Premier David Eby hopes to recall the legislature for a sitting before the end of the year .

Eby's NDP secured a bare majority of 47 seats, meaning if one of his own MLAs served as speaker they would be short a necessary vote to pass legislation.

The speaker is permitted to vote to break ties, but by convention only votes to maintain the status quo.

That leaves the NDP looking across the aisle to fill the job.
