Surrey city council is calling for a full public inquiry into Metro Vancouver.
Council unanimously supported the motion on Monday night, citing concerns over the governance and accountability of the regional government.
Surrey is also raising concerns about what the city calls “wasteful” use of taxpayer-owned assets and alleging Metro Vancouver’s various boards and entities are withholding important financial, environmental and engineering information from city staff.
The motion calls for the Greater Vancouver Water and Sewage Districts to be included in the investigation.
“We are going to hand it over to the province to deal with this issue,” Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke said.
“We know we have a problem in Metro Vancouver, a structural problem, a governance problem, and it is not getting remedied.”

B.C.’s Municipal Affairs Minister said the province could step in if needed.
“It continues to be my hope that the elected leaders at Metro Vancouver bring forward their own recommendations to resolve the challenges that are being faced there,” Christine Boyle said.
“If they aren’t able to do that, then the province has been clear that we will look at our options for stepping in.”
GROW SOME BALLS BRENDA, AND BREAK THE CHORD WITH THESE CORRUPT SNAKES. METRO
Yes, let’s audit Metro Vancouver
But time for global to start calling out Surrey
1) Linda Annis calling the police chief’s private number to help out her elite Morgan crossing neighbourhood
Either we all get the chief’s number or she crossed a line as a servicing council member.
2) STOP WORK ORDERS; reporters, come on down to the Sullivan Stayion neighborhood; SWO are Years old!
Faded, falling off. All of these homes are not paying taxes on structures they illegally built. Yet, Brenda is raising taxes, Why not fine and tax!
Audit the reason why!
I thought they’d never ask! An audit of these thieves is long over due. The long tall drink of water can’t even look at anyone in the room. The part is over.. it’s been a long one. An audit ? Is there anyone left that can do one? Like yesterday.
