“I’ll say this about SOGI. I think that it has become an absolute lightning rod for division in our province, and it has become a challenge. And I think that many people are confused about what SOGI has become in our school.

I firmly believe that we have to repeal SOGI. Obviously we have to provide a safe place for our kids. Just like I said in Bridgeview yesterday, I went as a child to the Bridgeview Elementary School and felt safe.

We need to continue that tradition. But I do believe that SOGI has to be repealed.”

Repeal the act intended to bring BC into accordance with the United Nations' Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples

"[DRIPA] has not created the security for British Columbians that it was meant to achieve. We are in court everywhere in this province. So the reality is it (DRIPA) has to be repealed…The challenges we have faced with First Nations and working together have been, no question, a very serious challenge. DRIPA hasn’t helped that, sadly.

We need a genuine path forward. And trust me when I say this, I am committed to working with First Nations. I am committed to building these projects together with First Nations, for the benefit of all of us. And I want partnerships with First Nations.

We need to make everyone equally successful here. And equally, both in a number of different ways – financially, socially, in all respects – we have to work together with our First Nations. And trust me when I say this, I am very committed to that."
