Dear Committee Member;

We are writing to offer our thanks for your Special Committee’s Recommendation that resulted from your recently completed review of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.

Since the BC SPCA is a public body as well as a non-profit society, we feel that it should be available for public scrutiny and subject to more stringent government regulation. We applaud your recognition of the contradictions inherent in its present status.

Your recommendation urging the government to look into the special status of the SPCA and to ascertain whether there should perhaps be a change in its status provides us with the opportunity to ask our government officials for action.

We feel that this could be the beginning of increased accountability and transparency for the BC SPCA and that will result in better care for the animals of our province and more effective use of donations in support of that effort.

Again, we thank you on behalf of the animals and all that care for them.

Yours truly,

Name and address
