WHO ARE DAVID FLAHERTY, LEAH HOLLINS, AND BRIAN POLLICK?

David Flaherty 

David Flaherty was, at one time, the Information and Privacy Commissioner for the Government of British Columbia where he was a major player in the cover up of illegal activity by insiders with the British Columbia Government in relation to bulk water exports.  See the Water War Crimes web site for background at http://www.waterwarcrimes.com/.

David Flaherty is the brother of Canada's Finance Minister, Jim Flaherty, who is a member of Canadian Prime Minister, Stephen Harper's cabinet.

Leah Hollins 

Leah Hollins is a former Deputy Minister of Health for British Columbia.  According to her online biography, Leah Hollins was a government insider for a long time with experience on a number of national, provincial, and private sector boards.

At the present time, Leah Hollins is said to "enjoy a reputation of openness, integrity, high ethical standards, and a passion for the value of the public service enabling support and confidence of politicians, employees and stakeholders to be gained".

Ms. Hollins is a Director of Maximus BC Health Benefit Operation, Inc.

Leah Hollins was appointed by Prime Minister Harper to the Veterans Affairs Departmental Audit Committee, in April 2008.  The Veterans had better be careful because if Leah Hollins imports her tactics from Maximus to Veteans Affairs, a lot of lives will be destroyed.

Brian Pollick

As described in a previous post, Brian Pollick was one of the insiders with the British Columbia Ministry of the Attorney General who, along with Leah Hollins, and with the assistance of British Columbia Attorney General, Brian Smith, managed to acquire a lucrative asset from the British Columbia Government.  Pollick and Hollins subseqently sold that asset for an undisclosed sum to Maximus Canada Inc.

Hollins and Pollick have hired Brian Smith's son, Christopher Smith, of Victoria, BC, to lobby the British Columbia government to insure their company remains profitable.
