Cracking down on extortion threats is a big priority for our government. Today I heard directly from business owners on their experiences dealing with this threat.
BC’s Extortion Task Force continues to make progress on these investigations. No one should feel unsafe in their home.

A key part of our #LookWest economic strategy is to diversify markets and create new opportunities.
We led the Canada-wide effort to break down trade barriers in Canada, making it easier for businesses to grow and thrive.
One agreement. One market. Unlimited opportunities.

This could threaten thousands of long-term renters and encourage bad faith evictions before next year’s FIFA World Cup.
Rents are down 10% partly because of these STR rules, but the BC Conservatives are trying to weaken and support repealing them entirely.
We won't let them.
