Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
2nd Session
42nd Parliament
A
Member
for
richmond
north
center
in
the
film
that
poets
society,
the
latest
robin
williams,
remarked
medicine
law,
business
engineering.
These
are
noble,
pursuits
and
necessary
to
sustain
life,
but
poetry,
beauty,
romance
love.
These
are
what
we
stay
alive
for
in
a
few
short
lines.
He
captures
the
value
of
the
arts
in
our
society
and,
as
we
are
surrounded
by
the
natural
beauty
of
province,
it
is
easy
to
see
why
bc
has
never
been
short
of
artistic
and
creative
missionaries
here
in
bc.
A
We
are
mocking
creative
industries
week
a
week
in
which
we
celebrate
and
recognize
many
creative
industries
and
the
thousands
of
people
who
have
and
continue
to
be,
the
driving
forces
behind
bc's
arts
and
culture
scene
bc
is
blessed
with
a
wide
array
of
creative
industries,
including
book
and
magazine
publishing,
motion
picture
production,
interactive
and
digital
media
and
music
and
sound
recording,
all
of
which
help
bring
in
billions
of
dollars
in
revenue.
But
the
contribution
of
this
industry
go
further
than
that.
A
I
recently
rose
in
this
house
to
speak
on
the
passing
of
my
friend
zhang
jung,
a
pioneer
in
business,
film
industry,
who
not
only
helped
put
bc
on
the
map
as
hollywood
north,
but
as
a
community
that
promotes
its
multicultural
identity
through
the
arts.
We
are
blessed
with
so
many
people
from
all
backgrounds
that
continue
his
vision
and
continue
to
build
bc's
cultural
identity.
A
Like
all
sectors,
our
economy,
many
of
bc's
creative
industries
have
been
hit
hard
by
the
pandemic,
as
many
of
us
continue
to
endure
the
challenges
of
this
pandemic.
I
think
we
are
all
reminded
of
the
value
and
us
bring
to
all
of
us,
so
let's
do
everything
we
can
to
support
them
and
the
crucial
work
they
do.
Thank
you.
