"I can't walk down the street now without someone coming up to me and saying, 'So are you the premier or is she the premier? What's going on?' " he said earlier Wednesday. "I think we need to get certainty. It's well over a month since election day. People want to know. Let's get on with it."

VICTORIA – BC Liberal leader Christy Clark is trying to pad her last cheque as Premier by getting every extra dollar of that salary by continuing to delay the inevitable end of her reign by now setting the confidence vote to bring her down by the end of June.

“By the time Christy Clark finally gets to work on June 22, it will be more than six weeks since British Columbians voted overwhelmingly to replace her. I’m surprised it’s taken Christy Clark this long, but I’m hopeful she will agree to test the confidence of the house immediately so British Columbians get the new government they voted for,” said New Democrat leader John Horgan.

“British Columbians are ready for a new government that works for them instead of the people at the top. And I’m ready to deliver it.”

MLAs have been called back to the BC legislature on June 22, setting the stage for a showdown between the ruling Liberals and two opposition parties that want to defeat them.

Clark has said she expects to lose a confidence vote in the house after the New Democrats and Greens reached an agreement to allow the NDP to form a minority government.

No party won a majority of seats in a provincial election last month. The Liberals won 43 seats in the 87-seat legislature, with the NDP winning 41 seats and the Greens three.

The results left Clark with a tenuous grip on power and spelled the likely end for the Liberals' 16 years in government.

Government House Leader Mike de Jong says the first order of business will be to elect a Speaker.

"After which, and in the aftermath of a very close election, the government will seek to determine if it continues to enjoy the confidence of the house, he said in a statement Wednesday.

Before de Jong made the announcement, Horgan expressed his frustration about the length of time it was taking the Liberals to recall the legislature.

"I can't walk down the street now without someone coming up to me and saying, 'So are you the premier or is she the premier? What's going on?' " he said earlier Wednesday.

"I think we need to get certainty. It's well over a month since election day. People want to know. Let's get on with it."

Clark and her party is expected to play further games with the selection of a Speaker, who is in charge of enforcing the rules in the legislature and only votes in the event of a tie, and even then only to maintain the status quo, as per tradition.

Clark will have to select one of her MLAs as Speaker or continue her shenanigans of trying to get an Opposition MLA to be one so that she can somehow further delays the process of setting up the new NDP-Green government, all this while fully knowing that she has lost the confidence of the House!
