    • Former NDP minister joins BC United

    A former New Democrat cabinet minister says he joining the Opposition B-C United.

    Harry Lali, who was a transportation and highways minister in the late 1990s for the New Democrats, says the N-D-P is now an urban interest party with little focus on issues and challenges facing rural communities.

    Lali, who's 68, was first elected in 1991 in the Merritt-area Yale-Lillooet riding, and re-elected to four terms, before being defeated in 2013.

    Lali says he now believes the best interests of resource-dependent, small-town rural B-C will be best served by Kevin Falcon's party.
