If you’re seriously ill or injured, you shouldn’t have to worry about taking time off to get the treatment you need. We’re introducing 27 weeks of unpaid, job-protected medical leave, so you can have peace of mind knowing your job is safe while you recover.

This is good news as it’s a necessary precursor to expanding child care on school grounds. I’m very glad government has made this move.
Big news for B.C. families 💙 Today, I introduced legislation that will make it easier for school districts to offer #ChildCareOnSchoolGrounds — so parents can find quality care in the same safe, familiar places where their kids learn & grow. #ChildCareBC #BCSchools #BCKids

Students’ safety & well-being come first. Today’s proposed law will hold vaping companies accountable, keeping harmful substances out of kids’ hands & protecting their health and future. We will always stand up for students. #ProtectingStudents #bced

Thanks for sharing this important reflection and story about the importance of #ChildCareonSchoolGrounds @routledge_janet #bcpoli
My husband and I picked up our grandchildren from school when they were little because their parents were at work. We cherished this time with them. But most working parents don’t have this kind of back up. I support this legislation that will make back up more collective.

Most parents don’t work 9-3 and may end up scrambling to pick up their kids after school. We’ve introduced legislation that, if passed, would allow school districts to offer seamless child care before and after school, on school grounds.
