Doerkson Tells of ‘Productive Conversation’ with Carney on Supercharging B.C. Economy
Doerkson and Carney agreed to attract investment, create jobs and improve infrastructure as British Columbia’s new government takes shape.
- On Tuesday, Premier-designate Lorne Doerkson and Prime Minister Mark Carney held a virtual meeting, agreeing on the need to supercharge the economy, attract investment, and create good-paying jobs for British Columbians.
- The conversation followed the provincial election where Doerkson's Conservatives won two-thirds of the seats, prompting David Eby to resign as New Democrats leader on Saturday after calling the snap election two years early.
- Addressing investment strategy, the leaders focused on creating competitive conditions for LNG and natural gas to maximize private sector investment, while Doerkson committed to improving infrastructure and managing trade risks for Canada.
- A statement from the Prime Minister's Office confirmed a joint desire for a strong partnership to drive British Columbia's economic future, with Doerkson stating the province 'has an enormous role to play in driving Canada's economic future.'
- New Democrats will meet on Thursday to select an interim leader and 'begin the work of being a strong official Opposition,' while the party plans a 'clear and honest' review of its recent election campaign.
