BC Conservative leader says she has removed 3 party members from caucus

BC Conservative Leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay says she has removed three party members from caucus.

“Effective immediately, Trevor Halford, Claire Rattée, and John Rustad will no longer serve as members of the Conservative Party of British Columbia Caucus,” Findlay said in a statement.

“With an election potentially on the horizon, our focus must be on British Columbians and defeating David Eby’s NDP government.

“The BC Conservative Party is the only free-enterprise team equipped with a fully funded campaign to take on the NDP, and we need everyone focused on building our movement and preparing to win.”

However, in a statement posted on X earlier Friday, Rattée said she is not going anywhere .

“With reports that a snap election is imminent, the BC Conservative Party must present a credible alternative and look like a government in waiting to make life better for the struggling people in our province,” she said.
