Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
4th Session
42nd Parliament
A
You
Mr
Speaker,
well,
life
has
never
been
more
unaffordable
than
it
is
today
under
the
NDP
government
and
now
wasteful
spending
of
Epic
Proportions
on
public
infrastructure
projects
is
making
things
considerably
worse
for
British
Columbia
struggling
families.
The
Cowichan
Hospital
project
is
now
three
years
behind
schedule
and
850
million
dollars
over
budget
all
due
to
NDP
incompetence.
The
project
is
under
a
so-called
CBA
or
Community
ripoff
agreement
that
excludes
actually
discriminates
against
85
percent
of
BC's
construction
workers.
A
Now
these
rip-off
agreements
also
deny
qualified
local
and
Indigenous
workers
like
contractors
and
contractors
like
John
Coleman,
who
is
here
with
us
today
the
opportunity
to
work
on
vital
projects,
public
projects
within
their
respective
community,
John,
says
and
I
quote:
abolish
the
CBA
you're
disrespecting
everyone
at
the
table.
There
is
no
reconciliation,
end
quote
so.
Will
the
premier
end
the
discriminatory
Community
rip-off
agreements
that
are
preventing
indigenous
contractors
like
John
Coleman,
from
participating
in
projects
within
their
traditional
territory?.
C
I
can
tell
you
that
people
in
the
couch
and
Valley
agree
with
me
honorable
speaker
that
the
couch
and
Hospital
needed
to
be
built
years
ago-
and
we
are
proceeding
to
do
just
that
honorable
speaker,
adding
dozens
of
new
acute
care
beds.
Mental
health
facilities
that
matter
to
people
everywhere
in
BC
and
matter
to
people
in
the
region
improve
capacity
for.
C
Honorable
speaker,
all
of
those
things
come
and
honorable
speaker.
Yes,
everyone
working
on
the
couch
in
hospital.
They
lives
within
100
kilometers
of
the
hospital
honors,
will
speaker
building,
support
and
building
the
community
and
training
more
people.
While
we
do
that
work,
more
than
20
percent
of
people
under
the
CDA
are
indigenous.
Now,
as
I
said
in
response
to
a
question
last
week,
honorable
speaker,
the
cowardson
Development
Corporation
is
now
eligible
to
bid
for
work
on
the
couch
and
Hospital
site
without
a
change
to
their
Workforce.
C
Honorable
speaker,
discussions
between
the
subcontractor
and
the
KDC
began
last
Thursday,
honorable
speaker
and
our
government
is
met
with
Chief
Whitson
and
Jody
dick
the
CEO
of
their
development
corporations,
to
ensure
that
everyone
is
clear
on
the
process.
We
of
course
need
everyone
to
build
this
extraordinary
and
important
project
for
health
care
that
will
serve
the
college
and
Valley
for
decades
to
come.
We
support
it.
Honorable
speaker,
we've
brought
it
into
place.
We
are
building
the
hospital,
something
the
previous
government
failed
to
do
for
years.
A
You
Mr
Speaker,
well,
this
project
just
highlights
the
India
NDP
incompetence
at
a
whole
other
level,
we're
talking
about
again
a
project
that
is
three
years
late
and
850
million
dollars
over
budget.
But,
worse
than
that,
if
it's
possible
to
be
worse
than
that
Mr
Speaker
this
project,
it
doesn't
make
it
it
doesn't
enable
anyone
to
be
eligible
to
work
on
the
project.
A
The
the
BC
infrastructure
benefit
website
actually
says,
and
I
quote,
you
are
required
to
apply
for
membership
with
one
of
the
Affiliated
unions
within
30
calendar
days,
end
quote
and
guess
what
John
Coleman
he
doesn't
want
to
abandon
his
business
model.
He
doesn't
want
to
to
get
rid
of
over
half
of
his
workers,
which
is
what
you
would
end
up
having
to
do
if
he
was
to
go
and
sign
on
with
one
of
these
with
encourages
workers
to
sign
on
with
these
with
these
unions.
A
What
he
does
want
to
do
is
he
wants
his
workers
and
he
wants
his
business
to
be
able
to
work
on
a
project
in
their
traditional
territory,
Mr
Speaker.
At
a
time
when
families
are
struggling,
it's
shameful
to
see
every
single
one
of
the
ndps
community.
Ripoff
projects
results
in
less
for
more
patella
Bridge
delayed
a
year.
C
A
Anywhere
pick
a
project
they're
all
a
massively
hiring
costs
with
reduced
scope
and
now
the
couch
and
Hospital
85
million
over
budget
Dan
Gillespie
of
down
to
earth.
Trucking
says
and
I
quote
this
discrimination
isn't
right
and
it
doesn't
benefit
the
little
guys
in
our
town
and
I
support,
John,
Coleman
and
other
local
contractors.
In
calling
for
the
CBA
policy
to
be
abolished,
end
quote
so
again
a
question
to
the
premier.
Will
he
get
up
today
with
John
Coleman
and
many
others
watching
John
Coleman
here
in
the
chamber?
C
Of
Health
honorable
speaker,
the
industry
average
for
indigenous
participation
on
such
projects
is
six
percent
on
the
couch
and
project
is
well
over
20
percent.
Honorable
speaker,
that
shows
the
progress
you
can
make
when
you
get
a
priority
to
ensuring
that
when
a
project
is
built,
it
doesn't
just
build
build
our
our
health
care
capacity
that
improves
the
ability
of
people
to
work
now
and
in
the
future,
brings
access
honorable
speaker
to
training
and
to
benefit
more
times
as
much
is
pretty
significant.
C
Honorable
speaker,
I,
just
say
this:
on
Health
Care
projects
in
general
I
could
go
down
the
line
honorable
speaker,
Dawson,
Creek,
Hospital
delayed
for
decades,
honorable
speaker
being
built
now,
I
see
you.
C
E
You
Mr
Speaker,
well
the
minister
better
brush
up
on
some
of
his
own
announcements,
because
Dawson
Creek
has
been
delayed
by
this
Minister
Williams
Lake
has
been
delayed
by
this
Minister.
The
couch
and
Hospital
Mr
Speaker
was
supposed
to
actually
be
open
in
2024,
not
our
timeline.
This
government's
timeline
it's
in
pre-construction,
it's
nowhere
near
being
open
in
2024.
In
fact,
the
coaching
project
has
become
the
most
expensive
possible
project
of
its
kind
in
Canada.
E
Due
to
this
NDP
complete
bundling
of
the
project,
the
premier
can
simply
look
up
the
road
to
the
North
Island
hospitals
project
to
see
what
it
should
be.
We
built
two
state-of-the-art
hospitals
in
the
Comox
Valley
and
Campbell
River
for
600
million
dollars
on
time
on
budget
2.4
million
dollars
a
bit.
E
The
couch
and
Hospital
Mr
Speaker
is
now
three
times
that
dollar
value
and
I
know
the
minister
might
try
to
say
well
what,
with
inflation,
that's
still
over
twice
as
expensive
in
the
couch
and
hospital
right
now
than
other
hospitals
being
built
all
over
this
country
right
now,
complete
incompetence
by
this
government
again.
Will
the
premier
scrap
these
wasteful
Community
rip-off
agreements
that
cost
taxpayers
more
and
more
and
are
delivering
less
and
less
every
single
time.
C
Well,
honorable
speaker,
there
were
four
four
terms
of
liberal
government
and
four
times
the
Dawson
Creek
hospital
was
promised
and
four
times
they
failed
to
deliver
at
honorable
speaker.
We
are
delivering.
D
C
Concept
plan
sat
on
the
desk
of
a
previous
minister
of
Health,
not
me
honorable
speaker,
a
previous
minister
of
Health
honorable
speaker,
sat
on
their
desk
like
the
terrorist
Hospital
like
the
Dawson
Creek
Hospital.
We
are
proceeding
to
build
the
hospitals
of
the
future
in
BC
and
the
people
of
those
communities
support
that.
E
You
Mr
Speaker
once
again,
the
NDP
rhetoric
just
simply
doesn't
match
anywhere
near
the
actual
results
that
they
are
failing
to
provide
for
British
Columbians.
These
hospitals
are
all
delayed.
They're
all
delayed
couchin
was
announced
in
2018..
You
know
what
happened
in
five
years.
When
we
had
five
years,
we
built
two
hospitals
on
the
North
Island
on
time
and
on
budget,
and
they
were
open.
You
know:
what's
happened
under
this
NDP
government
and
couch
and
Mr
Speaker
after
five
years
during
pre-construction
and
850
million
dollars
over
budget.
E
That's
what
this
government
seems
to
think
is
progress.
On
time
and
on
budget
we
were
Abbotsford
Regional,
Hospital,
Jim,
Patterson
Pavilion
in
Surrey,
the
Penticton
Regional
Hospital
projects
in
Vernon,
Vancouver
Kelowna
I
could
keep
going
on,
but
we
won't
have
time
to
capture
them
all.
The
Comox,
Valley
and
Campbell
River
hospitals
alone
had
over
290
apprentices
that
were
working
on
the
project.
All
of
those
other
projects
had
apprentices
training.
All
of
those
other
projects
had
indigenous
people,
training
and
in
fact,
a
lot
of
those
projects
had
30
percent,
not
20
indigenous
participation.
E
In
contrast,
after
being
announced
five
years
ago,
the
couch
in
hospital
once
again
850
million
over
budget
on
an
original
600
million
dollar
budget.
This
is
strictly
a
decision
by
this
NDP
government
to
discriminate
against
the
85
percent
of
the
construction
workers,
and
it
is
simply
only
benefiting
their
19
hand,
chosen
unions
at
the
expense
of
unionized
and
non-unionized
workers
across
this
promise.
Province
again,
will
the
premier
end
this
wasteful
use
of
billions
of
tax
dollars?
C
Of
Health
well,
the
opposition,

They
announced
it
again
in

Promise
by
keeping

2015.
No

Honorable
speaker.
They
were
so
embarrassed
about
the
previous
six
announcements,
honorable
speaker
and
honorable
speaker
in
that
time.
Honorable
speaker,
it's
not
like
St
Paul's
Hospital
didn't
need
to
be
fixed.
Honorable
speaker,
it
was
one
of
the.
C
It
is,
of
course,
an
outstanding
Hospital
in
BC,
but
it
needed
to
be
done
in
2002,
They
delayed
for
16
years.
It
took
them
to
go
from
business
plan
to
pre-business
plan
stage.
That's
the
wrong
direction.
Honorable
speaker,
we
are
committed
when
we
build
major
projects.
Honorable
speaker,
we
could
they
wait.
A
second
they've
mentioned
Surrey
honorable
speaker
we're
building
the
office.
F
Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker,
currently
there's
a
proposal
to
expand
the
bamberton
Quarry
to
extract
nearly
500,
000
tons
annually
of
construction
aggregate,
toxic
soil
dump
and
the
expansion
of
a
provincial
foreshore
release
like
our
ancestors
I.
My
relatives
and
our
descendants
rely
on
the
sandwich
and
let
to
harvest
our
food
salmon.
Herring,
hearing
aids,
cod,
cod
egg,
Snapper
crab,
clams
mussels
prawns,
Ducks
oysters
sea
eggs,
urchins,
octopus,
seal
seaweed,
deer
and
many
other
species.
Mr
Speaker
in
1996,
the
bcndp
government
published
a
500
page
study
of
the
inlet
it
found.
F
The
Saanich
Inlet
is
a
highly
valued
place.
The
ascetic
cultural,
spiritual
and
environmental
values
have
been
diminished
or
degraded,
and
despite
the
degradation,
it
is
still
a
viable
ecological
system.
The
study
recommendations,
Mr
Speaker,
are
clear.
The
level
of
protection
must
be
based
on
the
most
sensitive
human
or
ecological
use.
The
precautionary
principle
must
be
applied
when
questions
or
gaps
in
information
occur
and
quote.
The
assimilative
capacity
must
not
be
viewed
as
a
pollute
up
to
level,
but
rather
as
a
tool
to
effectively
direct
protection
and
Remediation
efforts.
G
Thank
you
very
much,
honorable
speaker
and
I
want
to
thank
the
the
member
for
raising
the
issue
of
the
proposed
bamberton.
Quarry
expansion
and
I
also
want
to
thank
the
Santa
Channel
protection
Society
for
their
their
determination
to
ensure
that
all
issues
related
to
the
health
of
the
inlet
and
related
to
the
potential
expansion
of
the
Quarry
or
on
the
table.
G
As
the
as
the
member
knows,
the
Santa
Chinta
Inlet
protection
Society
made
an
application
to
the
environmental
assessment
office
to
consider
or
whether
this
proposed
Expansion
Project
should
be
subject
to
an
environmental
assessment.
The
eao
has
gone
out
of
its
way
to
hear
from
people.
It
has
in
fact
allowed
the
sanich
inlet
protection
Society
in
an
unprecedented
manner
to
participate
in
directly
and
having
a
voice
in
public
hearings
and
having
input
into
those
hearings.
G
There
has
been
a
period
of
time
set
aside
after
the
initial
report
for
public
comment
and
in
fact,
the
environmental
assessment
office
has
extended
that
public
comment
period
to
February
21st,
to
ensure
that
there
is
adequate
time
for
additional
public
input.
At
that
point,
the
result
of
all
of
the
input
and
all
of
the
knowledge
about
the
inlet
will
be
applied
to
the
determination
about
whether
an
environmental
assessment
should
be
ordered.
F
F
F
What
it
seems
like
is
that
this
process
is
just
an
enabler
of
the
extractive
industry
that
is
proposing
to
grind
away
a
sacred
Mountain
site
and
to
threaten
and
damage
all
of
the
food
sources
that
my
and
me,
and
my
relatives,
Harvest
and
feed
our
families
with
for
generations
and
that
we
are
standing
up
and
hoping
we
can
protect
for
generations
to
come.
Mr
Speaker-
and
it's
not
just
it's
not
just
this
situation-
that
the
minister
of
the
environment
has
turned
his
eye
away
from.
F
There
is
the
Heartland
Road
Landfill
that's
spreading
human
waste
on
the
top
as
a
cap,
that's
just
on
the
other
side
of
Mackenzie
bite,
another
place
where
we
Harvest
snapper
Mr
Speaker.
There's
a
there's:
a
proposal
to
build
a
highway,
not
beside
Gold
Stream,
where
we
Harvest
salmon,
but
Mr
Speaker
right
in
Gold,
Stream
question.
B
G
Minister,
thank
you
very
much
honorable
speaker
and
thank
you
again
to
the
member
for
the
question.
I'm
a
bit
surprised
that
the
member
believes
that
I'm
excusing
destruction
when
no
final
decision
has
been
made.
I
take
the
process
seriously
and
I.
Think
what
the
member
has
failed
to
recognize
is
that
when
we
Revitalize
the
environmental
assessment
act
in
2018
and
we
put
in
place
the
reviewable
projects
regulation
the
new
one,
we
included
a
provision
that
not
only
set
thresholds
to
trigger
assessments
for
new
projects
and
expansions
of
existing
ones.
G
But
we
put
in
place
a
mechanism
to
ensure
that
if
certain
projects
came
close
to
that
threshold,
they
had
to
notify
the
environmental
assessment
office.
So
consideration
could
be
given
as
to
whether
an
assessment
should
be
ordered
in
a
particular
specific
case.
That
is
exactly
the
process
that
we
are
undertaking
today,
and
that
is
a
process
that
we
take
very
seriously.
H
We'll
thank
you
honorable
speaker.
It's
truly
outrageous.
What
has
been
happening
under
the
CBA
ripoff
agreements,
they're,
dismissive
they're,
disrespectful
and
they're,
discriminatory,
couch
and
tribes
members
are
being
denied
the
ability
to
work
unimpeded
on
projects
located
within
their
traditional
territories,

that
they
donated

Ravenstone
construction
is
a
couch
and

member
who
says
he
wants
to
work
on
a
project
in
his
territory.
H
Without
NDP
government
discrimination
quote,
we
lost
any
opportunity
to
work
on
this
project
because
I'm
not
going
to
accept
losing
core
employees
and
having
my
business
dismantled
just
to
participate.
End
quote
your
honorable
speaker.
Will
the
premier
tell
indigenous
contractors
like
Dan,
Williams
and
John
Coleman,
who
are
joining
us
here
in
the
gallery
today?
H
C
Thank
you,
honorable,
speaker
and,
and
the
member
is
simply
not
factually
correct.
The.
In
fact,
honorable
speaker,
he'll
know,
the
very
high
level
of
indigenous
participation
on
this
project
demonstrates
the
commitment
of
the
CBA
to
ensuring
that
people
in
society
who
previously
have
not
had
a
sufficient
participation
in
government
projects
have
got
that
participation
honorable
speaker,
but
that
those
aren't
just
numbers.
On
a
little
speaker.
Last
week,
two
plumber,
plumbers
from
the
college
and
Nation,
started
work
on
the
hospital
project
they're
a
father
and
son,
and
that

C
I
Horrible
speaker,
I,
didn't
read
about
the
Discrimination,
this
discriminatory
nature
of
the
Indian
Act
in
a
book,
I
lived,
it
I,
try
to
fix
it,
and
now
we
find
in
the
21st
century
the
college
and
tribes
are
going
through
exactly
what
was.
First
nations
were
going
through
100
years
ago,
exclusion
and
discrimination
under
a
CBA,
but
it's
okay,
because
it's
legislation,
that's
what
the
internet
was.
I
I
I
I
I
C
Of
Health,
thank
you
very
much
honorable
speaker
and
to
the
member.
The
couch
and
Development
Corporation
is
now
eligible
for
bid
for
work
on
the
project.
Honorable
speaker
period
and
those
discussions
have
been
underway.
They've
been
underway,
for
example,
because
I
spoke
in
the
house
on
Wednesday
since
last
Thursday,
and
they
continue
now
honorable
speaker
and
no
honorable
speaker
as
I
said
then
as
I
say
now,
honorable
speaker
they're
eligible
to
bid
for
work
on
the
couch
and
Hospital
site
without
a
change
to
their
Workforce.
You
can't
be
more
straightforward
than
that.
C
Honorable
speaker,
that's
the
circumstance
and
we
have
a
project.
Well.
Honorable
speaker
did
last
Wednesday
We've
also
been
meeting
with
Chief
whitsam
with
the
kit
with
the
Development
Corporation,
and
that's
exactly
right.
Well,
honorable,
speaker,
I'm
sure,
honorable
speaker,
everyone
in
the
sound
of
my
voice
understands
what
that
means,
what
it
meant
last
Wednesday
and
what
it
means
now,
which
is
they
are
allowed
to
bid
on
the
project
and,
of
course,
work
on
the
project
below
to
change
their
Workforce.
J
Well,
Mr
Speaker.
This
Minister's
response
is
highly
disrespectful
to
the
college
and
tribes
whose
contractors
and
workers
continue
to
be
blocked
from
working
on
their
traditional
territory.
This
government's
in
position
of
its
discriminatory
CBA
regime
on
the
couch
and
Regional
Hospital
project,
with
no
consultation
with
the
Cowboys
and
tribes,
is
not
economic
reconciliation,
and
this
government
should
know
that
article
17
of
undrip
says
very
specifically
that
indigenous
peoples
have
the
right
not
to
be
subjected
to
any
discriminatory
conditions
of
Labor.
J
But
that
is
exactly
what
we
have
seen
under
the
discriminatory
CBA
regime
against
the
companies
and
workers
of
the
college
and
tribes,
including
John
Coleman
and
Dan
Williams
achieved
Lydia.
Whitson
said
on
the
weekend
quote
our
companies
and
their
workers
are
sitting
on
the
sidelines,
watching
the
clock
run
out
on
any
meaningful
participation.
End
quote
to
the
premier:
how
is
this
discrimination
against
indigenous
peoples
consistent
with
article
17
of
undrip.
C
Of
Health,
thank
you
very
much,
honorable
speaker
and
I'll
repeat
the
answer,
because
it's
important
that
these
questions
are
understood.
The
couch
and
Hospital
project
is
incredibly
important
to
the
people,
the
region,
to
all
people,
the
region,
including
the
couch
and
tribes.
We've
worked
together
with
all
the
parties
to
ensure
and
talk
through
the
challenges
and,
in
fact,
honorable
speaker
since
last
Thursday,
the
subcontractor.
That's
the
way
the
work
goes
on
a
big
project.
The
subcontractor
has
been
in
discussion.
Honorable
speaker.
C
Thank
you
thank
you,
honorable
speaker,
and
that
the
the
couch
and
Development
Corporation
is
now
eligible
to
bid
on
the
work
without
a
change
in
the
composition,
their
Workforce
is
fairly
straightforward
and
clear.
The
work
is
ongoing.
The
government
has
met
with
Chief
Whitson
on
this
very
question
and
so
I
I.
C
Think
honorable
speaker,
I,
would
say
as
well
honorable
speaker
that
this
project
is
of
central
importance
to
the
couch
and
tribes
is
currently
on-site,
having
a
significant
honorable
speaker,
participation
of
indigenous
people,
and
it
will
have
more
and
with
respect
to
the
college
and
Development
Corporation
they're,
going
to
have
every
right
to
bid
on
the
book
without
the
change,
without
a
change
of
the
workforce,
which
is
exactly
I.
Think
what
the
member
is
asking
for.
K
West
thanks
Mr
Speaker,
you
know,
I've
I've
listened
carefully
and
if
what
the
minister
was
saying
is
saying
was
true:
John
Coleman
wouldn't
be
sitting
here.
He'd
be
back
home
working
on
the
project.
K
I,
think
of
all
Mr
Speaker,
all
the
high-minded
statements
that
have
been
made
in
this
chamber
by
members
on
both
sides
about
undrip.
And
then,
when
you
look
at
this
college
in
hospital
Fiasco,
you
realize
how
little
things
have
changed.
Practically
I
spoke
with
the
Aboriginal
Gentleman
on
the
weekend.
Older
fella
he's
got
some
ancestral
connection
with
couch
and
he's
not
from
there,
and
he
used
the
term
that
the
member
for
skina
he
said
he
talked
about
the
lingering
colonialism.
K
K
K
K
To
the
premier,
will
he
stand
in
this
place
and
finally
recognize
what
these
CVA
rip-off
agreements
have
actually
become,
what
they're
actually
doing
they're
costing
British
Columbians
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars
more
than
they
should
for
these
important
projects
and
Mr
Speaker?
Will
he
recognize
that
they
are
making
a
mockery,
a
mockery
of
the
reconciliation
That
undrip
was
supposed
to
represent
in
British
Columbia.
L
Thank
you,
honorable
speaker,
and
thank
you
to
the
member
for
the
question.
I
think
it's
critically
important
that
this
government
is
building
a
new
hospital
in
Cowichan
hospital
was
built
in
1967.
L
and
it's
time
to
be
replaced,
but
I
think
the
core
of
the
members
question
is
when
you're
building
big
public
infrastructure
projects,
it's
it's
important,
that
you
build
them
of
course,
but
it's
also
important
how
you
build
them.
The
standards
you
build
them
to
talk
about
climate
change,
Environmental
Protection,
but
also
how
you
treat
the
people
and
who
gets
to
work
on
the
projects.
That
is
what
the
CBA
Agreements
are
about.
L
It's
about
making
sure
that
when
we
put
big
public
investments
into
major
infrastructure
that
people
who
haven't
had
access
to
apprenticeships
get
access
to
apprenticeships
if
they
get
to
build
skills,
training
opportunities
that
the
jobs
go
to
people
in
the
local
area-
and
you
know
I
I-
hope
that
now
that's
a
position
universally
shared
through
this
legislature.
The
question
just
how
do
we
get
to
that
now
for
Mr
Coleman?
L
It
is
a
fact
that
his
company
is
able
to
bid
on
the
project
without
changing
the
composition
of
the
workforce,
which
means,
in
other
words,
without
John
Union,
without
joining
a
union
okay.
But
it's
also
important
to
know
that
almost
20
percent
of
the
workers
on
the
site
are
First
Nations
workers
and
that
what's
been
happening.
Right
now
is
that
these
unions
have
been
out
in
community
training,
couch
and
workers
so
that
they're
able
to
work
skilled
trades
jobs
on
the
site.
L
The
Electrical
Workers
have
been
training
workers
of
the
couch
and
secondary
school
and
the
Duncan
RCMP
station
on
electrical
work,
so
they
can
start
as
soon
as
the
electrical
work
starts,
the
hospital
they
can
start
on
the
site.
The
sheet
metal
workers
has
been
in
the
community
training,
People,
couch
and
workers
in
sheet
metal
work.
So
as
soon
as
the
project
starts
doing
sheet
metal
work,
they
can
start
on
the
site
they're
getting
paid
right
now
in
the
training.
L
There's
rebar
training
that's
been
happening
in
the
community
and
and
more
than
a
dozen
people
have
already
been
offered
positions
working
on
the
hospital.
So
you
know
the
members
raise
really
important
points,
we're
working
on
this
as
a
government
and
it's
a
priority
for
us
and
I
I.
Think
it's
really
important
to
note
that
it's
now
a
priority
for
the
other
side
and
and
I
I
know,
there's
a
lot
of
there's
a
lot
of
important
concern
about
our
Province,
doing
a
good
job
on
reconciliation.
