For the week of Sept. 15, 2024:
On the way to B.C.’s Oct. 19 election, David Eby’s NDP government issued a secret order to the province’s forestry policing service.
In a nutshell, it says do not investigate government wrongdoing.
It became public because of Bryce Casavant, a former forestry investigator and conservation officer. He exposed what is officially called “General Order #5” in a story for the TheConversation.com.
He says it compromises those who are responsible for upholding laws to protect the province’s environment and economy.
“It’s an unlawful order,” Casavant told thePodcast host Bob Mackin. “It should be rescinded immediately.”
Bryce Casavant lectures at Royal Roads University’s School of Humanitarian Studies about legal aspects of environmental management. He is Mackin’s guest on this edition of thePodcast.
Plus, this week’s Pacific Rim and Pacific Northwest headlines.
