WATCH: B.C. Premier David Eby said his party is ready to negotiate with the Greens should B.C.'s election deliver a minority government. But he said the Green Party has indicated it's not yet ready to talk.Premier David Eby says “nothing’s off the table” in potential talks with the BC Green Party over a minority government, but that the Greens aren’t yet ready for negotiations.
“Nothing is off the table, we will have those conversations and we will find a way to make the legislature work for British Columbians on the priorities they sent us back to Victoria to work on.”Any potential talks between the two parties may prove to be a moot point, pending the outcome of Elections BC’s final vote count.The preliminary count left the NDP with 46 seats, the BC Conservatives with 45 seats and the BC Greens with two seats. Forty-seven seats are needed for a majority.
Eby did not directly answer when asked how he would overcome any bad blood remaining from the NDP’s decision in 2020 to break its Confidence and Supply Agreement with the Greens and hold an early provincial election.N.B. votes 2024: Liberals win majority government, Holt province’s 1st woman premier“In the mirror, the Greens were encouraging people to reject the NDP and vote for the Greens, that’s how election campaigns go,” Eby said.
