Eby’s new B.C. cabinet builds speculation about early election call, says expert
Political pundits are expecting Premier David Eby to appoint new cabinet ministers who have fire in their bellies for the challenging jobs ahead, and the possibility of an early election call.
“My working theory of the shuffle is tied to what I believe is an election in 2023,” he said in an interview. Private sector forecasters downgraded their projections this week, anticipating B.C.’s economy to grow 2.9 per cent this year and dipping to 0.4 per cent next year. “I think we’re going to see something that puts the right people or retains the right people in these key positions,” he said. “I just don’t see a transformative, new cabinet in light of the fact he wants to act quickly. He needs seasoned people in these positions.”
Jobs Minister Ravi Kahlon and ministers of state Katrina Chen and Bowinn Ma are likely to receive cabinet promotions, said Black, adding that he’ll be watching who Eby places in the important portfolios of attorney general, housing and in the energy ministries.Former New Democrat member of the legislature Maurine Karagianis said the housing minister should be a person with experience and a reputation for taking on challenges.
She said she expects Eby to promote some younger NDP members to cabinet positions, replacing some older ministers who may not run in the next election, but not a total remake.
