B.C. Premier David Eby has avoided a leadership review after 82.3 percent of delegates attending the B.C. NDP convention on July 15 voted against holding a review.
Out of the 740 delegates at the convention in Victoria, which is running from Nov. 14 to 16, 609 voted against holding a leadership review.
In his speech to the convention on Nov. 15, Eby said his government will be prioritizing resource projects to ensure the province remains prosperous and to “sustain strong public services for generations to come.”
He added that among the projects his government is focused on are the North Coast Transmission Line, meant to power mining, as well as LNG projects in northwest B.C. He also repeated that his government will remain opposed to Ottawa lifting the tanker ban in northwest B.C., something Alberta has been pushing for to enable more oil and gas exports to international markets….
