tion presented their platforms and promised to work with other federal politicians and other levels of government to represent the needs of the riding. The four candidates in the riding of Central Okanagan-
Similkameen-Nicola spoke at a forum at Centre Stage theatre in Summerland on Monday evening. The forum was organized by the Summerland Chamber of Commerce and the Summerland Review.
Questions were submitted in advance and were selected to present a cross-section of the concerns presented. Green Party candidate Robert Mellalieu said the role of a Member of Parliament is to represent
the constituents. “That has been lost over the years,” he said, mentioning the practice of parties directing to their members how to vote on certain issues in the House of Commons. “In the Green Party,
we’re not going to whip the votes,” he said. Angelique Wood, the New Democratic Party candidate, said she would listen to the constituents throughout the new large and diverse riding. See CANDIDATES Page 3
