THE BC Prosecution Service (BCPS) announced on Thursday that on February 9, Gail Barnes was appointed as a special prosecutor involving an investigation being conducted by the North District Prince George RCMP into allegations against Jordan Kealy, the MLA for Peace River North.
The appointment of a special prosecutor is intended to avoid any potential for real or perceived improper influence in the administration of justice considering the nature of the allegations and the identity of the accused as an elected public official, the BCPS said.
Barnes is a senior Vancouver lawyer in private practice. Her mandate includes providing legal advice to investigators as may be necessary, conducting any related charge assessment, and assuming conduct of the prosecution if any charge was approved.
Kealy was elected as a B.C. Conservative. He left the party in March 2025. He recently supported the leadership of Kerry-Lynne Findlay.
