Opposition leaders attack NDP leader John Horgan's snap election call amid a record number of COVID-19 cases

Leaders of British Columbia's three main parties are in the home stretch of the election campaign, with only today and tomorrow left to woo votes.

NDP Leader John Horgan says his party has committed the most money for health care and that will help navigate the response to the second wave of COVID-19.

The leader of British Columbia's N-D-P is firing back after Green party Leader Sonia Furstenau called Saturday's election ``unsafe'' in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

John Horgan says he listened to the province's top doctor as well as officials with Elections B-C, who told him an election could be held safely.

Green party leader Furstenau told supporters in Sidney the number of COVID-19 infections had been on the rise when Horgan decided last month to send voters to the polls a year early.

She points out that B-C set a new daily high for infections at 203 yesterday, while reporting the first outbreak at a school in Kelowna.

Sonia Furstenau promised to establish a long-term food sustainability strategy by expanding land used for food production and enhancing access to high-quality food for low-income residents.

Liberal Leader Andrew Wilkinson is scheduled to make stops at businesses in Delta, Coquitlam and Vancouver before a rally in Richmond.

Andrew Wilkinson also says older people have been hardest hit by the pandemic and it may be more difficult for them to vote this year.
