30-year BC Liberal MLA Mike de Jong delivers farewell speech, highlights collegiality among politicians.
Retiring BC Liberal MLA Mike de Jong delivered a witty farewell speech after a 30-year career in provincial politics. De Jong, the longest-serving MLA, shared a friendly relationship with NDP's Mike Farnworth, next in line for seniority. The departing MLAs emphasized the collegiality and respect among politicians, despite their differing political views.
