VICTORIA — B.C. Premier John Horgan is meeting with Lt.-Gov. Janet Austin today amid speculation he will call a provincial election.

Horgan has called an 11 a.m. news conference following the meeting with the lieutenant-governor.

A statement from Horgan’s press secretary says the premier “will address how British Columbians deserve a say in our economic recovery and will decide the future of our province.”

B.C. has a fixed election date set for October 2021, but Horgan has said recently he was considering his political options.
