If the Rockpile was a battleship, klaxon alarms would be sounding. A senior government insider travelling aboard the S.S. Gordon Campbell tells us some ministries have been instructed to "not even think" about legislation or regulations between now and May. The reason: the provincial Liberals will be too busy preparing for the next election. That seems to substantiate earlier rumours that the government will be introducing very few significant bills in the fall legislative session, continuing a dry spell that began last year. The insider also says cabinet will be meeting less frequently in the lead-up to the next election, with most decisions being delegated to its committees.
