Conservative MLA Resignation Offer Under Scrutiny | Vancouver News

A political firestorm erupts in British Columbia as Conservative MLA Jordan Paton alleges he was offered a lucrative post-resignation job by party chief of staff — allegedly to step down from his seat. Paton, who rejected the offer, now fears legal trouble and says RCMP are set to interview him, with two other MLAs reportedly already spoken to. Party leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay denies any wrongdoing, calling the claims “preposterous,” but the law is clear: offering rewards for resignations is illegal. The RCMP have confirmed they’re aware of a leaked recording involving Findlay, though they won’t comment further until charges are filed — all while Findlay prepares for a byelection that hinges on another MLA’s exit.
