Leading up to BC’s provincial election later this month, I had the good fortune to interview Chris Moore, the Conservative Party of British Columbia's candidate for Powell River-Sunshine Coast.
The full interview is about 30 minutes long and you can watch it on YouTube, but here are some of the highlights.
Chris on the need for more housing
We do not build enough housing. This province needs a hundred thousand doors a year right now, and our record in 2022 was 32,000 doors. That's our record. So even if we had all the money to build all the houses to stabilize the price... we do not have enough tradespeople. So [the Conservative Party of British Columbia] is advocating for huge increases in vocational training.
Chris on improvements for Highway 101
We know that we need major upgrades on a highway that was built in the '60s. It's 2024 and really we have seen nothing.
When I come off that ferry from the upper coast, when I come in from Earls Cove and I come into Pender Harbour, it's brutal. If you're driving at night and it's dark, it's not a fun ride. It's twisty, it's turny, it's slippery, it's not cool, and I don't relish it at all. And there's a lot of people that are my senior that are driving that highway, not to mention the transport drivers that hate the highway.
Chris on solving the doctor shortage
The way [the Conservative Party of British Columbia] wants to attack it, we want to encourage people to go into the medical profession. If they’re immigrants that are qualified from other countries, let’s shorten the time frame that it takes for them to be re-accredited, to become a nurse, become a doctor, become an LP. At the same time, we want to encourage more people to go into the sciences so that they can get qualified in medicine. We need to open those doors up.
