New report proposes 10 reforms to protect British Columbians’ rights and strengthen government accountability of Commons and the Senate
Released: October 27, 2026
British Columbia’s Legislative Assembly has enormous power to either protect freedom or erode it. Following the election on October 24, 2026, the next government faces decisions that will shape the rights and freedoms of British Columbians for years to come. This report identifies 10 areas where members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) can take action to restore constitutional freedoms, limit government overreach, strengthen democratic accountability, and allow British Columbians to live their lives without unnecessary state interference. Some of these issues require the Legislative Assembly to repeal legislation that has gone too far. Others require stronger safeguards, clearer statutory limits, or a willingness to reconsider policies that have expanded government authority at the expense of individual liberty. To further the Charter’s promise of a “free and democratic society,” British Columbians should expect their elected representatives to defend freedom deliberately and consistently.
