E-Comm commits to act on recommendations of Province’s independent review

E-Comm accepts the findings and recommendations of the EY review released today by Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General Nina Krieger, and is committed to work with its provincial, local government and agency partners to act on the recommendations as quickly as possible, said Nancy Kotani, Chair of the Board of Directors.

“We accept the findings of the review, and welcome the recommendations provided,” said Kotani. “We are also heartened by the report’s acknowledgement of the operational and service improvements achieved to date. The Board of Directors and executive team recognize the urgency of the improvements required, particularly in our governance and financial management, and the need to rebuild the trust of our local government and agency partners. Our board will be actively involved in setting the direction for E-Comm’s strategy and holding management accountable for progress and results.”

“We will work with the Province and our partners to develop an action plan to prioritize and implement the recommendations,” said Nancy Blair, interim president and CEO.

“Our staff do extraordinary work partnering with first responder agencies and protecting the public safety of British Columbians. The progress on operational and service level improvements identified in the report is a direct result of their outstanding commitment and contributions. We are committed to protect and build on these service improvements, and to earn back the trust of our partners by implementing the governance and financial management recommendations in the report.”
