Following an election that didn't produce a clear winner and months of uncertainty, British Columbia's New Democrat government — the first in 16 years — tables a throne speech today outlining its political vision. Deputy Premier and Finance Minister Carole James says the minority NDP will walk into the legislature promising to make life better for B.C. "You'll see a throne speech that will reflect our commitment to the people of this province which will put them first," she said. Today, the 42 MLA opposition caucus will be led by interim leader Rich Coleman who says "you can expect we will be professional." The government will back up the throne speech with an updated budget Monday.
