B.C. NDP Leader David Eby speaks to reporters after a leaders debate at radio station CKNW, in Vancouver, on Oct. 2.New Democrat Leader David Eby says he will help British Columbia households with a $1,000 grocery rebate, in an election platform that mentions rival B.C. Conservative Party Leader John Rustad more than 50 times.
“I would just say to Mr. Wilson people are struggling out there and we need to provide support to them.”campaign platform promises to find solutions to “today’s tough challenges,” Eby said at a news conference at the home of Surrey NDP candidate Baltej Dhillon, a former RCMP officer who was the first Mountie in Canada permitted to wear a turban on duty.
Eby said the grocery rebate aims to help as many people as possible because previous government rebate and relief measures required income tests or having auto insurance or paying hydro bills. Rustad’s plans would double the cost of car insurance for young people and result in home care cuts for older people, said Eby, adding the B.C. Conservative leader was part of previous B.C. Liberal governments that implemented drastic service reductions.Rustad has announced several economic initiatives in recent days, and on Wednesday introduced a plan to end the provincial insurance corporation’s monopoly on basic vehicle insurance.
A statement from the Conservatives says they would eliminate B.C.’s nearly $9-billion deficit within two terms of government and require voter approval of any new taxes, through referendum or an election.
