A
A
I'd
also
like
to
acknowledge
I'm
on
the
traditional
unseated
territory
of
the
kwetlan
first
nation,
since
this
is
my
first
time
speaking
in
the
house,
I'd
like
to
thank
the
people
of
coquitlam
burke
mountain
for
placing
their
trust
in
me.
I'm
excited
to
get
to
work
on
their
behalf
to
secure
funding
for
new
schools
like
burke,
mountain
secondary
and
middle,
more
child
care
spaces
and
affordable
housing,
better
support
for
seniors
and,
of
course,
for
providing
relief
to
hard
hit
businesses,
families
and
individuals.
A
Thank
you
to
all
who
helped
on
my
campaign.
You
know
who
you
are.
I
couldn't
have
done
it
without
you
and
I
offer
my
congratulations
to
all
members
on
your
election
or
re-election
and
to
those
who
stepped
up
for
the
election
and
put
their
names
on
a
ballot.
Mr
speaker,
these
are
certainly
challenging
and
unprecedented
times
covet.
19
has
taken
so
many
from
us
and
dramatically
altered
our
lives,
making
sure
we
keep
our
distance
wearing
masks,
keeping
up
with
work
responsibilities,
care
for
children,
operating
schools
and
businesses.
A
So
many
have
been
isolated
for
months
our
lives
have
been
turned
upside
down,
especially
for
our
most
vulnerable
citizens.
I
would
like
to
acknowledge
our
provincial
health
officer,
dr
bonnie
henry,
and
her
team.
Dr
henry
has
been
a
pillar
of
strength,
providing
sound
advice
and
leadership.
Since
the
pandemic
began,
she
has
done
a
remarkable
job,
leading
the
fight
alongside
our
tireless
health
minister,
mr
speaker,
all
our
health
care
workers
should
be
commended,
along
with
frontline
workers
and
essential
service
providers,
as
vaccines
continue
to
roll
out.
