The one commitment that bears on it directly is a promise to make permitting faster and easier, which sits under "Restoring Vancouver". We looked for a housing target, an affordable housing commitment and a rental protection policy on the party website on September 22, 2026 and found none published. This is a finding about the published platform on that date, and it is not a statement about what ABC would do in office. 1 PUBLISHED COMMITMENT ## What they say they will do - ### Make City Hall permitting faster and easier The platform commits to making permitting faster and easier and to continuing to streamline City Hall operations.
Who has the power
