British Columbia Premier David Eby has scheduled a meeting with the B.C. Greens as he prepares to form government, a day after securing the barest of majorities in a legislature where every vote will count.

"Our goal is to work with any MLA who wants to make sure that this place works for British Columbians on those priorities that I laid out — cost of living, housing, health care, what matters to British Columbians," he said. Eby's NDP finally won the Oct. 19 election on Monday after a count of absentee votes lifted the party to 47 seats, while the Conservatives held 44 ridings and the Greens had two.
But there are still two judicial recounts coming next month in a pair of tight ridings, one of which went to the NDP and one to the Conservatives.
