B.C. Ombudsperson Jay Chalke calls ABC party president's comments 'disturbing repudiation of the rule of law' ABC president Stephen Molnar says party won't stop caucusing in private, despite integrity commissioner's findings.

Chalke has pushed for provincial legislation on ethics and integrity oversight in local governments since 2022 .

A 2024 paper by the Union of B.C. Municipalities highlights the province’s “entirely unique” framework where municipal codes of conduct are treated as voluntary and at the discretion of individual local governments.

Independent Coun. Rebecca Bligh , who was elected with ABC but was kicked out of the party last month , says she has “deeply serious concerns” about the open-meeting principle.

Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim : “Accountability and integrity matter. We took action with an independent, third -party review to assess the integrity commissioner's role.
