How are we going to know what impact that has on the greenhouse gas emissions? How are we going to hold everybody accountable for doing their part?

One of the things I do know about investment from around the world and job creators: they won't come to British Columbia if our attitude is well, "no," or all of our processes are just going to be a way of making sure you can't get to "yes." They'll just go somewhere else. Those jobs will be somewhere else.

You can't say British Columbia's carbon tax is exactly the same as increasing hydroelectricity rates in another province. They're very different mechanisms, but we shouldn't deny that both of them can have an impact, and that's why we're talking about this broadly.

I choose the most qualified people. We need to run more women in parties in ridings where they can be elected. That's what I really focused on, so that we have more women to select for cabinet, potentially.

We do need the federal government to share information with us. We need local governments to increase supply. We need affordable places for people to live.

There are limits to what we can do. That's for sure. That is true. One of the downsides of a growing economy [is that] we're accommodating a lot more people. They're buying houses and the market is growing. That is part of the downside of that, but I think that all of us do have to decide to act on it.

I just think about how many women in their workplaces have been working to get a promotion, and they look around, and then this guy comes.
