B.C. Speaker Darryl Plecas apologizes for speech that says Hells Angels, Mafia ‘successful’ GlobeBC
The Speaker says when he mentioned the Hells Angels, Mafia and U.S. President Donald Trump as examples of leaders considered successful, some people attending the Lower Mainland Local Government Association gathering objected to his comments because they thought he was endorsing those leaders.
But he said what he meant was that unless consultations involve genuine input, some Indigenous people say governments use the term consult as if consent were given.A report by Plecas earlier this year about overspending allegations at the B.C. legislature resulted in the clerk and sergeant-at-arms being placed on indefinite suspension pending an RCMP investigation.
Plecas was re-elected as a Liberal in 2017, but was ejected from the party caucus and now sits as an Independent after he accepted the Speaker’s position in the minority New Democrat government.
