Member

Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
Mr
speaker,
we
all
know
it's
been
a
difficult
few
years
for
businesses
across
british
columbia.
The
kova
19
pandemic
has
had
impacts
on
all
of
us,
and
while
we
have
respected
public
health
measures
and
restrictions,
we
have
also
recognized
the
challenges
that
businesses
have
been
facing.
A
Many
have
been
forced
to
shut
down
due
to
lost
revenues.
Others
continue
to
struggle
to
keep
their
doors
open,
and
then
there
were
the
climate
disasters,
the
wildfires,
the
floods
and
the
heat
dome,
which
caused
catastrophic
damage
to
businesses,
farms
and
ranches.
Yet,
throughout
all
these
difficult
times,
one
thing
has
remained
constant.
A
A
The
bc
chamber
of
commerce
has
been
a
prominent
voice
advocating
for
adequate
supports
for
our
businesses
during
these
challenging
times
and
as
we
work
to
ensure
our
promise
province
and
its
economy
recover
from
events
like
the
pandemic
and
natural
disasters.
It's
important.
We
work
together
with
our
chambers
to
build
an
environment
where
businesses
can
not
only
survive
but
thrive
where
innovation
and
inclusivity
are
deeply
supported
and
where
businesses
can
be
competitive.
Once
again,
the
chamber
represents
businesses,
large
and
small,
mr
speaker.
A
A
These
are
the
values
that
the
chamber
promotes
on
a
regular
basis,
mr
speaker,
but
they
are
never
more
important
than
now
as
we
emerge
from
these
extremely
impactful
events.
Thank
you,
honorable
speaker,
for
allowing
me
to
take
a
few
moments
to
recognize
the
chamber
during
this
start
of
chamber
of
commerce
week.
