B.C. no longer the province with the largest Green party caucus

B.C. has lost its status as the province with the largest, elected Green party caucus, but Green Leader Andrew Weaver couldn't be happier.

A statement from Weaver says he extends “heartfelt congratulations to Prince Edward Island's Green party leader Peter Bevan-Baker and his team on their historic election campaign.”

Eight Green MLAs were elected in P.E.I. yesterday -- while the formerly governing Liberals were cut to six seats and the Conservative party captured 12 seats, to form a minority government.

Weaver, who leads the three-seat Green caucus in B.C., says he looks forward to watching his P.E.I. counterparts bring Green policies to the table in that province.
