…About what’s next…
By Bill Bennett
Now sworn in as Minister of Energy & Mines & Minister Responsible for Core Review, I will spend much of the summer in Victoria. My office in Cranbrook is open for business and I am always available by phone or email and in person on Fridays.
The Legislative Assembly will sit for a month, starting June 26. The sole purpose of this short, summer sitting is to pass the balanced budget we introduced just before the election.
The legislative sitting will include Second Reading, which is a series of speeches by members from both sides and Third Reading or ‘Committee Stage,’ during which Opposition Critics have opportunity to question Ministers about their ministry budgets. The session will complete by the end of July.
– Bill Bennett is MLA for Kootenay East
