MLA Adam Walker ousted from BC NDP caucus, premier announces
Premier David Eby has announced MLA Adam Walker has been ousted from the BC New Democratic Party caucus.
In a statement issued Sunday, Eby says the BC New Democrat caucus conducted a thorough internal investigation after a human resources complaint was issued against Walker.
He says that the investigation found misconduct on the part of Walker, who was elected the MLA for Parksville-Qualicum in 2020 and is the Parliamentary Secretary for the Sustainable Economy.

The statement says he will no longer be a member of the government caucus or a parliamentary secretary.
It says no additional details will be disclosed as it is a human resources issue.
Walker did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Earlier this week, Walker made headlines again for an unrelated incident, during which he tackled a deer to save his dog, Pluto.
Editor’s Note: This article has been updated to clarify Walker has been removed from the NDP’s caucus, not the party.
