Speeches

As an MLA, I am privileged to have the opportunity to speak from the floor of the BC Legislative Chamber. I get to engage in debate on bills and motions, as well as to celebrate the individuals, organizations and businesses that enrich Burnaby North. I welcome your ideas about what I could be profiling in our community.

Below is a set of videos from the BC Legislature of Janet helping advocate for the community she represents. More videos can be found on her YouTube page.
