*VICTORIA* — The minister in charge of B.C.’s records management apologized Thursday for using her personal email while on the job. Citizens’ Services Minister Jinny Sims told reporters she should never have used a personal email account to contact her staff, deputy minister and chief of staff to the Premier’s Office. The practice is generally not allowed under B.C.’s Freedom of Information rules because personal emails have in the past been used by some to circumvent the FOI process and communicate government business without leaving an official record. https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__bit.ly_2wwnhDb&d=DwIFaQ&c=pZJPUDQ3SB9JplYbifm4nt2lEVG5pWx2KikqINpWlZM&r=b5NZPQUb9_r2rQ3Zd74ATT3aSs9yKyRnJLOhqJvd7fE&m=LSm_MQ9J2XxF0WvN8_h9x-XZGXe2XOWLTd_yTl8Zvmo&s=GYzUuV0owt3FfX6jYYRueAQ43TGKm0HxiBSg4R1yH_g&e= https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__bit.ly_2wwnhDb-2B&d=DwIFaQ&c=pZJPUDQ3SB9JplYbifm4nt2lEVG5pWx2KikqINpWlZM&r=b5NZPQUb9_r2rQ3Zd74ATT3aSs9yKyRnJLOhqJvd7fE&m=LSm_MQ9J2XxF0WvN8_h9x-XZGXe2XOWLTd_yTl8Zvmo&s=IL2pfqJpbB5tRWoEeWkPUUq9X0zWaMBbjvEs4UL0Btk&e= -- Peterk Dallas, Tx [log in to unmask] Save our in-boxes! https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__emailcharter.org&d=DwIFaQ&c=pZJPUDQ3SB9JplYbifm4nt2lEVG5pWx2KikqINpWlZM&r=b5NZPQUb9_r2rQ3Zd74ATT3aSs9yKyRnJLOhqJvd7fE&m=LSm_MQ9J2XxF0WvN8_h9x-XZGXe2XOWLTd_yTl8Zvmo&s=bMPidfrmv6prlVk4-atigal9yM9hZJ9Cfle1irJNVFw&e= “If only there were a massive entity that I were forced to fund to tell me how I should live my life, since I’m so obviously incapable of deciding for myself.” M.
