Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sport Minister Melanie Mark said the project was needed for many reasons, including the collection’s safety

. “The cost of doing nothing is a cost that people have to contemplate,” said Mark, who represents a Vancouver riding.Mark said the structural problems with the existing building – including seismic issues – have been known since 2006, when, she pointed out, the BC Liberals were in power.

“It’s unacceptable that, in the middle of an affordability crisis with costs of living higher than ever, John Horgan and the NDP are committing to the most expensive museum project in Canadian history,” Falcon tweeted on Wednesday. “Cancel this now, and invest in people today.” is being constructed outside Victoria in Colwood, at an additional cost of $224-million, where the provincial archives and much of the museum’s collection will be housed. But other artifacts, including Indigenous collections, are to remain at the main site, Mark said.

First of all, that price tag. What else could that money pay for? New schools, more nurses, better pay for family doctors – there is a huge shortage out here.

Wouldnt the billion dollars be better used providing safe drinking water to indigenous communities?

While completely ignoring the countless people in BC who don't have a family physician, proper health care, waiting lists, or a home, or the state of health care, or any of the other countless issues. Yup all that matters is the Horgan EGO museum.

How many shelters and rental units would this money provide. This is not the time for a new museum.

Just withdraw the amount from the taxpayers ATM, no big deal for Horgan and BC NDP

Why not focus on health care or education? Seriously the Royalo Museum can wait. IMO

Woke jokes. People are dying in tent cities, there aren't enough doctors, but yeah, spend a billion rewriting woke history bcndp
