Candidate Questionnaires, BC Provincial Election 2020
We asked the candidates running in the 7 Provincial Electoral Districts that include all or part of Greater Victoria to respond to the following questions:
1. The implementations of an independent Citizens' Assembly (CA) review of potential amalgamation of Victoria and Saanich, approved by voters in 2018, is still in limbo and awaits contribution of funding support by the Province. Will you pro-actively support action by the Minister responsible to get the CA process underway?
2. Do you agree reform is needed in Greater Victoria for such regional issues as transportation, governance, and the integration of emergency service providers (fire and police)?
3. The current Capital Region District Board (CRD) consists of municipal councillors and mayors who are appointed from the 13 municipalities to represent the interests of their home municipalities. Do you support a shift to have the CRD Board reflect and represent regional interests and priorities by having it directly elected by all voters?
Candidates are listed below, with their Questionnaire responses linked in red.
