and
services
that
were
available
to
her.
She
moved
into
modular
housing
on
June
of
2018
and
by
Christmas.
Deborah
was
talking
about
getting
sober
and
moving
forward
with
her
life.
I
Honorable
chair,
she
transitioned
from
her
home
to
a
detox
program
in
January
2019,
and
then
she
went.
She
made
the
choice
to
go
into
into
treatment.
Honorable
chair
in
March
2019
and
by
fall
by
fall.
She
had
moved
to
a
sober
living
facility
and
started
to
apply
for
jobs
now
Deborah
honorable
chair
because
of
the
supports
and
the
services
and
the
homes
that
that
she
had
available
to
her.
Deborah
has
18
months
sober
and
a
full
time
job,
and
not
only
that
honorable
chair.
A
Three
years
of
this
government
overdose
deaths
are
at
an
all-time
high
and
homelessness
is
going
up.
How
many
more
years
of
this
government
can
boner
about
people
afford.
My
constituent
barb
forwarded
a
note
from
a
20-year
neighbor.
Wes
I
never
thought
it
would
come
to
this.
We
visit
the
park
daily
with
our
two
young
children.
We
have
to
scan
the
area
and
watch
them
ultra
closely.
We
fear
for
the
children
we
have
posted
our
home
for
sale.
A
J
Thank
you,
Thank
You,
honorable
speaker,
thank
you
to
the
member
for
the
question.
The
member
is
raising
several
different
issues,
all
of
them
very,
very
challenging
ones,
I'm
sure,
there's
not
a
person
in
this
house
whose
heart
is
not
broken
at
the
fact
that
overdose
deaths
are
now
going
up
again
in
our
province.
J
We
know
that
last
year,
as
a
result
of
the
enormous
investments
of
our
province
from
our
government
and
the
thousands
of
people
working
on
the
front
lines
of
the
overdose
crisis
that
the
death
toll
was
going
down.
But,
honourable
speaker,
as
the
member
knows
very
well
and
as
the
coroner
has
been
crystal
clear
about
because
of
the
Cova
19
because
of
the
disruption
and
the
illicit
drug
supply,
the
drugs
on
the
street
are
nor
now
more
toxic
than
ever
before,
and
that's
the
main
factor.
That
means
the
death
toll
has
gone
up.
J
So,
honourable
speaker,
we
are.
We
have
from
from
day
one
as
a
government
we've
been
tackling
the
overdose
crisis
on
many
fronts,
on
housing,
because
social
determinants
of
mental
health
and
addictions
are
very
important.
On
the
poverty
front,
with
a
new
minister
of
poverty
reduction,
who's
taken,
bold
action
and
in
our
government
we
are
working
overtime.
We
are
working
every
single
day
to
escalate
our
response
to
the
overdose
crisis.
Just
this
week,
honorable
speaker,
we
made
some
new
announcements
so
that
we
have
more
tools
in
the
toolbox.
J
New
substance
use
integrated
teams,
honorable
speaker,
because
we
know
that,
for
four
out
of
five
people
who
are
overdosing
have
had
a
connection
with
the
healthcare
system
in
the
last
year,
and
we
want
to
keep
them
connected
with
healthcare
with
the
supports
they
need
with
the
counseling
with
treatment
and
we've
also
just
announced
50
to
70
new
beds.
Honorable
speaker,
we
are
working
across
the
entire
continuum
of
care,
from
harm
reduction
to
treatment
and
recovery
to
prevention
and
honorable
speaker.
It
would
serve
the
people
of
this
province.
J
Well,
it
would
serve
the
people
at
risk
of
overdose
much
better.
If
we
took
the
same
approach
to
addressing
these
issues
as
we
did
on
Kovach
19,
which
means
people
on
both
sides
of
this
house,
coming
together
with
the
people
of
the
province
all
hands
on
deck,
let's
show
the
same
compassion
and
kindness
and
boldness
and
innovation
as
we
did
on
the
overdose
crisis.
As
we
have
unfolded.
K
You,
mr.
speaker-
and
we
know
that
the
overdose
deaths
have
been
going
up
because
this
province
after
three
years
of
a
separate
ministry,
has
failed
to
put
forward
a
proper
mental
health
and
addictions
plan
that
will
actually
help
these
people.
The
fact
is,
is
that
overdoses,
total
overdoses,
non-fatal
overdoses,
have
consistently
gone
out
under
the
NDP's
watch.
K
Fabian
writes
this
is
a
constituent
in
downtown
Vancouver.
Today
he
wrote,
I
live
beside
the
Howard
Johnson
Hotel.
There
is
an
increase
of
disruption,
open
drug
use
and
people
camping
and
defecating
around
the
apartment.
Building
I
live
in
this
is
not
sustainable
and
guess
what
mr.
speaker,
this
is
happening
all
over
the
province
under
the
NDP's
watch.
This
is
in
downtown
Vancouver
and
even
the
NDP
mayor
of
Vancouver
has
said.
The
homelessness
crisis
and
the
addiction
crisis
is
worse
under
this
government
than
ever
before.
So
my
question
is
to
the
Minister
who
is
dismissing
this?
J
Honourable
speaker
I
think
it's
really
unfortunate
that
the
opposition
chooses
to
play
partisan
games
with
an
issue
as
serious
as
this
honorable
speaker.
These
are
the
people
who
are
dying.
Some
of
them
live
on
the
street.
Some
of
them
have
well-paying
jobs,
one
out
of
four
live
in
construction
work
in
construction
or
trades
members.
J
C
J
Already
speaker,
after
16
years
of
that
side
of
the
house,
ignoring
the
system
for
mental
health
and
addictions
care,
we
took
bold
and
decisive
action.
We
took
action
on
the
overdose
crisis
and
we've
been
taking
action
on
the
entire
continuum
of
care.
Honorable
speaker,
let's
talk
about
prevention
for
a
minute.
J
Let's
talk
about
prevention,
because
I
think
our
goal
is
to
start
early
to
start
with
our
kids
to
is
to
address
small
problems
before
they
become
big
problems
and
before
they
turn
to
addiction,
so
I'm
very,
very
proud
that
our
government
has
expanded
the
foundry
network
and
we
will
have
19,
fine,
reuse,
centers
in
communities,
urban
and
rural
right
across
British
Columbia,
and
we're
very
proud
of
that.
That's
about
the
garden
inaudible
speaker!
We
have
been
investing
as
I've
said,
across
the
board,
from
harm
reduction
to
prevention,
to
treatment
and
recovery.
J
We
have
new
risk
mitigation
guidelines.
We
have
new
treatment
beds,
we
have
more
coming
on
stream
soon,
but
it
does
not
serve
the
interests
of
people
at
risk
of
overdose
or
the
people
of
this
province.
To
pretend
that
those
supports
are
not
there
and
to
deny
that
the
cause
of
the
spike
in
overdoses
is
a
person
drug
supply?
That's
the
message.
We
need
to
get
out
there
to
keep
people
safe
across
British,
Columbia.
