The fall sitting for the B.C. Legislature has begun, this time
returning with four parties and two Independents. From the U.S.
trade war to the proposed pipeline from Alberta, the B.C.
government faces a multitude of issues on the agenda, while each
of the parties face their own challenges, including caucus
ejections and new leadership. Three former MLAs and a B.C.
Conservative strategist will make up a panel discussing the
provincial government's agenda. They are: former leader of the
B.C. Green Party Sonia Furstenau, former B.C. United Peace River
South MLA Mike Bernier, former B.C. NDP Burnaby-Lougheed MLA
Katrina Chen, and B.C. Conservative strategist Allie Blades.
Members of the BCGEU are rallying at the legislature as the
labour dispute continues. CBC's Kathryn Marlow goes live in
Victoria to break down the state of negotiations. And, Research
Co. president Mario Canseco joins our second half of the show to
discuss the fall session. He released a new poll detailing
approval ratings for each of the B.C. parties. We ask viewers
about how they think the parties should navigate the upcoming
sitting and what the government needs to prioritize.
