If the said Wild EO is said to pass and be approved by the PM himself, do you have any other issues/concerns you would like to fight or address in your campaign post?
Yes. Thank you for allowing me to introduce a more BC politics post rather than drama.
I would like to see stronger enforcement of the rule where Ministers need to make a decision on gov job applications. I do understand that some Ministers are VERY busy so my idea is a new set up to the gov job application set up. As it currently stands, there are 3 tags on applications. These include "pending" "approved" and "declined." A lot of applications sit at pending for far too long. I would like to implement a new tag called "reviewing." What this would is make it know to the applicant that a Minister has seen their application and is looking into where and how you would fit into the position or is very busy and will get back to them.
The way I would set it up to a legal standpoint is enforce Ministers to put an application in the "reviewing" process within 3 weeks of the applicants post. While it is in the "reviewing" process Ministers will have an additional 2 weeks to "decline" or "accept" the application. During the review process the Minister can also ask additional questions to the applicant if they are on the fence. In addition, Ministers cannot speak to an applicant about the job until it is in the "reviewing" stage, unless the applicant has a question for the Minister.
Now some may wonder why not make it 5 weeks for the entire process and why the extra tag? This system would let applicants know that they are being looked at instead of having a month of suspense and worry. The farther organization of this process would actually help Ministers by automatically monitoring shorter timelines so Ministers aren't panicking when 5 applications have been sitting for 4 weeks. Ministers are so busy sometimes an application from 3 weeks ago can slip their mind. Adding a middle stage and shortening response times will help Ministers better organize their application process. This will also better the communication between government and the public by creating more dialog. This will also force non active Ministers to be online and looking at forums more often like they should.
I am in no way calling out any specific Ministers or implying that some are inactive, it is simply an idea to help Minister while also giving comfort to those who do apply.
I will add that a 3 strike system on this would be applied. If a Minister fails to meet the timeline standards 3 times they should be subject to a VoNC or some form of punishment by way of the government.
I look forward to hearing more questions about other policies and if I would support them or not. Thank you!
