Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
4th Session
42nd Parliament
C
You
Mr
Speaker.
For
years
this
NDP
government
has
tried
to
avoid
taking
any
responsibility
for
the
future
of
policing
in
Surrey
last
month.
Instead
of
providing
leadership,
they
simply
kicked
the
can
down
the
road.
Their
inaction
has
resulted
in
continued
uncertainty
and
now
skyrocketing
costs
for
the
citizens
of
Surrey
Surrey
residents
are
now
facing
the
biggest
tax
increase,
nearly
20
percent,
the
largest
tax
increase
in
the
history
of
that
City.
My
question
is
a
simple
one
to
the
premier.
When
will
he
finally
make
a
decision
on
the
future
of
policing
in
Surrey.
D
Thank
you,
honorable
speaker
and
I
thank
the
member
for
his
question.
As
the
member
is
well
aware,
the
city
of
Surrey
made
a
decision
some
four
years
ago
that
they
wanted
to
move
from
the
RCMP
model
of
policing
to
having
their
own
Police
Service.
That
is
their
right
to
do
that.
That
transition
was
underway.
D
At
the
last
election,
the
SE,
a
new
mayor
and
Council,
were
elected.
They
in
a
five
to
four
vote
said
they
wanted
to
return
back
to
the
RCMP
from
the
Surrey
Police
Service.
As
the
member
will
know,
the
transition
to
where
we
are
today
has
taken
the
better
heart
of
that
four-year
time.
It
meant
working
with
the
federal
government
and
working
with
the
RCMP
and
the
city
and
sorry
to
ensure
that
there
was
an
orderly
transition
in
place.
That
transition
was
about
halfway
through
the
city
of
Surrey,
now
wants
to
transition
back.
D
D
That's
the
responsibility
of
the
solicitor
general,
the
director
of
police
services,
subsequent
to
that
the
city
of
Surrey
worked
on
a
plan
on
how
they
sought.
They
saw
it
going
the
RCMP
also
provided
how
that
there
showed
how
that
they
would
restaff.
In
terms
of
the
the
going
back
to
the
the
RCMP
model,
we
received
that
information
just
before
Christmas
my
staff
have
been
working
hard
and
analyzing
that
they
identified
a
range
of
gaps
in
both
plans
that
needed
to
be
addressed.
D
We
have
just
received
the
responses
to
the
questions
and
the
concerns
we
had
from
the
city
of
Surrey
on
Thursday.
We
have
received
the
rcmp's
plan
in
terms
of
how
they
plan
to
restaff
that
work
is
being
analyzed
as
quickly
as
possible.
The
bottom
line
is
this:
member:
that
any
plan
has
to
ensure
safe
and
effective
and
adequate
policing.
If
it
doesn't
do
that,
it
cannot
be,
it
cannot
be
approved
that
work
is
underway,
I
want
it
done
as
quickly
as
possible.
C
Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker
and
the
minister
talks
about
his
responsibilities.
So,
let's,
let's
talk
about
the
ministry's
responsibility
in
August
of
2019,
the
guest
government
gave
a
green
light
to
the
Surrey
police
transition.
The
ministry
just
spoke
about
that.
At
that
time
the
project
was
approved
with
little
transparency,
numerous
unanswered
questions
and
an
uncertainty
about
true
costs.
C
Now
yesterday
the
minister
would
be
aware
of
this
mayor,
Brenda
Locke
said,
and
I
quote:
there
is
a
poison
pill
inside
of
that
contract.
That
says,
there
is
an
18-month
Severance
Clause
after
as
little
as
six
months
of
work.
Let
me
repeat
that
in
18-month
Severance
clause,
after
as
little
as
six
months
of
work,
this
Minister
must
have
known
about
that.
This
government,
this
Premier,
signed
off
on
it,
and
now
Surrey
residents
are
stuck
with
it.
D
Minister,
thank
you
honorable
speaker,
I
thank
the
man
for
the
question.
The
member
will
know
that
the
contracts
are
negotiated
between
the
the
police
board
and
and
the
City
of
Surrey
and
their
Police
Department
policing
is
a
local
government
responsibility.
Honorable
member
policing
is
a
local
government
responsibility.
D
Will
continue?
Thank
you,
honorable,
speaker
and,
and
the
key
in
this
whole
thing
and
I
notice
that,
when
this
whole
issue
came
about,
the
opposition's
view
was
very
clear
that
this
is
a
local
government
responsibility.
This
is
a
local
government
decision
and
it
is
our
decision
as
solicitor.
D
That
transition
has
been
well
underway
and
I'll
remind
the
member
of
what
his
own
leader
said
around
the
Surrey
transition,
which
was
that
he
will
work
hard
to
ensure
that
there's
a
smooth
and
successful
transition
for
surrey's
own
police
force,
and
that's
what
the
leader
of
the
opposition
said
and
I'll
repeat
for
the
member.
My
responsibility
is
to
ensure
that
if
Suri
goes
back
that
there's
a
safe
and
effective
plan,
the
city
of
Surrey
has
said
and
acknowledged
that,
though,.
B
D
Both
sides-
thank
you
honorable
speaker
as
I,
was
saying
the
the
transition.
My
responsibility
is
to
ensure
that
there
is
a
safe
and
effective
transition
that
ensures
safe
and
effective
policing
for
the
City
of
Surrey.
That
work
is
underway.
I
want
that
work
to
be
done
as
quickly
as
possible.
The
city
of
Surrey
wants
it
to
be
done
as
quickly
as
possible
and
I
know
the
residents
of
Surrey
want
it
to
be
done
as
quickly
as
possible.
The
city
of
Surrey
has
acknowledged,
but
those
costs
are
their
costs.
D
Honorable
speaker,
so,
honorable
member,
that
work
is
underway,
but
I
want
to
make
it
clear.
A
transition
has
to
ensure
safe
and
effective
policing
and,
as
a
former
solicitor
general,
you
should
know
that
that
is
the
key
priority.
That
is
the
key
priority
member.
You
may
not
think
that
any
certainly
do.
A
Question
I
can
assure
the
member
opposite.
The
debate
in
this
chamber
today
is
is
not
about
Public
Safety
that
we
agree
with.
We
agree
that
that
has
to
be
a
priority.
What
we
are
arguing
about
is
the
fact
that
this
Minister
studiously
avoided
answering
the
question,
and
he
feels
very
free
to
point
fingers
at
everybody
else
for
the
mess
that's
taking
place
in
Surrey.
A
Let's
be
clear,
this
is
a
total
mess
and
the
people
that
are
going
to
have
to
pay
for
this
government's
incompetence
and
delays
are
the
people
of
Surrey
a
nearly
20
percent
increase
in
their
taxes,
and
that
would
be
a
record
tax
hike
in
the
city
of
Surrey
every
single
day
that
this
Minister
delays
makes
the
decision
on
future
policing
in
Surrey.
It
only
serves
to
increase
anxiety
about
the
cost
to
Surrey
residents,
and
let's
talk
about
those
costs,
those
would
be
on
top
of
Sky
High
inflation
that
leads
to
the
country
again.
A
Today
they
have
the
high
highest
gas
prices,
the
highest
gas
tax
prices
in
North
America
and
the
highest
housing
prices
in
North
America.
Many
British
Columbians
are
at
the
breaking
point.
So
will
the
minister
get
up
and
give
us
a
specific
timeline,
especially
to
provide
relief
for
the
people
of
Surrey?
Will
he
fix
the
mess.
D
Thank
you
honorable
speaker.
Well,
I'll
disagree
with
the
the
member.
This
is
about
Public
Safety.
Honorable
speaker.
This
is
very
much.
D
If
it
was
just
about,
if
it
was
just
about
saying
yes,
your
plan
is
fine,
go
ahead
and
do
what
you
want
honorable
speaker,
but
it's
not.
This
is
about.
This-
is
about
ensuring
a
safe
transition,
both
forwards
and
backwards.
Honorable
speaker,
the
transition
forward
was
proceeding.
The
Council
made
a
decision
that
they
want
to
go
back
in
order
to
do
that,
they
have
to
put
in
place
a
proper
plan
that
ensures
safe
and
effective
policing.
D
A
Let's
be
clear,
the
minister
can't
have
it
both
ways.
He
talks
about
scrutinizing
a
plan
that
apparently
he
did
know
that
there
was
an
18-month
Severance
clause
in
that
contract.
Can't
have
it
both
ways.
The
minister
can't
do
that.
In
fact,
let's
be
clear,
this
mess
landed
on
his
desk.
He
said
clearly
that
the
government
approved
the
transition,
which
means
he
was
aware
that
there
was
an
18-month
Severance
clause
in
that
transition
plan,
after
potentially
as
little
as
six
months
work,
and
that
is
what's
driving
the
unbelievable
costs
that
Surrey
residents
May
face.
A
D
General,
thank
you
honorable
speaker.
The
contract
is
one
that's
negotiated
at
that
level.
Honorable
speaker,
I,
don't
sign
off
on
the
contract.
Honorable
speaker,
honorable
speaker,
honorable
speaker,
the
city
of
Surrey
voted
to
move
from
the
RCMP
Force
honorable
speaker,
two,
a
municipal
police
force
of
the
Surrey
Police
Service.
D
They
subsequently,
after
almost
three
years
of
a
transition,
decided
to
move
back
to
the
RCMP.
In
order
to
do
that.
D
Members.
In
order
to
do
that,
honorable
speaker,
there
has
to
be
a
plan
that
ensures
safe
and
effective
policing
within
the
the
the
the
the
contracts
that
the
Surrey
Police
Department
put
in
place
at
the
Syria.
The
city
of
Surrey
agreed
to
there
will
be
terms
of
employment.
Honorable
speaker,
just
as
there
are
for
every
other
police
department
in
the
in
this
province,
and
indeed
across
the
country
we
have
seen
the
RCMP
have
negotiated
a
contract.
That's
resulted
in
a
25
salary
increase
honorable
speaker,
this
added
significant
cost
of
policing
right
across
this
province.
D
D
E
Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker,
the
island,
Coastal
economic
trust,
was
capitalized
with
the
15
million
dollars
in
2006
by
the
former
BC
liberal
government.
This
BC
NDP
government
brought
in
bought
themselves
some
time
by
adding
10
million
dollars
to
that
in
2017.,
we've
seen
the
56
million
dollars
assist
in
the
member
communities
on
Vancouver
Island
and
the
Sunshine
Coast
attracting
upwards
of
about
250
million
dollars
into
new
investment
into
the
region.
E
Rural
communities
on
Vancouver
Island
and
on
the
coast
have
been
waiting
months
to
hear
whether
this
vital
economic
driver
for
the
region
will
be
a
priority
for
this
government
Mr
Speaker.
My
question
is
through
you
to
the
minister
of
jobs,
Economic,
Development
and
Innovation,
I
and
I.
Imagine
my
BC
NDP
colleagues
will
be
interested
to
know.
Will
the
minister
capitalize
the
recapitalize,
the
island,
Coastal
economic
trust
in
budget
2023.
F
Thank
you
to
the
member
for
the
question.
The
island
Coastal
economic
trust
has
played
a
very
important
role
in
stimulating
Economic
Development
throughout
Vancouver
Island
and
the
Sunshine
Coast
since
2006
and
building
resilient
communities
is
a
key
action
of
our
stronger
BC
economic
plan,
which
helps
move
BC
forward
by
tackling
the
challenges
of
today,
while
growing
an
economy
that
works
for
everyone
in
2018,
our
government
provided
an
additional
10
million
dollars
in
recapitalization
of
the
trust
to
ensure
it
continue
to
support
communities.
F
We've
also
provided
iced
tea,
with
almost
3.3
million
in
funding
through
two
rural
rounds
of
community
recovery
initiative
funding,
Mr
Speaker.
This
funding
has
supported
the
trust
to
hire
business
advisors,
to
help
diversify
local
economies
through
the
pandemic
and
help
mitigate
changes
in
the
forestry
sector.
Mr
Speaker
communities
in
Iced
Teas
region
are
also
able
to
apply
for
funding
through
our
new
33
million
dollar
Reddit
program
to
again
Drive
economic
diversification,
Mr
Speaker,
the
first
intake
just
closed
and
we're
very
excited
about.
E
It's
there's
500
000
people
in
this
region,
Mr
Speaker,
who
depend
on
this
trust
to
be
able
to
fund
important
projects
in
their
communities.
Our
local
government
colleagues
rely
on
this
These
funds
to
be
able
to
fund
local
projects
resilient
communities,
as
the
minister
framed
require
reliability
in
the
government
funding.
They
need
to
know
how
they're
going
to
be
able
to
plan.
E
Unfortunately,
according
to
the
ACT
iced,
tea
is
about
to
have
to
shutter
their
doors
because
because
their
funding
is
coming
to
an

Skinner
Mr
Speaker
Heisler
Cedar
LNG
is
one
of
the
largest
first
nations-led
infrastructure
project
in
Canadian
history,
with
the
potential
to
create
thousands
of
jobs
and
reduce
Global
emissions
by
replacing
coal-fired
power
in
Asia.
But
under
this
premium
the
project
has
been
trapped
in
political
Purgatory.
Since
last
November.
G
The
premier
is
afraid
to
even
talk
about
it,
he's
ashamed
of
our
natural
resources
and
LNG,
and
he
has
no
clear
explanation
or
timeline
for
a
decision
on
the
Heiser
Cedar
project.
So
a
simple
question
for
the
premier:
when
will
a
decision
be
made
so
Heisel
Cedar
LG
can
start
exporting
clean
and
ethical
LNG
to
the
world.
H
Thank
you
very
much
honorable
speaker
and
thank
you
to
the
member
for
the
question.
I'll
keep
my
answer
short
the
issue.
The
project
is
complicated.
It
has
a
number
of
features.
My
colleague,
the
minister
of
energy
minds
and
low
carbon
Innovation
and
I
are
the
decision
makers.
The
material
is
before
us
for
a
decision.
We
are
looking
at
it
thoroughly.
We
are
working
toward
a
decision
and
that
is
all
I
can
say.
G
G
G
First
Nations
are
doing
their
part
to
seize
opportunities
and
lift
their
people
from
poverty,
but
there
is
growing
frustration
over
the
premier's
delays
in
political
purgatory,
Chief
counselor,
Crystal
Smith
from
the
heisenation
said
last
month
and
I
quote
in
regard
to
the
approval
of
the
environmental
assessment.
It
has
definitely
been
frustrating
to
say
the
least,
end
cope
by
law.
The
deadline
for
this
government
to
decide
on
Cedar
OMG
was
45
days,
but
it's
been
over
100
Days,
with
no
clear
explanation
or
timeline.
G
H
H
B
I
I
This
Premier
knows
that
and
he's
failing
on
this
file
he's
failing
these
First
Nations
The
Minister's
answer
about
Cedar
LNG
is
just
another
example
about
how
this
government
is
failing
on
economic
exercise.
Relation
with
First
Nations
First
Nations
indigenous
peoples
want
to
be
full
Partners
in
the
economic
development
of
BC,
including
unclean
and
ethical
LNG
projects
like
Cedar
LNG.
I
I
Despite
a
legislative
deadline
of
45
days
for
a
decision
on
the
Tilbury
Marine
jetty,
this
government
has
remained
silent
and
this
Premier
sits
there
and
lets
that
Minister
stand
up
and
answer
the
questions.
This
has
been
a
delay
for
over
130
days.
When
will
the
premier
provide
answers
and
make
a
decision
that
respects
the
rights
of
First
Nations
to
pursue
Economic
Opportunity.
H
Of
environment,
thank
you
very
much,
honorable
speaker
and
once
again,
the
member
opposite
raises
an
issue
of
a
decision
under
the
environmental
assessment
act.
As
a
lawyer,
the
members
should
know
that
I
or
any
of
my
colleagues
are
very
limited
in
what
we
can
say
in
response
to
a
decision
that
is
currently
before
us.
But
what
I
will
say
is
we
take
economic
reconciliation
very
seriously?
We
take
the
rights
of
indigenous
peoples
very
seriously.
H
That's
why,
when
we
rewrote
the
environmental
assessment
act
in
2018,
we
put
in
a
provision
that
stated
if
there
were
nations
with
legitimate
interests,
who
did
not
give
consent
to
a
project
or
raised
concerns
that
we
would
meet
and
hear
from
those
Nations.
Despite
the
fact
that
Tilbury
Marine
Jetty
is
a
project
under
the
old
act,
because
that
is
our
commitment
in
the
new
act,
because
it
is
our
commitment
in
the
Declaration
on
the
rights
of
indigenous
peoples,
act
that
this
government
brought
in
that
every
member
of
this
house
voted
for
unanimously.
H
I
Mr
Speaker
nations
in
our
Province
are
asking
for
respect
and,
quite
frankly,
Minister
speaker.
That
answer
shows
a
real
lack
of
respect
for
the
Heisler
Nation
Anthony
musgrim
Indian
band.
They
are
looking
for
the
partnership
to
move
forward
with
major
economic
development
projects
like
Cedar,
LNG
and
Tilbury
LNG.
I
The
delays
and
lack
of
support
only
further
demonstrates
Mr
Speaker.
This
government's
failure
to
move
forward
with
economic
reconciliation-
yes
I
am
a
lawyer,
I
have
been
but
this
project
and
these
decisions
have
been
delayed
beyond
the
legislative
time
frames
of
45
days
a
hundred
days
and
counting
for
Cedar
LNG
130
days
and
counting
fertility
LNG
project.
I
She
wrote
a
fundraising
email
opposing
Tilbury,
LNG
and
said
quote:
this
is
just
the
beginning
of
our
fight
to
expose
LNG
for
what
it
truly
is.
Another
climate
catastrophe.
End
quote:
why
has
this
Premier
chosen
to
side
with
extremists
that
stand
out
Earth
over
the
Heisler
nation
and
the
Muslim
Indian
band.
H
You
very
much
honorable
speaker,
and
you
know
it
is
just
regrettable
that
the
member
opposite
is
choosing
to
label
anyone
who
disagrees
with
his
position
as
an
extremist.
That
is
not
how
we
have
dialogue
in
this
province.
H
I'm
I'm,
familiar
with
my
record
I'm
familiar
with
my
colleagues
records
and
I'm,
proud
of
all
of
them.
My
colleagues
and.
H
I,
honorable
speaker
are
proceeding
in
a
responsible,
thorough
manner
to
make
the
decisions
that
are
before
us
in
making
those
decisions
we
consider
environmental
impacts.
We
consider
our
commitments,
we
consider
economic
reconciliation
and
we
consider
the
Declaration
and
the
rights
of
indigenous
peoples
act
among
the
nations
with
whom
we
met
on
Tilbury
Marine
Jetty
were
the
musqueam.
J
Yeah,
thank
you
very
much.
Mr
Speaker.
Well,
the
words
of
the
minister
are
cold
comfort
to
First
Nations
and
indeed
to
the
thousands
of
hard-working
British
Columbians,
who
contribute
so
much
to
the
provincial
economy
and
put
food
on
the
table
for
their
families
through
the
hard
work
that
they
do
in
BC's
natural
resources
sectors.
It's
time
for
this
government
to
start
respecting
those
families.
J
And
I
would
suggest
that
that
doesn't
come
through
through
comments
like
attributable
to
the
attorney
general
that
were
just
right
into
the
record.
They
don't
come
from
comments
from
the
current
minister
of
of
Emergency
Management,
who
said
during
the
premier's
run
for
leadership
that
the
premier
would
quote
take
an
unambiguous
stance
against
LNG
end
quote.
J
They
don't
come
from
comments
made
it
during
the
throne
speech
from
the
premier
Zone
appointed
parliamentary
secretary
for
Rural
Development,
who
said
that
supporting
our
natural
resource
sector
was
and
I
quote
uninspiring
and
a
vision
for
what
rural
communities
were
a
hundred
years
ago,
Mr
Speaker
later
this
week
on
February
24th
to
be
exact,
it
will
have
been
one
year
since
the
Russian
invasion
of
Ukraine,
a
war
that
has
underscored
the
need
of
the
Western
World
to
stop
relying
on
oil
and
gas
sold
by
dictators
like
Vladimir
Putin
in
Germany.
J
Six
new
floating
LNG
regasification
terminals
are
expected
to
come
online
by
the
end
of
this
year,
and
growing
demand
for
LNG
is
forcing
countries
like
Japan
and
South
Korea
to
turn
to
Coal
power
plants
as
a
future.
Energy
source
BC
should
be
a
leader
in
providing
a
secure
source
of
clean
and
ethical
LNG,
reducing
emissions
in
Asia
by
50
and
Mr
Speaker.
We
have
everything
that
it
takes
for
this
to
be
the
case,
except
for
the
political
will.
J
The
premier
seems
to
be
more
interested
in
pandering
to
ideological
extremists,
saying
in
his
very
first
speech
as
Premier
and
I
quote,
we
cannot
continue
to
expand
fossil
fuel
infrastructure.
End
quote
so
my
Premier.
My
question
of
the
premiere
is
this:
why
isn't
the
premier
seizing
the
opportunity
to
support
support
our
allies
with
safe
transitional
fuels
like
LNG,
which
also
happened
to
promote
reconciliation
and
reduce
Global
emissions?
When
will
this
Premier
stand
up?
When
will
he
indicate
that
he's
going
to
approve
expeditiously
Heisler,
Cedar,
LNG,
Tilbury,
LNG
and
phase
two
of
LNG
Canada.
B
K
I
thank
the
members
on
the
other
side
for
the
questions.
These
are
important
projects
that
have
been
brought
forward
by
First
Nations
partners
and
they're
challenging
questions
for
British
Columbians.
Even
if
the
opposition
tends
or
not,
British
Columbians
are
seized.
With
the
issue
of
climate
change,
they
see
the
Smoky
Summers,
the
Wildfire
Seasons
that
have
destroyed
a
huge
portion
of
our
forest
base.
The
floods
that
we've
seen
through
atmospheric
Rivers,
the
heat,
Dome
and
LNG,
is,
let's
be
frank.
K
It's
a
fossil
fuel
that
contributes
in
part
to
global
climate
change,
and
so
we
have
brought
in
a
clean
BC
plan
with
clear
targets
for
carbon
emissions.
Projects
have
to
hit
those
targets.
We've
been
clear
about
LNG
targets
that
that
fossil
fuel
missions
generally
have
to
hit
our
carbon
pollution
targets.
K
These
are
not
simple
black
and
white
issues.
These
are
complex
issues
and
so
we'll
work
closely
with
Nations
on
economic
development,
we'll
work
closely
with
fossil
fuel
producers
around
LNG
to
ensure
we're
hitting
our
carbon
targets,
but
all
of
us
in
this
house
need
to
be
focused
as
well
on
the
fact
that
the
world
is
transitioning
rapidly
away
from
fossil
fuels
and
to
make
sure
that,
for
our
kids
and
for
the
future
of
our
economy,
BC
is
part
of
that
through
clean
hydrogen
through
our
clean
electricity
across
the
province.
These
are
huge
advantages.
K
We
have
critical
minerals,
getting
our
permit
times
down.
I
accept
the
critique
of
the
opposition
they
struggled
while
in
government
to
deal
with
this.
We're
going
to
take
it
on
permit
times
is
a
huge
issue
for
resource
proponents
that
need
to
get
those
critical
minerals
we're
proud
of
our
resource.
Industries.
You
see
our
work
on
Forestry
at
a
time
when
so
many
forests
burn
down
and
the
forests
aren't
available.
So
we're
going
to
do
that
work.
That's
why
we
have
one
of
the
lowest
unemployment
rates
in
Canada.
K
Small
business
job
growth,
we
have
the
highest
credit
rating
of
all
the
provinces
in
Canada.
Our
economy
came
back
faster
than
other
provinces
because
we
supported
people
and
natural
resources
are
part
of
that.
We're
going
to
continue
to
do
the
work
to
deliver
for
British
Columbians
we're
going
to
keep
building
the
strongest
economy
in
Canada
and
BC
will
be
a
leader
in
the
clean
energy
future
of
the
world.
