Premier David Eby addressed delegates at UBCM Thursday afternoon
Ways of combating public disorder in B.C.'s downtown cores will be a central plank for the NDP in the upcoming provincial election.
He made this promise during the scripted part of his appearance before delegates representing 180 municipal and First Nations governments from across the province. Eby also hinted at policy changes around transit for youth during a question-and-answer session with UBCM President Coun. Trish Mandewo of Coquitlam, who was relayed questions from delegates.
"There is serious work that we need to do on health care," he said."It's not meeting your expectations and it's not meeting my expectations." An emphasis on a handful of ridings raises questions of how Eby's government will campaign and ultimately govern in rural and northern regions.
