David Eby Announces Diverse New B.C. Cabinet

Following his re-election, B.C. Premier David Eby unveiled a significantly reshuffled cabinet with a focus on addressing key issues such as affordability, healthcare, and public safety. The cabinet includes new faces and reassignments, with Adrian Dix moving from Health to Energy, and Mike Farnworth transitioning from Public Safety to Transportation. Notably, there are more women than men in this cabinet, reflecting the province's diversity. The Ministry of Mental Health and Addiction has been eliminated, with responsibilities folded into the Ministry of Health. The cabinet, which consists of 27 ministers and 14 parliamentary secretaries, aims to tackle issues such as building partnerships with Indigenous communities and climate action. This reshuffle marks a strategic effort to address the concerns of British Columbians amid economic and social challenges.
