BCSC Commissioner Appointments are Illegal Suzanne Wiltshire's appointment started in July 2006 as per BCSC website bio and OIC # 498-2006. Don Rowlatt’s appointment started in April 2008 as per BCSC website and OIC #228-2008. Brenda Leong’s appointment started in October 2009 as per the BCSC website.

Suzanne Wiltshire, Don Rowlatt and Brenda Leong’s appointments are in contradiction of Sec 4.1 of the Securities Act which states that the Administrative Tribunals Act applies to the BCSC. Part 2, Sec 3 of the Administrative Tribunals Act states that: Member's initial term and reappointment 3 (1) A member, other than the chair, may be appointed by the appointing authority, after a merit-based process and consultation with the chair, to hold office for an initial term of 2 to 4 years. (2) A member may be reappointed by the appointing authority, after a merit-based process, as a member of the tribunal for additional terms of up to 5 years.

The initial term for Wiltshire, Rowlatt and Leong was 3 years and an additional 5 years for a maximum of 8 years. Therefore Wiltshire’s appointment is illegal as of July 2014, Rowlatt’s appointment is illegal as of April 2016 and Leong’s appointment is illegal as of November 2017.

How are Commissioners Wiltshire, Rowlatt and Leong supposed to remain independent, unbiased, and transparent when they are clearly obtaining funds based on an illegal appointment therefore every decision will be self serving.
