BC Liberals join calls for vaccine rollout plan clarity

 

The BC Liberals are calling for increased clarity on John Horgan and the NDP government’s vaccination delivery plan for British Columbians following significant public confusion over the lack of details and specifics about the rollout.

“British Columbians are being given few details about how the COVID-19 vaccine rollout is meant to happen throughout our province. Other jurisdictions, like Alberta, have publicized specific timelines and laid out clear plans for who gets the vaccine and when,” said BC Liberal Health Critic Renee Merrifield.

“People are looking to this government for a detailed plan that answers important questions like how it is being distributed, what the timelines are, and why there are differences in health authorities. Everyone deserves more answers than what they’ve been getting from John Horgan and the NDP so far.”


The lack of details in the province’s current vaccination plan has created confusion about when vaccination will begin in the wider population, how it will be tracked, and how it will be delivered.

“Right now, you have people on the frontline, including teachers and first responders, who are still in the dark as to whether they will be a priority group to receive the vaccine and when that would even occur. It’s unacceptable to have this level of uncertainty at this stage,” added BC Liberal Education Critic Jackie Tegart.

“People here in B.C. have high expectations from this government to deliver the vaccine but the current NDP plan leaves British Columbians with more questions than answers.”


As of today, British Columbia’s publicly available plan for vaccine distribution still consists of a single webpage on the BC Centre for Disease Control’s website.

The NDP is destroying BC's softwood industry as 100 Mile House mill shuts down and jobs vanish

No more than a few days after the province hosted its much-touted summit to discuss the continuing impact of U.S. softwood tariffs, and with Statistics Canada reporting another decline in BC’s softwood production, the axe has fallen on West Fraser Timber’s 100 Mile House mill. Lorne Doerkson, MLA for Cariboo–Chilcotin , says the devastation now hitting the South Cariboo is what happens when government ignores every warning sign coming from the forest sector. “One hundred and sixty-five people in 100 Mile House just lost their jobs,” said Doerkson. “That’s 165 families wondering how they’ll pay their bills and whether they can stay in their own community. The ripple effect will hit every business on main street, from the gas stations and restaurants to the grocery stores.” “The Minister’s thoughts and prayers aren’t enough for those families facing unimaginable hardship. It’s time this minister did his job and not another photo op,” said Doerkson. “The Minister thinks the ...

Premier’s Office Acknowledges Richmond Residents Affected by Cowichan Land Claim Face Issues on “Mortgages, Property Sales”

“The Premier’s Office is secretly sending letters to my constituents behind my back. If the NDP were truly committed to transparency and supporting residents, they would have proactively engaged with owners years ago, not rushed out last-minute letters to cover their tracks.” ~~ Steve Kooner, Conservative MLA for Richmond-Queensborough and Opposition Critic for Attorney General Steve Kooner, Conservative MLA for Richmond-Queensborough and Opposition Critic for Attorney General, is criticising Premier David Eby and the NDP provincial government for secretly delivering non-committal, last-minute letters to Richmond residents affected by the Cowichan Tribes land claim. For over six years the NDP misled British Columbians on the implications of indigenous land claims. Premier Eby is now quietly sending staff to conduct damage control following public fallout from his 2019 strategic directive for government lawyers not to argue extinguishment of aboriginal title, even over p...

A Kamloops woman’s cancer screening appointment was considered urgent by her doctors and scheduled within weeks, but it was postponed indefinitely when Interior Health ordered her gynecologist take that day’s on-call shift.
