Parliament Buildings, Victoria, on Aug. 13, 2020 (Mackin)[/caption]
After a three-month break due to the coronavirus emergency, the province's lawmakers met in a hybrid physical-virtual session beginning late June; most were involved via web conference, while a handful actually sat in the chamber. Reporters were banned from attending news conferences and could only call-in.

Also hear from Attorney General David Eby, Finance Minister Carole James, Energy Minister Bruce Ralston and Plecas.
Plus Pacific Rim and Pacific Northwest headlines and commentaries on British Columbia Day.
