How many British Columbians are denied access to their elected officials simply because they have retained a lawyer to represent their interest pertaining to their 'case', 'issue'?
Fired BC Health Researchers? Denied access to their MLA for assistance?
Question Period:
Opposition MLAs may ask question on the Fired Health researchers because they don't represent them?
Government MLAs can't query the status of the Fired Health Researchers because they DO represent them.
Lobbyists' Lawyers' and their Clients who are, or not, Constituents, may negotiate with Fassbender and other Government Ministers behind the closed doors of secrecy, without revealing their relationship (Denied: FOI - Sec 22)?

Health Researchers; find housing (Rich Coleman); find employment (Canada Starts Here)
