BCTV is reporting "Premier Gordon Campbell is expected to call a special caucus meeting later this morning where sources say he will announce the resignation of Attorney General Geoff Plant." If that happens, the premier has few options when it comes to picking a replacement. After all, the Liberals are a bit light on lawyers. Government members with law degrees include backbenchers Bill Bennett, Tony Bhullar and Blair Suffredine, Education Minister Tom Christensen, Forest Minister Mike de Jong and parliamentary secretary Barry Penner. Most insiders are betting Minister Christensen gets the job. But another line of thought suggests Minister de Jong may become attorney general. Interestingly, Messrs. Bhullar, Christensen and Penner all attended the University of Victoria's law school at or around the same time.
Definitely maybe
