	Welcome to the New Democratic Party of British Columbia
		We are active in the life of our communities, we are building new alliances, we are generating new ideas, and pragmatic and positive solutions to the issues that face this province.
		Friends, we're 18 months into the new era, a new era of mean-spiritedness, of division, of economic catastrophe, a new era of failed economic plans, of record-high deficits that I predict are growing, of skyrocketing debt, a new era of falling education standards, of health care privatization, and of gutted environmental standards.
		So, from here on in, whenever a New Democrat, anywhere in the province, stands up and proposes a solution to an issue, we will be called upon to explain how we will do it.

		I don't think the democratic process is going to be strengthened by infringing on the liberties and freedom of the Canadian people.
		All political parties in the House of Commons and the vast majority of Canadians are united in their determination to stamp out terrorism and to punish those who have been responsible for the kidnapping and murder of innocent victims.
		That is why members of the New Democratic Party voted against invoking the War Measures Act and the regulations that were enacted under it.

		"For too long the Liberal Party has taken our communities for granted; it is time for the traditional leadership of Canada's Muslim communities to cut their ties with the tainted record of the Federal Liberal Party and demonstrate solidarity with Jack Layton and his New Democrats," said Niaz Salimi President of the MCC.
		While other politicians look for their own interests, the NDP has clearly demonstrated that it is the only party that has the interest of ordinary Canadians in mind, the statement said.
