B.C. Greens, NDP Working Constructively Despite Challenges, Accord Updates Say

  • As of May 2025, the New Democratic Party led by David Eby, together with the B.C. Greens, continue to uphold a Cooperation and Responsible Government Accord designed to support Eby's narrow one-seat majority.
  • The agreement differs from the 2017 confidence-and-supply deal by allowing the Greens more independence and is based on their backing of the government in return for advancements on a dozen specific issues, such as health services, housing, environmental policies, changes to the electoral system, and addressing tariffs from the U.S.
  • Despite rising disagreements since the 2024 election, especially over the consumer carbon tax and infrastructure Bill 15, both parties report ongoing consultations and shared efforts to address emerging challenges in good faith.
  • The first quarterly update reports an annual investment of $50 million for heat pumps targeting low- and middle-income households, expanded rental assistance aimed at seniors with limited income, an accelerated review of CleanBC initiatives, and revisions to Bill 7 that restricted cabinet authority to bypass legislative oversight.
  • The four-year accord includes annual renewals and quarterly updates, and both parties express confidence in progress while acknowledging much work remains on health care, housing, climate, and democratic reforms.
