Is the Premiers Office a non-partisan part of the government of BC --- or is
it an extension of the BC Liberal Party? I ask this question because it
is becoming increasing unclear what it’s exact 'political' purpose is.

| Ken Boessenkool -- Christy Clark's new Chief of Staff |
A story
in the Globe and Mail on Friday, stated that:
…. Ms. Clark has announced that, effective Feb. 15, Ken Boessenkool will take over the job … As chief of staff, Mr. Boessenkool will lead day-to-day operations at the Premier’s Office. Mr. McDonald will become principal secretary. “Ken brings a ton of skills as a manager, and he brings a lot of skills in terms of the relationships he has right across the country, so I think his addition could make a real difference for us,” Ms. Clark said in an interview.
There is no denying that Christy Clark needs and should have someone at the top, in her
office, directing operations. But, what exactly are the operations of the
office to be? It is very vague and hard
to find out, but here is a bit of insight from an official BC Government
document.
