B.C. Premier David Eby says his government will overhaul the province’s Mental Health Act in response to the weekend killing of 11 people by an SUV that rammed through a crowded cultural festival in Vancouver.A man who had previously been detained under the act and was under supervision by a health team at the time of the Saturday attack has been charged with eight counts of second-degree murder. Police have said more counts are expected. Some 16 people remain in hospital, including a 22-year-old boy in serious condition.
