New Conservative leader Findlay fills new leadership with loyalists
Findlay says the reshuffle creates a unified team, and Maahs will lead in the chamber until she wins a seat.
- On Monday, June 29, B.C. Conservative Leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay overhauled her caucus leadership team, appointing Chilliwack North MLA Heather Maahs as interim Leader of the Official Opposition.
- Because Findlay currently lacks a legislative seat, she elevated party loyalists to key roles, including Prince George-North Cariboo MLA Sheldon Clare as the new house leader.
- Party disclosures reveal Maahs receives a $61,000 top-up to her $122,000 base salary, while Clare earns an additional $24,000 annually for his new responsibilities.
- NDP Caucus Chair Garry Begg condemned the appointments, saying Findlay is "doubling down on her divisive and extreme approach" while purging former B.C. Liberals from leadership.
- Findlay will preside over her first full caucus meeting in Penticton on Thursday and Friday, while Maahs serves as interim leader until Findlay secures a seat through a byelection.
