Hi I stumbled upon your article while researching the chronology to FRPA and how this married up to the Professional Reliance Model, and the dropping by a District Manager of his Professional membership in the Association. It is perplexing to me that a man can function as a District Manager for 15 years, without being considered to be “practicing prescribed activities” under the Professional Code and Governance legislation. And, when the man actually presents falsehoods to the community to cover past misconduct and errors made, you really have to wonder if his membership was dropped to avoid professional accountability. As a retired lawyer, I have now spent two years tracking through what has occurred at BC’s First Sensitive Area ( 1997 ) which was placed overtop of a UREP ( Map Reserve, 1984 ). With the SA designation, it also received Higher Level Plan designation, further explicitly bringing Non Timber Values to the top of the priority list. I have obtained all the FOI. Sadly, I have discovered what you already know — the Professional Reliance Model is a classic veil, hiding conduct that is improper, unprofessional and at times unlawful. It does the trick — assuages the public that the Ministry of Forests has the public’s interest top of mind. Anyhow, bit by bit, via complaint after complaint to every legal venue that is supposed to be a watchdog of the public interest, I will persevere in seeking justice for my local patch of Nature ( Rose Swanson in the North Okanagan ). Not only do I have to deal with a corrupted Professional Reliance model, but I have to deal with the structural failings that confine all the watchdog agencies ( including the Forest Practices Board) from doing the job, that superficially, they are supposed to do. If you want to see a Case Study, proving beyond doubt that the Professional Reliance Model has been intentionally corrupted ( and gamed ), Rose Swanson is that Case Study. It is all proven on the Ministry’s own documentation. I hope you keep up your good work D.
