VICTORIA — A member of the Opposition BC United caucus has crossed the floor to join British Columbia’s Conservatives.
Bruce Banman, the MLA for Abbotsford South, says he is proud to join his friend B.C. Conservative Leader John Rustad in the provincial legislature.
In a statement, BC United Leader Kevin Falcon says Banman’s move to the Conservatives is not entirely unexpected but it betrays his constituents who elected him to serve as part of the BC United team. The BC Conservatives now have two MLAs.
“I’m proud to join my friend John Rustad as the voice for everyday hardworking people in British Columbia’s Legislature,” says Banman.
“Conservatives have common sense. We don’t support Trudeau-backed policies like the punishing carbon tax that hurts everyday people; we refuse to condone the ideological NDP education agenda that teaches students what to think instead of how to think; and, we will never support the myth of safe supply that kills British Columbians and poisons our communities with hard drugs.”
