Liberal and New Democrat MLA's are staying up late tonight as the debate over Bill 21 continues....that's the legislation that will impose a settlement on striking paramedics and force them back to work.
The NDP has vowed to continue the debate as long as possible.
"Ramming this through is a mistake Mr. speaker, we've got an opportunity to step back and we should step back and the government should listen," says Cowichan MLA Bill Routley.
But the Liberal majority will inevitably approve the bill, likely sometime morning, imposing a settlement on the paramedics and ordering them back to work immediately.
