BC NDP candidate [Linda Li](/bc/provincial-2026/candidates/linda-li) was fined $8,500 by the BC Financial Services Authority after the Superintendent of Real Estate found she had an undisclosed conflict of interest and submitted backdated documents during an investigation. The Conservative Party of BC used the regulatory finding on October 15 to call for her removal from the NDP slate.

The ruling, a Notice of Administrative Penalty dated June 30, 2026, found three violations by Li as managing broker of Metrohomes Realty Ltd in Richmond.

**The conflict of interest finding**

The Superintendent found that Li represented a buyer who was purchasing a property she had previously listed for the seller. The ruling found she had opportunities to refer the buyer to another brokerage and did not do so, and that the conflict of interest was not disclosed.

**The backdating finding**

Disclosure forms required at the time of the transaction were not signed then. Li obtained the signatures while already under investigation, more than a year after the transaction, and submitted them backdated. She disclosed this only after investigators demanded DocuSign electronic audit records. The Superintendent found that Li "withheld and concealed key information from BCFSA, resulting in information being provided in a misleading manner."

**The penalty**

The BCFSA imposed an $8,500 fine. Li also cannot renew, transfer, or amend her real estate licence until she completes a remedial education course through UBC's Sauder School of Business.

**The Conservative Party's call**

The Conservative Party published the BCFSA ruling on October 15 and called on Premier [David Eby](/bc/provincial-2026/candidates/david-eby) to remove Li from the NDP's candidate list. The NDP had not responded publicly by the time this article was published. The source carried no response from Li.

The BCFSA fine is a regulatory finding, not a criminal charge. No court has made any criminal finding against Li.

Li is running in Richmond-Bridgeport. Advance voting in the provincial election runs from October 16 to October 21, 2026. General voting day is October 24.
