Eby says B.C. is at a ‘pivot point’ as he promises future based on natural resources
Premier David Eby highlights natural resource projects including the North Coast Transmission Line to create 10,000 jobs and generate public wealth through equity stakes.
- On Friday, British Columbia Premier David Eby told delegates at the B.C. NDP convention in Victoria that the province finds itself at a pivot point between a fading old order and an undefined new one.
- Eby proposed fast-tracking natural-resource projects such as the North Coast Transmission Line, saying it will create 10,000 good jobs with less pollution while turning resources into wealth.
- Eby proposed negotiating public equity stakes, delegates backed this to maximise returns for British Columbians, and he said his government is pushing Ottawa to attract defence spending to rebuild shipbuilding industry.
- Almost 83 per cent of delegates avoided calling for a leadership review by not asking one, with 609 of 740 ballots opposed, a weaker showing than over 93 per cent two years ago.
- After BC Ferries contracted a Chinese state-owned shipyard, delegates pushed to build ferries in Canada, urging local jobs and backing by the BC Federation of Labour and BC Building Trade.
