John Horgan will be speaking Tuesday afternoon in Vancouver, after attending a cabinet retreat in the city.

The rumours began late last week following a CBC radio interview.
Horgan's comments come about seven weeks after he told CTV News reporter Robert Buffam he hasn't ruled out running for a third time.
"I never anticipated that I would be where I am today – no one's more surprised than me and my Grade 8 teacher at Reynolds High School. Yet here I am. As long as I can keep making a valuable difference, I'm going to keep doing it," Horgan said on May 5.
