Chilliwack-Hope candidate-hopeful and riding association Vice President Louis De Jaeger announced his resignation from the Liberal party over the Prime Minister’s handling of SNC-Lavalin.
De Jaeger announced his resignation on his public Facebook page in an April 3rd post.
“One of the most valuable assets we have in life is to be trustworthy.

De Jeager cites the expulsion of former Attorney General Jody Wilson and former Treasury Board President Jane Philpott as the main reason behind his decision.

De Jeager has also canceled his membership and financial contributions to the party.
The first time he ran for the Liberals was in 2015 and he lost to the current MP Mark Strahl with 33.78% of the vote.
