B.C.'s majority female legislature brings back memories of 1991 election's record-breaking moment
B.C. voters have elected a majority female legislature for the first time in the province's history, with 49 of 93 legislative seats now occupied by women. It's a big step forward from 1991, when a then record-breaking seven female cabinet ministers were appointed. We talked to BC NDP MLA Jenny Kwan who spent 19 years as the representative for what was then known as Vancouver Mount Pleasant. She's now the MP for Vancouver East. We asked her what she makes of the majority-female legislature, and her time in the chamber.
