Now, you see: 
- the benchmark 5-year yield plummeting Wednesday to 2.43% (bond rates determine how fixed mortgage rates are set)
- deeply discounted 5-year fixed rates falling back to 3.79% 
- market rate-hike expectations being pushed out to September/October...

Her cabinet has also been sworn in, and there are major changes.


Local MLAs, Shirley Bond  and Pat Bell  are part of the cabinet although they are in very different posts.  Bond is now the  Minister in charge of Public Safety and the Solicitor General.  Bell is now the Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation.


Clark has welcomed back Blair Lekstrom not only to the Liberal  caucus but to Cabinet as well.  She has also rewarded  Harry Bloy, the lone member of the Liberal Caucus, who supported her leadership bid.


Cabinet is smaller, "Our new cabinet will reflect the priorities of British Columbians and put families at the centre of all our decision-making," said Premier Clark. "Together, we will focus on creating jobs and building a strong economy because that is the single most important thing we can do to
