VANCOUVER – British Columbia’s new prime minister is set to announce plans to improve public safety in the state amid concerns over random crime.
The state’s 37th prime minister, David Eby, took office on Friday.
He promised that his first day in office would see the launch of an NDP government plan to tackle the state’s thorny ongoing problems of public safety and affordable housing.
Eby said it would likely take 18 months to two years for the government to deliver on its priorities of health care, public safety, affordable housing and a clean and sustainable economy. , people will see the effort start soon.
He said legislation to improve affordable housing is due to be introduced on Monday.
The 46-year-old succeeded fellow Democrat John Hogan, who announced in June last year that he was resigning for health reasons.
