- 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?"
- Says the HPOA ended the College of Physicians' ability to regulate itself.
- Opposes the health minister having power to appoint the board and discipline physicians.
