BC needs a more competitive economy that attracts investment, backs local businesses and creates good-paying jobs. Our platform cuts taxes, cuts unnecessary red tape and speeds up government approvals. Delta’s industrial, agricultural and commercial sectors face their own pressures, and we’ll work with local businesses to find ways to lower costs and grow.

Kuldeep Rangi | CentreBC

Running a business in Delta shouldn't mean waiting months for the province to get back to you. CentreBC will cut provincial red tape by 25% by 2030. After that, for every new rule, an old one has to go. By the end of 2028, you'll be able to apply for business permits and licences in one place online. Simple provincial permits will get an answer within 90 days, or they'll be approved automatically. Bigger projects will get a decision within 12 months. We'll also help with costs. Businesses hurt by US tariffs will pay half the Employer Health Tax for two years. We'll take the PST off more equipment and repair parts, and give a bigger tax credit to companies that invest in research. And we'll train more workers, with 3,500 more training and apprenticeship spots a year by 2028, so local employers can find the people they need. I would advocate for simpler regulations, transparent decision-making and more efficient government services while maintaining appropriate environmental and public-safety protections. Our goal must be a competitive business environment that encourages responsible growth while protecting essential public services through fiscal responsibility.

The BC NDP announced direct financial relief tor any small business that is affected by U.S. tariffs, they will be eligible for interest free loans up to $1 million. To help employers and young people the NDP will provide a hiring incentive that will offer a $5000 refundable tax credit for small businesses that hire a young person aged (18-30) for a 12 month period. To help businesses find new markets the ND? will offer enhanced market research grants, help support businesses diversify supply chains to buy Canadian and sell their products to new markets. The BC NDP also included a 15% refundable tax credit for eligible manufacturing and processing investments, in buildings, machinery, and equipment in the 2026 budget. When you combine this with a $400 million strategic investment account to support opportunities for private sector growth. All businesses in Delta will be able to take advantage of these programs. Farmers needing new equipment or buildings, to manufacturers in Tilbury who need to modernize their equipment to increase productivity. As your MLA I will be in the best position to support to and assist with accessing these loans.

Jim McMurtry | One BC

Essentially every industry in B.C. is being burdened by excessive regulations. The Conservative Party of B.C. is committed to reducing regulatory barriers and will introduce a 120 Day Permitting Act for major projects to accelerate investment. Regulatory bodies need clear and firm timelines so investors can know what to expect and businesses and projects don’t remain stuck in limbo like so many are now. The Conservatives would appoint a Minister for Red Tape Reduction, and cut red tape back to 2017 levels by the end of a first term through a “one it, two out” red tape reduction law. Additionally, the Conservatives are committed to introducing no new taxes, and will put an end to the NDP tax hikes that are driving up businesses’ operating costs.

Reliable transportation connects workers to jobs, and Delta’s economy depends on it. Shift workers and employees in industrial and agricultural areas often don’t have transit that fits their hours. We’ll work with the City of Delta, TransLink, employers and others to find the service gaps and make improvements that match local demand and available resources.

Kuldeep Rangi | CentreBC

Shift workers keep Delta running, and they need a bus that runs when they do. CentreBC will work with TransLink to add 15% more transit service by 2030. I'll push for some of that to come to Delta's industrial areas, the port and our farms, with buses early in the morning, late at night and on weekends. We'll also add about six new rapid bus lines and look at rapid transit South of the Fraser. I want Delta at that table from day one. And we'll make transit cheaper. With our new BC Commuter Credit, you'll get 15% back on monthly and yearly transit passes.

As someone who works as a bus driver in this community, I have driven workers to and from work in Tilbury, to the TFN, to Boundary Bay and everywhere in South Delta. I can understand their issues. Public transportation as a whole is underfunded, and to rectify workers concerns, funding would have to be increased. Specifically the biggest issue that transit users face is the ability to make efficient transfers throughout the system to get to and from work. Time after time transit users pull into the Ladner Transit Exchange only to see their bus leaving, and now having to wait an additional 15-30 minutes to catch their connecting bus to get them home or to work. These commuters are irritated even more because there is no public washroom for them to use. I would work with Translink to ensure there are guaranteed transfers for commuters. I would work with the City of Delta to improve the Ladner Exchange to include washrooms for the public and increase the size of the loop so that there is enough capacity for the buses. Thus ensuring buses can wait for the transfers to arrive and make their commute more efficient.

Jim McMurtry | One BC

OneBC wants to create a more prosperous society and good transportation is required.

Ian Paton | Conservative Party

The most important transportation improvement for Delta is the George Massey tunnel replacement crossing, and the Conservatives will fix the mess that the NDP has caused. The Conservative plan to raise the basic personal tax exemption to $32,000, which will mean that someone working full-time at minimum wage will pay no income tax, will also be a major help for shift workers’ commuting costs.

Families, workers and employers across the Lower Mainland are struggling with housing costs. Our platform lowers the cost of building homes, speeds up approvals and gets more supply built. That means a range of options, including rental, ownership and missing-middle housing, shaped by local needs and built in partnership with municipalities, builders and communities.

Kuldeep Rangi | CentreBC

We hear it from Delta employers all the time: good workers can't find a place to live nearby. CentreBC's plan is simple. Build more homes, and build them faster. By 2028, cities will have six months to decide on a rezoning and eight weeks for a building permit. If they miss the deadline, the builder gets their fees back. Cities that keep up will get extra money from the province to help pay for roads, water and sewers. For renters, we'll cut development fees in half on new rental and below-market homes, and take the PST off building materials for new rental buildings. We'll also raise the renter's tax credit from $400 to $600 a year. For people who want to buy, we'll double BC Builds to 20,000 homes that rent or sell below market by 2031. Faster approvals and lower fees will also help get more townhouses and small apartment buildings built. I'll work with Delta council so new homes come with the services a neighbourhood needs.

To achieve affordable housing that meets the needs of health-care staff, tradespeople, young families and others who are essential to Delta's economy, we need to see BC Housing build more below market rental housing. This can be achieved through partnerships with municipalities, non-profits and private developers to increase the rental supply. Building new cooperative housing developments is an idea that can be explored further giving moderate and lower income families access to affordable housing. This work can be done with the City of Delta, local employers and non-profits to identify where rental housing is most needed. Ensuring it is close to work and public transit, with government support to make rents affordable. To help people attain home ownership we need to encourage smaller and more affordable homes. This can be done by increasing the supply of townhomes, duplexes and other options that are more affordable when compared to a detached home. The South Lands development is a prime example of how this model can achieve positive results for our community. We can also encourage secondary suites in existing homes to create additional rental opportunities, while helping first time buyers to be able to afford detached homes.

Jim McMurtry | One BC

Whatever the government can do without burdening future generations with a mountain of debt.

Ian Paton | Conservative Party

A Conservative government will lower the costs of building new homes by reducing taxes and red tape. Quicker, more predictable approvals processes will ensure homes get built faster and more affordably. The NDP’s PST expansion, which would drive up housing costs by hiking taxes on architectural, engineering, and geoscience services, has been paused ahead of the election, but not cancelled. The provincial government must eliminate barriers like these to getting housing built. At the same time, the provincial government should not be dictating terms to municipalities. Locally developed plans should guide where density in Delta goes, with provincial policies unlocking more affordable homes without enforcing how new housing in Delta will be built.

We’ve committed to replacing the George Massey Tunnel with a new 10-lane bridge instead of the NDP’s proposed eight-lane immersed-tube tunnel.

The current tunnel is a major bottleneck for commuters, commercial vehicles and goods movement, and people have waited far too long for a solution. We’ll review the existing project’s costs, contracts and construction arrangements to find the most responsible and timely path to delivering the bridge, with a focus on value for taxpayers, minimal disruption and better movement of people and goods. Getting it built is what strong leadership for serious times looks like.

Kuldeep Rangi | CentreBC

The tunnel matters to everyone who lives, works or ships goods through Delta, and CentreBC is committed to getting it built. It's one of the top projects in our transportation plan. We'll also keep a close eye on the cost. Under our plan, every big public project gets an independent cost check before money is spent. If the cost goes up by more than 10%, the government has to tell the public why. We'll also post a public scorecard every three months so people can see how things are going. For the tunnel, I'll push for a clear schedule, regular updates on progress and cost, and a plan to keep traffic
moving while it's being built. Delta has waited a long time for this. People deserve straight answers on when it will be done and what it will cost, and I'll keep asking until we get them.

This issue is one that I put directlyto David Eby. I told him that our community is tired of this ongoing saga. His response was that the project will continue with the preparatory phase, utility relocations, site investigations, environmental review and with major construction beginning in 2027. The government foresaw that by having a single conglomerate acting as a general contractor was going to raise costs artificially, by awarding ot contracts without a competitive bidding process. This was unacceptable. The NDP will ensure that costs can be controlled through a competitive bidding process and with help from the Federal government the project is expected to be completed sometime in 2031. During the construction there will be coordinated traffic management with Delta, Translink and emergency services. There Will be advance notices 01 major traffic changes so that there Will be reliable access for local businesses, agricultural shipments and the general public. Lastly, communicate with us on a regular basis so that we are aware Of the progress, and it there are changes to the costs and what corrective action can be taken.

Jim McMurtry | One BC

I would support what experts advise.

Ian Paton | Conservative Party

The B.C. government needs to take the tunnel replacement project as seriously as Delta residents do. If the NDP hadn’t cancelled the replacement bridge after work had already started on it, it would have been done by now, and for far cheaper than the current estimates for the new tunnel. Now, almost a decade after the NDP cancelled the bridge, and after many millions of taxpayer money has been spent, we are back to square one with no contract in place for the replacement project, and Delta residents are still stuck in traffic. It is clear that the NDP cannot be trusted to replace the tunnel. I have consistently called for urgent action on the tunnel replacement project, and a Conservative government would be committed to delivering a high-capacity replacement crossing as soon as possible and putting an end to the ballooning costs.

Roberts Bank Terminal 2 is a significant opportunity to strengthen Canada’s trade infrastructure and grow the economy. Environmental concerns, transportation impacts and the interests of nearby communities still need to be addressed.

Major projects need real engagement with local governments, First Nations, businesses and residents. Within provincial jurisdiction, we’ll work with partners on local infrastructure needs and make sure Delta’s concerns are heard as the project moves ahead.

Kuldeep Rangi | CentreBC

Terminal 2 is a federal project, but the province still has a big role in what happens around it, and Delta needs a seat at the table. CentreBC will put $750 million into roads and rail for trade over five years, and ask Ottawa to add $1.5 billion more. I'll push for some of that to go to the roads and rail around Roberts Bank, so more trucks and trains don't mean more traffic jams in Delta. I'll also push for real benefits for our community, like local jobs and training, and regular public updates on traffic, noise and the environment.

I envision a three part solution;

1. Environmental protection: ensure that there is scientific monitoring of the Fraser River estuary habit, for migratory birds, salmon, and the Southern Resident killer whales.
2. Delta farmland: protect the ALR land, and work with farmers to monitor drainage, irrigation and Other potential impacts to their business.
3. Ensure that all stakeholders are involved in the process, including the City of Delta, the TEN, farmers, the Vancouver Fraser port Authority and the federal government. By working together we can identify and fund the necessary improvements for road, railways, and apply a coordinated construction schedule so that local infrastructure keeps pace with port growth.

This would lead to a framework that would that we would see community benefits such as local infrastructure improvements, environmental restoration, workforce training and employment opportunities right here in Delta.

Jim McMurtry | One BC

Ian Paton | Conservative Party

As Canada’s trade gateway to the Pacific, Delta plays an outsized role in the national economy. Roberts Bank Terminal 2 is critical to getting Canadian products to new markets. With Delta playing such an important role in the Canadian economy, I will continue to advocate for Delta to receive the community infrastructure investments that match its strategic importance. I support trade and the good-paying jobs that Terminal 2 will bring.

Responsible resource and energy development can make BC an energy superpower. Our platform supports expanding energy infrastructure, attracting private investment and getting major projects built.

Proposals should be judged on their economic merits, environmental requirements, safety and community impacts, with real engagement with First Nations and affected local governments. Communities like Delta have a legitimate stake in how energy infrastructure is planned, operated and managed.

Kuldeep Rangi | CentreBC

Any big energy project should create good jobs, respect First Nations, protect the environment and get a clear yes or no from the government without years of waiting. CentreBC will make that process faster and simpler, with one review and a decision within 12 months. First Nations will still be consulted, and we want them to be owners, not just partners. We'll support LNG projects that have First Nations partners and a real plan to be net-zero ready. Any new pipeline would be judged the same way: Does it help British Columbians? Does it have First Nations support? Is it safe for the environment? And have communities like Delta had their say?

Todd Schierling | BC NDP

Skadi Green | BC Green Party

Jason McCormick | BC NDP

This question is very simitar to the last question. There has been a proposal to have a pipeline to the Roberts Bank project. So to further my previous answer rigorous environmental assessment would have to be included, just like the 370 legally binding environmental conditions for the Port expansion. As well as a emergency response, spill prevention and clean-up plans. There would have to be adequate opportunities for the TFN to participate in decisions and how they can share in the economic benefits and have a role in environmental stewardship. For farmers we need to minimize the loss of agricultural land and consult with all stake holders before finalizing the route. The community would see economic benefits, through improved infrastructure, training and employment opportunities.

Jim McMurtry | One BC

I would support what experts advise.

Ian Paton | Conservative Party

I support further pipeline expansion, including the Pacific Link Pipeline, because B.C. needs pipelines in order to get its economy back on track. It makes no sense to squander a major economic opportunity and not open up new markets in Asia just so Canada can keep selling oil to the United States at a discounted rate. Amidst global crises, the world is demanding reliable suppliers, and this is B.C.’s opportunity to become an energy superpower. Energy projects will create good-paying jobs for many British Columbians, and with the provincial government in such a poor fiscal state, energy royalties are crucial to allowing B.C. to fund the projects and services that British Columbians rely on. A Conservative government would work with Indigenous communities and municipalities to make sure everyone benefits from a pipeline. I will also be a strong advocate to ensure that any new pipeline does not threaten Delta’s farmland.

The Province and municipalities should work together with respect. For Delta, two shared priorities stand out: transportation infrastructure, including the George Massey crossing, and economic competitiveness.

We’d meet early with Delta’s mayor and council to hear their priorities, find where we can work together and set up regular communication. Local governments deserve a provincial partner that listens, respects their role and delivers results.

Kuldeep Rangi | CentreBC

I'm looking forward to a fresh start with Delta's mayor and council. Good results come from talking often and honestly, not just when there's a problem.
I'd suggest meeting with the mayor and council every three months, and I'll keep my door open to city staff in between. I'll also report back to the community on what we're working on. Two things I'd focus on together:

● Getting the tunnel built on a clear schedule and budget.
● Building homes local workers can afford. CentreBC will give cities more money for roads, water and sewers, and reward cities that approve homes quickly.

I want Delta to get its fair share. It works both ways. I'll be honest about what the province can do and when, and I'm happy for council to hold me to it.

To build a productive working relationship with the city of Delta it would be very important to have open lines of communication. I look forward to working with the new mayor and council. There are many areas where the city and province have shared priorities, such as protecting farmland and strengthen agriculture. Municipal and provincial candidates have campaigned on infrastructure investment and support for small local businesses and have also spoken about transit expansion and the need to addressing housing affordability. I would do my best to keep local officials updated of any projects. Thus, ensuring that the local council are involved in the process. By working together we can identity and fund the necessary improvements and apply a coordinated effort so that local issues are addressed. people expect their governments to work together to strengthen the services people count on and keep costs down. I have a documented history with working with our community to build recreation space and was instrumental in the recent contract negotiations with Coast Mountain Bus Company, I know what it takes to collaborate with all levels of government and groups with varied interests.

Jim McMurtry | One BC

I would get them to focus on business and drop Delta's woke delirium and dubious spending.

Ian Paton | Conservative Party

I spent seven years as a city councilor, so I understand the importance of municipal government and as an MLA I have always maintained a positive relationship with municipal leaders. Completing a replacement for the George Massey Tunnel and delivering a new long-term care centre are two of my most important local priorities, and I will continue to engage with the municipal government to advocate for these badly-needed projects. The NDP has proved that it cannot be trusted to deliver for Delta, but a Conservative government would listen to and respect local concerns.

Our position is clear: British Columbians already pay too much, and we’ve committed to no new taxes. Our platform cuts personal income taxes by $1,000 a year for nearly every working British Columbian, while making BC more competitive and attracting investment. A stronger economy, responsible spending and a growing tax base are how we sustain the public services people rely on.

Kuldeep Rangi | CentreBC

CentreBC isn't planning to raise income taxes. In fact, we're lowering them for working families. On January 1, 2027, we'll bring the lowest income tax rate back down from 5.6% to 5.06%. We also won't extend the freeze on tax brackets past 2030, so you won't end up paying more just because of inflation. We think the best way to pay for good public services is a strong economy, not higher taxes that push businesses and workers away. That's why we're cutting red tape, speeding up permits and giving tax relief to businesses hit by US tariffs. That's how we keep health care and schools strong while keeping BC a good place to invest.

Taxation is used for the benefits of all British Columbians. Revenue from higher income earners will provide additional support to health care, to hire more health workers, open more long term care facilities amongst other related issues. There are other options that can be utilized to maintain B.C's competitiveness such as direct financial relief for any small business that is affected by U.S. tariffs, they will be eligible for interest tree loans up to
$1 million. To help employers and young people the NDP will provide a hiring incentive that will offer a $5000 refundable tax credit for small businesses that hire a young person aged (18-30) for a 12 month period. The BC NDP also included a 15% refundable tax credit for eligible manufacturing and processing investments, in buildings, machinery, and equipment in the 2026 budget. When you combine this with a $400 million strategic investment account to support opportunities for private Sector growth. Ultimately government will have to monitor the impact of higher personal taxes, and review spending to guarantee sustainable public services.

Jim McMurtry | One BC

Taxes have to come down and governments have to stimulate growth.

Ian Paton | Conservative Party

The Conservatives will not introduce any new taxes on British Columbians. Under the NDP, B.C. is already overtaxed and it is crippling our economy. The NDP’s latest tax hike proposal is remarkably short-sighted. At a time when B.C. is facing a serious doctor shortage, David Eby has revealed a plan to add more taxes to the doctors and specialists that every community is trying to recruit. The NDP has also raised the lowest income tax rate and froze tax brackets until 2030, meaning inflation will cause British Columbians to be taxed even more. Despite the government taxing and spending more than ever recorded, British Columbians do not have the functioning services they need. Instead of relying on harsher taxes in a smaller economy, the Conservatives will fund public services by encouraging investment and growing the economy while lightening B.C.'s tax burden. The Conservatives will not raise any taxes, will cut provincial income taxes by $1,000 a year for nearly every working British Columbian, remove the PST on new business investment in machinery, equipment, and software for three years, and raise the province’s basic personal exemption from $13,126 to $32,000.

BC needs to restore fiscal discipline while protecting essential services. Our platform reviews government spending, reduces administrative duplication, improves efficiency across government and Crown corporations, and strengthens oversight of major capital projects. Just as important is growing the economy through private investment, resource development and job creation. We’ll measure progress through transparent financial reporting, spending control and a better fiscal outlook for the Province.

Kuldeep Rangi | CentreBC

BC is running a $13.3-billion deficit this year, with no date to balance the budget. That's not fair to our kids, and CentreBC has a plan to fix it. We'll balance the budget by 2034/35. Every ministry will build its budget from scratch, and budgets won't go up automatically every year. Over four years, we'll have 10,000 fewer government positions by not filling jobs when people retire or leave. No layoffs. We'll only borrow for things that help the economy grow, like roads and transit. And you'll be able to check our work. A new independent budget officer will report to the Legislature, not the government. We'll post a public scorecard every three months. And if cabinet ministers miss the budget target, they'll take a pay cut. That's how we get back on track while protecting the services people count on.

All people in BC want their government to use their resources efficiently. We are all tired of seeing the growing deficits and debt. Many of these issues have been beyond the provincial governments ability to control. This province like every other province in Canada has budgeted a deficit. Our debt to GDP ratio is one of the lowest in Canada. We want to bring down the deficit responsibly overtime, but we're not going to make people pay the price with cuts to healthcare and education. The NDP will manage debt and prioritize infrastructure according to their urgency, economic benefits and long term value. We will continue encourage private sector investment, support small business, and still review the effectiveness of tax measures to ensure we can fund essential services without discouraging investment. To assess progress you will have to see declining deficits against published targets, you would hopefully see a stabilization of the debt-to-GDP ratio, with interest cots remaining manageable relative to revenues, and of course stronger productivity, private investment, with employment and business growth proving economic performance.

Jim McMurtry | One BC

Eliminate the deficit.

Ian Paton | Conservative Party

The NDP government has plunged B.C. into a record-setting $13.8 billion debt and $141.1 billion deficit. This gross fiscal incompetence means that more and more tax money from hardworking British Columbians will go towards debt servicing instead of the essential services that we rely on. The Conservatives are committed to introducing no new taxes, and we also will not cut any healthcare spending. We will fix the deficit by growing the economy and cutting government waste and red tape. The B.C. Energy Superpower Plan will double natural gas production by 2032 and triple it by 2035. These policies will ultimately grow the provincial tax base while still lowering British Columbians’ tax burden. The NDP have left a fiscal disaster for us to clean up, but we have a plan to fix it, and our progress can be measured by metrics like the increase in investment B.C. will see, and putting an end to the multiple credit downgrades B.C. received due to the NDP’s reckless spending.

Every British Columbian deserves timely, quality health care, wherever they live.

Kuldeep Rangi | CentreBC

Too many Delta families are still looking for a family doctor. More than one in five people in BC don't have one. CentreBC will set a deadline to fix that. By the end of 2031, everyone who wants one will have a family doctor or nurse practitioner. Starting in 2029, nobody will wait more than a year. We'll give team clinics steady funding, so new ones can open and stay open in places like Delta. We'll add 600 more nurse practitioners by 2030. Doctors and nurses from other provinces, the US, the UK and Australia will be able to start work here within 30 days. We'll also focus on keeping the health care workers we already have, with better working conditions.

There are a number of plans that will improve access to health care for people in Delta. Firstly, the Urgent and Primary Care Centre was opened on the TFN in late 2025. This has provided same day appointments and after hours care, reducing unnecessary pressure on the Delta Hospital. Through the Health Connect Registry upwards of 4000 people are being connected to a family doctor or nurse practitioner a week. The government just opened up a new medical school at SFU to train the next generation of family doctors. The government has continued recruitment to health care professionals from the US to join the front line. Next the NDP would like to fast track training for international graduates living in BC. Currently the government has increased enrollment to train an additional 1000 health care workers. For these workers there will be incentives to attract and retain qualified workers while working to reduce administrative burdens and support sustainable workloads so that professionals can spend more time caring for patients.

Jim McMurtry | One BC

This has to be seen as a priority, not the pride sidewalks everywhere or a plaque outside city hall to a fake discovery in Kamloops.

The Conservatives will not cut healthcare funding and are committed to keeping B.C.’s system universal and publicly funded, making sure British Columbians can receive the care they need with nothing more than their health card. The hospital wait times and ER closures we are experiencing under the NDP are unacceptable. A Conservative government would speed up international credential recognition for doctors and also has a plan to train more doctors here in B.C. Unlike the NDP with their newly announced “doctor tax”, the Conservatives are committed to making B.C. an attractive place for doctors to work. Within its first 100 days, a Conservative government will launch an expert commission to bring proven solutions from other public healthcare systems to B.C.

Delta’s seniors and families deserve a straight answer on the Beedie Long-Term Care Centre. We’re committed to building more long-term-care beds, faster, so seniors can get care close to home.

We’ll work with local representatives and health-care partners on where Beedie stands and the right path forward.

Kuldeep Rangi | CentreBC

Delta seniors and their families deserve to know when the Beedie Long-Term Care Centre will open, and I'll push hard to get it built. Right now, more than 7,000 seniors in BC are waiting for a long-term care bed. CentreBC will have 2,500 new beds under construction and 1,000 open by March 2031. For Beedie, I'll push for a firm budget and a public schedule. Under our plan, big projects get an independent cost check, and if costs go up more than 10%, the public gets told why. Delta families shouldn't be left guessing. Many seniors also want to stay in their own homes as long as they can. We'll add 1.5 million more hours of home support a year and cut home support fees in half for low-income seniors.

This is a very important topic to me. My mother-in-law was on the waitlist for two and a half years to get into a seniors home. When the government announced the pause I was very upset. This community through the hard work of the Delta Hospital Foundation had raised over $18 million for this facility. The budget tor construction was $180 million. So I wanted to know why it was paused. I was told that the funding for construction was secured but that the funding was not available to equipe or staff the facility. That issue has now been resolved through the BC-Canada Prosperity agreement. There will be fair wages tor care workers, bringing back 5000 care-home workers back into the public health system to ensure stable staffing and continuity of better care. The plan also includes bringing more nurse practitioners, pharmacy services into long-term care homes so residents can avoid trips to the hospital.

Jim McMurtry | One BC

As a senior and as one who recently had aged parents, I see the need to do all we can.

After reneging on their promise, the NDP cannot be trusted to deliver a long-term care centre for Delta. The Conservatives have a plan to complete the long-term care projects that the NDP cancelled, including the Beedie Long-Term Care Centre. The NDP piled so many unnecessary rules onto care home designs that some proposed beds reached $1.8 million each. These unnecessary design rules can be cut so high quality facilities can be built faster and more affordably while protecting safety and quality of care. In the meantime, seniors waiting for a bed will receive portable public funding that can be used on any qualified provider, whether public or non-government.

Delta's farms are a big part of what makes this community special, and they help feed BC. CentreBC will set clear goals to grow farming over the next 10 years. We'll fix outdated rules so farmland is actually farmed, and help young and new farmers get started. We'll also help farms pay for things like equipment, greenhouses and irrigation. When disaster hits, like a flood, drought or wildfire, farms will get help to recover quickly. Farmers will also get a real say in how water is managed. And I'll make sure Delta farmers are heard early when big projects affect their land and water, so growth at the port doesn't come at the cost of our farmland.

First we need to maintain a strong and independent Agricultural Land Commission. We will work with farmers to minimize the loss of agricultural land through infrastructure projects. Ensuring that they have a say in the routing and will be compensated for affected properties. We will to continue to invest in farming like the NDP did in 2024 with $80 million for agricultural water infrastructure. We can help farmers with direct financial relief tor any of their crops that have been affected by U.S. tariffs, they will be eligible for interest free loans up to $1 million. We will help farmers find new markets and will offer them enhanced market research grants, help diversify supply chains to buy Canadian and sell their products to new markets. This year BC NDP also included a 15% refundable tax credit for eligible storage, packing and processing facilities, and modernization of machinery and equipment.
When you combine this with cutting of the gas tax and regulating gas companies to make sure toey pass on the savings, those two measures will save farmers up to 30 cents a litre in fuel costs.

Yes, but restrict greenhouse expansion.

I’ve farmed in Delta my whole life, and I’ve spent nine years as Shadow Minister for Agriculture. B.C. is the most expensive province in Canada to farm in, and Delta farmers feel that every day. I will fight every single day to ensure that farmers’ voices are heard. A Conservative government would establish a Joint Industry-Government Policy Working Group to tackle rising production costs collaboratively. We will review existing legislation and programs to cut red tape and combat the bureaucratic creep that is costing farmers significant time and expense and discouraging innovation in the agricultural sector. We will invest in long term solutions to protect farmland from natural disasters like floods. A Conservative government will move beyond the dismissive attitude that the provincial government has had toward the agricultural sector and provide recognition, assistance, and support to the farmers of B.C.
