The leaders of both the BC Conservative Party and the BC Green Party are also speaking out against the decision to not reappoint Auditor General John Doyle.
BC Green Party Leader Jane Sterk says the government should have deferred the matter entirely until after the May election.
“We actually think that appointments like that should be made by an independant commission that is not influenced at the political level by the parties.”
BC Tory Leader John Cummins says Doyle was simply too good at his job taking the government to task on issues like spending, and the budget.
“And I think that has as much to do with his dismissal as the BC Rail, and certainly BC Rail I think is a big part of it.”
Cummins says the Premier is also hiding from tough questions even as her government trots out weak excuses for not re-appointing Doyle.
