Near the end of Lowan’s video, Valeriote and fellow Green MLA Rob Botterell pop up, talking about how Glumac should consult B.C.'s conflict of interest commissioner.

The B.C. NDP said Glumac did so more than two months ago.

In a letter dated Jan. 9 that was distributed by the NDP on Friday, Commissioner Jeffrey Schnoor wrote that Glumac’s $4,000 investment in AIQ was “not substantial” and that “it is highly unlikely that a decision would come before you that would meaningfully affect AIQ’s value.” “I am therefore satisfied that no concerns are likely to arise under the Members’ Conflict of Interest Act in relation to your holdings in AIQ,” said Schnoor.
