B.C. NDP delegates mull resolutions and mandatory review for Premier David Eby

This weekend, British Columbia's New Democrats meet in Victoria for a leadership review of Premier David Eby and to discuss around 400 resolutions. Eby looks forward to reconnecting with party members but anticipates receiving candid feedback on his leadership. Having previously secured 93% support, he now faces criticism after the party narrowly won the last provincial election. Discontent has emerged among First Nations, environmentalists, and unions regarding policy decisions made by his government. Eby hopes to receive a healthy majority of support, despite acknowledging the ongoing challenges his administration faces.

Resolutions at the convention may lead to new laws, reflecting grassroots initiatives, such as the government's recent coverage of birth control costs. The convention serves as a platform for delegates to voice their concerns and aspirations for the party's direction. Eby's ability to navigate these discussions will be crucial for his leadership and the party's future.
