Premier’s new cabinet to be sworn in November 18

When all the dust finally settles on the 2024 BC Election, Premier David Eby and his cabinet will finally get the chance to be sworn-in later this month.

The ceremony will take place on November 18th in Victoria at Government House.

“Judicial recounts will ensure every vote is counted,” Premier Eby said.

“Following those counts, British Columbians want to see urgent action taken on their priorities, including affordability and housing, strengthening health care and building strong communities within a vibrant economy. The first step is swearing in a new cabinet for British Columbia.”

The transition period spans from the results of the election until the swearing in of a new cabinet. During that time, the transition team will make recommendations to the Premier regarding the formations of ministries and structures across government, as well as the selection of new cabinet ministers.

The Premier will present his recommendations for cabinet to Janet Austin, B.C.’s Lieutenant Governor, thereby establishing the new government.

Newly elected MLAs will be sworn in and formally invited to take their seats in the legislature prior to this. The Opposition caucus and BC Green Party MLAs are scheduled to be sworn in on Nov. 12.

Government caucus MLAs will be sworn in the following day (November 13).
