It’s been one of the wildest weeks in BC politics, so we’ve brought back BC Today’s Shannon Waters to help us understand what led up to and has happened since the Clerk and Sergeant-at-Arms were put on administrative leave.
Plus we look at the various pieces of legislation flying through the House before the legislature rises for the holidays on Tuesday.
Follow Shannon @BCTodayOfficial (work) and @sobittersosweet
