Last night the BC Legislature voted to protect BC workers on BC infrastructure projects.

The BC Conservative bill to scrap Community Benefit Agreements and put BC jobs at risk by inviting out-of-province workers to BC jobsites was defeated at Second Reading.

Thank you to the thousands of people who spoke up to support BC jobs, and the MLAs who supported BC skilled trades.

CBAs support local jobs for trades workers. For Jean Panneton, that was a job on Kicking Horse Canyon Phase 4, a project just 20 minutes from home.
