I just listened to the throne speech and found most interesting for us on VV is the government setting up some sort of program to make single family homes

I have no idea what they have in mind.

Also, there will be fulltime kindergarten as of September 2010.

A major initiative will be commenced to encourage affordable market housing in B.C. that will put the dream of a single-family home within the economic reach of our children.

Working with B.C.'s municipalities, we will examine all government-imposed costs and legislative frameworks — from property assessment to subdivision regulations and other development tools — with a view to reducing both capital and operating costs for housing in B.C. Our children aspire to owning homes in livable and sustainable communities. Together, we can meet their aspirations.

No cellphone use in cars.

A "wood first" policy for government projects, where wood will be the default building product choice for interior and exterior. I don't think it applies to drawbridges.
