BC Liberals have lost trust?

"I am running to lead the rebuild of the BC Liberal party," said Lee, who finished a close third during the 2018 leadership race. "This time, what is so important is we need to restore trust with members of our party, supporters, donors, and British Columbians. I believe we have lost trust as a party with British Columbians and, fundamentally, in order for British Columbians to have confidence and faith in us again, we need to work on that."

Creating An Inclusive Party

British Columbians have the right to their own views, but the BC Liberal Party has a responsibility to ensure that it doesn't give a platform to individuals that are promoting intolerant perspectives that don't represent our party's inclusive values.

Q&A with BC Liberal leadership candidate Michael Lee

You need to win back the confidence and the trust of party members to win the leadership and then you broaden the appeal of the party, in terms of hopefully people recognizing what you stand for. I have put out, and it’s on my website — I guess now two-and-a-half weeks ago — I spoke at the launch about the values that we need to rebuild our party around. I put out five core values: accountability, compassion, community, integrity and inclusivity. And I believe those are five core values that our party needs to speak to. Certainly, those are the values that I would adhere to, so when people know my approach to leadership, as you say, they will have a better sense as to what I’m anchored on. I think that values based leadership is what we need — not just to lead our party, but to help navigate the challenges that we have in front of us.
