Opinion: Finance Minister Selina Robinson is hedging her bets on remaining in cabinet. It probably depends on how gracious likely\u002Dto\u002Dbe premier David Eby is in victory
Another key change was installing David Eby, who remained the attorney general, as minister of housing, the post Robinson gave up.
Horgan picked him to take on housing because of the faltering progress on the NDP’s promise of greater affordability. The housing minister, wearing his other hat as attorney general, also chairs the cabinet committee in charge of legislation. As time went on, there were rumblings about clashes in committee between Eby and Robinson, who as finance minister chairs the committee.But confirmation of sorts arrived a few days after the budget when Horgan himself signed a cabinet order removing Eby from Treasury Board.
While some of those failings overlapped with Eby’s tenure as minister, the troubles dated back to the board and management team he inherited from Robinson.Then a week later, he “pushed out” the B.C. Housing board, replacing them with a hand-picked group of experienced public sector managers and a former deputy auditor general.Article content
