The BC Green Caucus will not be renewing the Cooperation and Responsible Government Accord (CARGA) with the BC NDP. 

“The BC Greens entered the CARGA agreement in good faith because British Columbians needed stability and results,” said Rob Botterell, BC Greens MLA for Saanich North and the Islands. 

“But when the BC NDP failed to deliver on clear 2025 commitments—commitments they agreed to complete—it raised serious questions about their ability to execute, and it broke the trust that agreement depended on.”

“This government is increasingly centralized, less collaborative, and less willing to work with partners,” said Jeremy Valeriote, BC Greens MLA for West Vancouver - Sea to Sky. “We’ve seen it in legislation, in labour disputes, in failed consultations and reports not acted upon. In the legislature, this BC NDP has been closed to amendments and compromise.

“Effective governments work well with others—they don’t sideline them.”

“The NDP’s fiscal situation is not an excuse for broken commitments,” added Botterell. “We brought forward solutions, including serious revenue options. The consequences of this government’s fiscal choices shouldn’t be downloaded onto working British Columbians, and that’s who we negotiated for in our CARGA priorities.

“Under Premier Eby, this government has chosen the status quo over courageous action. It has chosen corporate welfare over community solutions.” 

“On climate, Indigenous rights, civil liberties, and other core issues, the gap between our parties is clear and growing. We offered stability and bold action; the BC NDP chose instability and status quo,” added Valeriote.

“Our agreement with the BC NDP is now over, but our agreement with the people of British Columbia is as strong as ever. We’ll keep fighting for affordability, climate action, Indigenous rights and a responsible government that works for all British Columbians.”
