There is nobody on Christy Clark's trade mission to Asia promoting the sale of residential real estate, the B.C. premier said in a tweet Monday morning.
"We are focused on growing B.C.'s economy and creating jobs. There is no promotion of B.C. residential real estate. Full stop," said Clark's tweet.
Clark published the tweet after concerns were raised last week about representatives of two real estate companies travelling with her on the trade mission to Asia, at a time when many people are calling for measures to limit foreign real estate investment in the province's red hot real estate market.
The B.C. government lists more than 60 companies taking part in the trade mission to Korea, Japan and the Philippines as part of the province's strategy to create more international trading partners. The trade mission is not visiting China.
Listed among those companies are two real estate brokerages — Nu Stream Realty and Sutton West Coast Realty.

Residential real estate sales not part of Asia Trade mission, says Christy Clark - British Columbia - CBC News
Google Nu Stream realty and you will see that they have been involved in some shady type dealings in the past with cash bonuses, etc.

For example, there is a five bedroom, five bathroom home on Nolan Street in Burnaby South that is asking $1,188,000. It’s listed by Nu Stream Realty Inc. and comes with the offer of a $5,000 bonus (in addition to a typical commission of 3.255 % on the first $100,000 and 1.15 % on the rest of the sale amount.)
