The actions of the BC Liberals since 2002 prove that Greg Kyllo香蕉视频直播檚 polished statements on environmental integrity are dishonest and misleading.
In the early 2000s, Gordon Campbell香蕉视频直播檚 Liberals introduced an American import called the professional reliance model (PRM); a dark experiment in environmental stewardship.
The professional reliance model asks that corporations and other business interests hire their own independent 香蕉视频直播渜ualified professional香蕉视频直播 (QP) to ensure that government regulations are addressed. However, if by following government regulations the QP interferes with their client香蕉视频直播檚 plans (conflict of interest), the business-friendly PRM guarantees the client always has the upper hand (who pays the piper, calls the tune). The client is free to fire the QP. Conveniently, the QP is sworn to secrecy and silence by her/his professional code of ethics. When the word gets out, that QP may never find employment in B.C. again.
How香蕉视频直播檚 that for incentive to follow environmental regulations?
Meanwhile, the client is free to locate a conditioned QP who has learned how to behave.
To mention only a few PRM outcomes:
香蕉视频直播 Slope stability and landslide problems due to forest industry activities in the Shuswap in the past 10-15 years.
香蕉视频直播 The inevitable pollution of the Hullcar Aquifer by industrial-scale dairy operations. In advance of the May 9th election, Mr. Kyllo announced $950,000 of your tax dollars to apparently help.
香蕉视频直播 Canada香蕉视频直播檚 largest mining disaster, the breach of the Mount Polley (Imperial Metals Corp.) tailings pond into Quesnel Lake. We香蕉视频直播檙e paying the $40 million reclamation bill for Imperial Metals.
香蕉视频直播 Continued logging of endangered Southern Mountain Caribou critical habitat.
Is there a made in B.C. solution for this corrupt American PRM? Yes.
