It was a rather light four days for participation in the proceedings for the three Northwest representatives when it came to in chamber appearances. 

With both North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice and Skeena MLA Ellis Ross participating virtually in the Chamber, taking advantage of Monday speaking spots during the course of the week's sessions.
