Charter — VI. THE EXECUTIVE Wrote:(15) The Prime Minister and Cabinet Ministers may elect to appoint deputies and advisors, who will be considered junior members of the Cabinet, but will not have voting rights in any executive decision.
Elections Act — 7. Separation of Powers Wrote:(1) Offices of the Coalition are the Delegate, the Prime Minister and Cabinet Ministers, the Chair of the Assembly, Local Councillors, the Chief Justice, and any of their appointed deputies.
Emphasis mine.
Given that the Advisory Councils replaced the positions of deputies, advisors and interns have become prominent 'deputy' roles. Should they not similarly be firewalled?
Just bumping this ...
I think it is important to understand who are government officials ...
