The BC Legislature resumes, marked by the Throne Speech setting out the year’s political agenda

MLAs are doing their best to return to the house today for a throne speech that sets the political agenda for the coming months.

But there’s a dark cloud over the legislature, as the allegations revealed by Darryl Plecas have all three parties searching for answers. Sergeant-at-arms Gary Lenz and clerk Craig James have denied any wrongdoing after they were escorted from the legislature last November.

Today’s throne speech will lay out the minority NDP government's priorities for the next session of the legislature, a week before Finance Minister Carole James delivers her next budget.
