You're not the chair of this committee, so I suggest turning your mic off. >> You aren't either. >> Reporter: along with rcmp and border services instead hibl MPs move to deal with an earlier debate introduced by the tories.

They're not interested in allowing their ministers to testify on this matter. >> It's part of an ongoing dispute at the public safety committee on what it should work on. The subcommittee agreed on an agenda then conservatives tabled a motion to amend that agenda. But instead of voting on it, tory spoke at length over two meetings preventing a vote. Liberals say if it's so important they're ready to vote on it now. >> Chair, mr. Janus can't continue to make the same motion over and over he wants to hear from ministers we have no speakers up.

This sunday at 10:00 P.M. only on citytv. >> It seems the city of surrey's desire to stop the policing transition to a municipal police force has hit another speed bump, with the B.C. supreme court siding with the province and completing the transition. Our kate walker has more. >> Today justice lou. >> The surrey policing transition process we heard from public safety minister mike farnworth that the B.C. supreme court has sided with the province. Effectively throwing out the city's plan to keep rcmp as the police force of jurisdiction. His messaging very clear, the people of surrey want this over no the ruling comes after surrey mayor brenda locke submitted a review of farnworth it's july 2023 order that the rcmp must be replaced by the surrey police service. Gave her season thes on the court's decision thursday. >> I haven't said we are going to appeal and I haven't said we are not going to appeal. >> The petition launched in october of last year argued that the province didn't have the authority to impose the transition to a police force under the police act. >> I think what we really want now is the city of surrey to realise that the decision by the court has been made the transition to the surrey police service will continue. And I would like them to be at the table to work with the province. The rcmp, and the surrey police service to ensure that this transition completes quickly. And spootly. >> Premier david eby echoing that message. >> This is a huge relief for the people of surrey who just want this done. I want this done. Everybody wants this done. >> And mixed reviews from surrey residents. >> Surrey has gotten a lot better especially with the drug problems and all the activity, they've done so much good lately. >> I think it's taxes are going to go up significantly. >> The decision means the transition will move forward as planned with the sps set to become the police of jurisdiction later this year on november 29th. >> Make no mistake, if we had stayed with the rcmp, if we would have been able to do what the premier told us we could do. We wouldn't be running with two place forces today. It's really good that they're building low income housing here because I think that would benefit so many people moo the B.C. government announcing more below market rental units in metro vancouver to help battle

housing crisis. >> London drug says has now been leaked. In a statement to CityNews, the company confirmed that some files that could contain personal employee information has been released. Perpetrators claiming to be behind the attack which shuttered stores for days, have been demanding 25 million dollar change for the data threatening to release it if demands are not met. London drugs has said it would not pay the ransom something one expert said was the right thing to do. >> London drugs made absolutely the right decision in refusing to pay or they would have gotten an exchange for their money from the seener criminals, bad faith actors that would be destroyed. Never reason to believe that they would actually do that. And there's ample evidence that they do not. Law enforcement was actualy unable to hack into the infrastructure. A couple of months ago. And they found stolen from organizations that had actually paid to have that data deleted. >> London drugs says the incident is deeply distressing and it will continue to support employees who have been impacted. More classroom spaces have been announced for a local elementary schools in surrey but it's just a drop in the hat for parents who say more should be done in the province's fastest growing school district.

No the need for most student space is crucial. >> On thursday b.c.'s education minister announced that a will be getting six prefabricated classrooms. They will accommodate 250 students, but they won't be ready until september 20 at a. No the prefabricated a additions will deliver quality learning environments, that get students into open spacious classrooms more quickly. With the use of prefab, it can be cut in half making a big difference in delivering more spaces sooner for kids. >> Well, it's another one of these things where it's trying to play catchup. >> Capacity has been an ongoing issue in surrey which has been experiencing major growth. Earlier this year the school board announced it would be extending school days to ease the pressure while some schools have stopped enrollment. Even for students living because of overpopulation. >> Kids using the play grounds in shifts. It means weird lunchtime schedules. It means weird schedules to have assemblies, because you can't fit everybody in the gym at once. >> The district advisory council says it wants to see the province build more schools. While construction is under way for two new elementary schools in surrey, it says it's not enough somebody the education minister acknowledged. >> This work is not finished yet. Like much has been done much more that we need to do. >> In surrey, monika gul, CityNews. >> Nima: hundreds more affordable homes are coming. By premier david eby. More on the second phase of a housing partnership between the province and metro vancouver. >> I think without housing I don't know how far mom would have gone. I don't know if we would be here today.
