Milobar calls for more transparency on legislature controversy
VICTORIA — The fall session of the BC legislature ended with the Liberal opposition pressing the NDP government for more information on the unfolding controversy surrounding the legislature itself.
Clerk Craig James and Sergeant-at-arms Gary Lenz are under suspension after the legislature was informed that they are under investigation by the RCMP.
Meantime, Speaker Darryl Plecas is under fire for his hiring of a special advisor who investigated James and Lenz.
In question period Tuesday, Liberals MLAs pressed the government for more information, but were rebuffed repeatedly, with cabinet ministers saying it is inappropriate for them to comment on a matter under criminal investigation.
