New Cabinet Ready To Deliver On The Priorities Of British Columbians

Premier David Eby has appointed a new cabinet, combining what the Premier says is years of experience and fresh perspectives from outside of government.

“At a time when there is a lot of worry and uncertainty about the future, British Columbians have asked us to work together and get things done that make a real difference in their daily lives,” said Premier Eby.

“This experienced and capable team will be focused on addressing the priority issues we heard loud and clear from British Columbians. We’re honoured to have been given the opportunity to tackle these serious challenges.”

The NDP says the new cabinet’s top priorities will be bringing down costs for families, strengthening health care, making communities safer and growing the economy.

Foundational to this work, the Party says, is a commitment to build partnerships with Indigenous communities and take action on climate change.

The biggest change from the last cabinet will see former Health Minister Adrian Dix move to Energy and Climate Solutions. Josie Osborne takes over in Health.

The new cabinet includes more women than men; 23 ministers and four ministers of state and is supported in its work by 14 parliamentary secretaries.

• Premier: David Eby
