全加华人联会（太平洋区）二问各大政党

Questions for all parties in the 2020 BC Election

一问：

据报导，在今年「新冠」疫情期间，温哥华的种族仇恨罪案上升了800％以上，主要是针对亚洲人，尤其是华人。如果贵政党组成下一届省政府，贵党会承诺采取哪些即时和长远的具体措施及计划来解决这一令人担忧的问题？

Question 01：

With COVID-19, reported racially based hate crimes are up over 800% in Vancouver this year, targeting Asians and especially Chinese.  If your party forms government, what immediate and longer-term concrete plans will your party commit to implement to address this alarming issue? 

卑诗绿党：

为了长期解决这个问题，我们需要富有同情心的教育。人们之所以迷惑，是因为他们感到困扰和害怕，因为他们没有受到适当的教育。我们尚不知道如何特别保护加拿大华人。因此，我首先来找您寻求指导──因为我无法理解您的经历，因此我认为重要的是要先作聆听。然后，我们将共同执行短期和长期计划，以解决这种令人讨厌趋势日益上升仇恨罪案。

BC Green Party:

To solve this problem long term, we need compassionate education. People are bigoted because they are confused, because they are scared, and because they aren’t properly educated. I do not know yet how to specifically protect Chinese Canadians, so I would first come to you and ask for your guidance — because I can’t understand your experience, I believe it’s important that I listen first. Then together we would implement both short and long term plans to address this alarming rise of hate crimes.

卑诗自由党：

我们真正幸运地生活在一个拥有丰富文化多样性和传统的省份中。这是我们的强项之一。因此，我们必须努力消除机构中的系统种族主义，并确保所有卑诗省民的权利都受到法律的尊重。我们将要求警察部门积极采取反种族主义和反歧视行为政策，并与警察一道通过增加非武装社区警务巡逻队的使用来化解我们街头的冲突，从而确保所有卑诗省民的尊严与平等。

BC Liberal Party:

We are truly fortunate to live in a province with rich cultural diversity and heritages. It is one of our great strengths. That’s why we must work to eliminate systemic-racism in ourinstitutions, and to ensure that the rights of all British Columbians are respected under the law. We will ensure dignity and equality for all British Columbians, by requiring police services to actively adopt anti-racism and anti-discriminatory conduct policies and work with police to defuse conflicts on our streets, by increasing the use of non-armed community-policing patrols.

卑诗新民主党：

我们在第一任期取得了一些良好的进展，恢复了卑诗省人权委员会，并进行了全省范围的反种族主义之旅，从而建立了新的抵抗力卑诗省反种族主义网络，该网络可以帮助社区预防或应对事件种族主义和仇恨。

我们知道还有更多工作要做。连任的卑诗省新民主党新任政府将在第一任期的基础上通过以下方式继续开展工作：

• 在与利益相关者进行充分磋商之后，制定新的《反种族主义法》，以研究如何改进已有25 年历史的《多元文化主义法》，以便更好地为卑诗省的每个人提供服务。
• 与卑诗省新任人权事务专员和其他利益相关者合作，制定立法，为基于种族的数据收集铺平道路，这对于减少系统性歧视并使警务，医疗和教育等部门现代化至关重要。
• 通过增加政府内部的IBPOC（土著，黑人和有色人种）代表，并确定IBPOC 在公共部门中的代表人数的目标，确保公共部门在我省人民中更具代表性。
• 通过简化外国证书评估来提高移民参加工作场所的能力，并确保移民可以更轻松地增强其语言技能并获得其培训领域的工作机会。
• 通过为新移民和定居点建立新的一站式商店来创建一个更受欢迎的省，以提出与移民融合，政策和服务有关的关键问题。

BC NDP：

We made some good progress in our first term, restoring the BC Human Rights Commission, and undertaking a province-wide anti-racism tour that led to the creation of the new Resilience BC Anti-Racism Network, which helps communities prevent or respond to incidents of racism and hate.

We know there is more work to do. A re-elected BC NDP government will build on our work in our first term by:

• Delivering a new Anti-Racism Act, following a full stakeholder consultation to look at how we can improve on our 25-year-old Multiculturalism Act so that it better serves everyone in BC
• Working with BC’s new Human Rights Commissioner and other stakeholders to introduce legislation that paves the way for race-based data collection essential to reducing systemic discrimination and modernizing sectors like policing, health care and education.
• Making sure that the public sector is more representative of the people of our province, by increasing IBPOC (Indigenous, Black, and People of Color) representation within government and setting targets for IBPOC representation in the public sector.
• Improving the ability of immigrants to participate in the workplace by streamlining foreign credential assessments, and making sure immigrants can more easily strengthen their language skills and access job opportunities in their field of training.
• Creating a more welcoming province by setting up a new one-stop-shop for newcomers and the settlement sector to raise key issues related to immigrant integration, policy, and services.

二问：

温哥华唐人街是温哥华和卑诗省的瑰宝，是一个十分珍贵的省级历史城区，反映了卑诗省丰富的多元文化遗产。然而，唐人街目前正面临罪案、毒品、清洁、社会和经济振兴等问题的挑战。贵党将会采取哪些具体措施和计划来解决这些问题？以及具体实施时间？

Question 02：

Vancouver Chinatown is a gem in Vancouver and B.C., a highly valued provincial historical area, reflecting B.C.’s rich multicultural heritage. Yet, Chinatown is challenged by crimes, drugs, cleanliness, social and economic revitalization issues. What specific plans does your party have to implement to address these issues? And when? 

卑诗绿党：

我们首先要使毒品合法化，扩大安全供应，并改善治疗那些因吸毒成瘾和创伤苦苦挣扎的人所需的心理健康支持。我们也有兴趣成立一个由专门的当地居民和专家（其中包括唐人街居民）组成的委员会，以使我们的政府承担责任，并确保市中心东端和所有受影响的区域迅速康复。在有足够的资源，有正确的政策和问责的政府，我们就能解决这些问题。

BC Green Party:

We would start by decriminalizing drugs, scaling up safe supply, and improving the mental health supports needed to heal those struggling with drug addiction and trauma. We’re also interested in creating a committee of dedicated local residents and experts (this would include Chinatown residents) to hold our governments accountable and ensure a swift recovery of the DTES and all affected surrounding areas. We have the resources, and with the right policies in place and residents holding the government accountable, we can solve these problems.

卑诗自由党：

我们将建立一条真正的途径，使人们远离毒品，并通过增加5800 万元的公共安全资金来确保街道和社区的安全，帮助打击犯罪并确保警察和检察官拥有他们所需的资源，以使我们的社区更加安全。

我们还将增加成瘾治疗和康复计划，确保需要帮助摆脱药品依赖的人士有明确的治疗途径，努力减少犯罪，并解决社会上的系统种族主义问题。

BC Liberal Party:

We will build a real pathway to get people off drugs, and ensure safer streets and communities by increasing funding for public safety by $58 million, to help fight crime and make sure police and prosecutors have the resources they need to make our communities safer.

We will also increase addiction-treatment and recovery programs, insuring those who need help getting off drugs have a clear pathway to treatment, work to decrease crime, and to address issues of systemic racism in our society.

卑诗新民主党：

温哥华的唐人街确实是我省的一颗明珠，也是重要的文化遗产社区。我们知道，由于流行病，许多社区面临着特殊的挑战，而我们社区中的弱势群体也面临着挑战。我们新的1 亿加元加强社区基金将向温哥华等地方政府提供资金，以解决社区对环境卫生，街道混乱或社区安全的担忧。这笔钱将支持地方政府解决当地问题，同时我们将继续努力，为需要帮助的人提供更多基于社区的心理健康支持，更多支持性住房以及更多治疗选择。

BC NDP:

Vancouver’s Chinatown is indeed a jewel in our province, and an important heritage community. And we know that many neighborhoods are facing particular challenges as a result of the pandemic, and the challenges facing vulnerable people in our communities. Our new $100 million strengthening communities fund will provide funding to local governments, like Vancouver, to address community concerns with cleanliness, street disorder, or community safety. This money will support local governments to address local concerns, while we continue our work to provide more community-based mental health supports, more supportive housing, and additional treatment options for those who need them.
