New BC Liberal leader Kevin Falcon is calling for the province’s public sector pension fund to re-evaluate Russian investments.
In 2021, the BC Investment Management Corporation’s inventory showed more than 238 million dollars worth of shares in Russian banks, and state-owned financial institutions.
Despite this, Falcon says that the Corporation has refused to comment on the status of Russian investments following their invasion of Ukraine last week.
Falcon is calling for Finance Minister Selina Robinson, as the sole-shareholder of the corporation to encourage immediate divestment from Russian backed companies.
In a statement released this afternoon, Falcon also called on the NDP to search for evidence of BC land titles owned by Russia’s top oligarchs.
