With the recall of the Legislature to work through the budget, I have been in Victoria for the past six weeks getting a “crash course” on the internal workings of the government of British Columbia.
I am sure the press gallery has had a chuckle or two as the new MLAs (myself included) struggled to find our way around the historic Legislative buildings. We have been a bit overwhelmed by the responsibility now resting on our shoulders, but we are learning quickly and determined to work hard for our constituents.
The challenge for all of us is to accomplish positive change within the confines of the fiscally-responsible budget that the people of BC supported on May 14.
I am eager to get back into the beautiful Boundary-Similkameen riding and engage as many of you as possible, giving me the information I need to address your concerns. I am looking for at least three volunteers in every community to meet with me quarterly to discuss your local issues and keep me connected to your concerns.
Please contact my office at [email protected] if you are willing to participate in these discussions.
