Nechako Lakes MLA John Rustad ousted from BC Liberals Caucus

BC Liberal Leader Kevin Falcon has removed Nechako Lakes MLA John Rustad from the caucus.

Falcon, who is the leader of the opposition issued a statement this afternoon (Thursday):

“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.
