So Premier Horgan was unaware for 10 months that the speaker heB次元官网网址檇 personally appointed was . If this isnB次元官网网址檛 plausible deniability, then itB次元官网网址檚 certainly long past the time when the premier should have been woke.

Since the legislature is clearly struggling to keep their house in order, perhaps itB次元官网网址檚 time for a citizenB次元官网网址檚 watchdog to be appointed. And how about we get that MLA recall legislation dusted off too.
