Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
2nd Session
42nd Parliament
A
I
believe
I
may
speak
on
behalf
of
the
house
when
I
say
that
our
thoughts
are
with
all
those
in
bc
that
are
suffering
because
of
floods
and
landslides
around
the
province
to
all
of
you
who
have
lost
your
homes
to
all
of
you
who
are
dealing
with
evacuation
trauma
and
those
separated
from
loved
ones,
including
those
re-evacuated
for
a
second
time
now
this
year.
Please
know
that
our
hearts
are
with
you.
A
I
know
that
this
chamber,
in
a
fundamental
and
deeply
non-partisan
way,
is
full
of
compassion
flowing
out
to
you
and
an
eagerness
to
support
you.
I
rise
today
to
shine
some
light
on
the
role
of
local
champions
in
our
communities,
those
souls
that
go
so
far
beyond
their
call
of
duty
to
help
keep
their
communities
safe
and
to
be
sure
that
their
communities
are
restored
and
thrive
in
the
wake
of
crises
like
this.
In
the
context
of
today,
individuals
such
as
mayor
spencer,
coyne
stand
out.
A
A
A
I
would,
of
course
be
remiss
to
not
give
credit
to
the
team
of
boundary
lead
boundary
leaders
in
my
community
that
stepped
forward
three
years
ago,
a
diverse
team
built
on
trust,
including
the
member
in
the
gallery
here
today
or
the
my
guests
in
the
gallery
today.
Those
stories
will
have
to
wait
at
the
end
of
the
day
as
the
dust
settles
after
these
crises,
it's
the
passion
for
our
people
in
place
that
helps
make
bc
resilient
and
robust
paid
or
unpaid
elected,
hired
or
volunteered.
