B.C. candidates highlight health care, economy as election continues
VANCOUVER — The leaders of British Columbia’s main political parties are taking shots at one another over health care and the economy as the election campaign continues ahead of the provincial vote on May 9.
NDP Leader John Horgan was in the Lower Mainland yesterday, saying his party would create team-based urgent care centres to help people who can’t find family doctors.
The Liberals pledged in their 2010 and 2013 campaigns to find a family doctor for every British Columbian who wanted one, but the government conceded two years ago that they would not meet their target.
