“I cannot believe how fast this year has gone. It’s been the fastest year of my life, because we’ve been so busy,” said Mitzi Dean, MLA at her annual holiday season open house, December 16.

She noted “passing a lot of important legislation” including in the housing sector, child care, “and making sure life is affordable for British Columbians”.

To much applause, Dean said: “People who are paying MSP premiums had their last bill!”

Noting Premier Horgan and Finance Minister James, Dean said she is “surrounded by people who really care about our province” and that government is “turning back the neglect that we saw for so long” to ensure that people get the services they need, along with maintaining a strong economy. She said reconciliation must be intentional.
