Opinion: Why did Prince George city council hold a secret vote on the encampment issue?

Residents have a right to know how councillors are thinking.

I am astonished to see that a city council vote on the encampment issue was taken in camera.

What possible justification was there for a secret vote?

Residents have a right to know how councillors are thinking.

There are some issues which must be handled in camera, but this is definitely not one of them.
