City conflict of Interest goes to UBCM
with SQCRD ‘helping’ ·
I will return to PNCIMA etc Friday ---
where Mussallem declares ‘City of Prince Rupert’ opposed to some conspiracy
or other |
|
Mayor Jack
Mussallem brought this issue to SQCRD table Friday and asked that the Board also
support Trail’s resolution B154 at UBCM 2010 Convention
this week at Whistler --- here
is B154 (and in part below) B154 FINANCING THE
DELIVERY OF EMPLOYMENT SERVICES begins with WHEREAS
the transfer of Employment Insurance funds from the federal government to the
provincial government under the Labour Market Development Agreement and the related business
transformation process currently underway will result in a significant
restructuring of the procurement and delivery of employment and training
services for clients;------dah dah dah And here is a page on
Bedard’s Hecate Strait’s web site saying
‘This program is funded by
HRSDC (Canada) and the Ministry of Economic Development (Province)through the
Labour Market
Development Agreement’ QED |
If Des has some low
level ‘conflict of interest (his work
with T Buck Suzuki should make him ineligible to be the SQCRD rep in PNCIMA process etc)--- then Kathy Bedard
seems to have ‘major issues’ with ‘Conflict of Interest’ – thus her request
at last council meeting (see excerpt below) ’ – She should have had another
Councillor speak to B154– as she is Executive Director at affected (Hecate Straits) and thus the new
provincial ‘integrated system’ program potentially takes away her funding
– therefore ‘clearly’ Section
102 (of the Community Charter) applies – see the QED left and below for ‘proof’ |
|
--
see ‘late breaking
news’ at end of document Are
there Remedies? At
times the Community Charter sounds very high minded (in general, meetings
must be open to public, etc)– but the application may prove difficult ---
thus a trip to the local Courts would be needed where Conflict alleged etc

Here
I will deal with the Coastal Rivers Power –owner of Queen Charlotte Power Corporation—which
has a 6 MW hydro facility at Sandspit |

Buried
waste at Power Company site on QCI/ HG |
|
Farrell
found this item ‘very frustrating’ – thus the Province turned a blind eye to the
company burying material many years ago on land not theirs – now liability
issues make them think twice as leachates near 2 creeks and Moresby Lake etc
---thus extend the lease to include the ‘dump site’ etc |
|
Looking for the
parent company on the WWW |
Queen
Charlotte Power Corp – a subdivision of Coastal Rivers Power Corporation |
|
Nothing
found on the parent company – but see ‘phone
book’ provides good map of the Sandspit facility --- |
|
Capital
Power Corporation
web site |
Bingo
--- Seems all these companies have been rolled into a single large corporate
entity – thus the map from brochure on their site --- note too they own Brown
Lake dam in Rupert area |
|
See the Tyee article
--- EPCOR did some financial footwork and rolled all the power companies into
Capital Power Corporation which did some more fancy stock dealing etc ---
(see the Tyee article) – bottom line is that Capital Power Income L.P now
owns Moresby facility etc --- and the 3 BC entities made CPILP a net profit
of $15.7 million --- -- it gets worse – read the article |

|
Area D
official Plan |
|
Note HB Lanarc consultants
paid $28,500 for Area D OCP – which is still in Public input phase--- As $$
done (illegally in-camera) we’ll never know where the $$ coming from |
|
|
I will
return to this Friday |
|
This was Bedard’s
rationale for the necessity of reducing Recycling facilities hours |
|
|
Late Breaking news
|
|
Perhaps
the B154 Resolution at UBCM changed the Government’s mind – we see a very
recent press release saying ‘the ministry is extending 268 Labour Market
Development Agreement (LMDA) Service Provider agreements to March 31, 2012’ Read
the rest here . |
