David Eby’s swearing-in ceremony Friday was intensely focused on reintroducing a key cabinet minister as a premier.
Premier David Eby is taking over from John Horgan in mid-term, and doing so by default, since the NDP disqualified his opponent. So he hasn’t been the subject of as much attention as a leadership contender would normally get.
The ceremony was in his Vancouver-Point Grey riding at the Musqueam First Nation’s centre rather than Victoria’s Government House. It emphasized the on-going Indigenous reconciliation theme and included a blanketing ceremony. He also recommitted — without a specific date — to the annual $400 renter rebate that was promised five years ago.
Eby described what’s coming as a co-ordinated approach by every agency in and outside of government to tackle mental health, homeless and addiction crises. “It’s a remarkable thing, that by passing law, we can open up new rental housing for people. We’re going to do that.”
