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

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.

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.
