All 93 members of the B.C. legislature have been sworn in by Clerk Kate Ryan-Lloyd .

The Greens and the Conservatives were sworn in as the opposition parties, while the NDP had to wait until Wednesday morning .

The government caucus ceremony was overshadowed by the death of former NDP premier John Horgan the day before .

The Greens , with only two elected members, held a smaller and more intimate ceremony for Jeremy Valeriote of West Vancouver-Sea to Sky and Rob Botterell of Saanich North and the Islands.

Former Courtenay-Comox candidate Damon Scrase dropped out as a candidate in May after anti-LGBTQ+ posts came to light.
