Questions about public safety prompted by the stabbing death of a Surrey teenager sparked a sharp exchange over the causes of crime between governing New Democrats and the Official Opposition inside and outside the legislature’s main chamber Tuesday morning .
“The last time was in government, they made those cuts to health care, to mental health services,” he said. “They made those cuts to mental health services. They made cuts to sexual assault centres. They did irreparable damage to the social service sector, which provides the supports that they now want to see in place.”
“When will the Premier end the lip service, acknowledge that there is chaos reigning in British Columbia and that it is squarely on his shoulders, as a former Attorney General, and the now Premier of British Columbia? When will he stand up and do something?” “ an opposition asks a question on the root causes of crime and they have that record that they did, where they made those cuts that impacted in terms of the social service network … then the price you pay is down the road,” he said. “So when they ask those kinds of questions, you are darn right, I’m going to hit back.”“Transit is safe,” he said.
