B.C. announces new Regional Integrated Drug Enforcement Team – November 28, 2025

November 28, 2025 at 12:02 pm  Federal, Politics, Video



Gary Anandasangaree, the federal minister of public safety, and David Eby, the premier of British Columbia, announce the creation of a Regional Integrated Drug Enforcement Team (RIDET). Backed by a federal investment of $4 million over four years, provided through Canada’s Border Plan, this team will bring together law and border enforcement resources from multiple jurisdictions to fight organized drug crime and combat extortion.

They are joined at the news conference in Surrey by Ruby Sahota (federal secretary of state for combatting crime), Nina Krieger (B.C. minister of public safety and solicitor general) and John Brewer (B.C. RCMP assistant commissioner).

The premier also responds to questions from reporters on the federal government’s new energy pact with Alberta, which lays the groundwork for a new bitumen pipeline to the B.C. coast.
