Interim Green party leader gives premier top marks for environmental vision.
The interim leader of the B.C. Green party is thrilled at the prospect of working with B.C. Liberal Premier Gordon Campbell. According to Christopher Ian Bennett, he has had more meetings with Campbell than with the B.C. NDP in the past three months. Bennett added that, in fact, he hasn’t even met with Opposition leader Carole James.
“The premier welcomes me with open arms,” Bennett told the Georgia Straight. “He was fantastically accommodating, and he said, ‘I’d love to see Greens in the legislature.’ I want to work with him…and I think he wants to works with us.”
Bennett said that the NDP has “not been as willing to connect with me or reach out to our party”. He added that he has tried but failed to set up meetings with James.
