And at least one board member is saying that Mr. Eby’s move to dismiss the whole board, blame them for doing nothing and continue to cast doubt on BC Housing management seems more like a calculated political move than a genuine effort to improve anything. But, the board members said, the evidence in the second report, dated June 20, 2022, was not something their lawyers felt was strong enough to protect BC Housing from a wrongful-dismissal lawsuit from Mr. Ramsay if they proceeded only on that basis.
Both she and Mr. Staniscia said the board was concerned that a report about conflict and relationships had been done by an accounting firm with no real experience of dealing with that kind of issue. The board was preparing to hire a Victoria woman with expertise in examining organizational conflict of interest.
The two also noted that, contrary to what Ernst & Young summaries and the Premier said, the board had already taken action to strengthen conflict-of-interest guidelines, replacing the existing one-page policy covering Mr. Ramsay with a much more detailed one.
