n June, Plecas told The Province he’d been approached for the job and wouldn’t do it without the support of his Liberal caucus. “The notion of us (the Liberals) putting up someone for Speaker under the current circumstances is ridiculous,” Plecas told columnist Mike Smyth at the time. “In fact, I would go further to say that it would be an outright manipulation of the democratic process.”
NDP Premier John Horgan said Plecas has “his full support” in the new job.

Good to see that he showed his level of integrity.

The Liberal MLAs refused to clap in the legislature as Plecas assumed the job Friday morning. Green leader Andrew Weaver said Coleman’s refusal to congratulate Plecas, the refusal of MLAs to clap, was “classless.” He said Plecas had integrity and is widely-respected among MLAs, and that the legislature will still be able to function.

Legible.
