British Columbia's Green Party says the NDP government needs to "explain why" its proposal for broad-reaching emergency cabinet powers is needed before its two members support the legislation.
The BC Greens are criticizing the NDP's proposed Bill 7, arguing its "vague wording" grants overly broad emergency powers to the cabinet to address foreign actions or support the economy without legislative debate. They intend to propose amendments for transparency and accountability. The BC Conservatives also oppose the bill, while Premier Eby defends it as necessary for extraordinary situations.
