He says it includes “entrepreneurs, nurses, mayors, non-profit leaders, labour leaders and more,” with experienced perspectives and fresh ideas.

Thirty-one of the 47 NDP MLAs are women, and three are Indigenous.

The two Green Party MLAs were sworn in on Tuesday and the 44 members of the BC Conservative Caucus were sworn in Tuesday evening.
