Surrey-Panorama NDP MLA Jinny Sims says it91Ƶs 91Ƶunfortunate91Ƶ the B.C. Liberal Party is circulating a flyer in her riding that91Ƶs calling on her constituents to demand answers concerning her being investigated by the RCMP.

91ƵIt91Ƶs unfortunate,91Ƶ she said of the flyer. 91ƵAs you know I got contacted by the premier91Ƶs office on the fourth. I did the right thing by stepping aside as a cabinet minister. Nobody has contacted me since 91Ƶ I know nothing. So they91Ƶre giving out misinformation and misleading the public.91Ƶ

The flyer, distributed to doorsteps in Sims91Ƶ riding with a BC Liberal Caucus logo, says Premier John Horgan 91Ƶwon91Ƶt tell you why a member of his team is being investigated by police. What are the NDP hiding?91Ƶ and encourages residents to 91ƵCall John Horgan and demand an answer: 250-387-1715.91Ƶ

It was not known at press time how many residents took the Liberals up on it. The Now-Leader91Ƶs calls went to voicemail.

Sims resigned from cabinet on Oct. 4 after a special prosecutor was appointed to investigate allegations related to an RCMP investigation concerning accusations that have not been publicly disclosed.

91ƵMy life is an open book,91Ƶ she told the Now-Leader at the time.

91ƵI have nothing to hide.91Ƶ

Marvin Hunt, Liberal MLA for Surrey-Cloverdale confirmed the flyer came from 91Ƶthe party itself.91Ƶ

Asked how the concept of due process applies in the case of this householder going out, Hunt replied that 91Ƶone of the challenges is, there had been a number of issues that had been raised in the House concerning what91Ƶs going on with Jinny91Ƶ and that inquiring minds want answers.

91ƵNow we91Ƶve got the RCMP investigating, and it91Ƶs 91ƵHey 91Ƶ what91Ƶs going on?91Ƶ91Ƶ Hunt said. 91ƵI think the citizens in Panorama have a right to know that she is under criminal investigation and then to ask the question, 91ƵWhat91Ƶs going on here? What91Ƶs happening?91Ƶ There91Ƶs a legitimate concern here and of course here in the Leg (Legislative Assembly) it just gets buried 91Ƶ 91ƵThere91Ƶs nothing here, there91Ƶs nothing here, there91Ƶs nothing here,91Ƶ and you go, well, if there91Ƶs nothing here, why have the RCMP picked it up?91Ƶ
