The effort was over Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) teaching plans in public schools. Petitioners need 11,811. The recall has an expense limit of $31,633.94.
30 recall petitions have been launched since 1995, five of which have led to signatures being turned in, but none met the threshold to make the ballot. MLA Paul Reitsma resigned in the face of a recall in 1999.
