Candidate for Saanich South

In their own words

This candidate hasn’t listed a campaign website or social account with the Town. That says nothing about them as a candidate — it just means less of their material is published online for us to summarise.

Where they stand

Every candidate in this race is shown against the same 12 issues, in the same order, whether or not we’ve found something for each one. Why we do it this way.

Healthcare

Will there be a doctor, a hospital, and care when we need it?

Says governments neglect basic health services and pay more for the consequences down the road.

Says governments neglect basic services only to spend far more dealing with consequences later
Wants a province that recognizes people as its most critical asset and prioritizes health and well-being

“I see many people in our neighbourhoods facing challenges accessing housing, basic health care, necessary surgeries, and mental health supports," said Lapointe. "Our governments neglect these basic services, only to spend far more to deal with the consequences further down the road. I want to do what I can to ensure my grandchildren grow up in a province that recognizes people as our most critical asset and prioritizes their health and well-being.”

“As B.C.'s chief coroner for 13 years," said Lapointe, "I recognize that the toxic drug crisis will only be solved when politicians are willing to show leadership; when regulated alternatives are available, when voluntary treatment is available when people need it, and when people who use drugs have the same access to resources, medical care, housing, dignity and respect as anyone else.”
