Overview
- Delegates voted roughly 82%–83% against a leadership review, giving David Eby a solid mandate at the Victoria convention.
- Eby spotlighted the North Coast Transmission Line to power mining and LNG, repeating he would not rule out calling an early election if enabling legislation is blocked.
- Delegates approved a resolution urging Ottawa to preserve the northern oil-tanker ban and to expedite the transmission line.
- Labour leaders said relations remain strained after the eight-week BCGEU strike, with public-sector bargaining continuing, including talks with the B.C. Nurses' Union.
- Environmental and youth delegates warned the resource push could drive voters to the Greens or Conservatives, as Eby clarified BC Hydro will own the line with First Nations offered equity and no public equity is planned in Ksi Lisims LNG or LNG Canada.
