Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to make an announcement with B.C. Premier David Eby on Wednesday. The Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Disability Inclusion, Carla Qualtrough, will also be in attendance and a joint media availability will follow.

The B.C. government released a budget Tuesday that promises billions in new spending on health, housing and cost-of-living supports, as well as a return to deficits.

The province earmarked $8.7 billion in new program spending and a record $37.5 billion in new capital spending for schools, hospitals and highways over the next three years. The increases in funding come as the province sails into tough economic headwinds, amid high inflation and reduced economic growth projections.

Trudeau's visit comes as provinces across the country are finalizing healthcare funding deals with the federal government, and B.C. is one of the provinces that has yet to sign.
