Overview
- The Leadership Election Organizing Committee voted unanimously on Friday to keep Kerry-Lynne Findlay on the B.C. Conservative leadership ballot.
- A Business in Vancouver report cited unnamed sources who said they saw internal emails suggesting an Elections Canada probe into Findlay’s 2025 federal campaign and alleged about $75,000 in undeclared or unpaid services.
- The Office of the Commissioner of Canada Elections told reporters it will not publicly confirm whether an investigation exists and that the Canada Elections Act requires the commissioner to notify anyone who is formally under investigation.
- Findlay and her campaign deny the allegations, say she has not received any formal notice, and blame politically timed leaks for emerging just before the leadership vote.
- The party says it has asked the commissioner’s office for information and members should watch for the May 30 leadership announcement and any formal notice from election authorities that would alter the race.
