I am glad he is speaking out. Clark has made a farce out of this whole procedure.

Typical stunt on the part of the Liberals – acting out and then going into damage control.

What an inane “Leader”. This is not about left or right, it should be about taxpayers being outraged by such stupidity again! He should have been reappointed at the end of his term in the fall for 6 years, and should not have been subjected to this mindless treatment on account of Clark’s games, or anyone else for that matter!

Doyle for premier.

The auditor general should be a one term appointment period. Otherwise, there is no way the elected people can change the A/G without the perception that the change is politically motivated.

The hero worship around the A/G is a little sickening. After all, Doyle will never have to increase taxes, cut spending, etc. So, to the feeble minded, he sounds better than someone who has to make tough decisions. He is evaluating the work of other people. All A/G's find lots of problems, which argues for less government not more auditors. Government is the problem.

In my opinion, the proper thing for him to do is to just keep his mouth shut about his dealings with the committee. It would be sufficient to say that his proposed reappointment is a work in progress. Believe it or not, he does work for the people of BC and is not some all wise, all knowing genius.

In my opinion, Doyle is an empire builder who wants to keep expanding the size of his office. And, as the A/G,HIS spending is beyond question. He continues to expand the scope of his work into non financial areas, and his work is evidently beyond criticism. There are other qualified people who could be the A/G,so I hope they extend his term for 2 years and have it limited to that.

It's fair to say that this situation should never have been allowed to develope.But I blame the legislation a lot more than I blame any one party or MLA.The problem I see,is that both parties and the legislation fail to recognize the value of having the auditor general limited to one term,and one term only.By doing that,it completely eliminates the possibility of the person doing this job of currying favour with the government in order to secure a second term.
Sheila Frasser did a great job for the feds.But when her time was up,her time was up.That's exactly what should happen in BC.That way,no party in office can buy of the auditor.As much as I hate to say it,Christy Clark has made the right suggestion.Clean up the legislation,and offer this man an extra two years as a compromise.
This MUST be a one term job.It;s the only way to keep it put of the meddling hands of politicians.
