More questions than answers when it comes to Pinehouse Business North.

“After delving into the 100 per cent village-owned corporation’s financial status through several Freedom of Information (FOI) requests, Briarpatch magazine has come to only a partial understanding of how dire PBN’s business had at times become. But we do have a sufficient grasp of the situation to know that serious questions still need to be asked: questions about business practices, about leadership, about ethics. Why are they all so hard to answer? . . .

“Pinehouse Business North, a publicly owned corporation, has evaded minimum legal standards of accountability, and this ought to worry the local electors, provincial overseers of municipal affairs, and all those who believe that democracy cannot function without transparency from elected leaders and public organizations. The inconsistencies and incongruities that Pinehouse officials have been permitted to trade in lieu of basic legal requirements for recordkeeping and public disclosure undermine the free exercise of democratic governance in Pinehouse and, by example, in all other local authorities in the province.”
