Wow were we ever impressed with the innovative thinking @VanFoodBank. CEO David Long talked about more fresh food and less waste (thanks to farmers tax credit). Perfectly good zucchinis, apples, and other food destined for the landfill end up feeding families instead.

Confirmed. Not good.
Three months in a row of declining employment in BC. A 0.3% increase in private sector employment over two years, while public sector employment grew by 11.8%. I'm not an economist like the staff at @BizCouncilBC, but I'm pretty sure this is not good.

A work stoppage at our major railways would significantly limit Canadians’ access to goods and products, driving up prices and exacerbating affordability challenges.

Advice letter to Treasury Board from External Committee is now posted. Regulatory excellence is a concept all governments in Canada should embrace. High protection with lower regulatory burden = more productivity = higher wages and more prosperity.

Thanks @SoniaFurstenau for coming to @BizCouncilBC for a wide-ranging discussion on everything from housing affordability and declining GDP per capita to processes around consultation. It was nice to meet you and geek out with you on some policy files!

Thumbs up for a fantastic week at the BC Natural Resources Forum in Prince George. Thank you to Mayor Simon Yu, @CityofPG, @BCNRF, and Chief Logan, and @C3AllianceCorp for creating such an exceptional opportunity to discuss the critical role resources play in creating prosperity.

On my way to Prince George for the #BCNaturalResourcesForum. Looking forward to connecting with friends and colleagues from across the province as we discuss shaping the future of the natural resource industry in BC—critical to BC’s prosperity. #BCNRF2024

That's sobering.
"a 10 percent hit to productivity in the oil and gas extraction sector shrinks Canada’s economy by approximately 1.2 percent. That’s equivalent to roughly $35 billion per year, or nearly $900 per person per year."

Simple ways to free up time and money for people can add up. Good job Nova Scotia.
If you could remove government red tape, what would be at the top of your list?.Keep in mind that the health, safety & well-being of people and the environment must be protected when red tape is reduced. Send us your ideas and help make a real difference.

Great to have @JonathanWNV meet with @BizCouncilBC members about last week's economic statement. Lots of focus on energy. We also shared a laugh about the Vancouver to Ottawa flight - too short for people to feel sorry for you but long enough that they should!

Congrats @selinarobinson & @AndrewMercierBC on Credentials Recognition Act. It's good policy to reduce #redtape irritants like requiring duplicative language tests. Nice to see BC lead the pack here. @CFIBNews this might be Golden Scissors worthy! .
