British Columbia Conservative Leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay Calls for Party Unity After Penticton Retreat

British Columbia Conservative Party leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay said her party is unified and intends to engage with voters across the province following a caucus retreat at the Penticton Lakeside Resort. She emphasized that the party is a "government‑in‑waiting" and will travel throughout the summer to share its vision.

Findlay addressed the recent floor‑crossing of Penticton‑Summerland MLA Amelia Boultbee to the NDP and noted that she has not decided whether Independent MLA Tara Armstrong will re‑join the party. She reiterated that she does not currently hold a seat in the legislature but is discussing a possible by‑election with colleagues.

On policy, Findlay raised questions about Alberta’s new pipeline proposals and BC’s agreement with the federal government, suggesting a preference for a northern route to reduce costs. She also advocated for a western alliance of provinces to remove inter‑provincial trade barriers.
