Christy Clark and “Breach
of Trust by a Public Officer”
I think there is a
slight softening of Christy Clark’s push to break the school teacher’s union
because she realizes she may be skating on some thin ice patches. Legal ones.
In R. v. Boulanger, the Supreme Court of Canada gave a definition of “Breach
of trust by a public officer” (Code, R.S.C. 1985, c. C-46, s.122) as follows:
“The offence of breach of trust by a public officer is established
where the Crown proves eyoung a reasonable doubt that: (1) the accused is an
official; (2) the accused was acting in connection with the duties of his or
her office; (3) the accused acted with the intention to use his or her public office
for a purpose other than the public good, for example, a dishonest, partial,
corrupt, or oppressive purpose (58)
I do believe that
parents of children in the public school system might have a case in bringing a
case of acting dishonestly and oppressively in refusing to accept the teacher’s
union offer of binding arbitration.
Binding arbitration is fair and just and to refuse this offer is a
corrupt attempt to break the teacher’s union.
Christy Clark is allowing her hatred of the teacher’s union to cause
undue suffering to the children and parents of this province. Legal minds, where are you on this?
