MLA's Week: May 9-12, 2022



This was a fairly light week for participation from Northwest MLA's in the seven sessions of the BC Legislature, with only the Skeena MLA Ellis Ross having an active role in the Chamber with a number of appearances and commentaries through the first three of the four days of Legislature work.

On the week there are no notations on contribution to the proceedings in the Chamber by the North Coast or Stikine MLA's, other than when there was a call for a vote on Bills that the government is moving forward.

All three MLA's were busy however  through their Social media feeds, with a range of themes explored and messages delivered through the week.
