British Columbia premier-in-waiting David Eby has unveiled his transition team as he prepares to take over from John Horgan.
Eby said in a statement that the team brings decades of experience and new perspectives from both the non-profit and private sectors.
The team is being co-chaired by former NDP finance minister Carole James and First Nations negotiator Doug White.
