When I am Premier, I will:
1. Bring a vote on the IHRA Definition of Antisemitism to the floor of the Legislative Assembly within the first 2 weeks of the next Legislative session – Either as the government or the Official Opposition.
2. Link Funding for BC Universities to Upholding the rights of their Jewish student body and all other religious groups acting peacefully. Require universities to enforce their code of conduct to protect students from bigotry and physical threats.
3. Immediately approve charges against Charlotte Kates and Samidoun as recommended by the Vancouver Police Department. Additionally, instruct the Attorney General to investigate other groups who have been actively partnering with Samidoun.
4. Adjust the mandatory Holocaust Education to be delivered in grade 8 and include an additional mandatory module about the evolution of antisemitism: From medieval to modern.
5. Provide additional funding to Jewish schools, places of worship and institutions to improve security, until the threat level comes down.
6. The creation of a Special Advisor on Jewish Community & Antisemitism.
7. Antisemitism training for law enforcement, politicians and public service employees.
8. Work with the Provincial Firearms Officer to ensure that licensed armed security can be employed to protect Jewish institutions.
Together, we will get BC back on track.
