Last week it was great to join business leaders from across B.C. at the 2026 @bcchamberofcom AGM & Conference. Building What Matters is a reminder that strong communities & a strong economy go hand in hand. Thanks to Jen Riley & the BC Chamber team for a great event. #bcpoli

We have a lot of major projects in BC that are coming online. That’s why we're doubling our investment in skills training to $241 M to ensure more young people have the skills they need to seize these new opportunities. Great to see some progress as a results of these policies.

I’m honoured by the opportunity. Energy is one of the defining economic challenges of our time. B.C. has the talent, resources, and innovation to create jobs, grow our economy, and build a strong energy future.
NEW - @Dave_Eby appointed @G_Anderson1 as parliamentary secretary for energy. He moves from parliamentary secretary for transit.

Great tour of the John Horgan Dam and Generating Station which generates enough electricity to power the equivalent of 500,000 homes across B.C. Thanks to the skilled workers who keep it running. Exciting days ahead. #bcpoli #hydropower

Great visit with Mayor Danielle Veach and Council in Pouce Coupe. We discussed local priorities and the community’s incoming pedestrian-activated crosswalk. Naturally, that called for an Abbey Road photo. northernbeat.ca/opinion/gett… #bcpoli

Great to attend the Pacific Biological Station Open House in #Nanaimo the first public open house since 2008. Wonderful to see so many families and community members learning about the important research taking place on our coast and meeting the people behind it. #Science

Congratulations, @KerryLynneFindl on being elected the leader of the BC Conservative party. British Columbians are served by thoughtful debate, principled leadership, and a commitment to public service. I will work with anyone who is interested in putting people first.

As Her Excellency the Right Honourable Mary Simon concludes her service as Governor General, we thank her for a lifetime dedicated to Indigenous rights, reconciliation, and service to all Canadians. We’re honouring her work with $5 million to establish the Ajuinnata: The Mary Simon Catalyst for Mental Wellness and we’re matching every dollar up to $10 million that the Rideau Hall Foundation raises. Building on Mary Simon’s advocacy, this project will provide lifesaving counselling, culturally grounded services, and peer-led mental health care to Northern and Indigenous communities.

Yesterday, the Honourable Speaker Raj Chouhan hosted the first-ever event marking Jewish Heritage Month at the B.C. Legislature.   I was proud to stand with community leaders and members, and alongside elected representatives from across British Columbia, for this celebration of continuity and contribution.   The story of Jewish life in Western Canada is woven into the very fabric of British Columbia. It is a story defined by shared values and traditions, by diversity and by building — building bridges between communities and generations, and building institutions that uplift so many.   It is also a story filled with delicious food and beautiful music, which we enjoyed together in the Library Rotunda of the People’s House.   Thank you to Speaker @BCLegSpeaker, Rabbi Dan Moskovitz, Ezra Shanken, Jay Eidelman, Susan Mendelson, Cantor Shani Cohen, Kat Palmer, @ClaireRattee and everyone who joined this meaningful and joyful program.   #JewishHeritageMonth

Expert guidance is key as we update the B.C. Hydrogen Strategy. I toured and met with the team at @bchydro’s Powertech Labs in Surrey, where research, development & testing help bring breakthrough hydrogen technologies to market. #bcpoli #hydrogen

As B.C. updates our Hydrogen Strategy, I’m meeting with leaders across the province. B.C. has the clean power, talent, and innovation to lead in #hydrogen. Great to visit @UBC’s Smart Hydrogen Energy District, where solar and hydro help produce hydrogen through electrolysis.
