From YouTube: MARCH 5 2020 Question Period
Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
5th Session
41st Parliament
C
Mr.
speaker,
there's
a
group
of
people
in
front
of
the
building
and
they
they
are
carrying
signs.
That
say
things
like
shut
down
the
government
last
night.
Apparently
a
minister
of
the
crown
thought
it
would
be
a
good
idea
to
bring
some
of
those
folks
in
it
created
chaos.
It
led
to
arrests,
and
we
have
some
questions
about
the
judgment
that
was
displayed
around
that
and
that
would
have
been
my
question,
but
I
am
obliged
now
to
confront
the
Solicitor
General
with
some
information.
C
Stephanie
topic
is
listed
by
OIC
as
having
worked
in
the
Premier's
office
as
the
director
priorities
and
accountabilities
between
September
2017
and
October
2018.
To
be
sure,
she
is
not
listed
as
employed
there.
Now
her
name
is
listed
on
the
Google
spreadsheet,
used
by
blockade
organizers
to
bring
supplies
to
the
occupants
on
the
to
the
occupants
on
the
front
steps
of
the
legislature.
C
She
appears
on
social
media
to
have
posted
a
series
of
messages,
including
the
following
earlier
in
February
quote:
please
come
out
tonight
and
help
keep
the
visibility
of
indigenous
youth
to
protect
them
from
the
Victoria,
Police
Department
and
now
the
incredible
part-
and
it
is
incredible
so
incredible
that
I
hope
the
Solicitor
General
can
stand
up
and
say
it's
not
true.
Stephanie
Papac
is
listed
today
on
the
government
directory
as
the
director
of
strategic
integration
of
indigenous
knowledge
within
the
Ministry
of
Public
Safety.
C
D
C
Think
our
wheelchair
I'll
accept
that
from
the
minister.
I
do
hope,
however,
that
he'll
clarify
this
matter
today,
if
not
in
the
house,
through
some
other
some
other
venue,
I'll
return,
then
to
the
to
the
matter.
In
the
events
of
last
night
for
the
the
minister,
I
mentioned
a
group
who
have
dedicated
themselves
apparently
to
shutting
down
the
government,
they
are
connected
and
supportive
of
other
blockades
and
protests
taking
place
around
the
province
and
last
night
the
Minister
apparently
thought
it
would
be
a
good
idea
to
invite
them
into
the
building
it
led
to
chaos.
C
It
led
to
arrests
within
these
galleries,
are
closed
to
the
public
and
have
been
all
week,
and
the
minister
thought
it
would
be
a
good
idea
to
invite
these
folks
into
the
building
and
it
led
to
the
police
having
to
attend.
The
police
have
released
a
statement
that
the
minister
will
hear
about.
In
a
moment.
Their
members
were
surrounded
by
hundreds
of
protesters
and
for
hours
they
were
precluded
from
attending
to
other
possible
emergencies
in
and
around
Victoria.
C
How
is
the
judgment?
The
poor
judgment,
the
lack
of
judgment
that
the
minister
displayed
last
night?
How
is
that
supposed
to
convey
any
sense
of
confidence
or
create
any
sense
of
confidence
that
he
has
the
necessary
judgment
to
undertake
on
behalf
of
British
Columbians
and
negotiations
that
are
taking
place
today?.
E
Thank
You
honorable
honorable
speaker
and
we
received
a
request
for
a
meeting
with
the
protesters
outside
who
have
been
there
for
probably
two
weeks
now,
honorable
speaker
last
night,
I'm
at
in
good
faith
with
the
delegation
of
the
indigenous
youth
who
have
been
protesting,
obviously
and
I
want
to
I
wanted
to
share
with
them
the
work
that
we're
doing
with,
with
wit.
So
it's
an
hereditary
Chiefs
to
make
the
historic
progress
on
Rights
entitle.
E
My
hope,
my
hope
on
O
speaker
was
to
convince
them
to
give
space
to
the
with
so
attend
people
as
they
consider
the
agreement
and
and
to
end
the
protest
autumn.
O
speaker,
we
had
respectful
discussion.
It
was
witnessed
by
a
member
of
the
leader
for
the
third
party,
remember
from
from
Saanich
north
and
the
island,
and
I
want
to
want
to
thank
him
for
her
green
to
do
that.
E
Honorable
speaker,
there
was
an
agreement
that
the
the
we
had
a
respectful
discussion,
but
there
was
an
agreement
and
a
commitment
that
they
did
not
honor
that
they
would
leave
following
the
event
at
honourable
speaker,
I'm
deeply
disappointed,
obviously
that
they
broke
their
word,
but
I
stand
by
my
commitment
to
meet
with
people
honorable
speaker
with
respect
and
willingness
to
listen
to
others,
honorable
speaker
in
my
job,
if
you,
if
you
can't
start
a
discussion
with
respect
with
good
faith
and
with
and
with
an
offering
trust.
Honourable
speaker
I've
found.
E
F
C
That
work
within
this
building
and
people
in
and
around
Victoria,
for
whom
the
police,
the
numerous
police
who
were
required
to
attend,
were
no
longer
available
to
provide
service.
My
question
is
before
he
took
this
extraordinary
step
that
played
out
so
badly.
Did
he
seek
advice
from
the
Minister
of
Public
Safety.
E
A
For
weeks
now,
all
of
us
in
this
building
have
been
carefully
following
the
advice
we've
been
given
by
Legislative
Protective
Services,
and
some
of
that
advice
needs
to
be
very
careful
about
who
we're
bringing
into
the
building.
Many
people
may
not
know
this
in
the
public,
but
as
legislatures
we
have
access
to
the
building
anytime
day
or
night,
and
legislative
services
will
stand
by
and
allow
us
to
use
our
judgment
to
bring
people
into
the
building.
A
He
talks
about
being
surprised
that
these
protesters
didn't
keep
their
commitment.
These
are
the
same
protesters
that
promised
when
they
first
set
up
their
camp.
They
promised
that
they
would
leave
in
five
days.
That's
what
they
told
Protective
Services.
They
did
not.
They
promised
that
would
not
light
a
fire.
They
broke
that
promise
too.
I
have
a
really
difficult
time.
A
Understanding
how
someone
with
good
judgment
would
believe
they
would
keep
their
commitment
to
leave
the
room,
but
here's
what
the
Victoria
Police
Department
said
this
morning
in
a
statement
that
they
issued,
and
this
is
what
should
concern
all
members
of
the
public
in
and
around
the
Victoria
area.
With
respect
to
the
judgment
of
this
Minister,
here's
what
they
said
and
I
quote
officers
who
were
responding
to
the
scene
were
surrounded
by
over
a
hundred
protesters
were
unable
to
respond
to
emergency
calls
for
service
and
I
understand
from
the
statement.
A
E
E
And
as
well,
OTO
speaker,
the
Victoria,
Police,
Department
and
and
likewise
their
their
calm
professionalism
that
they
displayed
last
night
in
a
difficult
time
and
I
very
much
respect
that
and
the
work
that
they
do.
When
I
met
with
the
delegation,
there
was
an
agreement
that
they
would
leave.
I
I
met
them
at
good
faith.
E
E
The
way
I
operate
as
a
minister
is
and
I've
learned
this
in
working
with
indigenous
peoples
and
First
Nations.
Is
that
respect
and
trust
and
good
faith
is
the
approach
towards
reconciliation,
the
only
approach
that
can
possibly
work.
Honorable
speaker
I
made
the
decision
I
as
I
mentioned,
I
discussed,
it
would
be
discussed
it
with
the
with
the
the
speaker
and
sergeant-at-arms
was
there
and
we
we
we
entered
into
these
discussions
with
good
faith
and
I
am
very
disappointed,
pointed
that
the
and
the
discussions
were
productive.
A
You,
mr.
speaker,
I'm
I'm
really
quite
shocked
that
the
first
thing
that
the
Minister
didn't
do
when
he
got
up
in
this
house
is
to
apologize,
I'm
quite
shocked,
I
fully
expected.
There
would
be
some
printed
apology
statement
ready
for
him.
I'm,
probably
not
surprised
that
he
won't
answer
the
question
as
to
whether
or
not
he
can.
He
decided
to
seek
advice
from
the
premiers
office
because,
in
spite
of
our
many
disagreements,
I'm
pretty
sure
your
premier
wouldn't
have
shown
that
kind
of
bad
judgment.
A
Here
we
are,
though,
mr.
speaker,
with
hours
and
hours
of
the
Victoria
Police
Department,
not
being
able
to
respond
to
emergency
calls.
This
building
put
at
risk
security
services
put
at
risk
security
services.
Here
the
Minister
has
complimented
them
each
and
every
day
they
are
putting
in
incredible
amounts
of
overtime
to
deal
with
this
protest.
A
They
are
being
very
experiencing
abuse
being
hurled
at
them
each
and
every
day,
and
then
you
force
them
to
stand
back
as
you
bring
some
of
these
protesters
in
I
want
to
know
from
the
member
he's
implied
by
saying
they're
at
the
meeting.
He's
implied
that
the
sergeant-at-arms
office
actually
was
okay
with
him
doing
this.
Is
that
actually
the
advice
he
was
given.
E
Have
an
approach
as
a
minister
that
has
that
is
that
is
that
that
that
I've
learned
that
I've
learned,
not
just
in
my
time
as
Minister,
but
in
my
time
in
opposition
in
my
time,
in
opposition
I
witnessed
from
the
other
side,
their
approach,
honorable
speaker
and
so
I.
Don't
think
I
need
to
take
any
lessons
from
the
other
side.
E
Honorable
speaker
in
members
members
order
please,
instead
of
working
respectfully
instead
of
working
respectfully
with
indigenous
peoples,
the
other
side
held
a
referendum
honorable
speaker
on
indigenous
rights,
kind
of
a
a
tyranny
by
the
majority
approach
that
isn't
our
approach.
Honorable
speaker,
our
government
believes
in
bringing
people
together.
E
And
honorable
speaker
they,
these
are.
These
are
hard
situations
and
we
should
not
shy
away
from
the
fact
that
it
is
dialogue
that
will
solve
them.
And
honorable
speaker,
I,
am
deeply
disappointed
that
the
respect
that
the
memory
from
sanest
North
the
islands
and
I
gave
to
the
small
group
of
individuals
who
agree
that
we
agreed
to
speak
with
did
not
reflect
that
respect.
But,
honorable
speaker,
the
the
way
forward.
G
You
honorable
speaker
on
Tuesday
this
week,
government
tabled
a
bill
to
legislate
five
days
paid
leave
for
survivors
of
domestic
or
sexualized
violence.
It
is
an
absolutely
crucial
change
and
one
that
our
caucus
is
proud
to
support.
Ensuring
that
survivors
have
the
ability
to
take
off
time
when
they
need
to
seek
medical
care
meet
with
law
enforcement
or
access
emergency
counseling
service
services
following
an
assault
is
critical,
as
is
ensuring
those
services
are
there
when
they
go
look
for
them
in
many
areas
of
our
province.
This
is
not
the
case.
G
The
decision
by
multiple
governments
over
many
decades
to
consistently
under
fund
the
medical
and
justice
services
needed
by
survivors
of
sexual
eyes
dry
lence,
is
inherently
sexist
and
dangerous
to
women.
It
does
not
have
to
be
this
way
as
we
raise
the
question
in
Parian
question
period
on
Monday
BC
is
home
to
an
integrated
clinic
that
offers
medical
police
and
counseling
services
in
one
location
and
is
a
model
that
has
proven
both
medically
and
fiscally
to
provide
better
care
at
a
lower
cost.
G
All
communities
deserve
this
level
of
support
through
you,
honorable
speaker,
my
question
is
to
either
the
Minister
of
Health
or
the
Minister
of
Public
Safety
and
Solicitor
General,
given
the
overlap
and
intersection
between
health
and
justice
in
cases
of
sexualized
violence,
which
one
of
you
is
taking.
Responsibility
for
ensuring
these
specialized
services
are
available
to
survivors
when
they
leave
work
to
look
for
them.
D
Thank
You
honorable
speaker
and
I
thank
the
the
Honourable
member
for
that.
For
that
very
important
question.
All
ministries
in
government
take
this
issue
that
she
has
raised
extremely
seriously,
whether
it's
my
ministry
or
the
Ministry
of
Health
or
other
ministries
in
government.
That's
why
I
can
tell
you
that,
in
terms
of
the
the
work
that
my
ministry
does
around
sexualized
violence
we're
spending
right
now,
more
than
37
million
dollars
a
year
to
more
than
400
agencies
providing
services
right
across
the
province.
G
You,
honourable
speaker
and
I'm
pleased
that
the
minister
agrees
that
the
Victoria
clinic
is
a
model.
However,
they
did
make
a
funding
request
for
budget
2020,
which
was
rejected
and
that
request
would
have
helped
with
sending
communities
and
clinics
the
capacity
to
build
up
this
model
across
the
province.
Providing
people
with
effective
medical
and
police
support
are
not
elective
services
to
be
thrown
grant
money
if
we
have
some
left
over
at
the
end
of
the
year.
Honourable
speaker,
these
are
essential
government
services
and
it's
not
enough
to
just
focus
on
clinics
in
major
cities.
G
People
are
assaulted
on
literally
in
literally
every
community
in
the
province,
and
we
cannot
pretend
that
these
rates
aren't
impacted
by
government's
priorities.
As
a
final
report
from
the
missing
and
murdered
indigenous
women
and
girls
inquiry
stated,
there
is
substantial
evidence
linking
major
resource
extraction
projects
and
violence
against
indigenous
women.
This
government
can
find
billions
of
dollars
to
subsidize
these
projects,
and
yet,
when
we
need
the
millions
to
respond
to
the
car,
Quinn
says
they
aren't
there
through
you.
Honorable
speaker,
my
question
is
to
the
Minister
of
Public
Safety
and
Solicitor
General.
D
Thank
you,
honourable
speakers.
I
said
a
moment
ago.
H
Ministry
and
government
takes
these
issues
extremely
seriously
and,
as
I
outlined,
that's
why
funding
has
been
increased
in
budget
since
we
became
office.
That's
why
an
additional
five
million
dollars
each
year,
an
additional
three
million
dollars
on
top
of
that
funding
is
in
place
in
issues
budget,
as
I
said,
I
want
to
see
these
kinds
of
services
extended
around
the
province,
but
in
a
way
that
meets
the
needs
of
particular
communities.
D
I
we
we
have
committed
by
the
actions
that
we
have
taken
to
date,
as
I've
said
in
the
case
of
the
Victoria
Centre,
which
I
think
is
doing
excellent
work.
I'm
looking
forward
to
receiving
their
grant
application
base,
funding
has
increased
in
other
areas
of
government
and,
as
I
can
tell
you,
this
is
a
priority
and
will
continue
to
be
one.
H
Gordon
head,
the
honorable
speaker,
honorable
speaker,
I'm
sure
every
member
of
this
house
will
agree
that
a
stable
regulatory
environment
is
key
to
maintaining
bc's
reputation
as
a
welcoming
place
to
do
business.
This
means
that
the
approval
of
natural
resource
projects
must
be
based
on
scientific
evidence
and
not
politics.
Yet
in
2012,
honourable
speaker,
upon
recommendation
from
the
executive
director
of
the
environmental
assessment
office,
the
BC
Liberals
rejected
the
Morris
and
mine
project
proposed
by
Pacific
Booker
minerals.
Despite
it
having
received
a
positive
environmental
assessment
in
justifying
their
decision.
H
Honorable
speaker,
they
cited
environmental
concerns
about
the
effects
of
the
mine
on
water
quality
in
morrison
lake
and
local
salmon
populations.
Despite
already
having
a
positive
environmental
assessment
and
despite
their
rejection
of
the
pacific
Booker
project
in
2013,
the
BC
Liberals
went
to
Ottawa
to
lobby
the
federal
government
to
approach
approve
the
prosperity,
mind,
a
prop,
a
project
that
had
received
two
negative
assessments
by
federal
review
panels.
There's
some
suspicion,
honorable
speaker
that
the
decision
around
the
Morrison
mine
had
less
to
do
with
environmental
concerns
and
more
to
do
with
political
calculation.
H
I
I'd
like
to
thank
the
member
for
OKPAY
Gordon
head
for
his
question,
I'm
sure
the
member
will
appreciate
that
I
am
not
in
a
position
to
advise
what
led
the
former
government
to
make
us
decision
about
the
proposed
morris
and
mine.
What
I
can
say,
though,
that
their
approach
was
a
short-sighted
and
certainly
didn't
bring
certainty
to
the
sector.
Our
government
has
taken
a
different
approach
or
my
predecessor
as
Minister,
initiated
the
mining
jobs
task
force,
which
worked
hard
with
First
Nations
industry
and
communities
to
find
ways
to
strengthen
this
fundamental
foundational
industry.
I
The
there
were
25
recommendations
emanating
from
the
task
force,
they've
all
been
accepted
by
government
and
almost
all
of
them
have
now
been
implicated
implemented.
We
we
have
made
two
mining
tax
credits,
permanent,
bringing
immediate
benefits
to
the
BC
mineral
exploration
sector.
By
adding
more
certainty,
we've
invested
a
million
dollars
for
the
remaining
innovation
roadmap,
a
million
dollars
for
the
regional
mining
alliance
and
just
as
further
evidence
of
the
strengthening
of
the
sector.
H
You
honorable
speaker,
I,
must
admit
that
was
a
lot
of
information
about
a
lot
of
minds
that
weren't
the
mine
I'm,
actually
talking
about.
Maybe
I
can
try
again
honorable
speaker,
a
key
element
of
the
previous
government's
unrealistic
strategy
for
natural
resource
development
revolved
around.
As
we
all
know,
LNG.
H
We
know
that
certain
natural
gas
projects
were
located
in
areas
close
to
the
Morrison
mine
comments
from
groups
engaged
in
the
Pacific
Booker
project
have
indicated
that
the
province
was
facing
significant
pressure
to
avoid
reopening
discussions
around
the
Morrison
mine
in
order
to
obtain
the
support
necessary
for
the
prince
rupert
gas
transmission
line.
The
decision
to
reject
the
project
had
serious
repercussions
for
pacific
Brooker.
Their
share
price
plummeted
from
$14.95
to
$4.95
in
one
day,
and
many
investors
lost
their
life
savings.
H
What's
more
honourable
speaker
is
that
the
ministry
failed
to
inform
Pacific
Booker
of
its
intention
to
issue
an
adverse
recommendation
and
did
not
provide
the
company
with
an
opportunity
to
respond
to
it.
After
a
legal
battle,
honourable
speaker,
in
which
the
Supreme
Court
found
that
this
conduct
violated
standards
of
procedural
fairness
and
that
the
environmental
assessment
office
recommendation
be
presented
to
cabinet
for
reconsideration,
the
government
once
again
rejected
the
project
and
ordered
it
to
undergo
further
assessment.
H
However,
honourable
speaker,
in
its
order,
the
government
appeared
to
issue
unclear
directions
that
substantially
delayed
the
process
as
of
2019
in
September.
Honourable
members,
as
of
September
2019
honorable
speaker,
Pacific
Booker
had
yet
to
be
fully
provided
with
this
opportunity.
My
question
again
is
to
the
Minister
of
Energy
Mines
and
petroleum
resources.
When
is
this
firm
going
to
have
the
chance
to
have
their
project
undergo
further
assessment,
as
put
forward
by
the
Supreme
Court.
I
You,
mr.
speaker,
the
short
answer
is
the
company
is
currently
working
through
the
required
regulatory
processes
for
further
assessment.
The
further
assessment
for
the
proposed
project
includes
the
requirement
for
a
supplemental
application
information
requirement.
There
are
a
number
of
requirements.
The
eao
continues
to
work
with
the
company
on
this
and
I'm
advised
that
the
latest
submission
was
received
by
the
e
AO
in
December
2019.
F
Thank
You
mr.
speaker.
Well
yesterday
the
premier
declared
that
there
had
been
a
drastic
drop
off
in
blockades
and
he
predicted
a
period
of
calm
would
prevail.
Well
only
hours
later
there
were
three
new
blockades:
the
busy
Camby
and
49th
intersection
in
Vancouver,
the
University
Boulevard
and
Westbrook
mall
intersection
at
the
University
of
British
Columbia
and
the
intersection
of
Mountain
Highway
and
Keith
Road
in
North
Vancouver
and
all
of
us
know
what
happened
here
in
the
legislature.
Five
people
were
arrested
at
the
legislature,
so
much
for
the
Premier's
prediction
about
a
period
of
calm.
F
These
blockades
continue
to
impact
British
Columbians
lives,
they're
disrupting
people
who
just
want
to
get
on
with
their
day
and
get
home
to
their
families.
So
British
Columbians
deserve
to
know
what
the
Minister
of
indigenous
relations
did
and
what
he
said
and
how
he
worked
through
his
negotiations
to
deal
with
the
blockades.
Can
he
stand
up
today
and
tell
British
Columbians
exactly
what
his
negotiations
discussed
when
it
came
to
ending
blockades
in
the
province.
E
And
the
memory
knows
this:
we've
canvases
before
that,
the
discussions
that
we
had
with
the
with
soweth
and
hereditary
chiefs
last
weekend.
Three
days,
three
nights
we're
in
camera,
and
it
was
so
it's
not
appropriate
for
me
with
respect
to
the
word
salted
people
to
speak
to
those
issues
until
the
the
resultant
people
have
a
chance
to
review
and
ratify
the
arrangement
that
we
had
come
to
regarding
a
recognition,
a
process
to
recognize
rights
and
title.
But
I
will
say
on
what
speaker
that.
E
We're
guided
in
this
place
by
a
significant
one
of
the
most
significant
pieces
of
legislation
that
this
place
has
ever
seen
few
months
ago
with
a
bill
41.
The
declaration
on
the
rights
of
indigenous
peoples,
act
and
I
just
want
I
know,
there's
some
grounds
from
the
other
side.
I
would
note
that
the
other
side
voted
for
this
piece
of
legislation.
E
I,
don't
think
it
was
unanimous
now,
maybe
maybe
it's
not
the
actions
they
voted
for
maybe
they
just
voted
for
the
words,
but
the
declaration
actually
speaks
to
consulting
and
collaborate,
consulting
and
collaborating
in
good
faith
with
indigenous
peoples
as
a
way
to
change
the
crown
indigenous
relationship,
which
is
long
overdue,
audible,
speaker.
That
is
exactly
what
we
are
doing
as
government
it's.
What
I
am
doing
is
Minister
and
is
it
hard
work?
I've,
never
I've,
never
faced
harder
challenges.
Honorable
speaker,
is
it
worth
it?
Yes,
it
is.
F
You,
mr.
speaker,
well,
all
of
us
in
this
house
recognize
the
responsibilities
that
we
have
and
one
of
those
responsibilities.
The
primary
one
is
to
stand
in
this
place
and
ask
questions
and
get
answers
for
all
British
Columbians.
We
should
be
clear
that
British
Columbians
expected
this
Minister
in
those
negotiations
and
any
agreement
that
he
agreed
to
would
include
the
issue
of
blockades,
but
that
simply
hasn't
happened
and
British
Columbians
have
no
idea.
F
Not
one
detail
of
the
agreement
that
this
Minister
agreed
to
the
public
are
the
are
not
the
only
ones
who
are
in
the
dark.
The
elected,
wet,
suet
and
Chiefs
are
saying,
and
I
quote,
this
is
from
the
elected,
wet,
suet
and
Chiefs.
Negotiation
of
this
agreement
to
date
has
moved
forward
without
our
wet
suet
in'
communities.
End
quote
and
on
the
other
hand,
we
have
the
hereditary
chief
saying
that
the
premier-
and
I
quote,
let
his
ego
guide
his
mouth
end
quote.
F
B
J
I
appreciate
the
question
from
the
member
and
I'll:
do
my
level
best
to
give
her
direct
answers
to
the
points
that
she
raised.
I'm
not
familiar
with
the
quotations
she
referred
to
my
mouth
and
my
ego
I
look
forward
to
the
comprehensive
quote
sent
over
at
any
moment
now,
but
what
I
do
want
to
say
to
all
members
and
to
all
British
Columbians?
These
are
extraordinary
times,
they're
extremely
uncomfortable
for
opposition
for
government
for
those
who
are
in
the
gallery,
those
are
at
home
for
the
media.
For
all
of
us.
J
This
has
been
an
extraordinary
few
weeks,
unparalleled
in
my
personal
experience
and
and
I
believe
in
the
history
of
British
Columbia.
That
is
not
to
diminish
the
responsibility
that
government
has,
but
it's
also
to
remind
that.
Those
of
us
are
sitting
here
that
we
have
a
collective
responsibility
for
the
legislative
assembly
through
the
speaker's
office
in
the
Legislative
Assembly
management
committee.
That's
where
those
issues
with
respect
to
the
group
outside
should
be
handled.
I
have
full
support
in
the
Minister
of
indigenous
relations.
Looking
for
an
off-ramp
in
a
very
difficult
situation,
I
believe
that.
J
Personally,
apologize
too
I
want
to
personally
apologize
to
the
Victoria
Police
Department
for
the
situation
they
found
themselves
in,
but
I
would
also
ask
the
the
member
who
asked
the
question
the
leader
of
the
Official,
Opposition
and
other
members
on
the
opposition
side.
What
suggestions
and
advice
they
may
have
for
how
we
address
the
situation
where.
J
J
Do
we
work
together
as
British
Columbians,
putting
aside
our
partisan
perspectives
and
try
and
find
a
way
forward?
We
agreed
in
November
as
a
unit
as
every
member
of
this
house
to
work
towards
genuine
reconciliation.
That's
what
we're
trying
to
do,
honourable
speaker,
is
the
mob
outside
helpful.
I
would
suggest
not
it
will
then
what.
