Longtime Liberal cabinet minister takes leadership campaign to Nanaimo
NANAIMO — A longtime BC Liberal cabinet minister visited Nanaimo to explain his vision to refresh the beleaguered party.
Mike de Jong, who’s been a Fraser Valley Liberal MLA since the mid-1990’s, met with supporters at a downtown Nanaimo restaurant Friday.
De Jong said he has fresh ideas, but won’t sway from the philosophy that a government live within its means.
“The vision that we are going to carve out and build and emerge from this leadership contest will be a uniquely free enterprise vision based on free enterprise principles.”
