Premier David Eby has released the following statement marking International Women’s Day:

A new provincial committee has begun work to remove systemic barriers that make access to government programs and services challenging for racialized people in British Columbia.

Increased BC Family Benefit payments arriving in bank accounts this summer will help families with rising expenses due to inflation.

More affordable rental homes are on the way for people in B.C. as the Province launches a three-year pilot of the new Secondary Suite Incentive Program.  

B.C. is taking action to make illicit drug use illegal in all public spaces, including inside hospitals, on transit and in parks.

Premier David Eby has issued the following statement marking International Women’s Day:

As part of Budget 2024 measures that will increase supply and make homes more affordable and accessible, the Province is taking action against speculators and those who profit from “flipping” homes.

The Province has launched BC Builds to lower construction costs, speed up timelines, and deliver more homes that middle-income people who live and work in B.C. can afford.
