Recall petition against Premier Eby fails
Salvatore Vetro launched the petition on Jan. 17 against Eby over Bill 36, the Health Professions and Occupations Act, an act intended to spark sweeping changes to the oversight of medical professionals in the province.Vetro’s initial submission to Elections BC appears to draw a comparison between Eby and the former leaders of Nazi Germany, claiming Eby to be a dictator and predicting a collapse of the provincial health-care system unless the government repeals the bill.
The act has received criticism from bodies representing medical professionals, including British Columbia Medical Association representing doctors. The association argued during the legislative process that the bill would threaten the autonomy of the profession, politicize college board decisions and raise costs.
“I have no comment,” Vetro said, when asked about the outcome. He also declined to answer why he did not submit the paperwork by the deadline. Vetro worked as a bus driver and is now pursuing a career in acting following his retirement. Vetro also ran as an independent candidate in Vancouver-Kensington during the 2020 provincial election, where he won 202, or less than one per cent, of the vote.
