Conservative BC published a set of Surrey-specific election commitments on October 22, 2026, saying it would extend SkyTrain to Newton Town Centre, build a 10-lane replacement for the Massey Tunnel, and build or complete two hospitals in Surrey, two days before the October 24 vote.

The release was published on the party's own website at conservativebc.ca. The release is titled the "Surrey Success Plan." Party leader Lorne Doerkson said: "Surrey has been doing more than its share for this province, and for nine years the NDP has given it nothing but empty promises. The Surrey Success Plan changes that. We will deliver SkyTrain to Newton, a new bridge, a finished hospital and a new hospital for women and children, and we will build them on time and on budget." Those are his own words as quoted in the party's release.

The plan lists four commitments. First, a SkyTrain extension along King George Boulevard to Newton Town Centre. The release says a light rail plan for Newton was ended in 2018. The party has not published a timeline or cost for the SkyTrain extension in this release. Second, a new 10-lane George Massey Bridge to replace the existing tunnel. The party says the new bridge would cut commutes by up to 30 minutes. The party has not published an independent cost estimate in this release; those figures are its own.

Third, completing the Surrey Hospital in Cloverdale. The party says the NDP committed $1.7 billion for the hospital but that the project has been delayed to 2030 and has had over $1 billion in budget overruns. Those cost and delay figures are the party's own claims. The NDP did not respond to them in the Conservative BC release, and this site did not seek a response for this article.

Fourth, a new Women and Children's Hospital in Surrey. The release does not give a location, a cost, or an opening date for this hospital. Those are the party's own commitments as stated on its website.

The release also says BC's population growth and the need to expand LNG production back the economic case for these investments. The release does not name specific LNG projects in Surrey. The party has not attached independent cost estimates to any of the four commitments in this release.
