Minister’s statement about December 2025 rental report On Monday, Dec. 8, 2025, Rentals.ca released a report indicating that rental asking prices in British Columbia for purpose-built and condo units continue to lead the country in declines, down 8.5% in the past two years.

We’ve taken bold steps to increase rental supply, strengthen protections for tenants and crack down on speculation in the housing market. These results show our efforts are paying off.

Protecting students is non-negotiable. Every child deserves a classroom where they are safe, respected and welcomed, and our #BCNDP Government will fight for that every day.

Rustad’s handpicked candidates who are now in #OneBC continue to spread fear & division, putting vulnerable students at risk.

People deserve to feel safe from violence and extortion, and know that perpetrators are held accountable in the court of law. BC has led the country in calling on the federal government for reforms that would make our communities safer

Art Mann Park now has 3 new #accessible picnic tables and #accessible pathways to get to them, which means more people are able to enjoy this park. We funded $25K to the District of North Cowichan to make these changes. Grateful to see spaces across #BC becoming more #inclusive.

Together, we’ve gone from 8 beds in 2017 to 24 state-of-the-art acute care beds. That’s 12 ICU, 12 HAU beds.
Together we funded it – 50% BC, 33% Regional Hospital District, 16% Hospital Foundation. Huge thanks to our funders & healthcare workers who made this happen!

The impact of Trump's tariffs is being felt across Canada, but B.C. shows resilience w/ private sector job gains compared to other provinces.

We'll continue defending B.C. workers & businesses while building a strong economy, less reliant on the U.S. and create good jobs for people.
