NDP MLA Melanie Mark says new infrastructure funding a boost for community services

Rustad and Falcon wheel and deal in corporate boardrooms while Eby takes action for people

While David Eby spent the spring taking action on what matters to people, John Rustad and Kevin Falcon spent the session opposing that action and focusing on themselves.

Ravi Kahlon, BC NDP House Leader:
