B.C. Legislature clerk resigns after multiple findings of misconduct GlobeBC
Both men were suspended from the legislature. They denied wrongdoing over accusations levelled by Speaker Darryl Plecas of inappropriate expenses and overspending. No criminal charges have been laid in the matter.
He said Mr. Lenz will remain on a paid leave until the other three probes – a workplace review, RCMP investigation and the Auditor-General’s forensic audit – are complete. Mr. James said in his statement that he had provided detailed written submissions and supporting documents in response to Mr. Plecas’s allegations, but the material was not referred to or addressed in Ms. McLachlin’s report and is not known to the public or press.
She also said Mr. James engaged in misconduct by directing the creation of three benefits to his personal advantage outside of established protocols, notably a retirement benefit, a resignation benefit and death benefit.
