So Ric McIver was just kicked out of the legislature this afternoon.
Quote:
Tory Leader Ric McIver was ordered to leave the legislative assembly Monday after he challenged a ruling by Speaker Bob Wanner, claiming a copy of the decision was circulated in the house before the speaker heard any argument.
McIver eventually marched out with several fellow PC MLAs shortly after 5 p.m. after refusing several requests from Wanner to either sit down or leave.
“I will not sit down unless you reverse the ruling that you made,” McIver told Wanner before he was escorted out by the Sergeant of Arms Brian Hodgson.
The interim Progressive Conservative leader told Postmedia he didn’t know when he would return.
“I am new at this, sir,” he said.”I have no idea what happens next. The dignity of the house must be upheld, full stop.”
