Clark introduced her new 19-member cabinet last week. The legislature has been recalled for June 26 to allow the Liberals to introduce, debate and pass their budget, which was introduced last February but was not passed before the May 14 election and VICTORIA - Former New Democrat leadership candidate Mike Farnworth is leading the charge when it comes to dissecting the Liberal government's budget in a revamped shadow cabinet announced Friday by NDP Leader Adrian Dix. Dix said his new shadow cabinet includes veteran New Democrats and newcomers who will hold Premier Christy Clark and her Liberal government to account for their election promises and record. He said Clarks government was elected on the claims of a balanced budget, reduced debt, increased core services and increased jobs and the NDP plans to make sure they live up to those claims.
