B.C. Greens won’t support officials’ return to legislature after spending report
VICTORIA — British Columbia’s Green party will not support the return to the legislature of two senior officers after a report by the Speaker was released alleging spending abuses.
Andrew Weaver says the house leaders for the NDP, Liberals and Greens will consider their options for the futures of clerk Craig James and sergeant-at-arms Gary Lenz, but he would not support their return to work.
“To be blunt, I do not see how it is possible for our caucus to continue to have confidence in the clerk and the sergeant-at-arms if they were recommended to come back to the legislature,” Weaver told reporters on Tuesday.
