BC Public Office Background

This individual has not held any public office positions in BC.

Lobbying Activities

Elections

Development, establishment, amendment or termination of any program, policy or decision

Introduction, modification or repeal of legislation, a bill or regulation

Working to change an absurd and possibly unconstitutional Elections Act which penalizes small groups and individuals even inadvertently taking part in the electoral process. The lack of a floor for spending by so-called ¿election advertising sponsors¿ is absurd, especially combined with the ridiculously broad definition of what constitutes ¿advertising¿.

Minister Campbell, Gordon Premier May 20, 2010
Minister de Jong, Mike Minister of Attorney General May 20, 2010

Freedom of Information

Development, establishment, amendment or termination of any program, policy or decision

Introduction, modification or repeal of legislation, a bill or regulation

Continue fighting a frustrating battle against a government which seems intent on taking the most restrictive view of freedom of information, and where that is not possible, using its majority to remove the tools that exist to find out what they are up to. See Bill 20 and stripping of powers of the Representative for Children and Youth, and ensuing court case. Hope against hope that by pointing out the absurdity of their position that some positive change might be achieved.

Health

Development, establishment, amendment or termination of any program, policy or decision

Introduction, modification or repeal of legislation, a bill or regulation

Hoping against hope that the government will use the E Health Act to allow citizens some measure of protection and control over their personal health information.
