No business can proceed without selecting an MLA to serve as speaker of the house.

The governing party often chooses one of its own members for the job, but the NDP holds just 47 seats, the bare minimum for a majority.

The speaker’s role is to remain neutral, and that pushes the speaker into a more partisan role than they are accustomed to playing.

Finding a speaker from the opposition benches appears to be a remote possibility.
