B.C. NDP and Greens Forge Agreement to Bolster Government Stability

The four-year deal focuses on shared priorities like health care, housing, climate action, and transit expansion, with annual renewals and quarterly progress updates.

The B.C. NDP and Green Party have signed a four-year co-operation agreement to stabilize the NDP's slim majority government, which holds 47 seats in the legislature.
The agreement includes commitments to shared priorities such as expanding mental health care, creating community health centres, and building 30,000 units of non-market housing over four years.
Environmental initiatives in the deal include a review of the CleanBC climate plan, permanent protection of the Fairy Creek watershed, and $50 million annually for heat pump installations in low- and moderate-income households.
The accord also outlines plans to improve regional transit, particularly in underserved areas like the Sea to Sky Corridor, and explore electoral reform through an all-party committee.
While Greens will support the NDP on confidence votes, they retain independence on other issues, with both parties committing to a 'no surprises' approach and regular progress reviews.
