Surrey Mayor Doug McCallum has remained relatively quiet since a special Crown prosecutor approved a public mischief charge against him on Friday.
On Saturday, CTV News Vancouver knocked on his door to try to get answers.
“Unfortunately, I can't make any comments today,” said McCallum through a half-opened door. “I have already made a comment and I'm going to stay with my comment.”
The comment in question was provided via email, in which he wrote: "We are in the middle of changing from RCMP to the Surrey Police Service and as this matter is before the courts, I will not be making any comment.”
City councilor Jack Hundial, a former Mountie of 25 years, was unimpressed with the mayor’s written statement.
“I think this is part of his gaslighting attempts over the years, where he, you know, brings issues or conferences into something that truly has no relevance,” he said. “Regardless of a transition or not, the police are the police and the Criminal Code is the Criminal Code.”
Hundial, along with councillors Brenda Locke and Linda Annis, is calling on McCallum to step down as mayor and chair of the Surrey Police Board.
