B.C. Conservatives strip Independent Penticton MLA Boultbee’s membership
The party said she violated a bylaw by supporting the bill, while Boultbee said she will keep focusing on her constituents.
- The B.C. Conservatives canceled the membership of Penticton-Summerland MLA Amelia Boultbee on Thursday after she voted to send an FOI bill to committee for review.
- Boultbee exited the Conservative caucus in October 2025, citing former party leader John Rustad as a main reason for her decision to become an Independent.
- Their position is that Boultbee violated bylaws by "publicly supporting another political party" when she voted for the FOI bill; MLA Eleanore Sturko also supported sending it to committee.
- Rustad accused Boultbee of leaking party information and alleged she supported Hamas, while claiming her decisions were influenced by mental health issues.
- Boultbee stated she remains focused on representing her constituents, emphasizing that the economy, private property rights, and healthcare are provincial emergencies requiring sustained attention.
