The Province is providing funding for 12 mass timber demonstration and research projects and has established a new advisory council to accelerate the adoption of mass timber building systems, as part of the Province's economic recovery. The NDP says mass timber is good for forestry-dependent communities, workers and the environment because it adds value rather than just volume.

The province of BC gained 27,000 jobs last month. Jobs Minister Ravi Kahlon joins Newsday to talk about the additions, where they're coming from and what he is anticipating moving forward.

Henry cites delay in vaccine delivery for late second doseThousands of seniors and long-term care workers in BC will not be getting their second dose of anti-COVID-19 vaccines before the 42-day maximum recommended interval. More than 30,000 seniors in care and 30,000 care workers in BC have received their first dose of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine. As of the end of January, less than half of 1% had received their second dose. At that time, BC's provincial health officer said because of a shortage of vaccine, the dates between doses would be extended from the 21 to 28 days recommended by the manufacturers to 42 days, which is the maximum recommended by Canada's National Advisory Committee on Immunization. Earlier this week, Dr. Bonnie Henry revealed the 42 day extended interval period will not be met in all cases."The Pfizer vaccine most people are still within the 42 days, at least starting to get second doses at day 42. We have some challenges with Moderna because the amount we are getting next week is lower than expected, so there will be some people will be delayed, so it's in the range of four to six thousand for both."—Chief Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry.Henry says she is confident people will not lose their immunity to the virus because of the delay. She says although there are no studies to prove this with the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, she says the history of vaccine efficacy shows people can go for months between doses without losing immunity.Provincial Government loosens restrictions for COVID-19 recovery grantBC's Minister of Labour is sweetening the pot, in an effort to entice more small and medium-sized businesses to apply for a COVID-19 recovery grant. Businesses can be granted up to $30,000 and tourism businesses, up to $45,000 but so far, less than a third of the $300 million dollar pot of cash has been accessed. The province changed the criteria for the grants in December to enable more businesses to qualify. Now, Ravi Kahlon is hoping to remove another barrier to business, namely the need to create a business plan to qualify."So we've streamlined the process. The amount of paperwork you are required to submit is minimal. And the biggest change I think now, is that now you can go to your own bookkeeper, you can go to your own accountant to have them do the work and we will pay them to do the work for you. So they will do your business recovery plan, and they will submit it for the money and we will pay them up to $2000 for the work they're doing."—Minister of Labour Ravi Kahlon.But, larger businesses, including Victoria-based Harbour Air have complained they don't qualify because they employ more than 150 people. Kalon is promising a new program for them will be introduced soon.

Ravi Kahlon is a Canadian Olympian and British Columbia Member of the Legislative Assembly representing the BC NDP in the riding of Delta North. Currently, Ravi is the B.C. Minister of Jobs, Economic Recovery, and Innovation.

BC's Jobs Minister joins Newsday to talk the latest Labour Force Survey, skip the dishes adding a $0.99 BC charge, the new E-commerce grant for small and medium sized businesses and more.

The Recovery Grant program has been expanded so more small and medium sized business can apply. Now, eligible businesses now only have to have lost 30% of revenue and have been operating for 18 months. Before today, businesses had to have lost 50 per cent of revenue and been open for at least three years.

Today's episode of After Nine – Monday Edition features two experts and no NDP MLAs. That's because Ravi Kahlon, the parliamentary secretary for the BC Forest Ministry won't come on a community radio program in a mill town and the Manitoba NDP has decided it doesn't want its new northern MLA to talk about representing Northern communities. So, instead, former broadcaster and waitlisted member of the Sasquatch rewilding program, Sean Frackowiak, tells us about the insanity that is Amazon Prime. And then Art Vanden Berg, inventor, tech entrepreneur, former city councilor and Los Altos Institute fellow explains the electric vehicle revolution and how it's shaking down in BC. Also, be forwarned: there may be some tech problems with segment 3.

Dan, Steph, Sunny, sit and talk with Ravi Kahlon from the the NDP, and some how retired ILWU Canada President Mark Gordienko gets  few words in. We talk to Ravi about his history, and how the NDP plans to make the province a better place for working people, and how they plan to undue the damage created by a reckless Preimier.
