Appoint Mable Elmore as a Minister to the Premier’s Cabinet

Representation matters. For BC’s more than 130,000 Filipinos, the need to be reflected in the province’s most powerful public policy decision making body is great.  The lived-experience MLA Elmore would bring to the Cabinet table as the only MLA of Filipino-descent would have deepened and enriched the government’s understanding of this fast-growing community - and resulted in better and more effective policies and decisions.  

While MLA Elmore was not named to Cabinet, Beyond Representation recognizes this call helped mobilize a broad cross-section of Filipinos and their advocates.  It sparked their interest in electoral politics and marked the beginning of an ongoing journey towards genuine change for more diverse leaders in government.
