.....Lightly
Here's the dressing down that the junior Donnie Segrettis and their CClark-connected seniors got for sitting 'round the digital campfire to cook-up their latest 'When did you stop beating your wife?' smear site while they were, apparently, working for the people of British Columbia (and taking our money for doing so)....
Good morning,
As you have read in today’s Vancouver Province, there is an article in which staff are accused of using Caucus funded email accounts to work on a partisan activity during business hours.
Given the nature of our positions, I realize that there are unique challenges that we face in performing our day-to-day tasks in supporting our BC Liberal MLAs. That being said, all of us must make sure we do not cross the line and perform tasks that contravene our Standards of Conduct.
Please note that our Standards of Conduct states that:
“If engaging in political party activities, employees must be able to retain the perception of impartiality in relation to their duties and responsibilities. Employees must not engage in political party activities during working hours or use government facilities, equipment or resources in support of these activities.”
What happened over a year ago is a reminder of what can happen when these lines are crossed. Those who had involvement in this incident have been reproached.
I wish to remind everyone to follow the Standards of Conduct. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you,
Prim Carson

That's it? Well I should be so lucky and so should the rest of us mere mortals. Of course we would get fired or suspended without pay or some-such.
Ahhhh, but there is something to see Rossk
"equipment or resources in support of these activities"
Resources, means NOT equipment, therefore anything that the PBA or GCPE or any other OIC appointment, they cannot use What they learned from what they do in their day to day grind of researching with the sole goal of smearing anyone who is not a card Carrying BC Liberal
The website for Ben James is called Government Caucus Research ... which seems to say it all. No partisan politics on the part of the researchers, on our dime.
The operative words by this administration (the most dishonest provincial administration of my lifetime)are "perception of impartiality", therefore is quite acceptable to be covertly deceptive but to be cautious when presenting overt deception.
What an absolute disgrace of a "government". If it was the NDP government shall we say it would be a different scenario?
The Conwest press has started to slag the NDP over this saying some NDP workers have done political work at some time during their career. It should be pointed out this was at work. They imply that the BC Liberal work by public servants during public servant work time is OK.
