Premier David Eby has announced MLA Adam Walker has been ousted from the BC New Democratic party.
A New Democrat member of the British Columbia legislature representing a riding on Vancouver Island for the past four years has been turfed from the government's ranks, Premier David Eby announced on Sunday.
The news came in a brief statement outlining the ouster of Adam Walker, but offered few specifics.
The statement from Eby's office said his dismissal came about as the result of an internal investigation sparked by an unspecified human resources complaint.
“This thorough investigation found misconduct on the part of MLA Walker,” it said of the legislature member who had served as the parliamentary secretary for the sustainable economy up until Sunday.
“As a result, Mr. Walker will no longer be a member of the government caucus and he will no longer be a parliamentary secretary.”
The statement said no further details would be released in light of the fact that the issue at hand is a human resources matter.
Walker, who did not immediately respond to request for comment on his removal from caucus, was elected to the provincial legislature in 2020 to represent the riding of Parksville-Qualicum.
