It could happen again

Do you recall recall?

LORNE SEXTON says he will consider another at- tempt to recall Skeena MLA Helmut Giesbrecht if an Elections B.C. investigation of last winter’s campaign drags on too long,

Forensic auditor Ron Parks was named Sept. 18 by Elections B.C. to determine whether correct spending and contribution disclosures were made by campaigns fighting for and against recall of Giesbrecht and two other MLAs. | The move came a day ' after stories in the Van- c \ couver Sun that character- ‘ ized the recall defence campaigns as ‘covert oper- ations’? controlled by Vic- toria.

Sexton said locals might have to take action if it ap- pears the investigation will lake too long.

“There wouldn't be any | point in having this drag on ' for another two years be- cause we could be into an election by then,’’ Sexton said.

He said a number of mem- bers of the campaign that | worked to recall Giesbrecht is ready to do it all again,

“TI don’t know that we teally want to go through another recall but if it’s nec- cessary we might consider it as an option,’’ Sexton said.

He woulda’t say how long would be too Jong for the in- vestigation to reach a con- clusion.

“Tf the thing is going to be postponed and dragged on and it looks like they’re dragging their feet, we'd da something,’ ‘he said, but added they’re prepared to give the process time.

If Giesbrecht is found to have violated the recall regulations the penalty could include his seat being ' declared vacant.

Sexton said Giesbrecht could save everyone a lot of trouble by resigning im- mediately.

“T would call on Helmut

Giesbrecht if.’ he’s Bol. a ‘shred of integrity: to ‘quits ie .

step down immediately.’”

Sexton said that would be. the easiest of the three pos- sibilities the MLA now faces.

“Mr, Giesbrecht, being a teacher, would appreciate the three Rs — be removed from office, resign or be recalled.’”
