We\u2019re building the new hospital in Cloverdale now, and we\u2019ve committed to working with the City on another new health care facility in Surrey, with a municipal offer of land. I look forward to working with the mayor-elect to move it forward.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA re-elected BC NDP government will also bring in a 30-day Small Builder Permit Guarantee, work with the federal government to lower development cost charges, and implement standardized, province-wide technical code and permit application requirements for small residential builds, to bring down costs for homebuilders and so more homes get built for Surrey families, sooner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOn SkyTrain to Newton, I welcome that conversation. Newton is growing fast, and the people who live and work there deserve fast, reliable transit. I\u2019m glad to sit down with the mayor-elect McCallum, Prime Minister [Mark] Carney, TransLink and the Mayors\u2019 Council to talk about what it would take.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSurrey voters asked for results. That\u2019s what we\u2019ll work on together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eby said: \u201cCongratulations to Doug McCallum on his election as Mayor of Surrey, and to the councillors and school trustees elected last night. Thank you to Brenda Locke for four years of service to the city, and to every candidate who put their name forward.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\n\tRelated<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"David Eby PREMIER David Eby said on Sunday that he had a good conversation with Surrey mayor-elect Doug&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":938679,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194299],"tags":[49,48,87674],"class_list":["post-938678","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-surrey","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-surrey"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/938678","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=938678"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/938678\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/938679"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=938678"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=938678"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=938678"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
