Vaughn Palmer: Atira\u0027s response to audit seems to suggest it considers itself indispensable to government
“What I would say about that is, ‘we’ll see,’” responded Eby during an interview with Stephen Quinn on the CBC’s Early Edition. “The forensic investigation was frustrated by an inability to access key financial documents from Atira.”
Eby’s disappointment was compounded by Atira’s response to a direct letter from B.C. Housing board chair Allan Seckel, sent out a few days before the Ernst & Young report was released to the public. “Once we receive that documentation and complete a reconciliation, we will release any surplus to B.C. Housing.”“We understand to be a euphemism for terminating one or more senior executives. … In light of there being no findings of wrongdoing by anyone on its executive, Atira’s board will not terminate its senior executive team or any of its members on request from B.C. Housing with one day’s notice.
I can’t recall such a brazen response from a funding recipient to the government that provides 84 per cent of its budget.B.C. Housing provides Atira with virtually all of its capital funding and operating subsidies. Yet under the NDP government, Atira has also become B.C. Housing’s No. 1 provider of housing.Article content
One ousted board member has described the scramble to find enough space, no questions asked, on “very strict marching orders” from the NDP cabinet.
