On Dec 22, The BC United party (Formerly BC Liberal Party) leader of the official opposition Kevin Falcon with Punteet Sandhar (MLA Candidate from Surrey) met the South Asian Media owners and representatives at Maharaja Fine Dinning Restaurant in Surrey. Mr. CJ Sidhu moderated the meeting. Hon. Kevin Falcon addressed his BC United vision in his welcoming speech, he criticized the BC NDP Govt. current policies and projects in progress like the Patullo, and Messey Tunnel bridges, under construction at Cloverdale Hospital, shortage of Doctors in ER, Public Transport, Housing, Taxes, and other public facilities. He introduced Ms.Punteet Sangara and said that we will have more great announcements coming on candidates not just in Surrey, but around the province one of the commitments I made early honest leader I was going to make sure that in this next election by the time we rolled around for the next election, we would have a group of candidates that represent the kind of background diversity more women and exactly the kind of strong group of candidates that we need to make sure that when we form the government will have people that are ready to get to work right away to fix the challenges that we face and I have to tell you I’m just going to sort of set the table to where we are in British Columbia right now. The South Asian Media highlighted the BC Residents key issues:
• Affordable Housing and new construction of Housing Units
• BC Health Care system, shortage of Medical Staff at the ER of each hospital, and Waiting period increases day by day. The government has rented a motel so that we can send patients from the hospital into a motel room.
• Increase in Crime and drug addiction.
• Public Transport and the infrastructure of the Roads, Patulo and Messy Tunnel Bridges, and Driving structure.
• Educational system policies etc…
The Miracle Media higlighted the important issue of the Surrey School Portables (without heating systems), where students spent whole days in Jackets and gloves this winter.
Hon. Falcon responded “That you know again, I’m just talking about results this BC government promised in 2017, you remember what they promised about the school’s Portables?
We will take care in future about the Washrooms privacy and all others matters.
