B.C. Conservative leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay has assembled a new leadership team and updated parts of her caucus roles, with multiple reports indicating several appointments favor her supporters. The National Observer and Global News (Canada) report that Findlay fills leadership positions with loyalists as part of the formation of a team intended to present a unified front across the province. Global News says Findlay characterizes the leadership team as representing all parts of B.C. and as being tasked with holding the NDP government to account.
Business in Vancouver adds additional detail, reporting that Findlay keeps former rival Peter Milobar and his supporters in her shadow cabinet. It also notes that this happens a day after Findlay installs a caucus leadership team that is described as skewing toward loyalists. Together, the accounts portray a leadership slate designed to consolidate support while still retaining at least one previously rival faction within key opposition roles.
