What to Expect
With the Legislature slated to resume sitting on October 3, the rest of this month will see the teasing of new policies, bills, and announcements. A new NDP leader, and thus new B.C. Premier, will not be chosen until December. As a result, the fall will likely see Premier Horgan solidifying his legacy while also setting the next leader up for success in the next election.
There’ll be a new member when the Legislature returns, as the Surrey-South by-election will be held on Saturday. How the opposition fairs will be a topic of discussion.
Finally, Premier Horgan is expected to announce more affordability measures tomorrow.
The Week That Was
Twenty-five communities will receive $500,000 in grant funding for age-friendly assessments, planning, and projects that will help maintain seniors’ active lives.
The CleanBC Building Innovation Fund is providing $5 million for the third round of funding that will support made-in-B.C. projects focused on energy efficiency and emissions reduction.
