Premier Christy Clark is sticking to her position that she will not advise Lt. Gov. Judith Guichon to call an election if her government falls on Thursday.

But Clark expects to be asked if there is any viable alternative, and her answer is no.

B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 not my intention to advise her that she should call an election,B次元官网网址� Clark told reporters Wednesday afternoon. B次元官网网址淭hatB次元官网网址檚 her decision. But in conversations between a premier and a Lieutenant Governor at moments like this, she will probably ask me some questions.

B次元官网网址淎nd if she she asks me, do I think this legislature is working, or do I think that it can work, I gotta be honest. It isnB次元官网网址檛 working. ThereB次元官网网址檚 no effort on the part of either [opposition] party to work together.

B次元官网网址淭his isnB次元官网网址檛 a working legislature, and I havenB次元官网网址檛 seen any evidence that it could work.B次元官网网址�

NDP leader John Horgan has demanded daily that Clark allow a vote of confidence in the B.C. legislature, which resumed with a throne speech June 22.

That speech was filled with promises that the B.C. Liberals campaigned against before the May 9 vote, including eliminating bridge tolls in Metro Vancouver and increasing temporary income assistance rates across the board. Horgan made a formal motion of non-confidence Wednesday, and it is expected to come to a vote Thursday afternoon.

To start this week, the B.C. Liberal government tabled two bills that were supported by the opposition, banning corporate and union donations to political parties and extending official party status to the three-member B.C. Green Party caucus.

Both bills were voted down by the combined NDP and Green MLAs at first reading, stopping them from even officially being considered. NDP house leader Mike Farnworth said the two votes against the B.C. Liberal legislation show that the alliance of the two opposition parties can work.

Green Party leader Andrew Weaver said he would not support any B.C. Liberal legislation, even that which provides his party with more staff and speaking time in the B.C. legislature, until a confidence vote has taken place.

The B.C. Greens and NDP signed an agreement after the election that requires the Greens to support the NDP in votes of confidence.

The tradition is for the QueenB次元官网网址檚 representative to seek advice from the first minister, which Clark continues to be until another B.C. premier is designated.
