B.C. Conservatives have ousted MLA Dallas Brodie from caucus over comments she made about residential schools, while two other MLAs are leaving in solidarity with Brodie, with one saying he will form a new party.

Conservative Party of B.C. Leader John Rustad said Brodie is being removed from caucus for using a “mocking, child-like voice” when talking about “testimony from former residential school students” during a podcast interview, and after walking out of a caucus meeting about the issue on March 6.
