Premier Eby gave a scathing rebuke of B.C. Housing\u0027s ex\u002DCEO and the way millions of dollars were awarded to non\u002Dprofit led by his wife.
The report found 24 cases where Ramsay directly communicated with other B.C. Housing employees related to Atira. Both Ramsay and former chief financial officer, Abbas Barodawalla, had a pattern of deleting text messages relating to funding decisions. Barodawalla was fired before the report was released.
Eby announced Monday there would be a freeze on public funding to Atira and that a government-appointed overseer would be assigned to review the non-profit’s operations. The audit, completed by Ernst and Young and delivered to the government in March, was tabled in the Legislature Monday morning.B.C. United, formerly the B.C. Liberals, have blamed Eby for the “chaos” at B.C. Housing. He was attorney general and minister responsible for housing since 2018.
