Gordon Campbell is ineligible to Receive the 2011 Order of BC

How is it possible that Gordon Campbell, ex-Premier of BC, even be nominated to receive the 2011 Order of BC, never mind be chosen as a recipient?
According to the Government of BC's own Order of BC website, nominations for the 2011 awards closed March 10, 2011, and "your nominee must not currently be an elected person with federal, provincial or municipal governments".
Gordon Campbell did not step down as MLA, clearing the way for Christy Clark to run in his riding of Vancouver-Point Gray, until March 14th. Thus, at the close of nominations he was "currently an elected person".

Your response should have been to send a letter to the nominator, thanking them for the submission and pointing out that Mr. Campbell was ineligible for 2011 and inviting them to resubmit for 2012. Breaking your own nomination rules is simply another example of how there is one set of rules for the Liberals and their buddies, and another for the rest of us.
Please rescind this year's nomination. He can be nominated again next year, if necessary.
