The wheels flew off the bus on day three, March 3, when heckling, desk banging and insults throughout Question Period prompted Speaker Raj Chouhan to issue a rare admonishment to MLAs in the Chamber afterwards. “Members, you may think that making a big noise is a good way of doing Question Period. The chair doesn t appreciate it,” he said. Chouhan, NDP MLA for Burnaby-Edmonds since 2005, was appointed Speaker last December after serving as Deputy Speaker since 2017. “I heard the words competence, incompetence, incompetent numerous times,” Chouhan said. “So?!” fired back a member of the BC Liberal caucus. “So, the point is … let s be temperate in our language in our debate because the public is watching,” Chouhan said. “Opposition members have every right to ask questions. I understand their passion and all that, but be careful. Be careful.”
