Contradictory rules may give Order of BC to Campbell on a loophole, but rules also give the power to terminate as well.

Posted on by Laila

Let me address the rumours floating around that the Order of BC Advisory Council is going to rely on an “obscure rule” to appoint our disgraced former premier Gordon Campbell, to the Order of BC.

And I do think perhaps they will – using a loophole.

The Order of BC advisory council is likely going to use a rule written into the Act itself, that they may use interpretation thereof, to follow through with his appointment – despite the fact their own nomination rule contradicts it. ( see the print screen at the bottom of this post.)

Under the Provincial Honours and Symbols Act, http://www.protocol.gov.bc.ca/protocol/prgs/symbols/symbols_and_honours_act.htm#part2  , section 17, states the following :

17. Appointments

(1) Appointments to the Order must be made by the Lieutenant Governor in Council on the recommendation of the advisory council.

(2) A person who is an elected federal, provincial or municipal representative is not eligible to be appointed a member of the Order while that person remains in office.

(3) A person may not be appointed a member of the Order posthumously unless the advisory council recommends the appointment to the Lieutenant Governor in Council before the person’s death.

Aha. The act itself, states one can’t be appointed to the Order while an elected official….. but then, the rules of nomination, clearly state that one can’t even be nominated  while an elected official. A contradiction.

Clearly, one can not be appointed to the Order of BC, if they are not eligible to be nominated in the first place, as per the nomination rule… but wait. There is more.  

The catchpoint here, is that the nomination rule  used as the basis of the argument to deny Campbell the Order of BC (from the nomination information link on their website, “Your nominee must not currently be an elected person with federal, provincial or municipal governments. ” )  , is not officially included within the Act that governs the Order of BC itself.… yes indeed, they will use a loophole to appoint this undeserving man to the Order of BC, if they have to.

There is however, within the Act itself, this section:

18.1 Resignation and termination

(1) A member may resign from the Order by giving written notice of his or her intention to resign, signed by the member, to the Chancellor.

(2) The Chancellor may terminate a person’s membership in the Order

(a) on the recommendation of the advisory council, and
(b) with the approval of the executive council.

(3) If a person’s membership in the Order is terminated under subsection (2), the termination is effective when the Order in Council respecting the person’s membership is rescinded.

(4) If a person ceases to be a member of the Order under subsection (1) or (2), the person must immediately return the following to the secretary:

(a) the commission evidencing the appointment of the member;
(b) the insignia of the Order that were presented to the person.

So there you have it. If the Order of BC advisory council persists in appointing Gordon Campbell to the Order of BC, ona bloody loophole, he can still do the honourable thing and resign,  or the Chancellor can terminate his membership, on the recommendation and approval of that council, listed below:

You know what to do… carry on! Click on the image below for full size to see why this government has to go. It makes up rules for no apparent reason, since they have no intention of following them.

There are a couple of exceptions. Your nominee must not currently be an elected person with federal, provincial or municipal governments.

  2. Personally , I do not see that as an contradiction, but as an “or”.
    eg. If Campbell was not an elected official, and was hence nominated correctly under the rules, then was elected to office , he could NOT then be appointed.
    This is not the case , as he was not even nominated correctly, therefore the appointment is mute.
    Am I wrong??

    1. Very good point in that example Skip, thank you. But the Nomination rule is not part of the act, only the appointment rule is, so in this event I would say it is a loophole for them, becase the Act is absolute, while the rules created by the advisory councils could indeed vary year to year, as the Act does allow the council to make their own rules of governance.

  10. Hi Laila,

    Lest we forget! Brian Mulrony received the Order of Canada. After pocketing $10,000 plus in bribes from a German lobbyist in a brown paper bag. And then moved on to sue the Canadian Government (and winning) for defomation of character in this regard. Let the corporate and political pigs grovel. Personally I don’t give a shit!!! And karma will take it’s toll on these sick individuals.

    I guess what I’m saying is…paying attention to them offers them homage in a sense, and they relish the exposure (negative or positive). Let’s face it …these arrogant individuals could care less what the world thinks of them. They are TOTALLY egocentric. Ignore them in the media (mainstream or blogosphere)…that’s the one thing they can’t handle.

    Who gives an f**k about Gordon Campbell. I sure as hell don’t. He’s gone… good ridance
    Let’s promote recognition of some positive people (outside the political box). And not thru the Order of BC (it’s a PAB joke).

    Some Suggestions (off the top of my head):

    Alexandria Morton (Fish Biologist)
    Damien Gillis ( Prolific Filmmaker)
    Rafe Mair!!!!!! (need I say more…when will he be recognized for his contributions to British Columbia both as a long serving (dedicated ) politician, protector of the BC environment and at 80 years old a man of vision that we ALL should be recognizing NOW. He may pass in the next decade …why wait to honour him?

    In the light of Rafe Mair…Gordon Campbell…what a sick joke ! Go your way Gordo…we don’t care!!!!!

    That’s my thoughts Laila.

    Take care. Doug

  12. Well, one hopes this reaches the news desks at the Guardian and other UK papers who take the time to write articles on Canadian politics. That the new Canadian High Commissioner to the UK has this controversy swirling around him, and raising the spectre of his many wrongdoings while in office, is very much newsworthy along the lines of “who is this man and why does the province he comes from hate him so much?” A mass demonstration outside Government House on October 4 would go a long ways to drawing attention to him in the UK press, with quesitons to be raised about why he was appointed to that position AT ALL.

    Then they’ll get digging on the various controversies underlying the opposition to him getting the Order…this one act of cronyism and hubris may be the straw that broke the camel’s back as far as the international press goes…let’s hope so.

  15. I wonder if Campbell feels he has the right to accept the Odure of BC? No doubt he does. His arrogance always was disgusting. Enough to make a decent person barf.

    I’m afraid my family and I burst out laughing, when we read the story. I actually re-read it, I thought they may have said, his name was just considered. I still can’t believe, someone of the ilk of Campbell, would be allowed the OBC.

    Is the OBC honoring Campbell for, twice lying to be re-elected, for two different elections? Or perhaps Campbell’s theft and corrupt sale of the BCR? What about, Campbell’s theft and sale of our rivers, and the destruction of our hydro? Is Campbell being honored for his election lie, the HST wasn’t on his radar? How about his DUI, is that honorable? Especially when he sniveled and begged the BC citizens forgiveness, and turned right around and, kicked those very people in the face, for doing so. What about his lie of the small provincial deficit?

    Campbell really is a gag mechanism, we have always had to try and keep our stomachs down, every time his face was on TV. We will have to try not to gag, at the injustice of, the Odure of BC, giving someone with the evil, ill repute of Campbell, the award, that he certainly does not deserve. However, such is the corruption in BC. The Odure of BC is also corrupt, or insane.

    Oh well, BC has been a crap province, ever since Campbell got into office. I bet, Campbell’s good buddy Harper, is thrilled at the news of his partner in crime, receiving the Odure of BC.

    I wish I was close enough, to attend the welcoming committee to greet Campbell, at the awards. I bet, they will sneak him in the back door.

  16. Meant to add that all Canadians should be concerned, and embarrassed, about Campbell’s new job as Canadian High Commissioner.

    Also there were so many bending of rules not just in the Basi-Virk case but in the BC Rail bidding process itself, and in so many other aspects of governance and justice since Campbell took power, and since he left it, that the jerry-rigging of this appointment (maybe “jury-rigging” is a better term huh?0 is not all that surprsing. Just more of the same. But THAT is exactly the problem…..

    If he doesn’t turn it down, I hope other nominees and maybe some of those holding the Order resign from it out of protest…..

  17. Found this the other day?
    The BC Constitution

    (situation in December 2001)

    1 The Premier of BC (Gordon Campbell) admits that BC has no constitution.

    2 The Attorney General of BC admits that BC has no constitution.

    3 Gordon Gibson (former Party Leader in the BC Legislature, and knowledgeable on constitutional matters) says “BC has no unique constitution.”

    All of the above gentlemen admit that BC governments have always passed laws authorising themselves to make laws in BC.

    4 Professor of Political Science Norman Ruff (University of Victoria) has to agree: “…Much of BC’s provincial constitutional framework continues to rest on that statute…” (referring to a law passed by a BC Legislature in 1871).

    All this convenient confusing of a law with a constitution needs to be cleared up. BC’s voters must create a written document, defining the powers they are willing to grant to a BC government. Armed with that authority from the governed, a BC government will be legitimate – not until.

There have been a few thousand visitors here today, the petition and the facebook site and the media attention are getting people googling at their computers… word gets around, its up to us to present the hard case. On CBC tonight, although Stephen Smart talked about the Act, he failed to mention to viewers that the council can take the honour back and how, but luckily this post was up at noon, Cheryl and Ingrid both posted it on FB and the link has been shared all over with the contact addresses for the council.

    1. Cheryl, this is a complete wash and the press needs to be asking what the hell that rule about nominations is for on the public website then.

      Yes, as I stated, they will give it to him on a loophole, because despite the ORDER OF BC Website stating the nominees cant be elected officials, the legislation doesnt say that.

      This government is a joke, and this is not over. I will post the print screen of the nomination information page, which still ,to this moment, states:

      ” There are a couple of exceptions.
      Your nominee must not currently be an elected person with federal, provincial or municipal governments. “

      It does not state appointee, it very very clearly and publically states nominee must not be an elected official.

      They were caught out shamelessly flaunting the ruling of their own site, and now go back to the legislation will conveniantly does not state this rule on nominees. But again, it does state this order can be terminated by the advice and approval of this council.

      This is in the hands of this council, pure and simple, and the honourable Steven L. Point.

      And,in the hands of the press who need to ask why the nomination rule exists and is a clearly pointed out exceptions for nominations… if they have no intention of honouring that.

      Deception of the worst kind, reminds me of how the ministry of transportation responded to the shadow toll revelation and proof. More semantics.

  21. Isn’t this an interesting and unsurprising turn of events in BC Liberal la-la land?

    For over 30 years people have been nominating other people for the Order of BC based on a well-publicized set of nomination criteria. Turns out this week (luckily for Gordon Campbell) that the commonly known criteria, in fact, isn’t the criteria; rather, it’s something else entirely. How fortuitious……

    It would be extremely interesting to know who nominated Mr. Campbell for this award, and how they knew he did, in fact, qualify, when anyone else would have read on the Order of BC website that he was ineligible.

    You might also wonder why the Order of BC people would go out of their way to say that nominees must not be currently elected people when that is apparently not true. According to today’s spin, nominees are allowed to be “currently” elected people at the close of nomination; just as long as they are not elected when the award is actually given to them.

  25. After reading through all these comments about a “loophole” in the Act and an apparent contradiction, I do not see any at all. The Act speaks only to appointees not holding elected office, and says nothing–either way–about the position of nominees. The enabling rules, clearly and unequivocally spelled out on the OBC website, add a further condition, that nominees must also not be office holders. There is no contradiction here. The Act is silent on the issue, but enabling rules approved and communicated for some many years by an appropriate authority, also have the force of law. While the OBC Board may not amend the Act, it may have the authority to amend its rules. However it must have done so BEFORE Campbell’s nomination could be accepted, according to the legal doctrine of legitimate expectations.
    There are no loopholes and no contradictions. We have witnessed another illegal act under BC law. It must be rescinded.

  29. O0ps…

    reReading the Act shows that s.20 has nothing to do with the “Order of British Columbia”, but is rather specifically referring to the “British Columbia Medal of Good Citizenship”.

    However, s.15 states: Recommendation and rules
    15 (1) The advisory council must recommend each year to the Lieutenant Governor in Council persons who, in the opinion of the advisory council, deserve to be appointed members of the Order.
    (2) The advisory council may make rules governing the conduct of its business.

    It looks like the “Advisory council” (defined in s.14) would get to make things up as it goes along.

    Still, there should be a record of who made what up and when a.k.a. meeting minutes. Minutes are usually kept a secretary. The Act establishes the definition of the secretary in s.12, as well as the appointment and role of the secretary in s.14.1.

    Definitions
    12 In this Part:
    “secretary” means the secretary appointed under section 14.1.

    Secretary of the advisory council
    14.1 (1) The Lieutenant Governor in Council may appoint an employee of the government to be the secretary of the advisory council.
    (2) The secretary’s function is to maintain the records of the advisory council and Order and perform other duties that the advisory council may require.

    All of which means that if anybody really cares about what the nomination rules are, and how they may have ‘evolved’ over the years – it’s FOI time!
