Pourquoi c’est l’endroit idéal pour vous
Au FMV, nous donnons à nos employés les moyens de créer des changements là où ils ont le plus d'impact : les municipalités. Le FMV est une dotation permanente de 1,6 milliard de dollars du gouvernement du Canada, gérée de façon indépendante, ce qui le rend souple et disponible pour des initiatives à plus haut risque et à plus fort impact. Un investissement supplémentaire de 530 millions de dollars dans le FMV pour soutenir la Stratégie nationale d'adaptation a été annoncé en novembre 2022. Notre équipe s'est engagée à aider les collectivités locales à adopter plus rapidement des pratiques durables. Le FMV est la pierre angulaire du programme de la Fédération canadienne des municipalités (FCM).
Notre combinaison unique de financement, de ressources et de formation donne aux municipalités les outils dont elles ont besoin pour renforcer leur résilience et améliorer la qualité de vie des Canadiens. Grâce au FMV, les municipalités ont réduit leurs émissions de carbone, construit de meilleurs moyens de transport, des bâtiments efficaces et résilients, détourné des déchets des sites d'enfouissement, rendus disponibles pour le développement des terrains auparavant inutilisables et amélioré la qualité des sols et de l'eau.
Un rôle pour vous
Relevant du gestionnaire ou de la gestionnaire principal(e) de l'unité des Prêts, le conseiller ou la conseillère juridique de l'unité des Prêts apporte son expertise juridique au fonctionnement établi du FMV et contribue ainsi à la réussite globale du processus de financement. L'objectif de ce poste est d'assurer la conformité juridique et réglementaire et d'atténuer les risques associés aux activités de prêt et de financement de la FCM auprès des municipalités et des autres entités. En outre, le mandat de la conseillère ou du conseiller juridique de l'unité des Prêts consiste à veiller à ce que les transactions soient conformes à la législation et à la réglementation, à atténuer les risques juridiques et à renforcer la réputation de la FCM en matière de fiabilité et de respect des normes juridiques.
L’avenir du travail à la FCM comprend le fait que la FCM devienne une organisation encore plus axée sur les membres qui équilibre la réalisation de ses objectifs avec une approche centrée sur les personnes. Le titulaire incarne l’engagement de la FCM à être une organisation saine, diversifiée, inclusive et qui lutte contre le racisme. En tant que membre de l’équipe, conseiller(e) travaille d’une manière qui adhère à ces valeurs, à la culture d’entreprise et à la passion pour le mandat de la FCM.
Ce que vous aurez à faire
Gérer les aspects transactionnels des contrats du FMV, y compris la négociation, la structuration, la rédaction et les modifications des contrats, en faisant appel à un(e) avocat(e) externe au besoin.
Établir et surveiller toutes les politiques et procédures de nature juridique s’adressant aux employé(e)s du FMV, dont les modèles d’ententes, les directives et les outils d’interprétations, en veillant à leur amélioration continue et en assurant leur conformité à l’entente de financement du FMV et aux lois applicables
Déterminer quand faire appel à un(e) conseiller(e) juridique externe spécialisé(e) pour les dossiers complexes et pour compléter les capacités internes lorsque le volume est élevé.
Renforcer les connaissances et les capacités internes en matière de politiques et de pratiques juridiques en organisant régulièrement des sessions de formation avec le personnel de l'unité Services à la clientèle, financement et investissement (CSFI), afin de faire connaître les exigences juridiques et les stratégies d'atténuation des risques.

The Office of the Legislative Counsel is part of the Legal Services Branch of the Ministry of Attorney General. The task of the Office is to assist government in meeting its legislative objectives and, since most major policy goals require legislation, the task can be a daunting one. Lawyers with the Office draft both government Bills and executive legislation and advise government on the legislative process and the interpretation of legislation.
As a Legislative Counsel, you deal with legal and legislative matters of significant financial, social and political importance to the Province of British Columbia.
The successful applicant will assist Cabinet and the Minister of Finance with the tasks of transforming policy objectives into clearly expressed statements of law, specifically in the area of regulating the financial markets. In doing so, you assist in refining those policy objectives by providing advice that is both creative and practical, conceptually coherent and legally sound. You understand the principles underlying the rule of law, democracy and the Canadian Constitution. You nurture effective working relationships with government officials, with the BC Securities Commission and other Canadian Securities Regulators, knowing that teamwork and a collegial environment help produce results. While your practice is highly specialized and demanding, your adaptability, your integrity and high professional standards and your excellent, careful communication skills, both written and verbal, allow you to manage challenging files and competing priorities with tact and discretion.
Job Requirements:
Must be a member of the Law Society of British Columbia in good standing OR immediately eligible for call to the Bar.
A minimum of 4 years of call.
A minimum of 2 years drafting legal instruments.
Preferences
Experience drafting legislation or advising on legislative projects.
