Even the Clerk of the House ("CEO" of legislature) brought these matters to the House attention at opening of legislature last Thursday. So a 43 - 43 tie vote means no budget passed or bills passed. Horgan's only option then is to go to LG and ask for dissolution.
Today was, for practical reasons, just a delay on dissolution. No doubt about that.

The NDP/Greens should just re-present Liberal Clark's social welfare laced budget and watch the hypocrisy play out for the voters to see.....
