Prince George, B.C.- At 1:00 this afternoon, Christina (Christy) Joan Clark, will be sworn in as B.C.’s 35th Premier.
Her swearing in ceremony, and that of her cabinet, will be, for the first time, live streamed on the internet at www.gov.bc.ca.
While there are no guarantees on who will be named to that cabinet, it is likely Pat Bell will retain Forestry. Whether Ms. Clark will opt to have that Ministry continue with the added responsibility of Lands and Mines, will be revealed this afternoon.
As for Shirley Bond, no telling what will happen there either. Bond was the Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure.
Where the other candidates for the leadership race will end up is another question which Clark will have to deal with. Kevin Falcon was her closest rival. To unite the party will she give the former Minister of Health a high profile cabinet post?
Clark only had only one member of the caucus join her leadership campaign, so will there be a reward for Burnaby-Lougheed MLA Harry Bloy?
The size of the Cabinet and the details will all be revealed at 1:00 this afternoon.
