Mill closures, drought, climate change, tariffs, and wildfires have shaken workers and families, and devastated towns and ecosystems. BC’s forestry industry cannot continue to function the way it has, and we cannot risk another short-term fix.

North Saanich urgently needs affordable housing, and I hope the special advisor delivers real results. I’m encouraged by the municipality’s willingness to work with the province to increase housing supply. This advisor creates an opportunity for faster input and better outcomes—but it must deliver.
Rob Botterell, MLA for Saanich North and the Islands, says he is supporting the appointment of a new provincial housing advisor in North Saanich by hosting an affordable housing forum in February to hear directly from residents affected by housing decisions

BC Greens MLA @jervaler.bsky.social spent a huge amount of 2025 bringing provincial, municipal and First Nations governments together to bring regional transit to Sea-to-Sky. It was promised in our 2025 Accord with the BC NDP.

We aren't quitting yet. Not even close.

The Minister says it is the government’s job to ensure projects reach a final investment decision. In doing so, he is overcommitting BC to an LNG industry that is teetering on the edge of obsolescence -- major investors are actively exploring options to sell their stakes in LNG Canada.

“BC’s climate progress, as outlined in this report, echoes much of the work the BC Greens have long argued for. The failing grades show that implementing the CleanBC review recommendations are the bare minimum, and so much more needs to be done," said Valeriote.
