B.C. Premier David Eby announced Tuesday that the province had terminated its contract with Michael Bryant .

Eby said controversy around the consultancy had become a distraction from the work.

Bryant 's six-month contract included $ 150,000 in remuneration and $ 25,000 expenses.

Bryant was paid about $75,000 for his work, but now will not include a final report.

Eby said Bryant had made “important recommendations we will look at developing in the future” Felicella said part of the solution may require helping DTES residents with the most severe needs to get out of the neighbourhood.

“After that treatment, there needs to be a definite landing spot where people have access to housing and other social determinants of health to move forward,” he said.
