B.C. Premier David Eby will be leaving for his trade mission to China on Saturday, but will be flying home a few days early.
He says he has been asked by the federal government to be available in early July for an announcement of a finalized memorandum of understanding (MOU) to speed up the delivery of critical infrastructure and major projects.
There have been no details released about the MOU, but Eby has been clear that his attention is on the province.
“We’re focusing our conversations on B.C. projects, major infrastructure projects like the Massey Tunnel and federal participation in the North Coast Transmission Line,” Eby said on Thursday.

“It’s going to create economic opportunity across the province. We’re not focusing on Alberta’s projects; that’s something Alberta’s MOU did, so that’s the nature of the conversations and I’m hoping to have more to share in early July around an agreement with the prime minister.”
Carney is also expected to be back in B.C. next week.
“This is a moment where the federal government is looking to get more support from British Columbia and B.C. is looking to wrest some concessions out of the federal government,” said Kathryn Harrison, a professor of political science at the University of British Columbia.
“I think both of them would want to see that as soon as possible after we get more of those details on next steps on the pipeline.”
treason
Unelected socialist goes on unsolicited vacation to China to bring Canada closer to our biggest domestic security threat, while simultaneously insisting that access to our coastline is entirely under his control. Eby needs a serious dose of reality. SoB lives in a world where he gets whatever he wants, and everyone else can shove it
Just another day in the life of the Treasonous Pro-Communist Leftist Politicians of Chinada.
He should be arrested for working with the Chinese Communist Party, as should any Canadian that sets foot in China.
Phuck Eby
Don’t come back Eby.
You are not welcome here anymore.
