Legislative History
In 2008, the BC Liberal government led by Gordon Campbell introduced Bill 33 – Miscellaneous Statutes Amendment Act, 2008, which amended the Public Sector Employers Act to establish a new framework for executive compensation disclosure. Those amendments form part of the reporting and disclosure provisions of the Public Sector Employers Act that the Public Sector Employers' Council (PSEC) Secretariat administers today.
The first executive compensation disclosures under this framework were released in 2008, and the requirement remains in place today.
