Eby says the budget the government tables Tuesday will continue investing in health care, housing and affordability.
B.C. Premier David Eby announces a new public safety plan in Vancouver on Sunday, Nov. 20, 2022.
“Maybe we should not be putting resources into disaster prevention,” he said. “Maybe we shouldn’t be putting resources into investing into municipal infrastructure for fast-growing communities. That would be different politically, perhaps between us and the other party, the B.C. Liberals.”“Our priorities are your priorities, and the budget will reflect them,” he said at a news conference where he reflected on his first 100 days in office.
The premier earlier sidestepped reports the government will soon introduce a $1 billion mental health and addiction treatment program, saying helping vulnerable people get opportunities to restart their lives has always been a top priority. He said he will look to see if the budget increases access to family doctors, improves wait times at walk-in clinics and ensures people are safe in their communities.
