Eby's cabinet retains seven Islanders, with new attorney general, finance minister

B.C. Premier David Eby’s new cabinet unveiled Wednesday morning retains Vancouver Island’s power base of seven cabinet ministers — though some have new posts. The new appointments were sworn in by Lt.-Gov. Janet Austin at Government House.

Eby said the cabinet represents the diversity of the province. “There are people bringing incredible experience and diversity of perspectives to the table.” Rachna Singh has been appointed education and child care minister, with Victoria-Beacon Hill MLA Grace Lore as minister of state for child care. Lore had been parliamentary secretary for gender equity.

Sheila Malcolmson, MLA for Nanaimo, moves to head the Ministry of Social Development and Poverty Reduction from her former post as minister of mental health and addictions, where she led the effort to reduce toxic drug overdose deaths. “If the pandemic taught us anything, it’s that we can’t solve these problems alone,” said Eby. “We need to solve them together.
