Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
4th Session
42nd Parliament
C
You
thank
you
Mr
Speaker,
Mr
Speaker.
Yesterday
we
received
confirmation
of
the
premier's
horrific
mismanagement
of
BC
housing,
the
crown
Corporation
tasked
with
providing
housing
to
those
most
in
need.
This
total
mismanagement
occurred,
while
the
premier
was
directly
responsible
for
BC
housing,
but
clearly
was
asleep
at
the
switch
yet
to
believe
the
premier.
No
one
at
the
political
level
is
responsible,
not
the
member
for
Coquitlam
millardville.
When
she
was
the
minister
responsible,
not
the
premier
when
he
was
the
minister
responsible.
C
He
takes
no
responsibility,
but
I
remind
you,
Mr,
Speaker,
that
the
premier
was
the
one
that
made
the
treasury
board
submissions
for
the
90
million
dollars
that
he
secured
for
atira
without
Financial
reviews
being
in
place
and
despite
multiple
damning
reports
outlining
the
misuse
of
taxpayer
dollars.
So
my
question
for
the
premier:
why
did
the
premier
more
than
triple
the
funding
to
atira?
At
the
same
time,
he
buried
reports
that
were
suggesting
exactly
the
kind
of
gross
Financial
mismanagement.
A
Thank
you
so
much
Oliver
speaker
well
we're
responsible
for
the
report
that
was
just
released
to
the
public.
The
first
time
in
BC's
history
released
without
redaction,
so
the
public
can
see
the
challenges.
Honorable
speaker,
we
take
this
responsibility
very
seriously.
Now
I
think
it's
important
for
those
watching
at
home
to
have
the
context
of
of
of
the
steps
that
were
taken.
Premier
became
the
minister
responsible
for
housing.
He
saw
some
issues
that
concerned
him.
He
he
went
to
the
office
Controller
General
he
actually
brought
in
ey.
A
They
made
recommendations
last
year
on
things.
Bc
housing
can
do
to
ensure
that
there's
greater
oversight
of
projects,
those
things
many
of
them
have
been
done
and
many
are
more
under
progress,
but
they
also
identified
some
specific
new
challenges
or
new
issues
that
they
felt
was
needed
further
investigation
and
that's
what
the
premiers
took.
The
next
steps
on
was
to
bring
ey
in,
as
was
highlighted.
Yesterday,
A
Team
flew
in
from
Toronto
to
look
at
this
new
information.
A
Now
the
information
is
clear
here
that
the
former
CEO
Mr
Ramsey
and
the
CEO
of
attera,
who
are
married,
saw
some
additional
benefits,
because
this,
the
former
CEO,
was
pushing
staff
to
send
more
contracts
and
more
dollars
to
aterra
at
the
expense
of
others.
Now
Arnold
schweeker,
we
all
agree
in
this
house
that
rules
must
be
followed.
It's
unacceptable,
Behavior!
That's
why
I
felt
strongly
that
this
report,
the
information
that
was
made
available
to
us
needed
to
be
made
public.
A
Now
it's
important
for
everyone
in
this
house
to
know
that
around
2020
we
were
in
a
pandemic.
There
were
additional
dollars
required
for
the
not-for-profits
to
support
the
most
vulnerable
people
in
this
province.
Now,
what
is
unacceptable
and
what
the
report
highlights
was
that
the
decisions
made
by
then
the
CEO
of
BC
housing
to
direct
award
contracts
to
atera
and
not
make
them
available
for
other
not-for-profits
is
unacceptable.
It's
it's
wrong.
We
all
agree
on
that
in
this
house,
but
what?
What
is
what
was
viable
during
the
pandemic?
B
C
Mr
Speaker,
that
is
possibly
the
most
ridiculous
amount
of
spin
I,
have
ever
seen
on
a
subject
that
that
this
government
is
entirely
responsible
for
so
let's
do
have
some
context.
It
actually
goes
back
to
2018
when
BDO
and
accounting
firm
came
out
with
a
scathing
report
on
the
mismanagement
and
and
carelessness
with
with
taxpayer
dollars
that
was
taking
place
at
BC,
housing,
Corporation
and
adatera.
What
did
the
NDP
do
with
that
report?
They
buried
it
for
four
years.
It
was
only
when
this
opposition
brought
it
forward
that.
C
Finally,
we
started
to
find
out
that
there
was
huge
problems
there.
So
what
was
the
premier's
response?
He
initially
said
he
hadn't
seen
the
report.
He
wasn't
aware
of
it
the
next
day.
Apparently
his
memory
was
refreshed.
Now
he
had
some
familiarity
with
the
report,
but
that
that
was
only
after
he
had
BC
housing
draft,
a
press
release
saying,
oh,
that's
all
been
taken
care
of.
That
was
all
old
news
that
we've
all
taken
care
of.
That
was
not
the
case.
C
The
BDO
report
found
incorrect,
incomplete
misleading
information,
and
yet,
during
this
entire
time
we
saw
more
reports
come
on.
Now
we
have
their
stanyan
report
come
out
which
the
premier,
then
the
housing
Minister
responsible,
quietly
posted
on
the
Friday
evening
of
a
long
weekend.
Imagine
that
that's
the
ndp's
idea
of
transparency,
then
the
following
Friday:
what
does
he
do?
He
fires
the
entire
NDP
appointed
board.
That
was
that's
the
transparency
from
this
government,
this
NDP
government
and
then
after
firing,
the
board,
the
premier's
response.
C
Is
it
had
nothing
to
do
with
any
suggestion
of
impropriety
whatsoever.
Nothing
to
see
here,
folks,
that's
the
message
that
the
premier
and
the
NDP
have
been
giving
the
public,
and
we
know
now
that
that
was
not
true.
It
is
a
damning
pattern
of
evasion
and
misleading
and
not
being
straight
up
with
the
public,
and
you
owe
a
duty
to
the
public
to
stand
up
right
now
and
come
clean
about
the
fact
Mr
Speaker
that
90
million
dollars
by
this
current
Premier
went
before
treasure
board
that
he
brought
forward.
C
A
A
It's
honorable
speaker,
it's
it's
not
it's
not
ripping
Pages
out
of
a
report.
It's
not
ripping
pages
on
a
report
which
we've
seen
members.
A
Triple
deleting
emails,
that's
not
what
is
Honorable
speaker
this.
This
is
not
documenting
things
on
Post-it
notes.
Honorable
speaker,
this
is
seeing
a
report,
that's
clearly
in
the
public
interest
and
releasing
it
for
the
first
time
in
BC's
history
under
Freedom
of
Information
at
Colonial
speaker,
that's
transparency,
members
that
that
level
of
transparency
is
shameful.
Maybe
the
member
will
have
a
question
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
that.
Now
the
member
talks
about
a
BDO
report.
A
A
Honorable
speaker
I
think
it's
a
fair
comment
for
the
public
to
ask
that
since
2012
there's
been
news
stories
about
this,
in
fact,
in
2012
there
was
a
report
asking
the
minister
at
the
time
around
conflict
of
interest,
because
by
the
way
this
relationship
started
in
2010
and
at
the
time
Minister
Coleman
said,
I
can
assure
you
that
everything
was
done
that
had
to
be
done
and
then
some
we
were.
A
F
C
But
the
truly
shocking
the
truly
shocking
element
here-
Mr
Speaker,
is
the
fact
that
this
premium,
while
sitting
on
two
extremely
damaging
reports,
the
earlier
BDO
report
from
2018
and
the
Ernst
young
report,
which
disclosed
and
exposed
all
the
financial
management
that
was
taking
place
at
BC
housing
under
the
premier's
watch.
While
he
was
Minister
responsible
and
particularly
the
mismanagement
that
was
taking
place
at
their
largest
housing
provider
atira,
he
still
felt
it
was
appropriate
to
increase
the
funding
by
335
percent
to
that
Housing
Organization.
C
That
is
fascinating
to
me,
but
yesterday,
I
heard
the
premier
say
that
he
as
he
tried
to
shift
blame
entirely
from
his
own
failures.
The
premier,
astonishingly,
had
the
audacity
to
claim
in
this
house,
and
I
quote:
he
was
concerned
about
the
spike
in
funding
at
here
end
of
quote.
Well.
That
is
really
interesting,
given
that
he
was
the
minister
that
brought
it
forward
to
treasury
board
and
asked
for
that.
That's
for
90
million
dollars.
C
This
shocking
misrepresentation,
evasion,
blame
shifting
by
this
Premier
is
exemplifies
what
is
going
on
and
why
we
have
not
got
housing
for
the
society's
most
vulnerable.
No
wonder
they
haven't
come
close
to
meeting
their
housing
targets.
If
not
this
Premier,
then
who
is
responsible
for
the
massive
run-up
in
funding
to
atira
and
the
gross
mismanagement
that
was
outlined
in
that
report?
Who
is
responsible.
A
Thank
you
so
much
honorable
speaker,
there's
so
much
misinformation
in
there
I
don't
know
where
to
start
I,
don't
know
where
to
start
I'll
start
with
members.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
So
much
honorable
speaker,
first
I'll
start
with
releasing
the
report.
When
the
report
was
made
available
to
me
immediately
upon
reading,
it
I
believe
that
it
was.
D
A
A
Upon
receiving
the
report,
I
was
very
disturbed
by
the
findings.
I
made
sure
immediately
that
staff
stopped
any
additional
funding
that
may
be
going
to
a
Terra.
I
then
expressed
my
to
my
team
to
the
legal
team.
That
was
advising
me
that
I
believed
that
this
should
be
released
to
the
public,
because
it's
in
the
public
interest
I
was
advised
that,
in
order
to
do
so,
that
I
must
inform
the
entities
named
in
the
report
and
give
them
sufficient
time
to
make
representations.
The
deadline
was
April
25th
for
representations.
A
Then
we
out
Pawn
a
request
extended
that
to
April
28th
after
that
I
reviewed
the
representations
and
made
the
decision
last
week.
That
I
still
believe
that
the
report
should
be
received
made
available
to
the
public
without
any
reduction
owner
speaker.
Those
are
the
steps
we
took.
That's
the
level
of
transparency
that
we
want
to
insure.
Now.
The
member
talks
about
the
90
million
dollars
I
think
it's
important
to
note
that
we
were
in
the
middle
of
a
pandemic.
We
had
people
who
had
extreme
needs.
A
I
know
that
people
want
to
forget
about
that
time
and
certainly
I
think
it's
easier
to
forget
about
that
time,
but
we
had
people
who
needed
supports,
and
so
we
increased
the
amount
of
Investments
to
ensure
that
people
had
housing.
People
had
all
the
types
of
supports
they
need
now.
What
is
fundamentally
wrong,
honorable
speaker
is
with
that
support
that
was
provided
that
BC
housing
under
the
direction
of
the
former
CEO
was
directing
funds
more
to
his
partners,
not-for-profit
and
not
to
other
not-for-profits
honorable.
E
Mr
Speaker
I
have
a
copy
of
a
letter
dated
May.
The
4th
of
this
year,
signed
by
the
present
chair
of
BC
housing
and
sent
to
a
tier
it
includes
a
series
of
Demands
included
in
those
demands,
is
a
a
demand
for
what
they
term
leadership
renewal.
A
Thank
you
Arnold
speaker.
The
letter
was
sent
from
the
the
chair
of
BC
housing,
who
is
a
Mount
of
Integrity
who
served
here
as
the
deputy
attorney
general
under
the
the
opposition
when
they
were
in
government.
He
followed
up
on
a
conversation
that
he
had
with
the
chair
of
atera.
Regarding
the
concerns
that
were
raised
in
the
report.
A
My
view
is
certainly
that,
in
order
for
them
to
continue
to
serve
the
public
in
a
good
way
and
serve
the
most
vulnerable
people
that
they
take,
the
actions
that
are
required
to
ensure
the
public
has
conference
that
they
can
continue
to
do
so.
Honorable
speaker
and
certainly
I
suspect.
That's
what
the
chair
conveyed
to
the
chair
of
the
Tariff.
E
Thanks
honorable
chair,
quite
frankly
in
the
aftermath
of
the
report
that
has
been
tabled,
I
would
have
thought
that
the
minister,
the
premier,
the
government,
would
be
in
a
position
to
provide
more
certain
information
than
on
guessing
it's
pretty
clear.
That
orders
were
given
to
send
this
to
send
this
letter
to
atira.
E
E
We
declined
to
do
so
at
this
time
and
we
continue
to
have
confidence
in
our
executive
team.
So
the
premier,
who
wants
to
maintain
this
facade
that
he
was
a
hapless
victim
unaware
of
all
of
these
shenanigans
that
were
taking
place,
has
now
sent
a
letter
via
BC
housing.
Saying
I
want
you
to
fire
someone
and
the
agencies.
He
sent
it
to
and
said.
No,
so
what's
Premier
gonna
do
about
it.
A
Thank
you
Arnold
speaker.
Surely
the
member
knows
that
they're,
an
independent
organization,
arm's
length
away
from
government
decisions
made
about
their
leadership
in
the
end
decisions
made
by
them
ultimately
in
the
end,
will
be
made
by
their
board.
Certainly
I've
already
made
it
clear
that
I'm
of
the
opinion
that
changes
need
to
happen
there.
It
can't
be
business
as
usual.
Honorable
speaker,
it
cannot
be
business
as
usual.
A
Now
the
the
letter,
the
member
refers
to
also
mentioned
that
the
CEO
hadn't
read
the
report
that
only
their
board
chair
had
read
the
report.
That's
unacceptable,
given
the
severity
of
the
findings
that
the
CEO
and
the
other
board
members
hadn't
read
the
report.
Yet
that
was
a
position
they've
taken
I
think
is
is
very
troubling,
but
that
being
said,
honor
speaker,
the
decisions
made
by
the
board
around
their
leadership
has
got
to
be
made
by
them.
A
What
we
are
going
to
be
doing
is
taking
the
actions
that
we
need
to
do
we're,
starting
immediately
inspections
on
all
of
the
Terra
sites,
we're
freezing
all
new
additional
fundings
that
are
going
to
atera
we're
asking
for
a
independent
government
representative
to
keep
an
eye
on
some
of
the
actions
that
they'll
be
taking.
These
are
the
steps
that
we
can
take
within
the
the
Realms
of
what
we
have
and
we're
going
to
continue
to
urge
them
to
do
the
right
thing.
F
Thank
you.
Mr
Speaker
ask
the
minister
of
Public
Safety
about
independent
oversight
of
the
BC
conservation
service.
The
bccos
website
says:
quote
conservation
officers
are
highly
trained,
dedicated
individuals
responsible
for
enforcing
33,
Federal
and
provincial
statutes.
They
hold
special
provincial
Constable
status
under
the
police
act
and
have
unrestricted
appointment
to
enforce
acts
and
statutes
and
protect
the
public
and
preserve
the
peace
and
quote
they
dress.
F
Like
police
drive,
police-like
vehicles
use
police-like
tactics,
carry
police
like
assault
rifles,
have
all
the
powers
under
the
police
act
but
are
not
subject
to
police-like
Independent
oversight
and
have
no
constabulary
Independence.
They
are
directly
responsible
to
the
minister
of
the
environment.
F
The
minister
of
Public
Safety
responded
that
incidents
with
weapons
should
go
to
the
in
independent
investigations,
office
and
issues.
Around
toxicity
of
culture
should
go
to
the
public
service
agency,
but
section
6
of
the
police
act
States.
The
Public
Service
Act,
does
not
apply
to
special
con
provincial
constables,
while
in
the
course
of
exercising
a
constabulary
duty.
So
is
the
Public
Service
Agency,
acting
like
the
police
complaints,
commissioner,
for
special
constables
when
I
tried
to
ask
them
that
question
I
got
rerouted
back
to
the
bccps
Chief
and
the
ministry
of
the
environment.
F
H
Safety.
Thank
you.
Honorable,
chair
I
appreciate
the
question
from
the
member
as
I
have
stated
previously
in
this
house
and
in
the
estimates
process
there
are
changes
coming
to
the
police
act.
This
fall.
There
will
be
the
first
phase
which
we'll
be
dealing
with
governance
and
accountability
and
I'm
expecting
to
table
that
legislation.
This
fall.
F
It's
been
a
year,
Mr
Speaker
of
lack
of
oversight
for
the
BC
conservation
service.
The
Antiquated
legislation
unleashes
the
authority
of
the
minister
of
the
environment
to
direct
a
provincial
policing
agency,
the
BC
conservation
service
in
environmental
investigations,
investigations
of
serious
and
potential
serious
environmental
crime
like
Mount
Paley
and
large-scale
Forestry
non-compliances,
Mr
Speaker
to
admit
the
bccos
is
a
fully
functional
and
unrestricted
environmental
policing
agency.
It
limits
the
powers
of
the
public
service
agency
and
the
BC
General
employees
union
restricting
the
bcndp's
ability
to
access
information
or
influence
investigations
over
environmental
crimes.
F
The
provincial
government
would
be
subject
to
internal
policing,
reviews
of
environmental
decisions
under
both
the
provincial
offense
provision
and
perhaps
the
criminal
code
of
Canada
starting
to
see
why
it's
taking
a
year.
For
this
to
happen,
constabulary
Independence
should
be
enforced
and
as
a
cardinal
principle
of
our
democracy
and
rule
of
law,
Mr
Speaker,
just
as
the
minister
of
Public
Safety,
reminds
me
often
in
this
house
about
the
rule
of
love
conservation.
F
My
question
is
again
through
you,
Mr
Speaker
to
the
minister
of
Public
Safety,
the
police
Act
is
his
responsibility,
he's
currently
allowing
this
heavily
armed
service
with
all
the
powers
of
police,
but
no
independent
oversight
to
be
under
the
direct
control
of
his
Minister
as
colleague,
the
minister
of
the
environment,
serious
crimes
need
investigation
and
his
loitering
is
threatening
the
safety
of
the
public
and
the
people
who
do
his
work.
Does
he
support
the
status
quo.
H
H
We
have
a
very
professional
conservation
service
in
the
province
of
British
Columbia,
composed
of
men
and
women
who
do
their
job
and
they
effectively,
and
they
take
that
job
seriously,
as
I
outlined
to
the
member
during
estimates
that
if
there
was
an
issue,
for
example,
with
a
firearm,
the
independent
investigations
office
has
every
ability
to
investigate
which
they
would
at
the
same
time,
I
have
also
outlined
that
there
are
changes
coming
in
terms
of
the
police
act
on
the
work
in
part
of
the
work
of
the
all
Party,
Committee
and
I
can
tell
a
member,
as
I
said
in
estimates,
there
has
been
a
significant
amount
of
work
underway
on
those
changes
in
terms
of
consultation,
not
only
with
stakeholders,
indigenous
Nations
but
communities
right
across
the
province.
H
Honorable
member
and
a
key
part
of
those
changes
that
I
said
are
coming
in
the
fall
deal
with
issues
of
governance
and
accountability,
which
includes
oversight.
So
honorable,
honorable
speaker,
the
work
has
been
underway.
It
has
been
thorough.
There
are
changes
coming
in
the
fall.
I
can
tell
the
member
that
we
have
a
very
professional
conservation
officer,
our
officers
in
this
province,
and
they
do
an
amazing
job.
I
Thank
you,
Mr
Speaker.
The
draft
BDO
report,
which
first
identified
mismanagement
atatura,
was
completed
in
November
of
2018..
That
was
five
years
ago,
Mr
Speaker
page
six
of
the
BDO
report,
States
very
clearly
that
this
was
based
on
a
review
of
atira's
2018
financial
statements.
This
draft
report
was
then
systematically
concealed
both
by
the
premier
and
his
capacity
as
Minister
of
Housing
and
his
predecessor
until
a
whistleblower
leaked
that
report
just
this
last
year,
so
Mr
Speaker.
A
Thank
you,
honorable
speaker
and
the
you
know
the
statement
the
member
made
us
false
the
the
decision.
The
decision
around
the
BDO
report
was
made
by
the
board,
which
then,
when
the
premier
became
the
premier,
he
changed
the
board.
It
wasn't
a
decision
made
by
the
minister.
It
wasn't
brought
to
the
minister
at
the
time
that
was
responsible
and
and
so
and
then,
as
far
as
the
90
million
dollars
I
mean
I've
already
answered
that
question,
which
is
the
90
million
dollars.
A
Additional
funding
was
about
supporting
the
most
vulnerable
people
through
the
pandemic.
We
did
make
historic
Investments
through
the
pandemic,
to
support
people
to
support
businesses.
Honorable
speaker,
that's
why
we've
come
out
of
the
pandemic
in
a
better
way
than
many
other
jurisdictions
around
the
world.
Honorable
speaker
decision
wasn't
made
to
give
90
million
dollars
to
a
Tarot
decision
was
made
to
give
additional
dollars
in
the
portfolio
to
support
the
most
vulnerable
people
now
do
I
agree
with
a
member
that
it
was
inappropriate
for
the
former
CEO
of
VC
housing
members.
D
A
A
To
Great
extent,
to
not
only
direct
award
dollars
to
aterra,
but
also
to
hide
it
from
others
on
the
board
from
hide
it
from
some
of
their
colleagues
honorable
speaker
and
that
type
of
behavior
is
unacceptable.
G
Well,
thank
you
very
much,
Mr
Speaker
and
by
any
measure
this
Minister
can
stand
up
and
he
can
try
to
duck
and
Dodge
all
he
wants,
but
by
any
measure
this
is
a
damning
report
and
all
of
the
evidence,
all
of
it
points
to
a
premier
who
knew
about
significant
mismanagement
and
he
failed
to
act.
That's
what
the
public
understands.
Let's
look
at
page
seven
of
the
report,
because
what
it
reveals
is
that,
under
this
premier's
watch
and
I
quote,
feces
housing,
Financial
reviews
of
atira
have
been
substantially
delayed.
G
The
most
recent
completed
financial
review
was
for
fiscal
year
2020
and
it
was
finalized
in
August
of
2022
end
quote.
So.
Instead
of
ensuring
that
Financial
reviews
were
completed,
what
did
the
premier
do
in
his
role
as
the
housing
Minister?
He
made
treasury
board
submissions
knowing
all
about
the
mismanagement,
and
what
did
he
do?
He
secured
an
additional
90
million
dollars
for
atira,
so
maybe
the
premier
could
answer
this
question.
Why
on
Earth
did
he
triple
a
terrorist
funding
without
any
completed
Financial
reviews
since
2020.
A
Thank
you,
honorable
speaker,
when
the
premier
saw
something
inappropriate,
he
took
action
on
her
speaker
when
he
saw
something
inappropriate,
took
actionable
speaker.
The.
D
A
You
honor
speaker
when
he
first
saw
that
there
was
something
inappropriate
there
when
he
was
shown
text
messages
of
the
former
CEO
encouraging
staff
to
award
direct
contracts
to
atera.
He
brought
in
the
changes
in
EV.
A
He
replaced
the
board
because
he
knew
that
there
were
going
to
be
there's
going
to
be
more
capacity
needed
there
to
make
the
transformational
changes
that
needed
to
happen
on
our
speaker
and
if
the
member,
if
the
I
mean
there,
the
members
are
appalled
that
the
former
CEO
took
steps
to
urge
staff
to
direct
award
money
to
atera
we're
all
with
them.
We
think
that's
unappropriate,
that's
wrong
on
our
speaker.
That's
why
we
released
the
report
as
the
way
we
have
done.
A
Auto
speaker
now,
I
also
share
with
the
member
the
concern
that
there
was
a
culture
that
was
established
at
BC
housing,
where,
if
aterra
came
for
dollars
that
they
were
given
dollars
to
help
them
with
cash
flow
and
other
issues,
that's
that's
wrong
again.
Findings
in
this
report.
We
made
public
honor
speaker,
but
for
the
members
to
suggest
that
all
of
a
sudden,
this
all
happened,
2012,
there's
reports
when
they
were
in
government
where
people
were
suggesting
that.
D
A
A
The
relationship
started
in
2010
honorable
speaker,
and
so
yes,
I
think
that
it's
fair
for
people
to
say
how,
from
2010
to
2012
when
their
new
started,
how
come
action
wasn't
taken.
What
I
can
share
with
the
members
is
when
the
premier
saw
something
inappropriate,
he
took
steps
to
ensure
not
only
that
action
was
taken,
but
the
report
was
made
public.
J
Thank
you
very
much,
Mr
Speaker
well
for
the
the
minister
opposite
to
frame
this
as
a
premier
taking
action
is
actually
pathetic
and
it's
laughable
it
is.
It
is
not
borne
out
by
the
facts.
The
the
fact
of
the
matter
is
this:
the
premier
has
his
fingerprints
all
over
this
scandal
at
a
Tira
in
BC
housing
and,
let's
just
let's
just
refresh
everyone's
memories.
Here
we
it
starts
with
a
video
records
being
buried
by
this
Premier
back
in
in
2020
after
he
became
the
minister
responsible
for
housing.
J
The
public
only
found
out
about
it
because
it
was
leaked
by
a
whistleblower.
Then
the
eny
review
of
BC
housing
is
posted
on
the
government's
website
over
the
Canada
Day
long
weekend.
Then
the
premier
fires
the
the
entire
board
in
June
of
2022,
and
looks
in
the
camera
and
tells
British
Clemens.
Don't
don't
worry
about
anything?
There
is
no
wrongdoing
whatsoever
here.
J
In
fact,
the
premier
goes
so
far
as
to
direct
base
see
housing
when
he
was
the
minister
responsible
for
housing
to
actually
have
PC
housing
issue,
a
news
release
telling
British
appointments
that
all
is
fine
at
BC
housing.
Then
the
premier
leaves
cabinet
for
his
his
leadership
campaign
in
July
of
2022
still
with
the
BDO
report
being
being
sat
on,
he
then
tells
when
he
comes
back
to
to
to
the
executive
Council
as
Premier.
J
He
tells
cknw
tells
British
Columbians
through
ckw
that
he
knows
nothing
about
this
report
only
to
change
his
tune.
The
very
next
day
where
he
says
and
I
quote
I
didn't
recognize
the
report
that
the
reporter
was
describing
to
me,
but
I
am
familiar
with
that
report
now.
Oh,
how
convenient
is
that
then
he
announces
that
he
has
secretly
launched
a
an
eny,
a
second
dny
investigation,
this
time,
a
forensic
audit,
but
but
sits
on
that
for
for
two
months.
Throughout
this
entire
period,
this
Premiere
increases
funding
at
atira
members.
J
J
Mr
Speaker,
then
the
premier
says
that
then
we
find
out
that
all
funding
has
been
suspended
at
a
Tira.
Only.
D
J
We're
told
that
actually,
there
are
still
projects
that
are
being
funded
for
atira
Mr
Speaker.
This
is
an
absolute
and
complete
mess
and
it's
characteristic
of
how
this
Premier
does
business
evasion,
blame
finger-pointing
and
deception.
The
question
is
this:
how
is
it
that
nobody
most
of
not
least
of
which
the
premier,
how
is
it
that
nobody
has
stood
up
and
been
accountable
for
the
consequences
of
this
Scandal,
which
has
happened
under
the
previous
walk.
A
Thank
you
so
much
honorable
speaker,
the
premier
saw
something
inappropriate
and
he
took
action
home
speaker.
He
didn't.
He
didn't
rip
Pages
out
of
an
ICBC
report.
No,
when
he
saw
something
inappropriate,
he
saw
changes
needed.
He
did
it
on
our
speaker,
honor
speaker.
He
didn't
triple
delete,
triple
delete
emails.
D
D
A
Premier
has
touched
he
has
made
sure
that
there's
full
transparency
ICBC
but
BC
Lottery
Corporation
the
changes
around
money
laundering,
almost
speaker.
What
we
saw
was
something
inappropriate.
We
took
action
on
the
speaker.
We
made
the
report
members.
