The wood splitter was possibly the most eye-catching item on a list of questionable expenses unearthed in a bombshell 2019 into allegations of misspending at the B.C. legislature.

Nine months after Craig James resigned as clerk due to the ongoing B.C. legislature spending scandal, Kate Ryan-Lloyd has been appointed to replace him.

The revelation comes exactly one year after former clerk Craig James and former sergeant-at-arms Gary Lenz were escorted from the B.C. legislature.

Lenz, speaking exclusively to Global News for the first time since his retirement, says he never believed liquor was being stolen from the B.C. legislature.

B.C. Premier John Horgan and his chief of staff Geoff Meggs are under fire over findings that the premier's office shredded a document associated with the legislative spending scandal.

B.C. Auditor General Carol Bellringer has resigned her post three years early for "personal reasons."

British Columbia's Auditor General Carol Bellringer says she did not find anything that merits additional investigation or merits a deeper forensic audit.

The investigation is not criminal in nature, house speaker Mike Farnworth said, but rather a human resources matter.

Clerk Craig James has retired after an independent investigation found he committed administrative misconduct.

The report is now in the hands of NDP house leader Mike Farnworth, Liberal house leader Mary Polak and Green house leader Sonia Furstenau.
