EbyOut.com focuses the conversation on key accountability questions: whether government is being held accountable, whether priorities are being delivered, and whether public institutions are operating within the law.
David Eby has failed to represent his Point Grey constituents - Instead hiding behind his gatekeepers when asked to address the key issues of his government.
A reported increase in investigation times at the OPIC for known key issues has raised questions about whether oversight systems have failed. Eby refuses to respond.
At a time the BC Government has fast tracked the key mining sector, The Vancouver Mineral Titles Office has been closed - raising a basic question about service delivery and government priorities.
Questions have been raised about whether Service BC leaders and public institutions are following legislation, or creating their own mandates without legal authority.
Each accountability question should be traceable to a government document, legislative record, service standard, investigation report or other primary source.
When asked about these, and other issues important to Point Grey residents - Eby is nowhere to be found. E-mails get boilerplate responses from his gatekeepers, e-mails go unanswered, his office refuses to meet with the very people who voted him in.
Examine annual reports, investigation reports, case statistics and service information from the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner for British Columbia.

When the question is whether an institution has legal authority, start with the statute, regulation, ministerial order or other instrument that supposedly provides that authority.
Where is David Eby - and why has he refused to represent his constituents?
Accountability is stronger when residents ask specific, documentable questions rather than relying on slogans from any side.
Who owns the problem, what performance target applies, and what happens when the target is missed?
Which services are receiving resources, which are being restricted, and what evidence supports those choices?
Where can residents find the law, regulation, order or delegation that authorizes a disputed decision?
Residents can raise questions with their elected representative and the relevant public body, while keeping a copy of the response.
