New B.C. Conservative leader Doerkson to appear with caucus amid election speculation
The party’s parliamentary group has grown to 29 members as Doerkson tries to steady the Opposition after weeks of turmoil.
- On Tuesday, new British Columbia Conservatives interim leader Lorne Doerkson appeared in Richmond, B.C., with his caucus to stabilize the party ahead of a potential early election.
- Doerkson's appearance follows the resignation of former leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay on Sunday, as the party works to present a united front after recent Opposition caucus turmoil.
- The Conservative parliamentary group grew to 29 members on Monday after five MLAs who quit or were removed by Findlay returned to the caucus.
- Premier David Eby said last week his caucus needs to be "election ready," while Agriculture Minister Lana Popham announced she will not seek re-election after 17 years.
- Infrastructure Minister Bowinn Ma announced on Monday that the government renewed plans for the Burnaby Hospital expansion, reflecting campaign-style pledges as parties prepare for a possible early election.
