Nechako Lakes MLA John Rustad booted from B.C. Liberal caucus

VICTORIA — Nechako Lakes MLA John Rustad has been booted from the B.C. Liberal caucus following comments he’s made questioning the science behind climate change.

In a statement released today by BC Liberal Leader Kevin Falcon, he said:

“Politics is a team sport and British Columbians expect their elected officials to work cooperatively on the important issues facing our province.

“Like any team, our caucus operates on a foundation of mutual respect and trust. While a diversity of perspectives are encouraged and a source of strength, they cannot exist without that important foundation in place.
