NEVER VOTE NDP, the best way is to talk to your MLA
The Opposition NDP, which plans to vote against Bill 22 when it is expected to be brought forward this afternoon to begin second reading, will put up each of its 34 MLAs as speakers and use the maximum time available, said NDP house leader John Horgan.
That could add at least three days to the proceedings and would likely push passage to late next week, if not the week beyond.
Horgan said that’s not a delay, as the government might characterize it, but simply the Opposition doing its job.
“I know all of the members of the NDP caucus feel very passionately about public education,” he said. “This is an opportunity. We were elected to do this job, that's why we come here. It's a game to the premier. It’s life to families and communities right across this province. She wants to play with those lives, that’s her business. We're doing our job as opposition highlighting the deficiencies in their legislation.”
The NDP can slow the bill to a standstill, if it wishes. It could toss in amendments during various stages – a past Opposition tactic – forcing government MLAs to repeatedly run back into the chamber and vote down each attempt.
