The leaked report recommended that Metro Vancouver fire Acciona Wastewater Solutions, which was building a North Vancouver plant
The B.C. Supreme Court has ruled that Metro Vancouver’s top bureaucrat must be cross-examined over statements he swore about the leaked report that recommended firing the builder of a North Vancouver sewage plant.
In his May 9 decision, published June 5, Master Terry Vos granted Acciona’s application to question Metro Vancouver chief administrative officer Jerry Dobrovolny under oath about his December 2022 and March 2023 affidavits. On Jan. 21, 2022, when GVSDD issued the termination notice, Acciona became aware that an employee had received a forwarded email with photographs of the document attached.
Last December, GVSDD applied for an injunction to ban Acciona from copying or sharing the confidential information, and included the first affidavit by Dobrovolny. The appendix also said that Dobrovolny was aware it was common practice for directors to share log-in credentials with senior staff at their municipal halls. Stewart confirmed he followed this practice and shared credentials with Steblin. He also mentioned an occasion in 2018 when GVSDD assisted Coquitlam administrative staff having difficulty accessing the web portal using Stewart’s log-in credentials.
Acciona’s March application said it wants to ask Dobrovolny about the breadth of circulation of the confidential report, the ease with which individuals other than board members could access the report and the extent that GVSDD “may have placed misleading affidavit evidence before the court when it initially relied on Mr. Dobrovolny’s Dec. 15, 2022 affidavit.”
