Moe Sihota Biography
Moe Sihota is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on February 18, 1955 in Duncan, South Carolina, United States. Sihota assisted Dhaliwal to be appointed to the board at B.C. in 1991. Hydro was established in 1991 by Dhaliwal, who provided Sihota with a significant mortgage guarantee. Ted Hughes, Conflict Commissioner of British Columbia, was then asked to investigate the BC Liberal opposition. Hughes later confirmed that Sihota was not in a conflict. Hughes stated at the time that Sihota would have been found guilty of conflict of interest if the new laws had been in place in 1991 when Dhaliwal was appointed.
Sihota resigned as Minister of Labour in 1995 after the Law Society of BC suspended his licence to practice for 18 months, due to finding him guilty of professional misconduct. He was reinstated to Cabinet in 1996, but resigned again December of the same year due to new allegations of corruption, abuse of office, and conflict of interest. The new allegations were due to actions he performed while in office that benefited his friend and former Vancouver MP Herb Dhaliwal. In his memoirs, “A Measure of Defiance”, former BC Premier Mike Harcourt commented that “Although the B.C. Law Society denied the allegation, the hint that the investigation of our outspoken environment minister was politically motivated was too strong to be dismissed that quickly. This was, after all, British Columbia, the heart of nasty, partisan politics. There was no public outcry over the incident and to most of his constituents, reporters and even political adversaries, Moe’s credibility did not suffer seriously.
In 1996 Dhaliwal had applied to the Motor Carrier Commission for several licences related to a limousine company partly owned by Dhaliwal and run by Sihota’s cousin. It was later revealed by the former Commission chairman that Sihota had made repeated calls and wrote several letters to the commission in relation to Dhaliwal’s applications. Sihota again resigned from cabinet in 1996. A new investigation was started not by the Conflict of Interest Commissioner, but by fellow NDP party member and Glen Clark deputy minister Doug McArthur. Although McArthur found that Sihota had “exercised poor judgment and bullied commission staff”, he found that Sihota had not been in a conflict of interest. Glen Clark then reappointed Sihota back to cabinet in 1998.
Sihota was elected the NDP Candidate for the riding of Esquimalt Port Renfrew in 1986 to replace Frank Mitchell. Sihota won the seat easily, becoming the first Indo-Canadian elected to any federal riding or provincial.
His undergraduate years at UBC saw him serve as the Ombudsman and Vice-President of the Board of Governors. He became President of the Young New Democrats in 1978 and also served as the President of Cowichan–Malahat–The Islands Federal NDP as well as being the campaign manager for Frank Mitchell and Jim Manly who were elected to the British Columbia Legislature and the House of Commons of Canada respectively. Sihota was elected an Alderman in Esquimalt in 1984.
In 1991, Sihota ran for and won re-election in the new riding of Esquimalt-Metchosin as part of an NDP landslide victory. Subsequently, he was named by Premier Mike Harcourt in his first cabinet, the Minister of Labour and Consumer Services as well as Minister Responsible for Constitutional Affairs, becoming the first Indian-Canadian cabinet minister in a province of Canada.
