Unclear whether that's actually in line with the party constitution
Per the release, Trevor Halford selected to serve as interim leader #bcpoli

Metro Vancouver mayors have to figure out — and soon — whether they can agree to raise property taxes to meet the unmet gap in transit funding, or hope for a better deal later this year and suffer the consequences if it doesn’t happen
We've been getting a lot of questions about the federal funding announcement today. Does it address TransLink's operating deficit?
Short answer: no.
Long answer: check out this article on CTV News.
