The housing crisis in British Columbia will receive the attention of a dedicated place at the government’s cabinet table, new Premier David Eby announced, as the Opposition raised concerns about his own management of the brief.
Eby, who is set to set to announce his cabinet Dec. 7, said Tuesday he would appoint the first stand-alone housing minister to add more focus to the New Democrat government’s plan to deliver more affordable housing to the province.
