Elections BC has approved in principle a petition seeking to repeal B.C.'s Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act.

Abbotsford South MLA Bruce Banman has dropped out of the Conservative Party of B.C. leadership race and endorsed Vancouver entrepreneur Yuri Fulmer, as the crowded contest continues to narrow.

The Canada Infrastructure Bank is providing B.C. Ferries an additional $1 billion in low-interest loans to support service upgrades – including the purchase of four new vessels from a Chinese shipyard.

Premier David Eby said it is concerning that no Canadian companies bid on a B.C. Ferries contract to build four new major vessels, but he won't intervene in the company's decision to award the contract to a Chinese state-owned shipyard.
