As the Official Opposition, we plan to do what the NDP government should have done – consult with families about these changes and the impact it will have on them across the province. We want to continue the dialogue with those that didn't get a chance to share their story during our last session and invite you to join us.
This roundtable is an opportunity for families that will be impacted by the NDP’s policy decision to contribute to the discussion and help inform further advocacy on their behalf by the BC Liberal Caucus. It’s vital that there be a cross-section of participants from across the province as diversity is critical to a more comprehensive discussion.
Please share event details with those in your network that you feel would be interested in participating, contributing to the dialogue and finding a way forward.
