The North Delta Reporter sent all seven candidates hoping to represent Delta in Parliament five questions to gauge their positions on some of the big issues for Deltans in the 2019 federal election. The questions were:
1) What is you/you party’s plan to combat climate change and safeguard the environment for future generations?
2) How do you/your party plan to make homes in Delta more affordable for new buyers as well as increase the number of available rental units in the community?
3) How would you/your party reduce the tax burden for Delta families?
4) What will you/your party do to support the growing number of seniors in our community?
5) Many Deltans are concerned about the shootings and other gang-related violence happening across the Lower Mainland. How will you/your party help reduce violent crime and keep law-abiding folks safe?
We gave candidates a limit of 900 words total to answer. Click the links below to read what each one had to say…
