The Dippers Have Some Questions For The Pacific Carbon Trust Re: Wazuku.

More specifically, BC-NDP Finance critic Bruce Ralston has questions for Pacific Carbon Trust CEO Scott MacDonald that include the following:

- Were...senior managers responsible for the decision to hire public relations firms to manage the release of this damning report (from the Auditor General)?

- Was any direction received from government to take this course of action?

- Specifically, was it the intent of the Pacific Carbon Trust from the outset to discredit the work of the Auditor General through the use of public relations firms?

-Did the contracted organizations work with third parties in an 'orchestrated letter-writing campaign from domestic and foreign entities' that served to undrmine the Auditor general and his work?

- How much were the public relations firms paid for their work?

- Do these firms continue to be retained by the Pacific Carbon Trust?


All important questions that should be answered by the CEO of a public body that utilizes/spends public funds.

I would add another:

- Did the Board of Directors of Pacific Carbon Trust, of which a principal of the public relations firm Wazuku Advisory Group, Mr. Michael Watson, is a member, have any knowledge of your hiring of the PR firms that included, according to the Vancouver Sun, the Wazuku Advisory Group?


OK?
