New Chief of Staff Announced
VANCOUVER – Premier Christy Clark issued the following statement today:
“Effective immediately, Dan Doyle will serve as Chief of Staff in the Premier’s
Office.
“A career public servant who helped build British Columbia’s infrastructure, Dan
also played a key role in making the 2010 Olympic Winter Games a success and has
served as the chair of BC Hydro.
“Earlier this month, the Premier’s office was made aware of an incident of
concern. Since that time, a review has been undertaken that adhered to the
processes set down by the B.C. Public Service Agency. Having considered this
review, I accepted the resignation of the Chief of Staff. That letter of
resignation is attached.
“As per British Columbia’s privacy laws, no more details can be provided.”

Premier:
Earlier this month I was involved in an incident where I acted inappropriately.
I was wrong, regretted my behaviour very much and immediately and
unconditionally apologized.
Notwithstanding my genuine apology and sense of regret, and following my meeting
with you earlier today I tender my letter of resignation as your Chief of Staff
effective immediately.
This will give me a chance to return to Calgary to be with my family – who I
have also let down – and from whom I have been separated on a weekly basis for
most of the last eight months.
I have been very proud to be at your side and proud of what I helped the team
accomplish. Nothing should stand in the way of your successful leadership and
the accomplishments of your government in creating jobs and making family life
affordable.
I wish you the very best.
Sincerely,
Ken Boessenkool
