Minister Polak was asked today to make the rounds calling media in the South Okanagan about accusations that one MLA – Linda Larson is dictating the terms of provincial policy.

Polak repeated her comments to ODN – provincial tools are being utilized to deal with environmental issues in this region and that the Liberal government led by Christy Clark is not interested in renewing discussions with Ottawa on a proposed National Park.

The minister made it clear that MLA Linda Larson has been instrumental in bringing groups together to make change happen in this region and that she has the full confidence of the government at the highest levels.
