Graeme James calls for BC Environment Minister to Resign

B.C. Environment Minister Terry Lake, “should do the honorable thing and quit,” according to Kelowna – Lake Country Conservative Candidate Graeme James.

“With the ongoing debacle around Pacific Carbon Trust, it is clear Terry Lake must resign. What is not clear is if something more sinister is at play – and that needs to be investigated,” says an irate James.

“The Pacific Carbon Trust is one of the biggest shell games ever perpetrated by a government in power. It is shameful and time that this sort of misleading activity cease,” James announced Thursday in Kelowna.

James, a former Kelowna City Councilor, says the current controversy involving the Pacific Carbon Trust has angered thousands of B.C. residents and created even more distrust with the provincial Liberal government.

James maintains the Pacific Carbon Trust has redirected $50 million of public health care and education dollars (over $2.5 million out of the Okanagan region alone) to finance private industry, which, in turn, funnels a portion of taxpayers’ money back to the Liberal Party as donations.

In another blatant misuse of taxpayer’s money, the Pacific Carbon Trust used $100,000 for a consultant to discredit their own Auditor General before he exposed the Liberal Government’s ongoing unethical practices in turning the program into a slush fund for their friends.

“That is clearly just another breach of the public’s trust and an indication that this current government has to go, starting with Lake,” James says.
