Pat McCutcheon

Affordability
Public transit

I support fast, frequent and free bus service; this reduces traffic, greenhouse gas emissions, and reduces the cost of living.
Climate Change & the Environment
Forests and forestry
BC Greens's promise
We must end logging of old-growth forests and support forestry-revenue-dependant communities to create environmentally sustainable jobs.
Power generation
BC Greens's promises
I commit to bringing forward a private members bill to end fossil fuel subsidies.
BC Greens will end permitting for new fracking, phase out gas production, and reject any new LNG projects.

Equity in education means that every student receives a school issued laptop, for students in grade 6-12.
K-12 learning needs

We must equip teachers and students with the knowledge to keep pace with our rapidly changing digital world through digital literacy.
School nutrition

I support a universal school program to ensure equal access, high nutritional standards and strong collaboration with communities.
Student mental health
BC Greens's promise
We must expand access to school psychologists and increase the number of guidance counsellors.

I support regulated alternatives to toxic supply, cutting profit for organized crime and increased connection to health and social services
Family doctors and primary care

I will ensure that everyone has access to a Primary Health Care centre, offering timely and comprehensive care in once place.
Health staffing
BC Greens's promise
The province must support physicians with leases and administration so that physicians can focus on patient care.
Hospitals
BC Greens's promise
Our hospitals have been underfunded for too long; they are falling into disrepair. I will ensure they have the resources to re-open 24/7.
