3rd Session
42nd Parliament
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Honorable
speaker,
Partnerships
in
collaboration,
are
essential
to
all
of
our
success
as
mlas
it's
when
we
work
together
with
all
levels
of
government
prioritizing
local
communities,
that
great
things
can
happen.
I've
had
the
honor
to
work
with
our
local
KTM,
Quantum
First,
Nations,
The
Province
right
now,
for
example,
is
partnering
with
Casey
on
on
reserve
housing
for
indigenous
youth,
elders
and
families.
This
supportive
Living
Model
helps
with
housing
challenges,
but
also
moves
towards
healing
and
Reconciliation,
and
this
Spirit
of
partnership
and
cooperation
crosses
party
lines
as
well.
A
Honorable
speaker
in
2015
I
lost
the
federal
election
to
the
former
MP
Dan
Rumi,
and
then
I
was
elected
as
MLA
in
2017
and
I
got
to
work
very
closely
with
them
and
together
we
were
able
to
work
on
a
number
of
projects,
including
fighting
for
the
final
four
Landing
of
Highway
7
in
Maple
Ridge,
a
very
dangerous
stretch
of
highway.
Well,
I'm
happy
to
say,
honorable
speaker,
construction
starts
this
fall
recently.
It
was
wonderful
to
meet
Municipal
leaders
at
ubcm
and
show
solidarity
with
local
officials
who
attended
meetings
with
ministers.
A
For
example,
I
met
I
had
a
half
dozen
meetings
with
ministers
in
the
city
of
mission.
In
fact,
I've
worked
very
closely
with
the
Mission
City
Council,
currently
with
mayor
Paul
horn
and
we've
worked
as
included
missions,
sewer
and
Wastewater
Improvement
project
benefiting
communities
all
over
the
Fraser
Valley
Fraser
River.
A
In
addition,
during
ubcm
the
province
working
with
both
Abbotsford
with
retiring
mayor,
Braun
and
Mission,
announced
funding
for
a
very
important
new,
well
and
water
treatment
system
that
will
benefit
Abbotsford,
Mission
and
Massacre
First
Nation
residents
ensuring
both
the
Water
Systems
remain
reliable
in
the
event
of
climate
disasters.
By
working
together,
we
can
drive
progress
for
all
residents
of
BC
I'm,
looking
forward
to
all
the
great
work
we
can
do
continuing
through
Partnerships
and
collaborations
with
all
levels
of
government
in
our
community.
Thank
you
very
much.
