It’s a little over two weeks since Speaker of the Legislative Assembly, Darryl Plecas, released his bombshell report that alleged a litany of extravagant and flagrant overspending by staff at the BC Legislature.

Sergeant-at-Arms, Gary Lenz, and Clerk of the House, Craig James, have not been charged with any crime and have denied all wrongdoing. They have until tomorrow to respond to the Legislative Assembly Management Committee, and we may learn their response in public then.

Now, in his first broadcast interview since the publication of that report, Darryl Plecas spoke to us on the Simi Sara Show this morning just before we came on-air. Here’s our conversation.
