Accuracy

There are two edits that look suspicious to me. This by 207.228.156.110 seems odd because it includes unsourced additions, and also because it included a picture of completely the wrong person.

This by 205.250.160.98 seems odd because it reverses what was previously said, without citing any source. Everything should be verified. --Mr. Billion 09:32, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Opposition leader?

According to the article content, she was never Opposition leader, due to her party have only 2 seats, after the 2001 election. Also, wasn't it the Speaker who denied her that status? GoodDay (talk) 19:34, 31 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify this point:

She was the Leader of the Opposition in the 37th parliament. If you check hansard as early as July 25, 2001, the Speaker refers to her as such. She is also listed as the Leader of the Opposition on her profile on the BC legislature website. It also was displayed on televised broadcasts that she was the Leader of the Opposition. The title does not depend on the party having official party status.
