He attacked van Dongen for trying to lead an alleged mutiny against former premier Gordon Campbell and for his record of speeding tickets.

He lambasted Dix for travelling on transit recently without a valid ticket and for backdating a memo while serving in former NDP premier Glen Clark’s government.
