SONIA FURSTENAU A commentary by the leader of the B.C. Green Party.
The April 20 editorial “In this election, Eby should be put to the test,” notes that the official Opposition “has an obligation, a responsibility, to provide cohesive policy alternatives in the next election” and then laments that “this is not happening in British Columbia today.”
B.C. Greens have been championing community health centres as a way to build an actual primary health-care system. Mental health is another area where the B.C. Greens have taken decisive action. Since 2020, we’ve championed the inclusion of six annual psychologist visits under the Medical Services Plan.
Our proposal to amend Bill 44, which sought to restrict Real Estate Investment Trusts from acquiring single-family homes, was regrettably defeated by NDP MLAs — a decision favouring investor profits over public need. The slow pace of rebuilding Lytton after the devastating 2021 fire, exacerbated by climate change, also reflects poorly on the government’s environmental commitments.
