It’s no surprise that local MLAs Shirley Bond and Mike Morris have found a spot in the BC Liberals’ shadow cabinet.
Leader Kevin Falcon has picked the Prince George-Valemount MLA as the shadow minister for health, seniors services and long-term care. Prince George Mackenzie MLA Mike Morris has been named shadow minister for public safety and solicitor general.
“While the NDP may have anointed a new premier and grown the size of cabinet, British Columbians still haven’t seen things improve after continued NDP inaction on the important issues facing people in every corner of our province,” Falson said. “Our BC Liberal Caucus remains committed to holding them to account for that lack of action in areas like healthcare, affordability, and public safety, all while continuing to push government for bold responses to the various crises we must collectively tackle.
“As the Official Opposition, we have a responsibility to make sure David Eby and the NDP are held accountable for their decisions in government and I’m excited to name new opposition shadow ministers today to do just that.”
