What do all my policies have in common?
- Practicality: Every policy is grounded in real-world solutions that can be realistically implemented and have a positive impact on Vancouver-Renfrew’s residents.
- Transparency: Whether it's budgeting, infrastructure, or social services, transparency is key. My goal is to ensure that the public knows where their tax dollars are going and how policies are being executed.
- Community First: My policies focus on enhancing the quality of life in Vancouver-Renfrew. From housing to healthcare, each initiative is designed with the goal of making life better for every resident, ensuring safety, opportunity, and prosperity.
My Goal if Elected MLA for Vancouver-Renfrew
As an MLA, my goal will be to serve the community with honesty and results, bringing forward policies that reflect the values and needs of Vancouver-Renfrew. I will work to foster a community where businesses can thrive, seniors are supported, and young families have the resources they need to grow.
Vancouver-Renfrew deserves a representative who is not only committed to tackling today's challenges but also planning for a brighter future for the next generation. I will ensure that our riding has a strong voice in the BC Legislature.
Healthcare
Diagnostic and procedure wait-times
Promesses de BC Conservatives
"After a brief consultation period, the Conservative Party of BC will:
- Implement the Patients First Wait Time Guarantee for select diagnostics and surgical procedures.
If diagnostic or medical procedures exceed medically recommended wait times, patients would be able to access care at a pre-approved facility out-of-province and be re-imbursed according to a set fee schedule. A similar policy (Cross Border Directive) has been helping patients across the European Union since 2013."

"The Conservative Party of BC will:
- Pay for patients in the public system to receive quality health care services in non-governmental clinics for specific priority procedures and diagnostic services.
We will get people off waiting lists and into operating rooms and diagnostic clinics for services like MRIs and priority surgeries. It makes no sense for non-government health facilities to sit idle when they could be contracted to help BC patients right now."

Health administration
Promesse de BC Conservatives
"Instead of simply throwing money at health facilities and hoping for the best (the “block grant” model), the Conservative Party will implement what has effectively worked well in European countries and Quebec – a policy known as “activity-based funding”.
This will see hospitals, Regional Health Authorities, and/or other non-government facilities funded based on their output – each time they treat patients for specific diagnostic and priority procedures, they receive additional funds. This approach incentivizes providers to be more efficient and treat as many patients as possible."

Health staffing
Promesses de BC Conservatives
"Nurses that want to improve their credentials should have flexible options for career training. As experienced professionals retire, our system will need to replace this expertise. We will ensure that front line staff like Healthcare Assistants and Licensed Practical Nurses that want to upskill their credentials have a path that ensures they can both support our healthcare system and advance their careers." — conservativebc.ca, retrieved 2024-10-08

Housing & Homelessness
Housing prices
Promesse de BC Conservatives
"1) Largest tax cut for renters and homeowners in BC history – $3,000 per month of rent or mortgage interest costs will be exempt from provincial income taxes. This will be achieved by issuing a tax credit worth 5.06% of eligible housing costs, equivalent to the rate of BC’s base tax bracket.
2) Immediate relief in Budget 2026 - by exempting $1,500 per month, increasing by $500 per year to the full level of $3,000 per month. This is a clear and long-term commitment to British Columbians who work hard.
3) A fair and fiscally responsible tax credit – The 2026 budget impact will not exceed $900 million, and we will design a targeted tax credit that ensures the relief goes to people who need it to get ahead in life." — conservativebc.ca, retrieved 2024-10-08
