### Party platform
Bright Future Vancouver, the party Mangat is running with, sets out five planks: rent-to-own housing with 20 percent equity and local-first housing protections, free transit for residents with faster buses and a path for SkyTrain to UBC, night-shift and 24-hour childcare with a treatment-first crisis response, a 21-day permit rule with cheaper building costs and food access measures, and a 2 percent fair share surcharge funding clean water and lead-free schools.
Evidence & next checks
- Evidence reviewed
- These are the party's published commitments. No statement by Mangat on any of them was found, and the party pages give no cost estimate, legal authority or start date for the free transit, permit and surcharge items, some of which would need provincial agreement.
- What still needs checking
- Whether Mangat states a position on each plank, and which level of government would have to approve each one.
