Former agriculture minister leaves B.C. Liberals over ‘allegations’
FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — A member of the B.C. legislature says he is leaving the governing Liberal caucus over unspecified allegations.
Pat Pimm, who represents Peace River North, says in a statement that the allegations require him to seek legal counsel and while the matter is being resolved he will leave the caucus.
The statement says Pimm will also resign from his post as deputy chairman of the committee as a whole, but he will continue to sit in the legislature as an Independent member.
“I want to inform my constituents that allegations have been brought against me which require me to obtain legal counsel,” says the statement released by his office.
