NDP gets Green support to form minority government in British Columbia
VICTORIA — A deal has been reached that paves the way for the NDP to form a minority government in British Columbia with support from the Green party.
NDP Leader John Horgan and Andrew Weaver of the Greens announced the agreement Monday that they say would allow for a stable minority government for the next four years.
“This is the certainty that I’m hoping to give British Columbia. Greens give the NDP their support for four years to show minority governments can work,” Weaver told a news conference held with Horgan outside the doors of the legislative chamber.
Weaver said the Green caucus has voted in favour of the agreement and the NDP is scheduled to hold a vote on Tuesday, but Horgan doesn’t think the deal will find any opposition among New Democrats.
