A former B.C. bureaucrat who faced a number of criminal charges in connection to the awarding of health technology contracts has pleaded guilty to breach trust. Ron Danderfer had been facing four criminal charges, but following lengthy deliberations, the Crown agreed to stay all other charges with his guilty plea to the one offence. Until 2007, Danderfer had been assistant deputy minister of health responsible for technology. He admitted accepting benefits, including a vacation at a Kelowna condominium owned by a heath technology contractor who had been bidding for work. Danderfer will be sentenced July 14. Two other men also were charged in March 2010 following an RCMP investigation and a review by special prosecutor John Waddell.
