Premier David Eby announced about 100 new involuntary care beds and a North Coast power line to create jobs and address mental health, addictions, and crime, with crime down 11%, he said.
- On September 26, 2025, B.C. Premier David Eby announced new involuntary care beds in Surrey and Prince George and legislation for the North Coast power line.
- This announcement followed years of pressure from municipal leaders to expand care amid a decades-long housing crisis and rising public disorder in B.C.
- Eby noted the province's crime rate fell 11 percent and highlighted investments addressing homelessness, mental health, and addictions as part of broader crime control efforts.
- Prime Minister Mark Carney recently launched the Build Canada Homes agency, announcing 4,000 new housing units on six federally-owned sites, though none are in B.C., which Robertson calls just the start.
- The new care beds and infrastructure support aim to improve community safety and generate jobs, while Eby expressed hope for federal Criminal Code reforms this fall to further address public disorder.
