THE CANADIAN PRESS/Darryl Dyck, News COVID-19 payments up to $1,000 per household. As part of our 10-year Homes For BC plan, we’re well on the road to building 114,000 affordable rental and supportive homes for people, we’re fixing up BC’s existing stock of social housing, and through our Speculation and Vacancy tax – which the BC Liberals would eliminate – we’ve turned thousands of empty units into new rental homes. We’ve accomplished a lot in three years, but coming on the heels of 16 years of neglect, there’s more to do to fix health care in our province – and then make it work even better for you. Greens call for $1B mental health program, VIDEO: Abbotsford woman records unusual object in the sky, Langley all-candidates Zoom debate hijacked with lewd comments, sexual acts, Halloween in Surrey: How COVID nearly derailed the train at Bear Creek Park, New urgent/primary care centre in Surrey aimed at new Canadians, Guildford residents, New trial ordered for woman accused of sexually assaulting teen in Surrey, Former Cloverdale youth pastor sentenced to two years in jail for sexual assault. We started to fix things by tackling the biggest problem our government encountered in its first term: the mess created by the BC Liberals at ICBC. Before COVID-19 hit, we had begun fixing all the problems created through years of the BC Liberals working for people at the top while making you pay the price. “By bringing down costs for developers, we can bring down the cost of housing for people,” reads the platform. In a province with a good economy, we’re fortunate that so many have been able to navigate their way through the financial impacts. The transition for individuals who are ready for independent living from supportive housing will be assisted by new rent supplements. We’ve also expanded transit options for people, brought down the cost of electric vehicles through CleanBC rebates, and created a made-in-BC bus solution when Greyhound ceased service for people in the north. That means: In three years, John Horgan and the NDP have begun to turn the corner – with better, more affordable public health care where people are treated faster. For renters, there will be rent freezes through the end of 2021 and a permanent cap on increases to the rate of inflation from 2022 onwards. While condoms can be easily found for little or no cost, and vasectomies are covered under MSP, prescription contraception is not covered. If 2020 has shown us anything, it’s the positive strides our province can take when we all work together. The Liberals were using ICBC as their private ATM, draining more than a billion dollars out of the corporation to make their provincial budgets look better – money that should have been given back to drivers. We will make sure these critical supports remain available through the duration of the pandemic, and we will not hesitate to expand or enhance them as further needs are identified. We will develop a precarious work and gig economy strategy focused on: The strategy will be developed in partnership with labour and business organizations, and will reflect the diverse needs and unique situations of modern workplaces. That’s why our CleanBC strategy – launched in 2018 to tackle climate change – is so critical to the future of our province and our planet. Over its first three years, John Horgan’s NDP government worked to build more homes, make them more affordable whether you own or rent, make your neighbourhoods safer and healthier, and create improved access to the public services you need to truly make your community a home. Three years ago, families already hit with high housing and other monthly costs were in a bind – they needed two incomes to keep their families safe and healthy, but they either couldn’t find or afford the child care needed for both parents to be working. Working together with communities, resource industries, First Nations, and workers, we can revitalize resource communities, get more value from our resources, and create a path to a better future. Building on the start we’ve made, we will: As part of our 10-year Pathway to Hope mental health plan, we will: All of this is saving many British Columbians thousands of dollars a year. “We believe this puts the stimulus in the hands of the people who need it the most.”. Property tax cuts, deferred tax payments, BC Hydro rate relief and more for businesses across the province. Daily Hive is a Canadian-born online news source, established in 2008, that creates compelling, hyperlocal content. And with CleanBC on its path to creating a more sustainable, clean-energy future, we’ll keep investing in BC’s unique natural heritage: One of the proudest moments of our government’s first three years in office came in late 2019, when BC became the first province to enshrine the United Nations’ Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) in law. BC Together: Fighting a Pandemic. We’ve made a good start, and we’re ready to keep making life more affordable and secure for everyone in BC. More than it already was, it became a place of safety, of recovery, and for many of us an often-chaotic mix of work, play, child care and much more. We'll be in touch soon. The BC NDP will target multiple areas to improve housing affordability, according to the party’s released comprehensive platform this morning. The suddenness of COVID-19 has made all of us appreciate the idea of home more than ever. More teachers. Closer care – through building new hospitals and additions, more community-based Urgent Primary Care Centres, and more e-health and tele-health services – allowing you to get the care you need in your community and even your home. Our government moved further down that path in September when we launched StrongerBC, our economic recovery plan that delivers key targeted investments aimed at helping people get back to work, businesses to hire and grow, and communities to begin moving forward again – building an economy for the public good. With your support, we can continue to move BC forward – investing in people, and delivering the programs and services that matter most to you. More education assistants. Through unprecedented health risks, financial pressures and, sadly for too many, the heartbreak of losing someone close, people have put their family, neighbours, community and province first. With your support, we can continue to fix the problems created by 16 years of BC Liberal neglect and move BC forward – investing in people and delivering the programs and services that matter most to you. A new 10-year housing plan also plans to stimulate 114,000 new, affordable homes, including tens of thousands of new homes for middle-income families generated by low-interest loans to non-profit and co-op housing providers. And wherever you live, it’s about helping bring housing to those who are homeless in British Columbia and taking care of the people in our communities. Now we’re moving to exceed that standard, and deliver better care to seniors in BC. Have a look at what our economic plan will bring to British Columbia. We are committed to building on our record by: Safe neighbourhoods and communities can mean different things to different people. Business groups have been saying for months that they need to survive long enough to receive them. NDP leader John Horgan released his full platform for the Oct. 24 B.C. The BC Liberals couldn’t understand that dilemma when they were government, and they haven’t seemed to learn since then – with one of their MLAs calling child care “harmful” to children and suggesting that mothers just stay home with the kids.
