Two years into the pandemic and the NDP still can't effectively deliver urgently-needed relief support to B.C. businesses. As businesses are being told to brace for major staff shortages and disruptions, the NDP continues to be missing in action. #bcpoli

Met with residents from Monte Lake and Paxton Valley areas hit hard by White Rock Lake fire. Gut wrenching to hear their experiences, learn of their needs, see their burned down homes and take in the blackened, scorched landscape. We will support them in every way we can. #bcpoli

Sadly the North will continue to struggle under policies you are creating. Combined with inaction by govt!! Rural BC is struggling - comments like this show just how disconnected this NDP government is!

Actually Min. @BrendaBaileyBC the north won’t be fine under the direction your government is taking us! Family jobs are being threatened everyday while affordability challenges are skyrocketing! Your policies are forcing businesses to closed and companies to move! #bcpoli

A very sad day indeed! The government has been warned of the challenging circumstances facing this industry! Helpful solutions have been presented less burning of fibre,better use of fire ravaged forests etc. Thoughts are with everyone involved in this devastating announcement.

This closure is outrageous!! There is much to do in this legislature!! 2 very serious bills to be debated and much other work!! If this is the first example of how the next premier intends to control this house - we should all be concerned!!!

Since when does a swearing in require the closure of the legislature? Maybe take a look at the health bill of 645 clauses and also the very legislation that was introduced and celebrated in the House yesterday,so the rest of the elected MLAs just got told that work doesn’t matter

So who gets them first? And how will that be decided? With temperatures rising now and a hot summer forecast, surely to goodness this could have been rolled out in the spring to allow for the protection people need this summer? How many will actually be distributed this summer?

Agreed!!! Complete incompetence!! The many businesses that have been affected in Cariboo-Chilcotin will maybe….. maybe qualify for half of the available funding - sadly most will get $2000! That doesn’t cover January rent!!! Lets get proper funding in place for these businesses
