Brenda Bailey, who represented Vancouver-South Granville since 2020, will not be running again. She held the position of minister of jobs, economic development and innovation.\n\nBailey disclosed in August that she had been diagnosed with early-stage, treatable cancer and had undergone surgery. Despite the diagnosis, she revealed that she is now cancer-free and deeply grateful for the support she has received from friends, family, and strangers. Bailey expressed her happiness to announce this positive update.\n\nShe acknowledged receiving abundant support from various sources, crediting her accomplishments in her various portfolios. Bailey emphasized her pride in creating and safeguarding jobs, promoting B.C.'s technology, innovation, and life sciences sectors, and bringing the Web Summit to Vancouver. This event placed B.C.'s innovators, entrepreneurs, and technology companies on the global stage.\n\nBailey expressed her gratitude to David Eby for his leadership and affirmed her commitment to the BC NDP campaign trail, despite her decision not to run for re-election. She joins a growing list of departing ministers, including Ravi Kahlon, Lana Popham, and Kelly Greene, who have also announced their decisions not to seek re-election.",
