BC Greens’ Weaver expected to step down as leader in ‘significant announcement’

The recent illness experienced by B.C. Green Party Leader Andrew Weaver prompted an evaluation of his work-life balance.B.C. Green Party Leader Andrew Weaver is expected to announce his intent to resign as head of the party on Monday, just weeks after a health scare landed him in a hospital emergency room.

An official close to Mr. Weaver, who is not being identified by The Globe and Mail because they were not authorized to speak about this issue, said the announcement would focus on the next stage for the party. He said he expected to return to “full fighting form” after taking a rest. But the experience prompted an evaluation of his work-life balance. “It is important to remember that we must all take time to care for ourselves,” he said later in a statement.

The 2017 election resulted in a deadlock. Mr. Weaver and two new Green MLAs, Sonia Furstenau and Adam Olsen, negotiated a confidence-and-supply agreement with the NDP, which requires that the Greens support the NDP when the confidence of the government is tested – primarily on budget matters. In exchange, the NDP consults with and provides briefings to the Greens on legislation, budgets, senior appointments and policy – within the bounds of cabinet confidentiality.
