Thank you, Mr. Chair.
This is a great discussion we're having here.
Recent census data showed us that B.C. is the most desirable place to live in Canada. We're having a discussion around rural and small communities. Some of our rural communities are becoming small communities, rather than remaining rural. We've seen throughout COVID that people are choosing to work remotely and are leaving the urban centres and going into the smaller communities, such as Lake Country and Langford on the Island. There is significant growth in B.C. We've just hit a population of five million.
Are you monitoring this? What adjustments are you making to meet those demands? Are you seeing those demands specifically in the smaller communities? What changes are being brought forward there?
