British Columbia Liberals lose confidence vote
VICTORIA — British Columbia’s minority Liberal government was defeated Thursday in a non-confidence vote in the legislature, setting the stage for the NDP to govern or for another election.
No members of the legislature broke ranks as the Greens backed the New Democrats’ non-confidence motion to defeat Premier Christy Clark’s government.
The Liberals lost the vote 44-42. As the presiding officer in the legislature, the Speaker did not vote.
