VANCOUVER — A confidence agreement between British Columbia's New Democrats and the provincial Green Party stabilizes David Eby’s bare-majority government, while putting Green election promises on the legislative agenda.
Deputy premier Niki Sharma said the framework focuses on areas of agreement between the two parties, while recognizing their positions won't always align. "I know that we'll have differences of opinions moving forward, but the fact that we can show a pathway where two political parties in a time of great polarization can come together for British Columbians, I think is a profound thing."
When he was asked about the agreement on Friday, Rustad said he has always assumed the Greens would back the NDP. "A week can be a long time in politics, so we'll see what January brings. I don't want to say anything further at this point."
