B.C. Conservative caucus meets in Penticton under new leader
Casey Richardson says the party aims to form the next government as it works to rebuild after several MLAs left the caucus.
- The Conservative Caucus met in Penticton on July 2 and 3 for their first official 2026 meeting, as Penticton-Summerland MLA Amelia Boultbee crossed the floor to the NDP on Friday.
- Conservative Leader Kerry Lynne Findlay currently lacks a legislative seat but said she intends to enter the house 'as soon as possible' and is discussing potential by-election paths with current members.
- Addressing the departures, Findlay dismissed concerns about a 'sinking ship,' emphasizing her caucus remains a 'welcoming team' focused on the 38 MLAs currently standing with her.
- Findlay promoted a western alliance to remove interprovincial trade barriers and expressed support for pipelines, stating the party believes in 'economic opportunity' and the jobs such projects bring.
- Although Findlay hopes to join the legislature quickly, she acknowledged that a by-election for an occupied seat requires a call from the Premier and Lieutenant Governor, a process taking six months.
