British Columbia's Public Service Agency breached its own hiring policy, allowing government appointees to take 64 jobs meant for public servants' career development over a 10-year period, according to a report by the provincial Ombudsperson. The report found "systemic mismanagement" at the agency, which allowed existing government appointees to apply for temporary positions that should have been reserved for regular public servants.
