Evidence of the attitude came in comic form on Thursday.
Hints are building up that Premier David Eby’s dismissive, indifferent attitude toward the B.C. legislature is going to be a feature of his government’s term.
But this year the NDP set budget day more than three weeks after the speech on opening day. That is a lot more time to fill than usual. They’ve managed to introduce seven bills so far, but on Thursday the government got caught in a bind. They were prepared to spend the afternoon talking about a procedural change that’s been in the works. But they didn’t get the unanimous consent that was needed.
Two more bills were put on the agenda later, but only to fill up the time next week, since they can’t be debated the same day they are introduced. Another clue about Eby’s attitude to the legislature dropped earlier, when the calendar was posted. It showed the session is only going to run until May 11, a few weeks shorter than usual.
