The election of Doerkson represents a massive geographic realignment for the province, breaking a decades-long streak of Premiers originating from the Lower Mainland or Vancouver Island.
Premier David Eby said allegations in a leaked memo that former B.C. Conservative MLAs blackmailed party staff and members are “serious” and must be investigated.
“Premier-designate Doerkson has spoken clearly about the importance of forestry communities, getting more wood moving, accelerating permitting and restoring investment,” said Kim Haakstad, President and CEO of COFI.
