Candidate for Surrey-Fleetwood

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?

This candidate has spoken about this issue more than once. Each statement is shown with its own source.

Supports amending the HPOA with professional consultation, not full repeal.

  • Asked by the HPOA candidate questionnaire (Psychologists of BC for Ethical Care and Governance): "Will you commit to repealing the Health Professions and Occupations Act (HPOA) and replacing it with legislation, built with the professions and the public, that keeps politics out of health care?"
  • Commit to supporting amendments to the HPOA
  • Comprehensive consultations so professionals have a voice and a vote
“Based on my conversation with an Optometrist also impacted by the HOPA, I can commit to supporting amendments to the HPOA. Part of that process needs to involve comprehensive consultations to ensure professionals have a voice, and a vote at the table.”
