The Official Opposition Shadow Cabinet of British Columbia is composed of members of the official opposition political party in the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia who provide criticism to the administration of the government in British Columbia during question period or other sittings of the Legislature.[1] Shadow ministers or critics are appointed to the shadow cabinet by the Leader of the Opposition.[1]
Shadow ministers and critics have existed in British Columbian politics since the introduction of partisan politics in 1903, however the organization and membership of the shadow cabinet in British Columbia received very little media coverage prior to the 2010s.
