Premier is paid for full time work, but skips "school" Question Periods - October 27, 2011

A famous quote to remember:  By Premier Christy Clark:

"I haven't been in the house every day for question period but the days that I have been here, I have watched as the men in the NDP caucus ask almost all of the questions on the economy and then they throw a few questions to the women about the social issues,"                 -  By Jonathan Fowlie  The Vancouver Sun.

So, Premier Clark doesn't attend "class" everyday, especially when she is facing a Test day like Question Period.  

Its time that Legislation was introduced so that our MLA's are forced to attend, otherwise their out-of-sight pay should be reduced accordingly.    

48 days, the House sits.  24 in the Spring of 2011, 24 days in the Fall of 2011, and now the public learns from the Premier's own mouth that she hasn't been in the house every day for Question Period.

What is she afraid of?

Where's the Teacher when the School House needs one?

May we have a Teacher here to write a Report Card on Christy Clark?

I can imagine one such card, like "..... she plays well with others as long as the parents provide her with lots of cash to throw around to stay elected through the Fall of 2011"

===========================================================

While looking at the Videos of our Legislative House of British Columbia you'll probably see some of the participants reading from Notes, others not.....   Here's some background on that unique feature..

One other minor housekeeping duty here......  If Blackberries and iPhones were not permitted in the House the Sitting days would be twice if not thrice as long.  In the old days, before the gadgets, it would be the next day, or far longer because computers didn't exist then, either..... doesn't mean though that the our elected politicians should sit less,eh.
