16 years of B.C. Liberal power could be toppled today
VICTORIA — British Columbia’s minority Liberal government is staring at defeat today in the legislature, more than seven weeks after squeaking out a minority government in a provincial election.
If the Liberals fall, Lt.-Gov. Judith Guichon will have to decide whether to dissolve the legislature or allow the NDP to form a minority government with the backing of the Green party.
On Wednesday, Premier Christy Clark said she is ready to tell Guichon the legislature can’t work, if the lieutenant-governor asks for her opinion.
Do you think a provincial election will be called if the B.C. Liberal government falls?
