These scenarios are written by an AI language model from the headline and summary above. They are not predictions from the newsroom, and they are not evidence of anything. Every one is given a deadline and checked against later coverage, and the score is published on the ledger — including the ones that miss.

• Awaiting deadline 45% Legislative deadlock

  The NDP government refuses to introduce any corresponding bill, forcing the PCs to push their proposal through committee. This results in a drawn, highly publicized debate in the Legislature where no consensus is reached.

• Awaiting deadline 30% Cross-party compromise

  To avoid a prolonged political fight, the NDP agrees to a modified version of the PC unit, perhaps agreeing to fund it with a provincial grant rather than creating a new Crown division. A joint press conference is held.
