Annamie Paul hands in resignation as Green leader, and quits the party

MR
By Marie Woolf and Christopher ReynoldsThe Canadian Press
Wed., Nov. 10, 2021
 
 Annamie Paul speaks to the media during a press conference announcing she is officially stepping down as Green Party leader, at Suydam Park in Toronto on September 27, 2021.
Annamie Paul has formally resigned as leader of the Greens and also handed in her membership card, leaving the future of the party up in the air as it attempts to recover from internal strife and repudiation at the polls.

Paul sent in a resignation letter to the Green Party on Wednesday, which follows her announcement in September of her plans to step down.

The Green leader, the first Black and Jewish woman to lead a major political party in Canada, said a week after the election that leading the Greens had been the worst period of her life — due in part to the shattered glass ceiling.

“I had crawled over that glass, I was spitting up blood but I was determined to be there,” she told reporters on Sept. 27.

The Greens returned only two MPs in the Sept. 20 election and Paul failed to win her Toronto Centre riding, placing fourth in her third run at the Liberal stronghold.

The party’s puny showing at the polls — it won 2.3 per cent of the popular vote versus 6.6 per cent in 2019 — followed a period of infighting and sniping at Paul. She faced slurs by Green Party members on Twitter and claimed the party executive did not do enough to protect or support her.

Earlier this year, Paul drew criticism from a number of Greens, including MPs, for not publicly condemning Israel in stronger terms following a fresh outbreak of fighting between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. At least 230 Palestinians and 12 Israelis were killed in the 11-day war.

In a May 10 tweet, Paul called “for an immediate de-escalation in the violence and a return to dialogue as a means to seeking a peaceful resolution.”

Annamie Paul formally resigns as Green leader, will end membership in party

'It was an honour to work for the people of Canada and I look forward to serving in new ways'

Annamie Paul has given formal notice of her resignation as leader of the Green Party of Canada and says she will also end her membership in the party.

"It was an honour to work for the people of Canada and I look forward to serving in new ways," she said today in a social media post.

Party sources told Radio-Canada and CBC News Paul sent a resignation letter to the Green Party Fund triggering a termination clause under her contract that will take effect in 30 days. If the fund opts to terminate Paul immediately, it will owe her salary for the 30 days, the sources say.

Paul announced on Sept. 27 that she would be stepping down as Green Party leader after a poor showing in the summer federal election.

She ran for a seat in the Liberal stronghold of Toronto Centre, where she finished a distant fourth. Her party won two seats in September.

Paul was facing a leadership review despite announcing she was stepping down as leader.

"I just asked myself whether this is something I wanted to continue, whether I was willing to put up with the attacks I knew would be coming, whether to continue to fight and struggle just to fulfil my democratically elected role as leader of this party," Paul told reporters in Toronto days after the election. "I just don't have the heart for it."

Paul's departure was delayed because her lawyer was negotiating with party lawyers to settle a legal conflict, sources told CBC News last month.

Internal conflict over Israel

Paul was chosen to lead the party last October, making history as the first Jewish woman and Black person elected to lead a major federal party.

At her post-election press conference, she described her time as leader as "the worst period in my life" in many respects.

"What people need to realize is that when I was elected and put in this role, I was breaking a glass ceiling. What I didn't realize at the time was that I was breaking a glass ceiling that was going to fall on my head and leave a lot of shards of glass that I was going to have to crawl over throughout my time as a leader," she said.

Annamie Paul has announced she is stepping down as Green leader after the party's disastrous showing in the recent federal election. 'I just don't have the heart' for a fractious leadership review, she said. 6:41

Sources told CBC News last month that Paul and the party were negotiating compensation for legal costs she incurred fighting a bid to remove her as leader last summer.

Some members of the Greens' federal council tried to trigger a leadership review in July after Fredericton MP Jenica Atwin crossed the floor to the Liberals.

Atwin joined the Liberal benches shortly after criticizing Paul's response to violence in the Middle East as "totally inadequate" and going on to accuse Israel of pursuing a policy of apartheid.

Paul had issued a statement in May calling for a de-escalation and return to dialogue.

Paul's then-political adviser, Noah Zatzman, took to Facebook to accuse politicians, including some unspecified Green MPs, of discrimination and antisemitism.

"We will work to defeat you and bring in progressive climate champions who are antifa and pro LGBT and pro indigenous sovereignty and Zionists!!!!!" he said in a May social media post.

Paul did not comply with a demand from the party's federal council that she publicly repudiate Zatzman's remarks.

Paul told reporters after the election that unnamed senior party members "took great pleasure in attacking me" and suggested that was the reason the party performed poorly. She also said the national council held back financial resources she needed.

"It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that when you head into an election without funding for your campaign; when you head into an election without the staff to staff your campaign; when you head into an election without a national campaign manager; when you head into an election being again under the threat of a court process from your party; it's going to be very hard to convince people to vote for your party," Paul said.

Her exit will clear the way for the Green Party to choose an interim leader and plan a new leadership race.

Green Party members are voting on Annamie Paul's leadership — weeks after she said she would quit

The vote is going ahead while Paul and the party negotiate the terms of her exi

Green Party of Canada members have started voting on whether to remove Annamie Paul as party leader — roughly a month after Paul herself announced her resignation.

"Yes, the leadership review is underway," Green Party communications director John Chenery said in an email to CBC.

Voting on Paul's leadership review began yesterday and will end on Nov. 25, the day before the party's next scheduled virtual general meeting. It's the second attempt to eject Paul from the leadership since the summer.

The Green Party of Canada is moving ahead with the leadership vote despite Paul announcing on Sept. 27 that she would be stepping down. The Toronto Starfirst confirmed party president Lorraine Rekmans launched the leadership review days after the federal election.

Paul personally failed to secure a seat in that election and the Green Party saw its share of the national vote diminish. Such leadership reviews are considered routine and follow an election loss, but the speed with which the party moved to launch the review reportedly caught some of Paul's supporters off-guard.

Paul's departure delayed

According to an email obtained by CBC, Paul first learned of the leadership review on Sept. 26. One day later, Paul announced her resignation — a move that should have made the leadership review moot.

But Paul's departure is moving slower than many in the party expected. She was supposed to leave earlier this month, following exit negotiations with the party.

Paul and the party are negotiating compensation for the legal fees she incurred taking the party's top brass to arbitration to block their last attempt to remove her from the leadership. In July, some on the Greens' federal council attempted to trigger an early leadership review after one of the party's MPs, Jenica Atwin, crossed the floor to the Liberals.

The arbitrator ruled in Paul's favour, telling federal party council members they could not proceed. Unsatisfied with the ruling, the party executive filed a notice of application for leave to appeal in the Ontario Superior Court that argued the arbitrator erred.

One person connected to the party, but not authorized to speak publicly, told CBC News that court application has been withdrawn. The Ontario Superior Court indicates it is still an active case.

It's not known how much compensation Paul is seeking. Green Party sources tell CBC that while the party isn't opposed to paying for Paul's legal fees, it's struggling with fundraising. Last week, the party laid off 11 staffers.

"We have been running large monthly deficits since February of this year, and our financial situation is not sustainable," says an internal party memo from the party's financial arm, the Green Fund.

"These layoffs are vitally important to avoiding insolvency and putting our party on secure financial footing heading into the next election — keeping in mind the minority nature of our current government."

Legal talks are dragging out Annamie Paul's departure from Green leadership

More than two weeks after announcing that she was stepping down, Paul is still party leader

Annamie Paul's resignation as leader of the Green Party of Canada — which was expected to take effect this week — still isn't complete because her lawyer is negotiating with party lawyers to settle a legal conflict, sources tell CBC News.

Paul told a press conference in Toronto in late September that she was calling it quits after a poor election performance and weeks of infighting within the party over her leadership.

But more than two weeks later, Paul's resignation still has not been finalized and she remains party leader, Green spokesperson John Chenery told CBC News.

Multiple sources with direct knowledge of the situation — who were not authorized to speak publicly — told CBC News that two factors are delaying Paul's departure.

First, both sides are negotiating compensation for legal costs Paul incurred fighting a bid to remove her as leader before the September general election.

The second unresolved issue has to do with a pre-election legal conflict between Paul and the party. Paul took her party to arbitration in July to challenge a bid by some within the party to remove her as leader.

The arbitrator ruled in her favour. Then the lawyers for the Greens filed notice of an application for leave to appeal in the Ontario Superior Court that argued the arbitrator erred in his judgment.

Chenery declined to comment on the negotiations and Paul has not replied to CBC's request for comment.

Green Party sources told CBC News the leave to appeal application is moot and shouldn't delay exit negotiations. The sources said that the application will be withdrawn at some point — but not immediately, because the party is wary of incurring unnecessary legal fees.

The Green Party Fund has said the party is facing dire financial issues after monthly costs outpaced gross income by $105,000 in May and $103,000 in June. The party reported it spent about $100,000 on legal fees in July alone during arbitration proceedings.

Last week, the Ontario Green Party issued a statement rebuking its federal sibling over its rocky relationship with Paul.

"We are deeply disappointed by Annamie Paul's painful experience as leader of the Green Party of Canada," says the statement from the Ontario Greens.

"Annamie's election as the first Black Jewish woman to lead a major Canadian political party was a historic milestone, with great potential to draw more under-represented Canadians into public service. Unfortunately, what happened may do the contrary."

Leadership tainted by infighting, policy disputes

Paul, a relative moderate in Green circles, came to the leadership promising aggressive action on climate change and policies to address systemic discrimination.

But Paul was hampered by party infighting and a dispute over the party's policy on Israeli and Palestinian issues.

During the last Middle East crisis in May, Paul called for de-escalation and a return to dialogue. That response was seen as insufficiently critical of Israel by some in the party — including one of its then MPs, Jenica Atwin, who later crossed the floor to join the Liberals.

Sean Yo, who ran the campaign that elected Ontario's first provincial Green MPP, Mike Schreiner, called for an end to the legal action over Paul's leadership.

"From my perspective, this is moot," said Yo, Paul's former byelection campaign director. "We'd be all really better off getting on with the really important task of coming together and deciding how we are going to move forward as a party."

Daniel Green, a former federal councillor and a vocal critic of Paul, confirms that he's heard negotiations are underway. Green said he hopes both sides come to a resolution and added he hopes Paul receives compensation for her legal fees.

"Yes, I do believe Annamie should get some compensation of her legal fees," he said. "The question is how much and how much can the party afford. I mean, you can't squeeze blood from a stone."

New Brunswick rep quits federal Green Party council over infighting

Louise Comeau was elected to the post just two months ago

New Brunswick's representative on the federal Green Party council has quit after just two months in the position, saying party infighting was too stressful and was taking away from her work on climate change.

Louise Comeau was elected to the role in August, in the midst of internal turmoil over the future of leader Annamie Paul.

She says she went in knowing the party was in a crisis but believed she could make a difference.

"I didn't anticipate the one thing that really brought this to a head for me: my inability to actually make the professional contribution that I wanted to make," she told CBC Radio's Shift New Brunswick.

Comeau said Paul had "engineered a tone and a set-up" on the federal council, the party's governing body, that made it difficult for members to perform their oversight role.

"I felt I just was unable to bring the kind of thoughtfulness I had hoped to bring to the decision-making processes of council."

That included going two months without any briefing on the party's legal and financial status, she said.

In a Twitter exchange with another Green supporter this week, Comeau wrote that she was resigning "because the stress was unbearable. I have more important work to do than waste time with this kind of baloney."

She added: "Play your games. The rest of us will try and keep the planet from burning."

Comeau is a climate change researcher at the University of New Brunswick and she says another challenge she faced was trying to speak independently about climate policy when it was at odds with the party's partisan interest.

The weekend before the federal election in September, she tweeted a link to a newspaper column that argued the federal Liberals had a better climate change plan than the Conservatives.

"I was simply commenting on the accuracy of the evaluation, which I agreed with," she said. But "I was personally attacked by many Greens for having stated my professional opinion." 

She calls that an "infringement" on her professional independence.

"I am bigger than that because I think climate change is bigger than that," she says. "If I had to make a choice, climate change absolutely comes first." 

An assistant to Annamie Paul, Victoria Galea, said Paul would not comment on Comeau's remarks and has not been doing interviews since "starting the process" of resigning as leader on Sept. 27.

The Green popular vote dropped from 6.5 per cent in the 2019 election to 2.3  per cent last month. The party lost one of its three seats in the vote, and had seen Fredericton MP Jenica Atwin defect to the Liberals in June. 

The Greens gained one Ontario seat in the election and now has two MPs.

Comeau says even Paul's departure is contentious. She referred to the Sept. 27 announcement as "what we thought was the resignation of the leader" but says it hasn't officially happened yet.

She says Paul told her during a meeting that  "until we negotiate her release, she enjoys all the rights and privileges of being a leader."

Galea said because the party council is in a legal dispute with Paul over attempts to review her leadership before the election, Paul won't formally step down without a resolution of that dispute and some financial loose ends connected to it.

"She can't resign until they drop their court case against her."  

Comeau also said council members who questioned Paul's decisions and approach were confronted by what she calls "identity politics."

Paul is the first Black woman to lead a major national political party, and Comeau says when council members like her pushed for "values like honesty, integrity, fair dealing and leadership," they faced a backlash.

Felt vulnerable

"It was almost as if they were used as weapons. If you challenged at all and said 'No, this is too much, you can't do that' or 'That is not actually accurate,' then we were into these accusations. People were feeling quite vulnerable to that," she says.

"Not everything is about identity politics. Sometimes it's just about good character." 

In June, Paul said allegations against her by the previous federal council "were so racist, so sexist, that they were immediately disavowed by both our MPs as offensive and inflammatory."

Galea says that Paul has never made similar accusations against the new council members elected in August. "She's never said that and it's never been implied."

Greens' Elizabeth May speaks out after 'terrible election result'

May says she remained silent out of respect for Leader Annamie Paul

After a "terrible election result," Green Party MP and former leader Elizabeth May says she must speak out and clear the record on her federal party's status.

"I knew I'd get more criticism by saying something about what's going on than by staying quiet," said May, who was re-elected in her riding of Saanich-Gulf Islands in the Sept. 20 federal election.

"I feel awful about it. I know this puts me in a bad situation but it's important for Canadians to know that there is a Green Party. It's important for people to know the Green Party exists. We're not going away. We will rebuild."

The Greens, which ran just 252 candidates across Canada's 338 ridings, dropped from 6.5 per cent of the national vote in 2019 to 2.3 per cent of the national vote in the 2021 election. May and one other MP — Mike Morrice from Kitchener Centre — are the only two representatives of the party in Parliament, compared to the three seats it had prior to the election.

May says Green Party Leader Annamie Paul, who announced on Sept. 27 she was stepping down as the leader, hasn't actually officially resigned and still controls party communications.

"Someone needed to explain that the reason they weren't hearing from the Green Party is that the communications are controlled by Annamie Paul," May told CBC News.

May says she had been asked to refrain from speaking about internal party politics, but decided she had to speak out after Lorraine Rekmans, the president of the party's federal council and a member of the Serpent River First Nation, was unable to send out a statement through the party for the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation last Thursday.

"She wanted to make a statement on the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation and the communications staff informed her, 'We only take instruction from Annamie Paul and you will not be making a statement,'" said May.

However, Victoria Galea, Paul's executive assistant, told CBC News that Rekmans was able to send a letter directed to Green Party members on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

Galea said a separate statement from the party on the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation was also posted on the Green Party website last Thursday.

CBC reached out to Rekmans for further clarification. Rekmans said she was unable to respond at this time.

Disappointing election result

On Sept. 20, Paul came in fourth place, her third defeat, in the riding of Toronto Centre. Galea said the Green Party leader had been set up to fail and placed a lot of the blame on May's lack of support.

"Every single day, the party has set her up for failure, and that includes the former leader of the party,"Galea told CBC News. 

May denied that she hadn't supported Paul. She said that she had even offered Paul her seat in Saanich-Gulf Islands. 

"I was heavily criticized for not offering it, but I had, in fact, offered it to Annamie. At the time, she said she was not interested in trading seats," May said. 

She said she fundraised for Paul, and the party had more than adequate resources for a national tour. 

"The fact [is] that Annamie Paul as new leader was granted far more resources, far more authority than I ever had," May said.

Galea disputes May's account, including the offer of a seat. 

"The party ultimately provided Mme. Paul with no support, with zero staff, no budget, no National Campaign Manager, and zero dollars sent to Toronto Centre to help with her campaign," she said in an email to CBC News.

May says her focus now is on supporting whoever ends up becoming the next leader of the party and she will not be considering a return to the position. 

"We have a lot of very talented people in the Green Party," she said. "If people turn to me, it'll look like, 'Oh, they had nobody but that poor old lady. And there she goes again.' So I think I want to focus where my energies feel most beneficial."

Incoming Green MP Mike Morrice respects Annamie Paul's decision to resign as party leader

Morrice 'open minded' about potential leadership run, but says focus is on new MP duties

Incoming Green MP Mike Morrice says he respects the decision by Annamie Paul to resign as party leader, making her announcement Monday morning.

Morrice is one of two Green MPs elected in last week's federal election. The other is former Green leader Elizabeth May in Saanich–Gulf Islands in B.C.

Morrice, who will represent the Ontario riding of Kitchener Centre, was attending orientation sessions for new MPs in Ottawa when he heard of Paul's announcement.

"I respect her decision," he said in an interview Monday afternoon. "There was a leadership review process that the party has in their constitution and I respect that Annamie has chosen to resign in advance of that."

Green Party of Ontario Leader Mike Schreiner released a statement saying Paul "is an important voice in Canadian politics."

"I was proud to campaign with her," he added.

In June, Paul accused a "small group" within the Green's governing body of trying to push her out. 

Paul said the allegations made against her during a meeting that month "were so racist, so sexist, that they were immediately disavowed by both our MPs as offensive and inflammatory."

WATCH | Annamie Paul talk to CBC The National about allegations of racism, sexism in politics:

Schreiner said she had a strong performance in the leaders' debate during the election campaign, and her unique challenges as leader means "many people will be asking some important questions today."

"I'm sad that systemic barriers exist in all parts of our society, including political parties," he added.

"As leader of the Ontario Greens, I cannot speak for the federal party, but I do recognize that the party I lead has more work to do to combat systemic racism. I am committed to doing the hard work to build a party that is diverse, inclusive and welcoming."

Paul faced leadership review

Paul said on Monday that on election day, the only email she received from party officials was one calling an emergency meeting to launch a leadership review.

On Saturday night, there was an announcement sent to all members of the party saying a leadership review had been launched, she said.

"I just asked myself if this is something that I wanted to continue, whether I was willing to continue to put up with the attacks I knew would be coming, whether to continue to have to fight and struggle just to fulfil my democratically elected role as leader of this party, and I just don't have the heart for it," she said.

Paul said she broke a glass ceiling by becoming leader of the Green Party of Canada, but "what I didn't realize at the time was that I was breaking a glass ceiling that was going to fall on my head, and leave a lot of shards of glass that I was going to have to crawl over throughout my time as a leader."

Morrice 'open minded' about future

Morrice said he disagreed with calls earlier this year for Paul to step down or be removed as leader, and agreed with Schreiner that she faced barriers and systemic racism where others do not.

Looking ahead, Morrice said, new people joined the party's federal council in August, and he's optimistic there will be a chance for them to speak up and unify the party. He said he'd like to see the council focus on priorities like the climate crisis, addressing the lack of affordable housing and providing mental health services to people.

"They need to ensure that the newer voices on the council do more to support whoever it might be that steps into that role," he said.

When asked if he might consider running for the Green leadership, Morrice said he's "open minded," but his focus is on his new role as a member of Parliament.

"My focus needs to stay there, on our community, on the priorities from right across Kitchener Centre," he said. "That work is just beginning and that really is my focus."

Annamie Paul is stepping down as Green Party leader

Paul's time as leader was hampered by internal squabbling

Green Party Leader Annamie Paul announced today she is stepping down as leader of her party after its disastrous showing in the recent federal election, prompting a search for a new leader less than a year after the last one concluded.

Paul said she is leaving now because she can't bear to go through a fractious leadership review, a process that was formally launched Saturday by members eager to replace her after the party's poor showing in the 44th general election.

"I just asked myself whether this is something I wanted to continue, whether I was willing to put up with the attacks I knew would be coming, whether to continue to fight and struggle just to fulfil my democratically elected role as leader of this party," Paul told reporters at a Toronto press conference. "I just don't have the heart for it."

Paul, a bilingual former diplomat, was picked by members to take the reins of the party last October, becoming the first Jewish woman and Black person to lead a major federal political party.

She pushed to make the party more diverse and reflective of contemporary Canada but her time at the top will be remembered most for the internal squabbling that undermined her leadership and the party's electoral fortunes.

After posting its best result ever in the 2019 election, the resignation of its former leader Elizabeth May prompted soul-searching among the party's ranks as an ethnically and ideologically diverse group of candidates lined up to replace her.

Paul, a relative moderate, narrowly beat out an opponent who described himself as a "radical" and an "eco-socialist." Paul promised aggressive action on climate change and policies to address systemic discrimination.

Leadership tainted by infighting, policy disputes

But Paul was hampered by party infighting and a dispute over the party's policy on Israeli and Palestinian issues.

During the last Middle East crisis in May, Paul called for de-escalation and a return to dialogue — a response that was seen as insufficiently critical of Israel by some in the party, including one of its then MPs, Jenica Atwin.

Atwin, who eventually joined the Liberals and won re-election under that party banner last week, said Paul's response to what she called an ongoing "apartheid" was "totally inadequate."

Another then-Green MP, Paul Manly, said the planned removal of some Palestinian families from East Jerusalem amounted to "ethnic cleansing."

An Israeli court has since ruled that Palestinians living in the contested neighbourhood of Sheikh Jarrah can stay in their homes, with some conditions.

The caucus pushback led one of Paul's advisers, Noah Zatzman, to accuse politicians, including some unspecified Green MPs, of discrimination and antisemitism.

"We will work to defeat you and bring in progressive climate champions who are antifa and pro LGBT and pro indigenous sovereignty and Zionists!!!!!" he said in a May social media post.

Paul did little to distance herself from Zatzman, which angered some members who saw the leader's inaction as a sign that she endorsed her adviser's call to replace two incumbent Green MPs. The Zatzman post and Paul's reaction prompted Atwin's floor-crossing — a devastating blow to a party that had only three MPs.

Paul then faced several calls for a leadership review. At one point, party executives even tried to rescind her membership — an extraordinary move only weeks out from a widely expected election call.

Paul blamed the party's poor showing on unnamed senior party members who, she said Monday, "took great pleasure in attacking me." She said the party's national council stymied any chance of her doing well in the election because it held back some of the resources needed to run a winning campaign.

"It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that when you head into an election without funding for your campaign, when you head into an election without the staff to staff your campaign, when you head into an election without a national campaign manager, when you head into an election being again under the threat of a court process from your party, it's going to be very hard to convince people to vote for your party," Paul said.

'It has been the worst period in my life'

Paul said she had thought of quitting before all the votes had been cast because her time as leader has been such a miserable experience.

"What people need to realize is that when I was elected and put in this role, I was breaking a glass ceiling. What I didn't realize at the time was that I was breaking a glass ceiling that was going to fall on my head and leave a lot of shards of glass that I was going to have to crawl over throughout my time as a leader," she said.

"This was not easy. It has been extremely painful. It has been the worst period in my life, in many respects."

Paul spent nearly all of the recent campaign in the riding of Toronto Centre, where she was running for a third time.

Paul justified the limited itinerary by saying some Green candidates didn't want her in their ridings during the election. She ultimately finished a disappointing fourth place in her bid to become an MP.

Under Paul's leadership, the party's vote dropped from a high-water mark of 1.1 million votes and 6.5 per cent of the national vote in 2019 to less than 400,000 votes and 2.3 per cent of the vote share in the most recent contest.

'Set up for failure'

In an interview with CBC News, Victoria Galea, Paul's executive assistant, said the leader was "absolutely pummeled" by the national council and other party brass during her time at the top.

"She was not set up for success in this election. She was absolutely set up for failure," she said, adding that Paul was "not given a single penny for the Toronto Centre campaign, which is wildly unprecedented."

Galea said some of the party's national council members are holdovers from May's time at the helm — and they're still loyal to the former leader.

"Every previous leader has a responsibility to a new leader, to allow them to grow in their new roles and allow them to have a smooth transition," she said, adding May bears some responsibility for the internal disputes.

"Every single day the party has set her up for failure, and that includes the former leader of the party."

Lori Turnbull is an associate professor of political science and the director of the School of Public Administration at Dalhousie University. She said it was always going to be difficult for May's successor to put her stamp on a party still so closely tied to the woman who led it for more than 13 years.

"For so long, it was really Elizabeth May's party and her brand was the party. People built trust in it largely because of how she performed. She was the face of the thing," Turnbull told CBC News.

"They're a small party. It's really difficult to try and manage a transition when you don't have the machinery, the institutional memory, the money and all the rest of it."

As for who the Greens should pick as their next leader, Turnbull said it would be a good idea to pick someone who has a seat in the Commons. While the party under-performed nationally, Green candidate Mike Morrice won his race in the Ontario riding of Kitchener Centre.

"There is some forward momentum to build on," Turnbull said.

Harper wanted 2004 coalition: Duceppe

Stephen Harper once tried to form the type of coalition government he's now calling illegitimate and unprincipled, Bloc Québécois Leader Gilles Duceppe said Saturday as he launched his election campaign.

Duceppe slammed Stephen Harper for his criticism of the opposition over trying to work together.

"He finished second in that election," Duceppe said in Montreal. "If he says that's undemocratic, well, that's exactly what he was asking for. So let's not play games with history. He has to take responsibility."

Duceppe says Harper called him and Layton to a meeting in Montreal in 2004 where they came up with new rules — rules now in use in the House of Commons — for running committees and some debate days.

"It was one of the most important meetings I had with respect to parliamentary democracy. And I'm not rewriting history here … we changed most of the rules of the House that day," Duceppe said. "They were important changes."

Duceppe pointed to the letter he signed with Harper and Layton that said Harper was ready to form a government if then-prime minister Paul Martin lost the confidence of the House.

Harper has argued a coalition is not a legitimate or principled way to form government, and he's pointed to the Bloc in particular, arguing Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff shouldn't consider relying on the support of separatists.

Erin O'Toole says he has enough Conservative caucus support to stay on as leader

'We're all disappointed — no one more so than me,' Conservative leader says of election result

Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole said today he believes he has enough support from his party's MPs to stay on as leader if he's forced to go through a caucus leadership review.

Two weeks after losing the election to the incumbent Liberals, Conservative MPs gathered in Ottawa today for a caucus meeting to discuss the disappointing result — and vote on a series of measures that could give MPs the power to fire O'Toole and launch another leadership race to replace him.

While there has been grumbling in Conservative circles over O'Toole's performance during the campaign — at least one caucus member told CBC News that they want to see him resign — the leader said today he thinks he has enough support to hang on and lead the party through another election.

"Yes I do," O'Toole said when asked if he has the backing of most MPs.

"I've spoken to most of the caucus. We're all disappointed — no one more so than me — but we need to make sure we build on the gains we have made, learn from where we fell short. That's what any team, any family does when you have a disappointment, you learn from it and you come together and that's what this meeting will do today."

'We have to be ready to run again'

O'Toole said his focus will be on holding Trudeau to account and preparing the party for another election, which could come at any time in a minority Parliament. "We have to be ready to run again," he said.

"I think Mr. Trudeau has already let Canadians down again in his first 10 days," O'Toole said, referring to Trudeau's beach vacation in Tofino, B.C. on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. "He has more lessons to learn than we do."

Following the terms of the Reform Act — legislation drafted by Conservative MP Michael Chong and adopted by Parliament in 2015 — a series of votes were held at the start of today's caucus meeting. The votes are designed to give MPs and, to a lesser degree, senators more decision-making power in a parliamentary system that has become increasingly centralized around party leaders and their teams.

WATCH | Erin O'Toole optimistic about his political future:

Erin O’Toole confident he will stay on as federal Conservative leader

1 month ago
2:02
Erin O'Toole will stay on as Conservative Party leader, for now. Conservative MPs gathered today for a caucus meeting and, for the most part, expressed support for O'Toole. But his future is uncertain; caucus did adopt a measure that would allow them to oust O'Toole if enough MPs vote in favour. And there are grumblings among some who believe the party has strayed too far from its conservative principles. 2:02

Conservative MPs voted to give themselves the power to elect a caucus chair — the Tories picked for the job Scott Reid, a long-time MP from eastern Ontario — and expel an MP, if necessary.

They also agreed to adopt the Reform Act's leadership review principle but a vote on O'Toole's future isn't expected today.

Under the rule adopted by MPs, at least 20 per cent of caucus members must formally request a leadership review. If enough agree, a secret ballot vote is then held to decide the fate of the leader.

If a simple majority of members vote against O'Toole in such a process, an interim leader is appointed and the party launches a search for O'Toole's permanent successor.

O'Toole described the mechanism as part of a "fair and transparent process" required of any properly functioning party.

"This is not about a sword of Damocles hanging over my head," he told reporters in Ottawa. "We are united as a team."

O'Toole also announced a separate party review that will examine "every element" of the Tories' 2021 campaign, with the goal of helping the party win more votes whenever the next federal election occurs.

The campaign review will be led by former MP James Cumming. Another person not yet named will be tasked with reviewing the Conservatives' Quebec campaign.

Conservative MP Shannon Stubbs, who represents the rural Alberta riding of Lakeland, said O'Toole will face tough questions about the party's drift to the political centre in the election.

During the campaign, O'Toole embraced a big-spending platform and promised to push off a return to balance budgets for ten years. He also initially promised to repeal a Liberal ban on assault-style firearms — only to backtrack during the campaign.

Stubbs said that shift in O'Toole's position hurt her in her local race; she said she saw 15 per cent fewer votes cast in her name than she did in 2019.

"I believe there needs to be an accounting on how it is that we are going to maintain Conservative voters, maintain confidence among Conservative voters and supporters," she said.

She said O'Toole's embrace of a more moderate form of conservatism — which was sold as a way to win over voters in urban areas of central Canada — failed to pay dividends.

"The reality is that today, after the 2021 election, Conservatives are more rural, more homogeneous than we've ever been before. And we lost great, strong, necessary colleagues in big cities in every part of this country," she said.

Most of the MPs who stopped to speak to reporters ahead of the caucus meeting said they support O'Toole staying on as leader, even if they supported some of the Reform Act policies in principle.

Conservative MP Marilyn Gladu, who ran for the party's leadership last year, said O'Toole "showed himself to be a really impressive leader. He did well in the debates, the platform was great. He did lead the team well and no one is perfect."

But she added there were "a few problematic points in that campaign" that need to be addressed before the next election. She said some Conservative supporters were disappointed by the "flip-flop on the carbon tax" and O'Toole's shifting position on firearms during the campaign.

Conservative MP Karen Vecchio, who fended off a People's Party challenger in her southwestern Ontario riding, said she is "100 per cent, absolutely" behind O'Toole.

"I think the story will be gone by 12 o'clock," she said of today's caucus meeting.

Chong said he "supports Erin staying on as leader" because the party performed better in Ontario and Quebec than in past elections, picked up a seat in Newfoundland and Labrador for the first time in 10 years and won back traditionally Tory ridings in the Maritimes.

"The topline results look very similar to the last election. But when you look beneath the hood, so to speak, the results are quite different. Was it enough? Clearly not," Chong said.

"I think he should stay on because I think he's set us on the right track. Clearly we've got some work to do but if we stay on this track — with changes, clearly mistakes were made — I think that sets us up well for the next election."

Conservative B.C. MP Dan Albas said the party is well-positioned to win in the next election. "Everyone I've been speaking to so far has been saying the same thing — the Liberals, the trend is not their friend," he said. "We've grown our vote share in parts of the country we haven't won in a long time."

"I fully support Mr. O'Toole," said Conservative Alberta MP Michelle Rempel Garner. "We're all looking forward to getting back to work."

If he can avoid a caucus revolt in the meantime, O'Toole faces another formal challenge to his position in 2023.

Under the party's constitution, there is an automatic leadership review at the first national Conservative convention "following a federal general election when the party does not form the government and the leader has not indicated, prior to the commencement of the national convention, an irrevocable intention to resign."

So if O'Toole does not resign before the planned 2023 convention, delegates will be asked to vote on whether they want to launch a "new leadership selection process" to replace him. The scars from this campaign may have faded by the time members get a say.

O'Toole concedes some Conservative MPs have caused 'confusion' over vaccines

Conservative MP launching 'civil liberties' working group compared COVID-19 to polio

Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole said today he expects his party's MPs to promote vaccines and leave talk about their efficacy to the health experts — a comment that comes after a Conservative caucus member made some eyebrow-raising comments about COVID-19 shots over the weekend.

O'Toole and his team have been grappling with questions about vaccines for months as some of his party's MPs and senators have spoken out against mandatory shots or have avoided getting vaccinated altogether.

O'Toole has tried to walk a fine line — telling Canadians he supports the vaccination campaign while opposing mandatory vaccination rules for public servants and the travelling public.

O'Toole also has said his party will challenge a House of Commons Board of Internal Economy policy that requires all MPs attending Parliament in person to be vaccinated — but has refused to say how many Conservative caucus members are fully vaccinated.

A group of Conservative parliamentarians recently formed what they call a "civil liberties" working group to advocate for the unvaccinated.

While promoting the group's work during an appearance on CTV, Conservative MP Marilyn Gladu suggested that polio — a disease largely eradicated in Canada through vaccinations — posed more of a threat than COVID-19.

"In terms of the risk, people that got polio, many of them died and many of them were crippled, and that is not the same frequency of risk that we see with COVID-19," she said in an interview on the network's Question Period program.

"I'm just receiving the information from medical experts that talk about the relative risk. I'm not a doctor myself."

Between 1949 and 1954, 11,000 people in Canada incurred some degree of paralysis and 500 people died due to polio. More than 29,000 Canadians have died so far of COVID-19 since the onset of this health crisis in early 2020.

Gladu also said "multiple sources of data" must be reviewed to determine if vaccine mandates actually work to curb the spread of the virus. She said asking people to disclose their vaccination status is a slippery slope that could lead to "discrimination" against people with other health conditions.

"People are being forced to disclose and the question is, what is next?" she said.

In an interview with CBC's Power & Politics, Gladu said vaccine mandates "infringe on people's rights" and that politicians "need to hear from all sides," including those who choose to go unvaccinated.

Asked about Gladu's comparison of COVID-19 to polio, O'Toole said Conservatives "take a professional approach to discussions on the safety of vaccines."

"That was not the case yesterday with Ms. Gladu. There is a big difference between the work you do as an MP for your constituents and questions involving reasonable accommodations and the matter of efficacy of vaccines. Vaccines are safe and effective," O'Toole said. "There is a big difference between the work done by MPs for constituents and creating confusion."

Gladu's comments not 'helpful,' says O'Toole

With more than five million eligible Canadians still choosing to avoid vaccination, O'Toole said, politicians should be focused on helping the hesitant find answers to legitimate questions.

"Ms. Gladu's interview yesterday added more questions and I don't think that's helpful," he said.

Gladu isn't the first Conservative MP to speak out about vaccine policy. Newly elected MP Leslyn Lewis, who placed a close third in the 2020 Conservative leadership race, has emerged as a vocal critic of plans to roll out COVID-19 shots to kids, saying Canadian children are being "used as shields for adults."

Most health experts say vaccine coverage in this younger cohort will help Canada finally achieve some form of herd immunity against the virus.

Tory MP Dean Allison, who represents the Ontario riding of Niagara West, has invited speakers challenging the widespread use of COVID-19 vaccines onto a show he broadcasts online. Those guests — some of them doctors — have suggested vaccines aren't necessary for those previously infected by the virus, a position that is not widely held by public health experts.

"It's a great example of why members of Parliament, of all stripes, should let the professionals, the public health officials, the physicians, answer questions about efficacy of vaccines or provincial programs on vaccines," O'Toole said when asked about the actions of these MPs.

O'Toole dodged questions about whether these MPs should be booted from caucus for questioning the advice of public health officials, saying caucus membership isn't a decision for the leader alone.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau pounced on the Conservatives' disunity on vaccines ahead of a Liberal caucus meeting today. He said Conservative squabbling over vaccines threatens the country's pandemic recovery.

"Even as Canadians are moving forward, even as Canadians are continuing to get vaccinated at record rates, the Conservatives are actually moving backwards. More and more Conservatives are stepping up to stand against vaccination, to stand against science," Trudeau said.

"I can't imagine any of you putting up your hand and saying, 'Well, I deserve special treatment because I'm an MP.' I can't imagine it occurring to any of you to say that, but that's what Conservatives are saying," he said.

O'Toole leaves MPs who questioned vaccine policy out of his shadow cabinet

Poilievre appointed finance critic, Rempel Garner out at health in Conservative shadow-cabinet shuffle

Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole announced his shadow cabinet today — the critics who will stare down Liberal ministers in the House of Commons and press for answers on key files.

Notably absent from the critics' list are MPs who have voiced opposition to COVID-19 vaccine policies.

Newly elected MP and former Conservative leadership contender Leslyn Lewis, long-time MP Marilyn Gladu and Saskatchewan MP Rosemarie Falk have been left on the Conservative backbench without a prominent role in the next Parliament.

Lewis has criticized COVID-19 vaccinations for children. Gladu recently took on a role with a new "civil liberties" working group of parliamentarians concerned about vaccinate mandates. Falk has expressed opposition to what she has called "mandatory vaccinations."

Gladu and Falk served previously in O'Toole's pre-election shadow cabinet as critics for the Queen's Privy Council and seniors respectively. Gladu, who made waves recently by comparing COVID-19 to polio, also served previously as the party's health critic under former leader Andrew Scheer.

B.C. MP Mark Strahl, who said last month in a social media post that vaccine mandates are "discriminatory, coercive and must be opposed," has lost his job as the party's shadow minister for labour.

Ontario MP Dean Allison, the host of an online show that has featured vaccine skeptics as guests, has been left out of the shadow cabinet, although he didn't have a role on O'Toole's team before the September federal election.

Asked what he would do about MPs who have questioned public health guidance or government directives on vaccines, O'Toole said his choices for the shadow cabinet reflect how he feels about the issue.

"We selected experienced MPs who are prepared to fight inflation, prepared to fight the Liberal-NDP coalition and also to address vaccine hesitancy. It's very important for leaders in our shadow cabinet to play that role and that's why I made choices like the ones I just announced," O'Toole said in French.

Former leadership candidates on backbench

Lewis, who has strong support from the social conservative wing of the party, ran a close third place in last year's leadership race.

One of the few people of colour elected under the Conservative banner, Lewis has said Canadian children are being "used as shields for adults" and has vowed to stand against the deployment of COVID-19 shots in kids. Most health experts say vaccine coverage in this younger cohort will help Canada achieve some form of herd immunity against the virus.

Gladu also ran for the party's leadership but failed to gain enough early support to get her name on the final ballot.

She is a member of a group of Conservative parliamentarians who recently formed what they call a "civil liberties" working group to advocate for the unvaccinated. While promoting the group's work during an appearance on CTV, Gladu suggested that polio — a disease largely eradicated in Canada through vaccinations — posed more of a threat than COVID-19.

Gladu also said "multiple sources of data" must be reviewed to determine if vaccine mandates actually work to curb the spread of the virus. She said asking people to disclose their vaccination status is a slippery slope that could lead to "discrimination" against people with other health conditions.

After the shadow cabinet positions were announced today, Gladu issued a statement to the media retracting her comments.

"I would like to apologize for my inappropriate comments about COVID-19 vaccines during a recent CTV interview. Upon reflection, I recognize how dangerous it is to share misinformation about the severity of COVID-19 and the safety and efficacy of vaccines. I retract these comments in full," Gladu said.

"I apologize unreservedly to Canadians. I also apologize to my caucus colleagues and Leader for the distraction my comments have created."

Experienced MPs take on top critic roles  

Ontario MP Pierre Poilievre is back as the party's finance critic. Known as a hard-charging parliamentarian, Poilievre was swapped out of that role by O'Toole before the last election.

He's back now, O'Toole said, because the Conservatives are intent on holding the government's feet to the fire over its perceived mishandling of inflation. The pandemic, massive government spending and constrained supply chains have caused prices to spike, a phenomenon that makes the cost of living higher for everyone.

"As you know, Pierre is one of our strongest communicators. He's tough in the House. I see Liberals quiver when he rises to his feet, whether it's on the WE Charity scandal or other issues," O'Toole said. 

"The big risk facing our country is inflation — the highest rate in 20 years. So, I want Mr. Trudeau and Ms. Freeland worried about their complacency, their overspending and that NDP coalition," O'Toole said, citing media reports suggesting the Liberals and NDP are in talks over some sort of cooperation agreement ahead of Parliament's return on Nov. 22. "They can buy Jagmeet Singh's silence. They cannot buy ours or Pierre's."

Poilievre's replacement as finance critic, B.C. MP Ed Fast, will serve as the party's industry, innovation and science critic. O'Toole said the job change was not a criticism of Fast personally. "I'm a big fan of Ed Fast," O'Toole said.

Alberta MP Michelle Rempel Garner, who was a sharp critic of the government's pandemic response, has been shuffled out of her role as health critic and into the natural resources portfolio.

A skilled communicator, Rempel Garner will take on Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault and Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson, two Liberal ministers who have been tasked with reshaping Canada's climate policy as the country strives to dramatically slash greenhouse gas emissions by some 40 to 45 per cent by the end of the decade.

Growing calls for O’Toole to toughen stance on MPs who question COVID-19 vaccines

There are growing calls for Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole to toughen his stance on MPs who question the safety and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines. 1:56

Last week at the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promised to put a cap on emissions from the oil and gas sector, which could have long-term consequences for jobs and growth in Alberta's oil patch.

"We actually want the country to succeed. We want to reduce emissions but not by shutting down an entire sector of the economy when we need them the most," O'Toole said.

"So, you're going to see a mixture of experienced, talented and new voices proposing an economic future that I think Canadians will be desperate for by the time the next election comes."

Alberta MP Shannon Stubbs, who voiced concerns about O'Toole's leadership after the September election, is also out as the party's shadow minister for public safety.

Stubbs told reporters ahead of the first post-election caucus meeting that she was concerned about the party's shift to the centre under O'Toole, criticizing his election flip-flop on firearms in particular.

News Release

Energy and Mines

New Electricity Act introduced

07 May 2013FREDERICTON (GNB) – A new Electricity Act introduced in the legislative assembly today will allow NB Power to operate more efficiently, increase transparency and continue to provide stable electricity rates.

The act, introduced by Energy and Mines Minister Craig Leonard, will re-integrate the NB Power group of companies into one main company and one subsidiary, as opposed to seven separate companies. Also, the New Brunswick System Operator and the New Brunswick Electric Finance Corporation will be amalgamated into the new, vertically-integrated Crown utility to be called New Brunswick Power Corporation.

The changes come following the release of the New Brunswick Energy Blueprint in late 2011, which set out a 10-year energy policy and 3-year energy action plan for the province. Key principles of the blueprint are:

●    low and stable energy prices;
●    energy security;
●    reliability of the electrical system;
●    environmental responsibility; and
●    effective regulation.  

All five of these key principles are reflected in the new Electricity Act.

“We are pleased to move forward with the re-integration of NB Power,” said Leonard. “Not only does it make good business sense, but other changes we are bringing forward will help to strengthen the utility's management and board of directors, require greater transparency at the utility and allow NB Power to pay down debt and operate like a business.”

The entire NB Power organization will be subject to regulatory review and scrutiny by the New Brunswick Energy and Utilities Board (EUB). Today only two of the seven NB Power companies are subject to review.

The new act will grant NB Power the exclusive right to sell electricity to customers in New Brunswick, with the exception of customers served by the municipal utilities in Edmundston, Perth-Andover and Saint John.

NB Power will also be granted the exclusive right to build new transmission lines in the province. However, it will be permitted to do so via partnerships or joint ventures with other companies in order to share project costs and risk.

As part of a series of new objectives outlined in the act, a merit-based process for recruiting and selecting candidates for NB Power's board of directors, as well as for the president and chief executive officer, will be introduced.

NB Power will no longer be permitted to increase rates up to three per cent with no hearing. Instead, the utility will be required to defend its rates before the EUB every year, regardless of the amount of increase.

The provincial government will no longer have the authority to override an EUB rate decision, giving the board final authority over electricity rates.

In addition, NB Power will be required to develop a long-term Integrated Resource Plan every three years, as well as a medium-term business plan annually with projections of electricity rates and capital expenditures over the 10 years covered by the plan.

The new act enshrines in legislation the government's policy objectives of permitting NB Power to achieve a capital structure of 20 percent equity by paying off $1 billion in debt; requiring NB Power to operate its facilities in the most efficient manner possible; and, to the extent practicable, maintaining electricity rates as low as possible and stable from year to year.

As a transitional measure, the act allows NB Power to increase electricity rates up to a maximum of two per cent on Oct. 1, 2013 and again on Oct. 1, 2014, if required, while the new re-integrated utility prepares for a number of regulatory matters with the EUB that result from the restructuring. Beginning in fiscal year 2015-16, rates will be set by the EUB every year.
 
Given the government's three-year rate freeze, which comes to an end on Sept. 30, the modest rate increases in 2013 and 2014 will help NB Power achieve the financial and debt reduction targets mandated by the government. This is intended to ensure the long-term financial health and sustainability of the Crown utility.

“After the three-year rate freeze we are pleased that NB Power is able to stay on track to meet its debt reduction target with reasonable increases of no more than two per cent per year over the next two years,” said Leonard. “NB Power has been able to reduce costs significantly while continuing to offer safe and reliable service to New Brunswickers.”

Bill 39 Keeps the Politics in NB Power

Posted by 341sc on May 22, 2013

22 MAY 2013

Bill 39, the proposed new Electricity Act, was debated yesterday in the Legislature during second reading. The Green Party says the debate overlooked the key problem with Bill 39. It fails to keep the politics out of NB Power.

"Energy Minister Craig Leonard claims that Bill 39 will ensure that NB Power will operate like a business, free from political interference, but nothing could be further from the truth,"   said Green party leader David Coon. "The dirty little secret is that Cabinet will still be in the driver's seat when it comes to determining the most important costs associated with running the electrical utility, and the costs determine the price of electricity," said Coon.

Unlike provinces such as Nova Scotia, Bill 39 requires NB Power to have its business plan, the Integrated Resource Plan, reviewed and approved by the provincial cabinet every three years rather than by the Energy and Utilities Board (EUB). Furthermore, while proposals for costly refurbishments or new power plants will be reviewed by the EUB, Cabinet retains the authority to make the final decision.

"Bill 39 gives Cabinet a direct role in approving NB Power expenditures, which determine the price the utility must charge for its electricity," said Coon. "Bill 39 keeps the politics in NB Power which is why the Green Party has been demanding it be sent to committee for public hearings," said the Green Party leader.

In this episode, and for the next 5 on And the Winner Is... we'll try to help you navigate that sea of words, as we present "Spin Cycles: A Series About Spin, the Spinners and the Spun."
And after listening to the series, you'll never hear or read the news in the same way again.

A Q&A with Ira Basen on the Power of Spin

 


 
It’s an age-old tradition for journalists and public relations (PR) persons to be enemies. Journalists think they’re noble good-doers who seek the truth and stand opposed to scummy PR reps, who lie and hide the deepest, darkest secrets of their corporations.

But if you speak to Ira Basen, a Ryerson journalism school lecturer and the former senior producer of CBC’s Quirks and Quarks, he’ll give you a different take. Basen was involved in creating the special CBC series Spin Cycles, a six-part look at how PR and journalism intertwine. On top of Basen believing that PR and journalism should maintain a different relationship, he believes it might also be possible that Journalism and PR need each other more than ever.

I spoke with Basen to understand why we should shift our perspectives, and how PR and journalism are becoming more alike than we might realize.

Sierra Bein: How did you start reporting on PR in journalism? 

Ira Basen: In the late ‘90s, I was the executive producer of a national morning show. It took up the time slot that’s now occupied by The Current and Q… I was struck by how many people came on the program that had obviously been media-trained because they knew how to respond to a question without answering it. I found it rather frustrating, because the two things you’re trying to do if you’re putting something on the radio is educate people and inform them, and entertain them as well. So, we were not doing any of those things.

Has PR and journalism always been considered rivals?

Public Relations was (in the late 1800s)… essentially managing strategic relationships… It would be a conduit that would allow the organization to express its opinions to the public and the public could then express its opinions back to the organization. But it was not about selling, it was not about marketing. Public relations took on that marketing function later on.

There are certainly friends of mine who are still purists and who get very upset when you try to link marketing with public relations. What they say is that all marketing is communications, but not all communications is marketing.

I’ve heard people say that “If PR fails, journalism fails.” Do you think that’s said because they’re so intertwined?

I think that there’s an increasing lack of trust in the media… One of the consequences of that is that people will treat information they get from a journalist with the same amount of skepticism as they do a PR person.

There is a different purpose in PR than there is in journalism—and that’s fundamental—but I think that is getting blurred a lot, partly because of things like native advertising. So I think that if we reach the stage that I think we’re heading towards, where people see media as no more trustworthy than PR, that’s a dangerous place to be.

One thing we’ve talked about before is something people don’t talk about—how PR people understand our job very well, but we don’t understand their job and we don’t talk about it in the newsroom. What effect does this create? 

There’s a large percentage of people in PR who were either former journalists or were trained as journalists and never went into journalism, so they know how the industry works.

The result is that smart PR people understand what a story is, they understand what deadlines are, and they understand what makes a journalist tick and what makes them think, and the ones who do that can be very effective at their jobs. But on the other side, since most journalists don’t really understand how PR people work and what they think, and they continue to have these stereotypes, they’re not as effective as they should be.

They should be able to sort out where public relations people can actually be helpful to the job they do and where they can be an obstacle to their job. But I think that if journalists knew more about it, they would be able to understand how to work with public relations people to get their story, because public relations people are not always the enemy of that story.

Changes to New Brunswick information law 'an alarm bell,' critics say

Amendments give minister power to apply different rules in different circumstances

 
Jacques Poitras· CBC News ·
Treasury Board Minister Ernie Steeves says a proposed change in New Brunswick's right-to-information law would speed up the process, but some say it gives too much power to his office to decide how requests are processed. (Jacques Poitras/CBC)

The Higgs government is giving itself the power to direct how departments and other public bodies process requests for documents and records, including the ability to apply different rules depending on the circumstances.

Treasury Board Minister Ernie Steeves describes the proposed amendments to the Right to Information and Protection of Privacy Act as making the process more efficient. 

He said they will address "gaps, unclear wording and overly complex procedures" to help speed up the process of responding to the public's requests for information.

But the bill will also give him the authority to tell government departments and other public bodies covered by the law, such as municipalities, how to process requests.

The bill lets a Treasury Board minister "establish directives and guidelines setting out the requirements to be met" by the entities fielding requests.

What's more, it lets the minister decide if a directive is "general or specific" and lets him or her decide whether the rules "may apply differently in different circumstances."

This version of a briefing note released by FacilicorpNB to a lobby group is heavily blacked out. The same document released earlier by the Department of Health to CBC News did not contain the same redactions. (CBC)

That's "an alarm bell," according to retired CBC journalist Dean Beeby, an expert in access-to-information laws.

"When unspecified power and responsibilities are being given to a senior official of government, it can be so easily abused," Beeby said.

"Why are there no guardrails on this? Why is it so open-ended?"

Ombud Charles Murray said letting the minister apply different rules of disclosure in different situations creates a risk.

"The risk is that the minister will make arbitrary decisions or will be suspected of making arbitrary decisions," said Murray, who fields complaints from the public when the province doesn't provide what's been requested.

"To me, this amendment suggests that the minister be given more leeway to make those decisions as he or she feels fit."

Retired CBC journalist Dean Beeby calls the decision to give unspecified powers to the Treasury Board minister 'an alarm bell.' (CBC)

The act is used by journalists, watchdog groups, opposition parties and other citizens to request government documents.

But the legislation is full of exemptions and procedures that often slow down or prevent release of what's being sought.

Steeves said the amendment is there to clarify the process for departments and other public bodies and speed up release, not to further restrict information. 

"It's not like the minister can take the information and say 'No, you can't do this,'" he said.

The province's chief information officer, Liz Byrne-Zwicker, said the minister doesn't have the legal authority to provide guidance or directives under the existing law. But some other public bodies covered by the act, like municipalities, can benefit from that help.

"We would be responding to what they tell us is going to make sense and work best for them," she said. 

"The intention here is to bring consistency to interpretation and the way things are done as much as possible."

For example, that could include clarifying what is meant by a duplicate document under the act, she said. Under the amendments, duplicate copies of the same document no longer have to be released.

No protection from abuse

Beeby said there's no long-term guarantee future ministers won't use the new section of the act to slow the release of controversial information.

"With all the goodwill in the world, maybe this minister will not abuse that power, but there are future governments that may have a different view."

Murray said a more efficient right-to-information system is not an end in itself. 

"The most efficient right to information system possible would be one that gave people no right to information," he said.

"So we have to recognize that efficiency isn't the only value here." 

And he said the risk in giving a minister more discretion is that the public will lose trust in the government when information is held back.

"Public trust, we are finding out in this pandemic, is one of the key determinants of how effective your anti-pandemic measures will be. If you're not trusted, the measures won't be accepted by the populace and they won't be effective." 

The bill received second reading in the legislature on Nov. 12 and was sent to a committee for more debate.

Charles Murray, New Brunswick’s ombud and information and privacy commissioner, says the change creates the risk that the minister could make arbitrary decisions on right-to-information requests. (Nicolas Steinbach/Radio-Canada)

Murray said in the past, a bill like this would have gone to the law amendments committee for public hearings where witnesses like him could appear.

But the government opted to send the bill to the economic policy committee instead, the clearing-house for most government legislation with no public hearings and witnesses.

During the second reading debate last week, Opposition MLAs said the bill was the latest effort to erode the public's right to information.

"Every government since I can recall, since the introduction of our right-to-information legislation, has chipped away at this act and diminished people's right to information," said Green Party Leader David Coon, who's been using the act for almost four decades.

Liberal MLAs pointed out that one of their members, Bathurst West-Beresford's René Legacy, received 1,150 pages of documents on a provincial airport study but 1,050 of those pages were redacted.

"It's a wonder if there are any black markers left in the department," said Liberal Treasury Board critic Rob McKee. 

Green Party Leader David Coon, who has been making right-to-information requests for decades, says successive governments have chipped away at the act over the years. (Ed Hunter/CBC)

Other elements of the bill appear to be benign attempts to make the process work better, such as clarifying that a department no longer has to send multiple copies of the same document.

If someone makes a request to the wrong department, that department will now have the legal authority to transfer it to the appropriate department rather than telling the requestor to start over themselves.

But other sections will let the government extend or suspend the normal 30-day time limit for responding to a request when a third party has to be consulted on releasing information about them.

Byrne-Zwicker said third parties, such as private companies communicating with the province, have rights under the act and the new provisions will help protect those rights.

Beeby said long delays lead to information being released long after it's timely or relevant.

"There's a tendency to drag these things out as long as possible," he said. "We don't want to hear about problems two governments down the line. We need to hear about them now, while they can still be corrected."

Renowned gunsmith killed in Toronto police raid. Family, experts want to know why

Renowned gunsmith killed in Toronto police raid. Family, experts want to know why

'When you enter the shop of a gunsmith, what the heck do you expect to see?' asks Kotanko family lawyer


Bobby Hristova· CBC News ·
Rodger Wayne Kotanko was known to be a quiet guy and a master gunsmith. The Ontario man died on Nov. 3 after Toronto Police Service executed a search warrant at his property. (Bobby Hristova/CBC)

Jeffrey Kotanko says he was planning to visit his 70-year-old brother Rodger on Nov. 3 and go fishing with him later that day.

The two brothers met almost every day for the past 14 years. They lived minutes away from one another in Norfolk County, deep in southern Ontario near Lake Erie.

But that Wednesday, they didn't go fishing.

Instead, Jeffrey found himself racing to his brother's house after hearing from Rodger's wife, Jessie.

"She said there's guys there with guns and Rodger's hurt," Jeffrey told CBC Hamilton.

Hearing about Rodger being near guns wasn't unusual — he was a world-renowned gunsmith, known as one of the best in Canada and someone local police officers trusted to fix their firearms, according to people who knew him.

Kotanko's home on Port Ryerse Road in Norfolk County sits left to his workshop. His family's lawyer, Michael Smitiuch, says Kotanko did work for local police, the military and international clients. (Bobby Hristova/CBC)

But hearing his brother was hurt had Jeffrey rushing to Rodger's home on Port Ryerse Road.

By the time he arrived, Rodger was already dead — shot in his workshop next to his home, according to friends and family, and then taken away by paramedics.

What exactly occurred has prompted an investigation by the Special Investigations Unit (SIU), Ontario's police watchdog, and, two weeks later, many unanswered questions.

'Unusual' police actions 

Toronto Police Service said that day at noon — in broad daylight — its officers carried out a search warrant on the property. It's unclear what information they had and how many officers were at the scene, but the service said it was looking for guns. Family said no warrant was left behind. 

Quentin Dixon, Rodger's longtime friend, said officers bearing assault rifles had Jessie at gunpoint while she was unloading groceries from the vehicle.

Some officers were wearing plain clothes while others wore tactical gear, according to family, friends, neighbours and Michael Smitiuch, the family's lawyer, all of whom CBC spoke with this week. 

They say Toronto police brought their own ambulance and paramedics with them when they first arrived, a move Toronto defence lawyer Kim Schofield, who has worked on numerous cases involving the SIU, said was "very unusual." 

Schofield said officers are also usually required to give the family a copy of the search warrant.

"This is craziness," she said upon hearing about the case.

Friends and family also say Rodger was with an apparent customer in his workshop when police arrived. They separately shared the same details of what they say occurred. 

"The group of police officers moved over to the shop door entrance and nothing was said ...  within seconds, four gunshots rang out," Dixon said.

Fraser Pringle, Rodger's next door neighbour, said he heard two of those shots.

"I came out here and they were rolling him out on a gurney, threw him in an ambulance and took him," he said.

"His wife was standing on the porch crying."

By the time Jeffrey got there, about 20 minutes after the shooting, Ontario Provincial Police officers were also securing the scene.

The SIU says it's investigating one officer and has three officers who were witnesses. An autopsy also took place, but the investigation could take four months, it said.

Family kept 'in the dark': lawyer

Smitiuch said the SIU and Toronto police have kept the family "in the dark."

"I was retained when the family felt they weren't getting answers," he said in an interview Wednesday afternoon, ahead of a news conference he was expecting to host at the family's home Thursday to bring attention to the case. 

We're seeking answers and accountability ... the problem we have is we don't have an actual witness we've been able to speak to who saw all the events.
- Michael Smitiuch, lawyer for Rodger Kotanko's family

"We're seeking answers and accountability ... the problem we have is we don't have an actual witness we've been able to speak to who saw all the events."

The family and Smitiuch have no copy of the search warrant police used and don't have enough information to get a copy. He added he has not heard from Toronto police or SIU.

Smitiuch said they haven't been able to track down the apparent customer who was with Rodger and the SIU couldn't confirm to CBC News if a second person was in the workshop.

"Rodger's phone is with the police now and no one else in the family spoke to this individual, there's no certainty as to exactly who this person was."

Experts question police approach

Smitiuch also said that based on the limited information he does have, Toronto police had little to no communication with local OPP, even though OPP reportedly knew Rodger. Provincial police declined to comment.

While police and the SIU didn't confirm if this was a no-knock raid or "dynamic entry" — when police enter a residence with a search warrant but without giving prior notice to residents — lawyers familiar with those cases say it sounds like one. Toronto police do hundreds of surprise raids per year.

Ottawa criminal lawyer Lawrence Greenspon said the degree of lethal force used jumps out at him.

"What possible justification could there be for them to fire four bullets, killing the guy?" he said.

Stephen Metelsky, a criminology professor at Mohawk College in Hamilton and a retired police sergeant, said he wonders why the search warrant was done at noon instead of at 3 a.m. or 5 a.m.

"The reason they do that ... the element of surprise, most people are in bed and it's for the safety of everybody involved ... and the second part is the preservation of evidence." 

Smitiuch said he has questions about why police waited for Rodger to be in his shop, which would have been full of guns, instead of approaching earlier in the day or elsewhere. 

"If they showed up at a butcher shop and a butcher was working with a knife, they shouldn't be surprised by that ... When you enter the shop of a gunsmith, what the heck do you expect to see? You're going to see guns.

"The family is devastated, they're heartbroken but they're also outraged and they're fearful ... the police are supposed to serve and protect, not surprise and kill," Smitiuch said.

Dixon said Rodger's death was avoidable.

"All it would've taken was a knock at the door."

Rodger remembered as master gunsmith

Rodger was born and raised in Norfolk County, and grew up on a farm with his siblings, according to his brother Jeffrey. He enjoyed fishing and hunting. His passion for guns started when he was young.

He worked as a certified gunsmith for decades, passing regular inspections by Ontario's Chief Firearms Officer (who declined to comment). 

His company — Dark International Trading Company, also known as RK Custom Guns — operated out of his workshop. He repaired and modified guns while also shipping and selling them, according to the website.

Rodger mentored Dan Nagy, owner of Eli's Guns & Archery.

"He was known all across North America and other countries in the world ... I'd argue he was one of the best pistol smiths in this country," Nagy said.

Smitiuch said Rodger had an immense reputation as a gunsmith and since he was a certified gunsmith, his criminal record was "squeaky clean."

Kotanko, 70, loved hunting and fishing, and in his younger years, skydiving, those close to him say. He is survived by his wife Jessie, daughter Minying, and sons Colton and Conner. (Submitted by Jeffrey Kotanko)

Rodger married his third wife, Jessie, in China in 2012 before she moved to Canada. He had two sons from his previous marriage, Colton and Conner, and a daughter, Minying.

Dixon said he planned to retire in the next few years and move to China with his wife and daughter.

Rodger's family said they will fight to honour him and hold police accountable.

"Jessie doesn't even care about the money. She wants justice," Rodger's brother Jeffrey said.

New Brunswick reforms merge dozens of local governments and rural areas

Number of local entities will be cut from 340 to 90: there will be 78 municipalities and 12 rural districts

New Brunswick is slashing the number of local government entities by forcing mergers of dozens of municipalities and neighbouring rural areas, and combining remaining rural areas into new, larger districts with elected advisory boards and taxation powers.

Around 161,000 people, or 22 per cent of the provincial population, who now live in unincorporated local service districts will find themselves residents of enlarged municipalities when the transition is complete.

The remaining local service districts will be combined into 12 rural districts with elected advisory boards that will advise the province on local tax ratesand other decisions.

The Higgs government is describing it as a way to give those residents power over local issues.

"Your voice will be heard. The democratic deficit currently affecting 30 per cent of the province's population will be rectified," Local Government Reform Minister Daniel Allain says in a white paper released Thursday.

All told, the number of local entities will be cut from 340 to 90. There will be 78 municipalities and 12 rural districts.

"We've been talking about this for 25 years," Allain told reporters. "We've had 25 studies. The municipal associations … all told us we needed reform. We needed to move ahead." 

The reform is intended to deal with a range of chronic local government problems that have been building up for years, including the sharing and funding of local services and infrastructure, and the growth of urban sprawl just outside the taxation reach of cities, towns and villages.

Expanded role for commissions

Regional service commissions created a decade ago to co-ordinate some of those issues will be beefed up, with new mandates and voting rules to reduce the procedural gridlock on some votes and put limits on opting out.

The commissions, which include all municipalities and rural LSDs in their areas, will now have a role in economic development, tourism promotion, regional transportation and the cost-sharing of recreational infrastructure such as arenas.

They'll also have public safety committees to oversee policing and fire services. And the three largest commissions, anchored by Moncton, Saint John and Fredericton, will get a role in paying for homelessness, mental health and poverty reduction services.

Communities within the regions will not be able to opt out of the "mandated" services the commissions must provide, and will have to help pay for them under the changes.

A new voting formula will require support from members representing a simple majority of the population, not the current two-thirds requirement that has led to stalemates on some decisions.

Smaller municipalities affected

There are no major amalgamations involving the province's three largest cities. Saint John's boundaries remain unchanged and Moncton gains a small part of one local service district but not Dieppe or Riverview.

Fredericton will absorb several outlying adjacent areas but no nearby municipalities.

But a number of smaller municipalities will be fused together, along with some neighbouring local service districts, into larger entities. They include:

  • Sackville and Dorchester
  • Alma, Hillsborough and Riverside-Albert
  • Blacks Harbour and St. George
  • Cambridge Narrows and Gagetown
  • Minto and Chipman
  • Bath, Florenceville-Bristol and Centreville
  • Grand Falls and Drummond
  • Campbellton, Atholville and Tide Head

All the new entities will be in place in January 2023.

In local service districts that are absorbed by municipalities, there will be "increases or decreases" in property tax rates, the white papers says.

Those changes will be determined during the transition period next year and will be phased in over time.

It also says future local government mergers will no longer have to be approved by residents in plebiscites but will be approved by a new provincial commission.

Liberals see lots to weigh

Opposition parties were tepid in their reactions. 

"The sense I got over the last few months with the consultations was that people were very open to some kind of change," said Liberal MLA Keith Chiasson. 

"Obviously, what was announced today was a major change. So there's a lot of information shared with us and the population in general. We're going to need some time, and the population also needs some time to digest it."

Chiasson said he also didn't oppose the elimination of the plebiscite requirement.

"I don't think so, because I think a lot of communities actually wanted to work together, so I don't think we need a plebiscite to confirm what they've been asking for for years."

People's Alliance Leader Kris Austin said his party had questions but would have to take a closer look at the package.

Greens welcome change

The Green Party welcomed the changes. "Honestly, it's pretty comprehensive," said MLA Kevin Arseneau. "It's a good reform and a very important reform." 

He said there needs to be more discussion about how to include citizens in the democratic process even more, and he added he hopes Allain will be open to adjusting some of the mergers and boundaries if there is feedback calling for that.

Allain, however, suggested he wasn't inclined to make changes.

"We have to move forward on this reform, and yes, there are going to be some questions," he said.

"However, with the consultation process we did in the last year … our plan is what people were saying, and hence the reason why we're here today. There are no big surprises with some of the entities that are proposed here today." 

Next elections delayed

The next municipal elections will be pushed back from 2025 to 2026 because some of the new entities will need elections or byelections scheduled for November 2022.

Major changes to local government financing won't happen until the new municipal entities are in place but will take place before 2025.

Among possible changes at that time will be passing on the cost of rural roads to their new local entities, which the white paper says would lead to tax increases.

Other sought-after changes, including exempting apartments and other secondary properties from the provincial portion of property taxes, were also put off until then.

Municipal leaders offer largely positive response to local governance reforms

Mayors say many details left to sort out, hoped to see faster action on taxation changes

 
 
Shane Magee· CBC News ·
Daniel Allain, New Brunswick's minister of local governance reform, unveiled the plan to overhaul local government. (CBC)

Several municipal leaders across New Brunswick offered positive reactions to the provincial government's plans to overhaul local governance.

"I think it's a fantastic first step," Moncton Mayor Dawn Arnold said. "Again, the devil will be in the details."

Daniel Allain, the minister of local governance reform, released a white paper Thursday that lays out a series of proposed changes to municipal boundaries and powers to be enacted over the coming years. 

The changes would represent the first major overhaul of the local governance system since the 1960s. The proposed reforms would largely do away with local service districts where the minister serves as mayor, replacing them with new "rural districts" or folding whole or parts of districts into neighbouring municipalities.

The total number of local government entities, things like local service districts and municipalities, would be cut from 340 to 90. There will be 78 municipalities and 12 rural districts.

Jules Bossé, president of the Association of Local Service Districts of New Brunswick, says rural districts should have more power. (Radio-Canada)

Jules Bossé, president of the Association of Local Service Districts of New Brunswick, was critical of the plan, saying rural districts would still largely serve an advisory role to the minister. 

Ian Comeau, Campbellton's mayor, called the release of the white paper a historic moment. It calls for Campbellton to be merged with the villages of Atholville, Tide Head and several local service districts to form a community of about 12,300.

"I think now the work begins," Comeau said of the many steps, including the name of the new community, to enact the reforms. 

Adam Lordon, Miramichi's mayor and president of the Cities of New Brunswick Association, says structural changes to local government entities are a good step. (Shane Magee/CBC)

Adam Lordon, mayor of Miramichi and president of the Cities of New Brunswick Association, echoed Arnold's comments about it being a positive step, but he said cities hoped to see more immediate changes to taxation powers. 

The white paper says work on finances and taxation will come in a second phase of reforms after the new community boundaries are established. 

"We were hoping to see that addressed on the front end," Lordon said. 

Dieppe Mayor Yvon Lapierre hoped to see a greater reduction in the number of local governance entities in line with recommendations from l'Association francophone des municipalités du Nouveau Brunswick. 

"There's nothing that I can criticize except maybe a little lack of courage when it comes to some of the rural areas," Lapierre said. "But at least they're being they're being put all together … I think it will in time, perhaps, require some additional changes in the future."

Dieppe Mayor Yvon Lapierre says the plan strikes a good balance in accomplishing the province's goal of reducing local governance entities, though he expects more may need to be done in the future. (Shane Magee/CBC News)

Dieppe's boundaries will largely stay the same, only adding small portions of the neighbouring local service districts of Moncton and Scoudouc. 

Several community boundaries won't be affected. Those include Belledune, Tracadie, Neguac, the Rural Community of Upper Miramichi, Riverview, Memramcook, Petitcodiac, Quispamsis, Rothesay, Saint John, Grand Manan, Campobello Island, McAdam, Fredericton Junction, Tracy, and New Maryland.

All others will be changed to some degree, either merging with other nearby municipalities or absorbing all or part of local service districts. 

Alex Scholten, president of the Union of Municipalities of New Brunswick and a New Maryland councillor, said he would be talking to the group's board Thursday evening.

He expected some to be concerned, but said the changes largely follow discussions that have been taking place locally. 

"There's communities that recognize that they're probably not going to be able to survive given their financial realities and their population base in their communities," he said. "Those communities would be looking to consolidate to be able to provide the services that their residents may be looking for or would be looking for."

Jordan Manzer, who is part of the Keswick Ridge local service district advisory committee and a regional director for the LSD association, said it's positive the minister largely followed the group's goal to combine areas with similar areas of interest.

The province said decisions on what areas to combine were based on geography, language, school catchment zones, historic communities boundaries, and other factors. 

Twelve new rural districts will largely replace areas that were previously unincorporated local service districts in New Brunswick. (Government of New Brunswick)

Manzer also said it's positive that residents of rural areas will now be able to elect local representatives. However, he said there are concerns with new powers for regional service commissions.

One planned change gives those bodies, already responsible for waste collection and regional land use planning, responsibility for recreational infrastructure cost-sharing. Commissions in the Moncton, Fredericton and Saint John areas will also be able to co-ordinate funding related to homelessness, mental health and poverty. 

"We would certainly like to have conversations around cost-sharing for projects that make sense for our areas, but we don't feel a forced mechanism is the way to proceed," Manzer said.

Several leaders contacted for comment said they will study the report and speak to the recommendations at a later point, including in the cities of Bathurst and Saint John.

would have informed you in an affirmative way that I will no longer be in
position on the advisory committee of my LSD after May 31st.  You then gave
me her phone number (735-2763) to confirm that we were talking about the
same person.

As part of a province-wide file, the New Brunswick Association of Local
Service Districts (ALSDNB ), a file is being compiled to identify as many
irregularities as possible in reference to these makeshift elections under
section 170(2) of the Local Government Act. To that effect, please confirm
our discussion of May 18th and add any other details you deem relevant.

Thank you for your cooperation and your interest in the fairness of our
democratic system.

Province helps mend rift between communities after service commission dissolved
Board serving 18 towns and rural communities in Sussex-Hampton
dissolved last month amid budget dispute

Commission 8. The facility is at the heart of a dispute that pits
rural communities against the region's incorporated communities. (RSC

The Department of Local Government will arrange training and mediation
to help mend a rift between the towns and many rural communities in
the greater Sussex-Hampton area.

The volunteer board serving that region's service commission was
dissolved by Local Government Minister Jeff Carr in early February
after it became hopelessly divided over the 2019 budget.

Brenda Knight, a retired municipal administrator, has been appointed
trustee to oversee operations in the board's stead.

On March 5, Knight approved a budget for the commission, which will be
presented to representatives of the four municipalities and 14 local
service districts in coming weeks.

In the meantime, Erika Jutras, a Department of Local Government
spokeswoman, said the trustee will remain in place until either
members "demonstrate" they can work together or the next municipal
elections in May 2020, whichever comes first.

Division over solid waste costs

The board split last fall over how solid waste management costs were
to be divided between the towns and unincorporated rural communities,
called local service districts.

Many of the board members representing LSDs feel they are paying too
much for waste management.

Mary Ann Coleman chairs the LSD Advisory Committee for Waterford,
which has a population of approximately 500.

    Minister removed member of Sussex-area commission after harassment complaint

    Service commission fired after months of deadlock over budget

She says costs should be allocated strictly on how waste is generated
by each community.

The current cost formula involves a combination of a levee on the
amount of trash collected and a fixed amount for each community that
is dedicated to providing stable funding for the region's waste
transfer station in Sussex.

"It's important in my mind that we keep the costs of services, as much
as we can, down for people," said Coleman.

"This has an impact on the taxes for people in rural areas."

She says the costs to operate the waste transfer station should be
taken entirely from tipping fees, which would cost the towns more and
the LSDs less.

Proposed budget 'didn't suit' some municipalities

James McCrea was chair of the service commission board at the time it
was dissolved.

McCrea, who is from the LSD of Wickham, says the costs are not being
distributed fairly, based on trash volumes alone, and that goes
against the intent of regulations set out by the province.

"It was a fair budget, it was a really good budget that was proposed.
But it didn't suit some of the municipalities and a couple of the
local service districts," said McCrea.

Speaking to CBC last month, Sussex Mayor Marc Thorne said the budget
proposed by the LSDs threatened the future of the region's waste
transfer station and recycling operations because the station requires
stable funding year-to-year while trash volumes fluctuate.

McCrea says in asking for the change to the funding formula the rural
communities are not trying to threaten the viability of the transfer
station.

"There's never been a problem existed that can't be dealt with and
fixed, but everyone has to work together and share the costs."

Methinks it would be interesting to see what Bernadette Jordan
Canada’s inaugural minister of rural economic development thinks of
this spit and chew about our garbage We already know what our former
MP thinks of her position N'esy Pas?

New rural development minister is first female Nova Scotia MP named to
federal cabinet
By Holly McKenzie-Sutter The Canadian Press January 14, 2019 3:07 pm

"Rob Moore, Conservative shadow minister for Atlantic Canada, wished
Jordan well with her new portfolio, but questioned Trudeau’s motives
so close to October’s federal election.

Moore said the new portfolio “appears to just be a communications
exercise” that may stand for too little, too late.

“It appears to be just to give off the impression that they’re
connected or concerned with Atlantic issues, when in fact the last
three years tells us that Atlantic and rural issues are on the
backburner,” Moore said.

Trudeau’s cabinet came under fire from some Atlantic Canadians when
Navdeep Bains, a Mississauga MP, was put in charge of the Atlantic
Canada Opportunities Agency.

Criticism also followed when New Brunswick MP Dominic LeBlanc was
shuffled out of the Fisheries portfolio to be replaced with Jonathan
Wilkinson, who represents North Vancouver.

Jordan said Monday the government has a genuine commitment to rural Canada.

“I think it’s an unfortunate thing that people don’t consider rural
important, because rural is extremely important to this government,
we’re showing that,” she said."

Conservative Candidate Andrea Johnson

  • Posted by 
  • On October 4, 2019

Andrea Johnson helped make history last spring when she was part of the first all female Conservative Party nomination race in the Fredericton riding. 

Originally from Ontario, Johnson has worn many hats during her career. She began in tech startups in the private sector before moving into provincial government under an economic file. There she was in charge of inciting businesses to come to New Brunswick. 

She was inspired to come to politics upon discovering that a number of issues she is interested in are not being sufficiently addressed. Hoping to make tangible change in her local area, she considered involvement at a municipal level, before deciding to run federally. 

“I wanted to do something. I want to be able to make a difference, and represent people,” said Johnson. 

Johnson’s primary focus would be around making life more affordable for her constituents, also mentioning her passions for healthcare, taxation, and immigration. 

She believes current taxation rates are causing people to leave the province, and reformed immigration could help fill that gap. Informed by her work in provincial government, she thinks easing the transition educationally would encourage economic immigrants to settle and stay.  

“We need the best and the brightest to choose Canada. And the only way they’re going to choose us is if they can come here and have their credentials recognized,” said Johnson. 

Johnson prides herself on being what she states is not a “typical politician”. As such, she feels that she would be able to fully represent the people of Fredericton, even if it meant voicing opinions counter to the rest of her party. 

“I am not your typical person that’s putting their name on a ballot. I’m not worried about ruffling the leaders feathers or upsetting caucus. To me, you’re hired to do a job, and your job is to represent your people,” she said. 

As a single mother of four children of voting age, Johnson says she understands the concerns of the younger demographic. She encourages young voters to keep their representatives accountable, communicating the policy changes they want to see, and to go to the polls fully informed to cast their vote. 

“Start holding people accountable and challenging everything. Everything. If something doesn’t make sense, challenge it every day,” she said.

Higgs's popularity has soared, but PCs still struggling to unlock the francophone vote

PC minority government is scoring record-high approval ratings


Jacques Poitras· CBC News· Posted: Jun 05, 2020 5:00 AM AT



A political poll has showed Premier Blaine Higgs is enjoying an unprecedented political honeymoon because of his handling of COVID-19. (CBC)

Premier Blaine Higgs heads into summer enjoying an unprecedented political honeymoon because of his handling of COVID-19.

But it's not yet enough for a breakthrough among francophone voters, who are still practising political distancing from the Progressive Conservatives.

Overall, the PC minority government, which was on the verge of being toppled just three months ago, is scoring record-high approval ratings in the midst of the pandemic.

The Angus Reid Institute recently had Higgs with the highest approval rating of any premier in Canada at 80 per cent.

And Narrative Research, formerly Corporate Research Associates, says the government's 81 per cent satisfaction result is the highest it has ever recorded in New Brunswick since it began polling more than 40 years ago.

Even 74 per cent of francophone voters, chronically cool to Higgs since he became PC leader in 2016, told Narrative they're mostly or completely satisfied with his job performance.

Yet many of those satisfied francophones remain reluctant to actually vote for him.

The Liberals had 51 per cent support compared to 32 per cent for the PCs among decided francophone voters.

"Among francophones in the north, we're seeing an increase in support for the PCs, but not necessarily enough that we can see them winning many seats in northern New Brunswick," says the CBC's polling analyst Éric Grenier.

Majority for PCs if election held now


CBC’s polling analyst Éric Grenier said while support for Premier Higgs by francophones in northern New Brunswick has increased it may not lead to winning more seats in the next election.

The overall 18-point PC lead provincially over the Liberals means a majority government for Higgs would "almost certainly be the result" if an election were held now, Grenier says.

But the seat gains would most likely come in the Fredericton and Moncton areas.

The Liberals say the high poll numbers reflect satisfaction with the province's collective effort on COVID-19, one that includes Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Jennifer Russell and, not incidentally, an all-party cabinet committee on which Liberal leader Kevin Vickers sits.

"It's a combination, it's not one specific government or one specific political party," says Liberal MLA and health critic Jean-Claude d'Amours.

But PC party executive director Andrea Johnson says a lot of the credit goes to Higgs.
"I think it shows the majority of the province has confidence in how the premier has led this government and the province through this pandemic."

D'Amours says the high marks for Higgs also reflect a national phenomenon.
"People are looking for their politicians to take care of them, and if you look across the country, the approval rating of each government is pretty high."

Grenier agrees and says another aspect of the New Brunswick trend is matched elsewhere: many voters are satisfied with their provincial governments but won't necessarily cast ballots to re-elect them.

"Even though they might like the way a leader is handling this particular issue doesn't mean they would vote for them in an election," Grenier says.

Francophone support for PCs has grown


Liberal MLA and health critic Jean-Claude d’Amours said the high rating is a combination of all the work done by the all-party committee. (CBC)

That's not to take away from the PC progress among francophone voters. The 32 per cent support is double what Narrative found last fall.

At that time, the PCs were at 16 per cent among francophones, in third place behind the Greens at 20 per cent and the Liberals at 55 per cent.

But the gains are unlikely to allow the PCs to challenge Liberal dominance in heavily francophone ridings.

"The [Liberal] lead isn't as big as it was just a few months ago," Grenier says.

"But a lot of the seats they won in northern New Brunswick were won by such huge margins that even if we see a 10 to 20 point swing between the two parties, it still might not be enough to flip a lot of those seats."

When Narrative measured party support in northern ridings, as opposed to among francophone voters, the Liberal lead over the PCs was 43-39, within the poll's margin of error and thus a statistical tie.

Grenier says that might allow the PCs to make gains in northern ridings with mixed English-French populations.

PC hopes of broadening support among francophones have been hampered by the premier's own inability to speak French and his involvement three decades ago with the anti-bilingualism Confederation of Regions Party.

He has said repeatedly that his views on language rights have changed since then.

The PCs elected a single francophone MLA in the 2018 election, Robert Gauvin in Shippagan-Lamèque-Miscou, but he quit the party in February to sit as an independent.

Gauvin left over a plan to close some small-hospital emergency departments at night, saying  the government wasn't sensitive to the realities of francophone and northern New Brunswickers.

The hospital plan was quickly reversed but d'Amours says the controversy, and other concerns such as some Service New Brunswick outlets remaining closed, explain the poor PC results in francophone and northern areas.

"All those things combined still create confusion when you're saying 'do I want to support this one or that one?'"

Historical support for Liberals remains

Johnson says the Liberal support must reflect historical voting patterns because Higgs's commitment to the entire province is clear.

"A rising tide lifts all ships," she says. "His focus is the entire province and his being the calm in the storm, leading us through the pandemic, gives people across the province confidence in him. How that relates at election time is anyone's guess."

Angus Reid's poll sampled 237 New Brunswickers between May 19 and 24. The results for the province had a margin of error of 6.4 percentage points.

Narrative's poll was conducted from May 1 to 20 and sampled 800 New Brunswickers. The satisfaction numbers are considered accurate within a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points in 19 out of 20 polls.

The margin of error for the voter intention numbers, based on a smaller sample of 503 respondents, was 4.4 percentage points.
Those margins of error would be even higher among the smaller regional and linguistic sub-samples.
The numbers represent a snapshot in time, so it's not a foregone conclusion the PC honeymoon will last.

Higgs has talked about using the COVID-19 recovery to springboard to a sweeping overhaul of how government works.

Such an initiative might not enjoy the same consensus support as his pandemic response, and could trigger the kind of backlash seen over the hospital plan.

"Whether these kinds of numbers would hold right through to an election is another question entirely," Grenier says.

Gauvin was no more than a SANB insider in the 1st place . Who really expected he wouldn't jump ship at the 1st chance he got ? Tieing up the Francophone vote and getting enough of the Anglophone voters to get control of the Government goes back to the McKenna days when he sold out the Anglophones of N.B to the SANB solely for power. for power .

 People tend to forget that it wasn't just Higgs who helped control the pandemic in NB. It was because of the all-party committee formed in government to help solve this crisis that we managed to control the situation at hand. Higgs was only implementing what the committee asked him to do. If we didn't have a minority situation in government, the story of how our premier would've handled this crisis would've been completely different than what we've seen so far. Basing his performance on how he managed this pandemic is not an ideal way of measuring his overall performance, since most of his actions weren't all his to begin with. I still didn't forget the time when he slashed funding to medical programs for post-secondary education, when the need of new nurses and doctors were high, months before COVID-19 struck. Or his lack of support towards nursing home workers earlier this year. Those stories seems to have been brushed off from some people's minds already.

James Smythe 
Reply to @Brian Robertson: Offshore tax havens aren’t fair, which is what they’ve used since the 70’s to dodge tens of billions of dollars in money that could’ve been repatriated to Canada towards our health care system during a global pandemic. These loopholes leave us vulnerable, and you are clapping like a circus seal in celebration of this vulnerability.


Gabriel Boucher
Reply to @Brian Robertson:
Those medical program funds were to pay for supplies for med students to practice their skill upon, which was severely underfunded to begin with. Now students have to pay extra on their tuition to cover that cost, meaning that they're seeing a hike on their tuition due to that funding cut. Please note that tuition cost is already at an all-time high to begin with. This isn't about left-wing, right-wing. This is about poor decision making from our current government. If we really need more nurses and doctors, we shouldn't be penalizing our new recruits like that.


Brian Robertson 
Reply to @James Smythe:
You intentionally omit the very reason the Irving Corporation was driven out of New Brunswick and set up the holding company in Bermuda was because Liberal Premier Louis Robichaud was trying to bring in an inheritance tax that would have robbed them of hundreds of millions of Dollars on the death of K.C. Irving.
There comes a time when liberal greed for someone else's money simply drives investors and entrepreneurs away.


Brian Robertson

Reply to @James Smythe: Please supply details on this supposed federal "inheritance tax" because I've been working in taxes for two decades now and I've never heard of it. The income of the deceased, including capital gains on assets deemed to be disposed of on death, are taxed in the year of death. If a trust is opened for the estate, the income of the estate is taxed for the years of its existence. But there is no tax on the inheritance per se, as there is in the States for estates of greater than a certain amount

Reply to @Brian Robertson: So Irving moving to Bermuda had nothing to do with the fact that Bermuda has no income tax?? Hah. You could have fooled me.

Please answer these questions as I look forward to the spin.

"Higgs's popularity has soared, but PCs still struggling to unlock the francophone vote" If Anglophones would unite like francophones do the PC wouldn't need the French vote!

Reply to @Natalie Pugh So, you actually don't have s problem voting for a party just based on your ethnicity?

Reply to @Dan Stewart:
Well it doesn't seem to bother the Francophones.


John Oliver 
Reply to @Brian Robertson: Yeah. But it should. Even the anglos of Montreal have broken twice from the Liberal party in the last 50 years (once for the NDP federally, and once for the Equality party provincially). Of course, it would require parties offering francophones in NB an alternative, and that looks unlikely.


John Oliver 
Reply to @Brian Robertson: Also, your statement is not true. Bernard Lord won a majority of seats in francophone NB in 1999.

I don't mean all Anglophones, just the bee goats, a lot of whom on here always gripe about everything including the CBC that gives them a free forum to do their perpetual griping.

Premiers’ Performance: COVID-19 responses prompt massive increases in approval for most, but not all

Premiers’ Performance: COVID-19 responses prompt massive increases in approval for most, but not all

Only Alberta’s Kenney and Manitoba’s Pallister have sub-majority approval this quarter

May 28, 2020 – Provincial leaders across the country have had one priority over the past three months: dealing with the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus far, the reaction of their constituents has been positive – albeit to varying degrees.

Higgs and Legault

The two Premiers with the highest levels of approval this quarter are facing significantly different situations within their provinces when it comes to COVID-19.

In New Brunswick, Blaine Higgs and his Conservative government are overseeing a province with only one current active case and just 121 cases in total. The province is moving into its “yellow phase” which will allow larger gatherings and more economic activity in the coming weeks after undergoing a lockdown similar to the rest of the country. Four-in-five residents of New Brunswick say they approve of Higgs’ performance, up 32 points from February.

The epicentre of the COVID-19 outbreak in Canada has been Quebec, with close to double the number of cases in that province compared to Ontario, despite five million fewer residents. Montreal and surrounding areas have made up the bulk of cases, which has led Quebec to open other areas of the province first while leaving measures in place in its metropolitan core. Concerns over the reopening risks in and around Montreal persist but Quebec residents are positive about the stewardship of Premier Francois Legault. Three-quarters (77%) approve of his performance this quarter, an increase of 19 points over last quarter.

Horgan and Ford

Seven-in-ten residents approve of British Columbia’s John Horgan (71%) and Ontario’s Doug Ford (69%). Ford, until now, has never held majority approval since his election – an uptick likely attributable to a change in character some have dubbed the “new Doug Ford”. From segments aimed to reduce stress during the pandemic, like  “Cooking with Doug”, to auto-tuned songs of his speeches, Ontarians have seen a different side of their premier. Perhaps most importantly, previous ARI polling shows that most Ontarians are satisfied with his coronavirus response, with nine-in-ten saying he has done a “good job”.

Likewise, Horgan’s job performance managing the coronavirus outbreak on the west coast, sees a recovery after a dip in approval due to the Wet’suwet’en protests against the Coastal Gaslink pipeline that shook his province earlier in the year.

The two provinces, however, appear to be following different trajectories with respect to COVID-19 cases. In Ontario, daily cases have been more volatile, rising in the middle of May, which Health Minister Christine Elliot attributed to residents not following proper protocols on Mother’s Day two weeks prior. Ford himself was criticized after seeing members of his family who were not from his household on that weekend. More recently, Toronto Mayor John Tory apologized for not social distancing alongside thousands of others at Toronto’s Trinity Bellwoods Park. Cases have since dropped below 300 per day again, but the provincial government decided to delay an increase in the allowable group size in the province beyond the current five people.

In British Columbia, businesses have begun reopening, though public officials have asked residents to remain in their communities and keep travel close this summer. B.C. reported just 12 new cases from the May 23rd weekend. B.C.’s COVID-19 cases per 100,000 are just above 50, while Ontario’s is just over 190. Each are well below Quebec on a per capita comparison:

Moe, McNeil and Ball

In Saskatchewan, Premier Scott Moe maintains his high approval (65%), though he has more company this quarter than has traditionally been the case. Moe is joined by two Atlantic Canadian Premiers whose approval has jumped more than 30 percentage points this quarter. Nova Scotia’s Stephen McNeil is approved of by 63 per cent of residents and Newfoundland and Labrador’s Dwight Ball, who had just weeks before the pandemic announced his resignation, is approved of by 57 per cent.

Nova Scotia has been the hardest hit Atlantic Canadian province, with 114 cases per 100,000, but reported just one new case of the disease on May 23, 24 and 25. Premier McNeil inspired internet videos and merchandise after he told residents to “stay the blazes home” in early April.

Kenney and Pallister

Just two premiers fail to break majority approval this quarter. Alberta’s United Conservative Party leader and Premier Jason Kenney is approved of by 48 per cent of Albertans, while Manitoba Conservative Party leader and Premier Brian Pallister garners the approval of 47 per cent in his own province.

Alberta is home to what is reportedly the largest single-facility outbreak of COVID-19 in North America, after more than 1,500 cases were linked to the Cargill meat-packing plan in High River. Kenney’s approval has not worsened but has enjoyed the considerable warming in approval that most other premiers enjoyed this quarter.

Meanwhile, Manitoba has among the fewest COVID-19 cases in the country. Premier Pallister has not enjoyed the considerable increase in approval that some other leaders have but enjoys a slight bump, up four points from last quarter.

New Brunswick Poll Tracker

From CBC poll analyst Éric Grenier, the Poll Tracker aggregates all publicly available polls.

While the final polls of the campaign suggest the race has tightened between the Progressive Conservatives and Liberals, the PCs have retained their lead and their vote distribution across the province is likely to be more efficient — as it was in 2018 when the party took one more seat than the Liberals despite placing second in the popular vote. This means the PCs are still in a strong position to contend for a majority government. Polls have indicated an uptick in Green support at the tail end of the campaign, while the People's Alliance has taken a big hit since 2018.

The provincial trend lines

Since 2018, the PCs have made gains at the expense of the People's Alliance and have largely held the inroads they made since the last election. The Liberals never recovered from their post-election slump and have been unable to gain any traction during the campaign. Instead, the Greens have picked up some of that departed Liberal vote and appear to be the only party with some positive momentum going into election day. Regional polling suggests the PCs are likely to pick up seats in southern, anglophone New Brunswick while the Liberals have held their advantage among francophones in the province.

Premiers’ Performance: Leader approval plummets in most provinces; Moe, Higgs suffer dramatic slides

Premiers’ Performance: Leader approval plummets in most provinces; Moe, Higgs suffer dramatic slides

Just one-in-five Albertans approve of Kenney, the lowest of any premier

October 13, 2021 – Be it fourth wave frustrations, pushback over mask and vaccine mandates, or post-COVID anxiety, Canadians have grown significantly less impressed with their provincial leaders since the summer.

Since June, all but one premier who was in power at the time has seen their respective levels of approval decline, according to new data from the non-profit Angus Reid Institute. The lone exception? Ontario’s Doug Ford, with a statistically insignificant one-point increase on job performance from Ontarians.

The most sobering assessments from their constituencies are for Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe and New Brunswick’s Blaine Higgs, both of whom have seen their approval crash nearly 20 points in the last quarter, from 61 and 55 per cent then to 43 and 38 per cent now respectively.

The news is not much better for Alberta’s Jason Kenney, currently the least approved-of premier among his own constituents at 22 per cent. Conversations about Kenney’s long-term political future have been ongoing for some time, and with this wave of data, are unlikely to abate.

Even among those enjoying majority-level good opinion, the trendline tells a story of declining satisfaction. At 56 per cent each, Quebec’s François Legault sees his approval plummet ten points – putting him at the same level as John Horgan in British Columbia (off seven points) and Newfoundland and Labrador’s Andrew Furey whose own approval is down six points from June.

INDEX*

Part One: The rearguard: Kenney, Ford, Goertzen

Part Two: The newly fallen: Higgs, Moe

Part Three: The “leaders” of the pack: Horgan, Furey, Houston, Legault

*Because its small population precludes drawing discrete samples over multiple waves, data on Prince Edward Island is not released.

 

Part One: The rearguard

Alberta:

It’s been a brutal fourth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Alberta, and after characterizing the pandemic as “over” in July, Premier Jason Kenney is bearing the brunt of what was most definitely not the “best summer ever.” Hospitals in the province – home to nearly half of Canada’s active cases – now depend on the help of Canadian military nurses, as Alberta deals with impact of ICUs full of patients with the infection. Thanksgiving weekend brought no new restrictions to the province, instead Kenney pleaded with Albertans to avoid a repeat of last year when cases started to build after the holiday.

Just one-in-five Albertans approve of Kenney, a new low point in his two-year stint as premier. Despite this, Kenney has managed to hang onto his leadership of the United Conservative Party. He fought off a near caucus revolt by moving up a leadership review to next spring, despite some members calling for it sooner. The anger is not fully quelled, however, as some constituency associations are still looking for an earlier review of Kenney’s leadership.

Ontario:

The pandemic was initially kind to Ontario Premier Doug Ford. Seven-in-ten Ontarians professed they approved of him in the weeks after the pandemic was declared. It represented an all-time popularity peak in the PC Party of Ontario leader’s reign. Now just 36 per cent say the same.

Ford and the Conservatives have been embroiled in controversy over keeping two unvaccinated MPPs – both who say they aren’t vaccinated due to a medical exemption– in caucus. Ontario also remains one of the three provinces, alongside Alberta and New Brunswick, to not sign on to the federal $10-a-day childcare deal. But Ontario government officials say the $10 billion over five years the Liberal government is offering is not enough.

Against this backdrop, Ford is already gearing up for the next election. His party recently released a number of new ads which attempt to frame controversial construction projects such as Hwy. 413 and the Bradford bypass as key issues in the lead up to the next election to be held next year.

Manitoba:

Premier Brian Pallister stepped down after suggesting the colonization of Canada was done with good intentions– the third time Pallister made inflammatory comments about Indigenous people in the province. Kelvin Goertzen serves as interim premier as the party awaits the results of a historic leadership race, which will put a woman in the premier’s seat – either former Manitoba cabinet minister Heather Stefanson or former Harper cabinet minister Shelly Glover – for the first time in Manitoba’s history.

Part Two: The newly fallen

New Brunswick:

The number of New Brunswickers who approve of Blaine Higgs has dropped precipitously since the last quarter and now sits at only 38 per cent. This drop in approval is mirrored by the soaring number of COVID-19 cases across the province. With over 1,000 active cases reported in the province, hospitals have announced that they’re postponing some non-urgent procedures and moving their internal readiness level to “red alert.” Notably, New Brunswick was the first province to pop out of the Atlantic bubble, opening itself up to the rest of Canada before its neighbours in June.

Saskatchewan:

Much like neighbouring Alberta, the fourth wave has been rough for Saskatchewan. Vaccination rates in the province are lagging and Premier Scott Moe has been criticized by the opposition NDP for not doing enough to denounce the use of ivermectin– a medication used to deworm livestock – as a COVID-19 treatment.

The situation has become dire in recent months with record numbers of people in hospital and intensive care units due to COVID-19. Saskatchewan’s top health authority, Dr. Saqib Shahab, commented in late September that the province was experiencing “a mass casualty event every day.”

The province’s recent virus struggles appear to be reflected in the premier’s approval; for the first time in his tenure, Moe does not enjoy a majority level of approval, with only two-in-five (43%) saying they approve of him.


Part Three: The pack “leaders”

British Columbia:

Premier John Horgan’s popularity spiked after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic but has fallen seven points from June and 15 points from a peak of 71 per cent in May 2020.

In between, there was a summer heat wave that killed at least 569 people and contributed to forest fires that razed significant portions of the province – including destroying the town of Lytton. Horgan’s government has been accused of not offering enough support for vulnerable populations during the heat wave, and not being responsive enough during the fire season.

Meanwhile, the healthcare system faces challenges from the plateau of the fourth wave of the pandemic, as well as staff shortages critics argue the government should have seen coming. While the trend has been negative since May of last year, Horgan still holds the approval of over half of British Columbians.

Newfoundland and Labrador:

If Newfoundlanders and Labradorians are happy with the way the government has handled the pandemic, they continue to grapple with a number of economic concerns including the highest unemployment rate in the country at 13.1 per cent and the lowest projection for economic growth at 2.4% of real GDP.

To deal with this gloomy economic outlook and the looming possibility that the province’s debt would be downgraded to junk status, the government introduced a number of tax increases and spending cuts over the summer.

In addition, the cost of electricity in the province is slated to rise by about 10 per cent, with officials projecting future increases of 2.25 per cent a year going forward. This in spite of a new deal with the federal government to bail out the overbudget and behind-schedule Muskrat Falls hydroelectricity project to the tune of $5.2 billion.

Against this backdrop, Premier Andrew Furey’s personal approval rating has slipped from 62 to 56 per cent:

Nova Scotia:

New Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston is in his honeymoon period and currently enjoys approval from a majority of Nova Scotians (55%). He currently has few detractors (26% disapproval) while one-in-five (18%) have yet to form an opinion.

Quebec:

After enjoying relatively stable favourability rates over the last year, Premier François Legault’s approval falls to 56 per cent. While this still makes him one of the most approved of premiers in the country, he now shares the top spot with B.C.’s Horgan and Newfoundland and Labrador’s Furey.

This new low in approval comes as Legault continues to court controversy in la belle province. His government recently held consultations on the divisive proposed Bill 96, a revision of the province’s language laws, and drew criticism for its decision to prorogue parliament in a move decried as “window dressing” for the 2022 election. Outside of provincial politics, Legault’s choice to endorse Conservative leader Erin O’Toole for prime minister during the federal election was also ill-received.

Despite this, Legault still commands a majority approval rating and commentators have highlighted that the Coalition Avenir Québec’s dominance in almost every demographic segment of the electorate has no precedence in the province’s history.

*Because its small population precludes drawing discrete samples over multiple waves, data on Prince Edward Island is not released.

Survey Methodology:

The Angus Reid Institute conducted an online survey from Sept. 29 to Oct. 3, 2021 among a representative randomized sample of 5,011 Canadian adults who are members of Angus Reid Forum. For comparison purposes only, a probability sample of this size would carry a margin of error of +/- 2.0 percentage points, 19 times out of 20. Discrepancies in or between totals are due to rounding. The survey was self-commissioned and paid for by ARI.

Angus Reid Group Name Change Reflects membership in Paris-Based IPSOS, fastest growing research company in the world

VANCOUVER, OCTOBER 2, 2000 - A Canadian institution is changing its name.

After 21 years as The Angus Reid Group, Canada's premier market and public opinion company will officially be known as Ipsos-Reid. This reflects the terms of a deal announced in March when Paris-based Ipsos, described by Inside Research magazine as the "fastest growing market research company in the world," acquired the Angus Reid Group.

"After 20 years of commenting on the news and current events as the Angus Reid Group, we're making some news of our own," said Dr. Angus Reid, who retains his title as Chairman and CEO. Reid is also a member of the parent company's global management board.

"We decided to become part of the Ipsos Group because of the remarkable similarities between the two companies and how we run our business. We share the same values about quality and we provide clients with a broader sociological context, not just data. Ipsos is also owned and managed by research professionals. Most important, Ipsos believes in strong local management supported by member companies around the world offering global data collection and analysis techniques."

The company also announced the appointment of Don Miller as its new chief financial officer. Miller joins Ipsos-Reid in Vancouver, where he held a similar position with advertising agency, Palmer Jarvis DDB.

Established in 1979, Ipsos-Reid is Canada's leading market research and public opinion company. It is best known for the National Angus Reid Poll, the most widely quoted source of public opinion in the country. Founded by Dr. Angus Reid, Ipsos-Reid has conducted extensive market and social research in 80 countries and in 40 languages, and serves clients around the world through more than 300-professionals and 1,000 data collection staff in ten offices. The company is a member of the Paris-based Ipsos Group, ranked among the top ten research companies in the world, with specialties in advertising, media, customer satisfaction, public opinion and market research.

  Fred Leuchter is a world hero for exposing the scumbag lie about
bugspray in the showers. If Canada hadn't declared war on the innocent
Germans then no Canadians would have died in WW2. Our government
served the Jewish Communists and Freemasons back then as they do now.
Getting this scum out of our affairs will save the lives of Canadians
in the future. Good day sir.Les

Defying New Efforts to Shut Us Down
An Update From Mark Weber

We’ve always understood that our work promoting historical awareness and unmasking the enemies of peace and understanding enrages powerful groups that smear us, and keep trying to take us down. We’re not discouraged by the hate campaign against us. We regard it as a badge of honor. They target us because we’re effective. Now we’re up against what may be the greatest threat we’ve ever faced … In spite of such difficulties, we continued throughout the past year to reach a large, global audience … Now, during this time of rampant media bias, new assaults against free speech, routine historical distortion, stifling “political correctness,” and social and racial discord, the need for a vital and effective IHR has never been greater.

Rudy who doesn't care about revisionist history.

What my friends Diane King and Jim Rizoli believe really happened with
the Zundels and their estate with emails between Ingrid and Diane and
commentary written by Michael Hoffman.
(I personally believe they were both 'full-speed ahead' with
revisionism, Third Reich advocacy and support of the German people
until Ernst was arrested in Tennessee. Then things began to change. -
Diane King)

Diane reads Michael Hoffman's email about Ingrid Rimland.

JOHN KAMINSKI'S COMMENT ABOUT JIM RIZOLI: "Some might consider what
Rizoli is doing as tilting at windmills, but others of a more
intelligent nature realize he is a 21st century patriot running at top
speed to try and prevent the descent of the United States into a
thoughtless prison camp dominated by aliens from the Third World and
the Warsaw ghetto."

DefaultTHE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY REVISIONISTS
JIM RIZOLI: Cofounder, producer/interviewer (Fred Leuchter and Assistant, Diane King) of the Series, LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY REVISIONISTS. This also entails seeking out UNSUNG HEROES and German survivors of Allied atrocities - The German Story, The German Way. Hard core historical revisionist, Jim and, his brother, Joe moved from combating the illegal immigrant hordes in their cable shows to dealing with the fundamental and pervading issue of the holocaust. Their immigrant battles led them to the plight of Ernst Zundel in Canada, being prosecuted for having reprinted *Did 6 Million Really Die*! Thus Jim and Joe's efforts and cable shows also turned toward the issue of the holocaust. That's when their troubles accelerated. In 2002 - 2003 they began producing numerous (1000s of videos) dealing with many issues and 100s of videos about the holocaust. Consequently, YouTube videos (700) under the name of Jim Rizoli were banned. His name was banned on Facebook. In 2010, their cable shows were suspended. They returned and then were permanently removed in 2014. We are back to provide a venue of/freedom of, telling the story for tried-and-true revisionists and Germans throughout North America, Europe and Australia.

DefaultGERMAN SURVIVORS OF ALLIED ATROCITES
THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY REVISIONISTS PRESENTS:

GERMAN SURVIVORS OF ALLIED ATROCITIES (Toronto, Canada, July 2016)

Jews have been remarkably successful, thanks to their significant control over much of the mass media and Hollyweird, telling their tribal stories about World War II -- often labeled 'the holocaust.' This tribal history, as all such histories are, is entirely self-centered and prone to wild exaggeration. For instance, one of the tenets of the new religion of holocaust is that what happened to the Jews is WW II was the "worst" atrocity in human history. Well, without leaving the 20th century, Stalin exterminated 8-10-million Ukrainians by fame in 1932-33 in the holodomor. Clearly, 8-10-million is greater than the alleged 6-million. In the greatest ethnic cleansing in human history, 16-million ethnic Germans were expelled from their ancestral homelands in the Sudetenland, East Prussia, Pomerania, Silesia, the lands of the Danube Swabians and others. Three million died or were murdered along the way. Even dull Canadian high school graduates know that Hitler allegedly killed 6-million Jews, although they might be clueless as to how many Canadians died in WW I (60,000). The time has come to get out from the tyranny of another tribe's history, no longer adopt it as ours and start telling out own stories. Now is the time for the German tribe to tell their stories.

WACA-TV, A Pathetic Massachusetts Cable Company Enforces Zionist History & Bans Diane King’s “Connect the Dots” Show

 

CONNECT THE DOTS
***********
After 3 years of association in good standing with WACA-TV, Ashland, MA, my programming was summarily SUSPENDED. Below, find the letter the attorney of the station sent to me and my response.  I invite you to express your outrage as you see fit. Diane King

May 20, 2019

David M. Click
DMC Law Offices
100 Waverly St, Suite 1
Ashland, MA 01721

Mr. Click:

As I am traveling and since you did NOT send this to me in EMAIL (though you declared you had), but via Federal Express (and not even to be signed for), I have had to have your letter sent to me in ‘picture’ mode through email.  Thus your appalling letter below and I will address 5 points.

1)  On April 1, 2016, I petitioned Ms. Chisolm for a time slot for my cable show, now named CONNECT THE DOTS.  Because of it’s controversial nature, she moved and maintained my show to/at midnight, AKA SAFE HARBOR.   Over my 3+ years’ association with Ms. Chisolm, she knew the shows were extremely controversial, that I featured the internationally renowned Jim and Joe Rizoli and a number of other politically INCORRECT personalities and topics, including myself, and it wasn’t an issue with her because … I WAS SLOTTED IN SAFE HARBOR.  This was to protect my right to express my opinions about politics, our wretched government, the lying WWII history we are force fed and yes, even the holocaust fraud and/or whatever else is going on in our pathetic world.

2)  During this process to attempt to gain a time slot, which took 8 months (first airing Jan 1, 2017), I requested on more than one occasion a copy of WACA-TV POLICIES AND PROCEDURES MANUAL (and still would like to see it). She said there was none.  It was obvious, she made all the decisions and didn’t need a manual to do that.  (So your citing the now existent but then NONexistent manual is disingenuous AND THUS pointless – I had neither been given nor offered the NONEXISTENT manual.)

3)  And since you mentioned the FCC, I would like to direct your attention to this paragraph on their site.   In regard to WACA-TVs censorship, they are out of order, wrong and in violation of FCC practices:

The FCC and Freedom of Speech, Mar 8, 2019 – guide:  What is the FCC’s Responsibility? The FCC is barred by law from trying to prevent the broadcast of any point of view. The Communications Act prohibits the FCC from censoring broadcast material, in most cases, and from making any regulation that would interfere with freedom of speech. Expressions of views that do not involve a “clear and present danger of serious, substantive evil” come under the protection of the Constitution, which guarantees freedom of speech and freedom of the press and prevents suppression of these expressions by the FCC. According to an FCC opinion on this subject, “the public interest is best served by permitting free expression of views.” This principle ensures that the most diverse and opposing opinions will be expressed, even though some may be highly offensive.

https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/fcc-and-freedom-speech

4)  Your reference to the rampant, out-of-control censorship mindset of social media against Jim Rizoli, for example on YouTube, as your excuse to censor me is unconscionable.   It is especially so for WACA-TV since recently, they featured a program promoting “free speech.”  Because of my experience with them, I conclude that it is only lip service, no matter how many functionally constitutionally illiterate guests they have pretending to support free speech … well, free speech for some, not me and evidently not free speech for black conservatives featured on my May RACIALLY AWARE program, the last show aired on my CONNECT THE DOTS program on WACA-TV.)   WACA-TV, cable TV and ALL internet social media constitute the MODERN PUBLIC SQUARE no matter how much you wish to disassociate yourselves as a ‘corporation’.  It is PUBLIC broadcasting and thus, are responsible to protect the rights – freedom of expression – to ALL THE PUBLIC.

5)  If there actually is a manual (unable to locate on the obscure WACA-TV website), I venture to say there would be a protocol for dealing with ‘unpleasant’ thought and expression and that would NOT include summarily suspending/censoring a member with 3 years of association/good standing.

I vehemently protest WACA (and by association) your sanctions and prohibition of the expression of my free speech with weak and pitiful legal references. Their and your behaviors support the ANTI-FREEDOM communist mindset growing and controlling New England. This is not the LAND OF THE FREE because it is NOT the home of the freedom-loving (and protecting) brave.  (Oh, and by the way, perhaps you could send your letter to my email as well this time.)

The Conservatives' inflation argument is flawed — but it still might work

The surge in prices is being driven by factors outside of Ottawa's control. But politics is politics.


Aaron Wherry· CBC News ·
Conservative member of Parliament Pierre Poilievre arrives at a Conservative caucus meeting in Ottawa on Wednesday, Nov. 17, 2021. (Sean Kilpatrick/The Canadian Press)

The return of Parliament means the return of question period — whether you like it or not. And when the appointed time arrived on Wednesday, the Official Opposition declared that its first preoccupation of the 44th Parliament would be inflation.

To start, the Conservatives accused the Liberal government of having no plan to deal with higher prices. Then they suggested Prime Minister Justin Trudeau doesn't know how much it costs to buy a package of bacon or a two-by-four. 

Given the hassle of going to a grocery store with a full security team and motorcade (and the fact that prime ministers generally aren't responsible for home repairs at official residences), it's easy for a prime minister to get tripped up on such questions. Which means the Prime Minister's Office might have to start preparing a daily brief on how much a carton of milk costs on Rideau Street.

Eventually, the Conservatives sent up their finance critic, Pierre Poilievre, to bring their arguments full circle — to claim that, in fact, Justin Trudeau is the approximate reason inflation is happening.

"The cost of government is driving up the cost of living," Poilievre said. "Almost a half a trillion dollars of inflationist Liberal deficits mean more dollars chasing fewer goods, driving higher prices."

Poilievre punctuated his point with a play on words, describing the current situation as "Justin… flation."

Trudeau seemed unimpressed by the clever wordplay. "While the Conservatives play silly partisan games," he said, "we are focused on Canadians. We know that what Canadians are facing is a serious situation."

So here is the first real question of the new Parliament: to what degree is the Liberal government to blame for the inflation Canadians are experiencing?

Global causes, local effects

Frances Donald, the global chief economist for Manulife Investment Management, was asked recently about inflation during an appearance on former Liberal strategist David Herle's podcast. She pointed to a number of factors that have nothing to do with the Trudeau government's fiscal policy: global supply chain disruptions, COVID-19 policies in China, global droughts, pent-up consumer demand.

Informed explanations from the United States also point to an array of international factors, many of which are linked to the pandemic. The New York Times'Paul Krugman has written that this bout of inflation seems more like what happened after the Second World War than the chronic inflation of the 1970s.

"I am impressed to see the high esteem in which the member for Carleton seems to hold me, that I was able to create a global inflation crisis with our initiatives to support Canadians throughout this pandemic," Trudeau said in reply to Poilievre.

In an interview with CBC's Power & Politics on Tuesday, former parliamentary budget officer Kevin Page also pointed to a number of factors driving inflation — but did suggest that government support was boosting consumer demand. He also said that inflation could be short-lived but that it should factor into the government's decisions about future stimulus spending.

While Poilievre likes to point to the amount of money the federal government dispersed during the pandemic — the big number at the bottom of the balance sheet — Conservatives might not want to get into a debate about exactly what the money was used for.

The Canadian Emergency Response Benefit accounted for $81.6 billion. The Canadian Emergency Wage Subsidy has so far provided $97.5 billion. The federal government says an additional $19.9 billion has been sent to the provinces and territories.

Maybe the Conservatives could find examples of excess to point to. But in what ways would they have spent significantly less?

Inflation wasn't an issue during the election campaign

While Liberals might be broadly vulnerable to the charge that they are too loose with federal funds, Conservatives also have to contend with the fiscal plan their party ran on in the election campaign that ended two months ago.

According to that plan, Conservatives would have run a slightly larger deficit in the current fiscal year before following a track broadly similar to the Liberal plan. And Page's Institute of Fiscal Studies and Democracy found that the Conservative plan lacked credibility.

The Liberal response is that their plan includes substantial federal spending to lower child care fees and create more child care spaces — something that would help to lower the cost of living for many families. The Liberals also don't mind pointing out that the Conservatives campaigned on cancelling that spending.

But the Liberals presumably also know that if day-to-day items continue to get more expensive, day-to-day politics will get harder for the government — because it might be blamed for rising prices and because that could make it harder to pursue policies in areas like climate change.

Inflation is a Liberal point of vulnerability

The cost of living is something immediately tangible to everyone. And if Canadians are already grumpy about the price of bacon, they might be less willing to accept any new policy that carries a cost.

So while the Liberals can point to spending on child care and affordable housing, they're not immune to questions about what they could be doing to help Canadians deal with the impacts of inflation.

The Conservatives are no doubt happy to keep talking about it. They have a stronger hand to play on inflation than they would if they were fighting the government on climate policy or Indigenous reconciliation or vaccine mandates.

But however inflated the rhetoric in question period, the biggest question is how long this period of inflation might last.

If it persists, the Liberals might have real problems — even if they're only about responding to external forces beyond their control.

If inflation fades in 2022, the Conservatives will have to find something else with which to attack the government.

But that's the blessing of question period: every day offers another opportunity to yell about something new.

Kevin Page (born 1957) is a Canadianeconomist. He was the first ever Parliamentary Budget Officer for Canada. He was appointed to the position on March 25, 2008,[1] and his term was completed on March 22, 2013. He now teaches at the University of Ottawa.[2] In 2013, Page was named as the Jean-Luc Pepin Research Chair on Canadian Government. In 2016, Page became the head of the newly created Institute of Fiscal Studies and Democracy (IFSD), a think tank with a focus on public finance and policy at the University of Ottawa. 

Early life

Page was born in Thunder Bay, Ontario, to James and Stella Page. A graduate of Fort William Collegiate Institute, he later studied at Lakehead University, went to Simon Fraser University on a golf scholarship and took his M.A. in economics from Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario.[3][4]

Career

Before being appointed to the position of Parliamentary Budget Officer, on March 25, 2008, Kevin Page had for twenty-seven years worked as a civil servant in the Canadian government with experience in central agencies and line departments including: Finance Canada; the Treasury Board Secretariat; the Privy Council Office; the Department of Fisheries and Oceans; Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada; and Human Resources and Social Development Canada.[4][5]

Parliamentary Budget Officer

During the 2006 federal election campaign, the Conservative party promoted the creation of an independent Parliamentary Budget Office.[6] The position of a PBO was created through the Federal Accountability Act of 2006 when the Conservatives won the election.[6]

According to a Winnipeg Free Press, "at the time of his appointment, Page was an economist working within the Privy Council Office. He was the senior-most economist advising Prime Minister Stephen Harper." Page did not want the job as PBO but was encouraged by Harper's staff to interview for it.[7] According to the Winnipeg Free Press' Dan Lett, in his three decades with the federal government, Page had "forged a reputation as a frank, non-nonsense advisor and analyst".[7]

Page was the first Parliamentary Budget Officer, an independent officer of the Library of Parliament who reports to the Speakers of the House of Commons and Senate.[8] The Parliamentary Budget Officer's responsibilities include providing an independent analysis of the state of the economy, the nation's finances and the government's expenditure plan, and an analysis of the expenditure estimates of any government department or agency when requested to do so by a Parliamentary committee that's reviewing those estimates. The officer is also mandated to provide an estimate of costs for any proposal that falls within the jurisdiction of the Parliament of Canada.[1]

In his first two years, the PBO under Page "prepared five economic and fiscal updates and more than 20 research reports", and "provided assessments of cost estimates of policy initiatives proposed in legislation".[6] Page "appeared before both House and Senate committees on eight occasions in three years, more than most deputy ministers, let alone ministers". During that time the PBO had a budget of only $2.8-million and a staff of 11.[6] By September 2010 his staff dropped to nine.[6]

According to an article by the TBNewsWatch, during his tenure as PBO, Page "sparred with then prime minister Stephen Harper questioning "government estimates and issuing reports that [were] at odds with official [Conservative] government forecasts".[9]

Page released his fall 2008 fiscal analysis that said Canada was "headed toward a budget deficit" rejecting then-Minister of Finance, Jim Flaherty's post-election prediction that Canada "would avoid both a recession and a deficit".[7]Page's October 9, 2008 report contradicted the official federal government's estimate of the cost of the Canadian military mission in Afghanistan. The Parliamentary Budget Office report found that the cost would be from $14-billion to $18-billion by 2011 when Canadian troops would withdraw. This represents "billions more than Ottawa has estimated, and perhaps almost twice as high."[10]

In February 2009, Page challenged the federal government's optimistic budget projections with its stimulus package that he said was too small and therefore ineffective, given the severity of the Great Recession.[11]

In 2009 Canadian Business article Page was cited as saying, "There are former parliamentarians saying I should be held in contempt of Parliament and should be fired, but I’m okay with them saying that. That’s just part of the debate."[12] He has been unapologetic about his desire to give the Parliamentary Budget Office a significant role in informing Parliament and Canadians about government finances, saying "I went to the OECD, and they said the Americans have the best budget office, bar none. Why can't we be the best in five years? If that's overstepping my mandate, then I'm earning my money."[12][Notes 1]

Page published a scathing report on June 22, 2010, examining the fiscal impact of the Harper governments' Truth in Sentencing Act, a flagship of the administration's tough-on-crime agenda. The report said that the implementation of the act would cost over a billion dollars annually.[13][14]

According to Page's March 10, 2011 report, it would cost "$30 billion to buy and maintain" 65 -35 Joint Strike Fighter planes.[15][16] The federal government estimated the cost would be $9-billion.[15]

In September 2011, Page reported that federal expenditures were generally consistent with Budget 2011 plan.[17]

In February 2012, Jim Flaherty, then-Minister of Finance in the Harper government, described Page as "unbelievable, unreliable, incredible" during a "scrum with reporters". Flaherty was responding to questions about Page's PBO report that contrary to the Harper government's claim, Canada's Old Age Security (OAS) "system was sustainable" and affordable, and there was no need to "increase the age of entitlement from 65 to 67" for OAS and Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS).[18]

By December 2012 Page had taken the federal government to court to access more "information on $5.2 billion in budget cuts."[19] In June 2011 Page "sought a legal opinion on [the] power of direct request".[20] By September 2011, eleven months into the fiscal year of Budget 2012, the cabinet ministers still had submitted no spending plans representing a "$250-billion enterprise" with "80-plus departments and agencies".[20] Even the "Clerk [of the Privy Council]" said that the PBO had exceeded its mandate.[20] Page felt that the Office had a choice but to take the government to court.[20]

By September 2010, Page had announced he would not seek a second term as parliamentary budget officer.[6] Since it was established in 2008, the PBO was in a "constant battle with the federal government over his independence, inadequate budget and lack of staff".[6]

Just months before he left office, Page in an interview with iPolitics, observed changes in the way the federal government worked. In the late 1980s, with Conservative Brian Mulroney as Prime Minister, during debates on free trade or GST, "the Finance Department would release major papers on free trade impacts, calculations, there’d be a major debate. GST, the same thing: the big transition from a manufacturing sales tax. Analytical papers, lots of transparency, debate." He noted that that no longer exists.[20]

University of Ottawa

Since 2012, Page has been a professor at the University of Ottawa.[2]

Jean-Luc Pepin Research Chair

In 2013, Page was named as the Jean-Luc Pepin Research Chair, a Chair on Canadian Government honouring Jean-Luc Pépin at the University of Ottawa.[21][22]

Institute of Fiscal Studies and Democracy

In 2016, Page became the head of the newly created Institute of Fiscal Studies and Democracy (IFSD), a think tank with a focus on public finance and policy at the University of Ottawa.[23] It was funded by the Government of Ontario.[23] JLP works with a network of international and domestic organizations, such as the World Bank, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the National Governors Association.[23]

According to a 2013 Maclean's article, Page had the support of the University of Ottawa's then-President Allan Rock, to establish an institute that would "study the math of public policy", similar to the work of the Parliamentary Budget Office.[2]

In 2013, economist Philip Cross,[Notes 2] published a "scathing opinion piece" in the Financial Post, criticizing Page's alleged "partisan and adversarial style."[2][24] In a follow-up July 29, 2013 article co-published by the MLI and the Financial Post, the week after the University of Ottawa announced the creation of a "new institute to house Page as a fiscal watchdog" staffed "with current PBO members", Cross called for shutting down the PBO. Cross wrote that the launch of this institute "allows Allan Rock, ...one-time candidate for the Liberal leadership, to realize a life-long dream of heading an opposition party."[2][25][26]

Publications

In August 2015, Page published Unaccountable: Truth and Lies on Parliament Hill, about the federal public service under the Harper administration,[27] which Page described as "virtually impotent". Page called for an "overhaul" with a "new generation of public servants."[28] According to a 2015 review in the Ottawa Citizen, Page said that "the public service [had] been politicized at senior levels and [was] no longer transparent with Canadians — it [had] stopped showing the work it does on behalf of taxpayers."[28]

The Institute of Fiscal Studies and Democracy (IFSD) is a Canadian think-tank at the nexus of public finance and state institutions. 

Fiscal ecosystems include governments, legislatures, the public administration and other key actors and institutions in our political and economic life.  This ecosystem, rooted in hundreds of years of political history and economic development, is composed of an intertwined set of incentives, public and private information and a complex and sometimes opaque set of rules and processes based on constitutional law, legislative law, conventions and struggles for power.  The actors within this system depend on one another as well as the robustness and transparency of information and processes, all underpinned by a society’s standards of accountability.  It is at this dynamic intersection of money and politics that the Institute of Fiscal Studies and Democracy at uOttawa aims to research, advise, engage and teach.

IFSD undertakes its work in all orders of government as well as internationally.

IFSD manages a number of specific initiatives to further its mandate:

iVote-jeVote.ca is a student led campaign, led by uOttawa students to foster political engagement among young Canadians. 

e-PBO.org is an online collaboration portal, that supports the Global Network of Parliamentary Budget Officers (GN-PBO) through eLearning, administrative resources, mentorship, peer knowledge exchange and the development of practice standards for public finance officials.

 The Commission


The Multistate Tax Commission is an intergovernmental state tax agency working on behalf of states and taxpayers to facilitate the equitable and efficient administration of state tax laws that apply to multistate and multinational enterprises. Created by the Multistate Tax Compact, the Commission is charged by this law with:

  • Facilitating the proper determination of State and local tax liability of multistate taxpayers, including the equitable apportionment of tax bases and settlement of apportionment disputes;
  • Promoting uniformity or compatibility in significant components of tax systems;
  • Facilitating taxpayer convenience and compliance in the filing of tax returns and in other phases of tax administration;
  • Avoiding duplicative taxation.

The commission was created in 1967 as an effort by states to protect their tax authority in the face of previous proposals to transfer the writing of key features of state tax laws from the state legislature.  For that reason, the Commission has been a voice for preserving the authority of states to determine their own tax policy within the limits of the U.S. Constitution.


The Commission's headquarters office is located at 444 N. Capitol Street NW, Suite 425, Washington, DC 20001.  The Commission's Executive Director is Gregory S. Matson.


MISSION STATEMENT


The Multistate Tax Commission is an intergovernmental state tax agency whose mission is to achieve fairness by promoting compliance and consistent tax policy and practice, and to preserve the sovereignty of state and local governments over their tax systems.

National Nexus Program

Adapted and updated from the Nexus Program Plan as Adopted by the National Nexus Advisory Committee and Multistate Tax Commission Executive Committee May 10, 1990. 

Revised August 5, 2021
National Nexus Charter 

Revised July 25, 2013
National Nexus Charter 

Introduction
The National Nexus Program is a program of the Multistate Tax Commission (MTC) created by and composed of member states. The Nexus Committee was formed under Article VI.2 of the Multistate Tax Compact and bylaw 6(b) to oversee the National Nexus Program.

Responsibilities
The National Nexus Program was created to encourage and facilitate compliance with nexus laws by those engaged in interstate commerce; cooperation among states regarding development and enforcement of nexus law; education of taxpayers and state staff about nexus; and fair and consistent enforcement of nexus law.
 
The MTC has charged the Nexus Committee with the responsibility to administer the National Nexus Program. The committee oversees the MTC National Nexus Program; considers potential nexus audits to be recommended to the Audit Committee; and provides direction to the MTC National Nexus Program on state policy regarding nexus. The committee will establish priorities and goals for approval or further direction from the Executive Committee.
 
Membership and Voting
Each state that participates in the MTC National Nexus Program is represented on the MTC Nexus Committee. A state may have multiple employees who participate in meetings; however, in any matter requiring a vote, each state will be entitled to only one vote. Committee members who participate in training or informational sessions or in any session in which confidential taxpayer information may be discussed must be authorized by their state to disclose and receive such information.
A quorum is established by the number of National Nexus Program member states that are present at any meeting. Official committee decisions are made by motion, with no need for a second. Motions may be offered by any member, with or without an invitation of the Chair. Member states may vote yes, no, or abstain. A motion passes when a majority of member states present vote in favor of the motion. For example, assume 15 member states are present and eligible to vote. A vote of 8 yes, 3 abstain, and 4 no means the motion passes. A vote of 7 yes, 4 abstain, and 4 no means the motion does not pass. No voting by proxy is allowed.
The chair has the option to limit which member states may vote on a motion when it affects some member states and not others.
Except where inconsistent with the provisions of the Compact or the MTC bylaws and Public Participation Policy, Mason’s Manual of Legislative Procedure is the parliamentary authority for all meetings of the committee.
 
Committee Activities
The committee meets at the call of the chair, generally at least three times per year, and meetings are conducted in a manner consistent with the MTC’s bylaws and Public Participation Policy.  The committee’s primary responsibilities are: 

  • Administering a multi-state voluntary disclosure program in which non-filers may, through a confidential and substantially uniform process, and single point of contact, limit back-tax and penalty liability
  • Sponsoring educational programs and presentations regarding nexus law and the availability of multi-state voluntary disclosure
  • Providing a public forum for comment on nexus law and the National Nexus Program

Governance
The Nexus Committee may elect, or the MTC’s Executive Committee may appoint, employees from National Nexus Program member states to serve as chair and vice chair(s). The chair and vice chair(s) will assist MTC staff in planning and carrying out the activities and functions of the Nexus Committee and may also appoint members to assist or serve in such other functions as necessary to carry out its responsibilities or activities.

Amendments
The committee will review this charter every year during the annual meetings of the MTC and may adopt policies consistent with this charter to guide the performance of its duties and responsibilities. The committee may, with the approval of the Executive Committee, amend this charter. See Article VI, paragraph 2(b) and (c), of the Compact, and bylaw 6(b).
 
Approved by the Executive Committee August 5, 2021.

 

Nexus Information

The National Nexus Program staff of the Multistate Tax Commission is available to provide information on the Multistate Voluntary Disclosure Program, and income/franchise tax or sales/use tax nexus issues.

O'Toole accuses Trudeau of ducking accountability by pushing virtual Parliament

As Liberals argue it's safer to allow some MPs to participate virtually, O'Toole calls PM 'hypocritical'

Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole came out swinging today against Liberal attempts to restore a virtual Parliament, calling a return to the hybrid model that allows MPs to dial into the proceedings from outside Ottawa a cynical attempt by the Liberals to duck accountability and undermine the work of the opposition.

O'Toole said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is using the COVID-19 crisis as cover to ram through a motion that would allow fewer MPs to be physically present in the Commons each day.

With most of the adult population fully vaccinated, O'Toole wants all 338 MPs on hand to speak and vote in person. The Liberals maintain it would be safer to allow some members to participate remotely while the virus is still circulating.

Liberal House Leader Mark Holland has said he's heard from MPs with compromised immune systems who are uncomfortable with the idea of being in the chamber with Conservative MPs who refuse to get vaccinated.

An unknown number of Conservative MPs have avoided getting a shot by claiming medical exemptions to the Commons rules.

O'Toole says vote on hybrid Parliament is about keeping the government 'accountable to Canadians'

5 hours ago
1:05
Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole reacted Thursday to the upcoming vote on a hybrid Parliament. 1:05

Under a hybrid model, MPs who are leery about large gatherings like this can call in from their constituencies, Holland said, and parliamentarians who catch COVID-19 can participate from isolation.

At least one Conservative MP, Richard Lehoux, has contracted COVID-19 in the last week, Holland said, adding that ending the hybrid model would disenfranchise Lehoux and any other MP who has to quarantine.

O'Toole said he's not buying the Liberal explanations.

"It's totally unacceptable for Mr. Trudeau to go to big meetings such as the one in Glasgow but not be able to meet here on the Hill," O'Toole said, referring to the COP26 climate summit in Scotland.

"This is just another example of a government out of touch with the needs of Canadians and totally focused on their own petty interests."

O'Toole said Trudeau is intent on going back to "hybrid hibernation" and wants to hide from the accountability that can only come from facing opposition MPs in the chamber. The prime minister was comfortable being in a room with "thousands of people" at COP26, he said, "but he can't be around a few dozen people here."

"Why is the prime minister being such a hypocrite? What are the Liberals afraid of? The answer is obvious. Justin Trudeau has an aversion to accountability," O'Toole said.

Holland later hit back at O'Toole, saying Parliament is "very different" from the COP26 summit or a campaign stop because participants in those events could choose whether to attend based on their own level of comfort with crowds.

"If we have no hybrid measures, there's an obligation for members to attend regardless of their health circumstances, regardless if they're immunocompromised," he said. "It is absolutely unacceptable, in a pandemic, to force them into circumstances where their health is at risk.

"We have people flying in from every corner of the country, spending a week together, co-mingling in a very, very small space and then going back to every part of the country."

Despite O'Toole's protests, the hybrid model is expected to return after a vote later tonight because NDP MPs have agreed to back the Liberal motion that will allow for virtual participation until June 2022.

Speaking in the Commons during debate on the hybrid motion, Conservative MP Michael Barrett said Liberal cabinet ministers routinely skirted accountability during the last Parliament by claiming "technical difficulties" when facing a tough question.

He said that even when some cabinet ministers were physically in Ottawa, they joined parliamentary proceedings from their offices so they could read talking points off their computer screens.

Liberals avoiding Parliament 'like the plague'— Conservative MP

"What we saw was disgraceful — ministers wouldn't even walk across the street or come downstairs to sit in an empty house to be accountable to Canadians," Barrett said. "What we've seen in this place is ministers, the prime minister, parliamentary secretaries and backbenchers on the government side absolutely avoid this place like it was the plague."

He said Liberal MPs "want to get paid to sit in their basements at home."

Barrett said Liberal ministers and MPs are also keen to avoid the hurly-burly of in-person media scrums in the halls of Parliament by returning to more stage-managed virtual press conferences moderated by bureaucrats and political staffers.

In response to Conservative suggestions that Trudeau and other ministers will be absent from the Commons frequently, Holland said Thursday they will "absolutely be attending physically in the chamber."

Conservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner, the party's natural resources critic, said she might have been sympathetic to Liberal arguments in favour of a virtual Parliament had Trudeau not prompted an election campaign during a fourth wave of the pandemic.

Pointing to Trudeau campaign events that featured hundreds of attendees, Rempel Garner said the Liberals raise COVID-19 concerns only when it's convenient for them politically.

Liberal MP Mark Gerretsen defended the hybrid model in the face of these Conservative criticisms.

"This is about flexibility for members. It's very common for workplaces to establish practices to ensure people can still participate and do their jobs," he said. "If I happen to catch COVID, why wouldn't you extend the ability for me to do that virtually? That's all this motion is talking about.

"No matter what we've brought forward, there has always been opposition from the Conservatives to anything that protects the safety of Canadians. It's absolutely shameful that they don't think it's important to extend these provisions."

In a fiery speech, O'Toole says Canada is 'drowning in debt and division' on Trudeau's watch

Speech to caucus comes as O'Toole faces an internal challenge to his leadership


John Paul Tasker· CBC News ·
Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole talks during a caucus meeting in Ottawa on Wednesday, Nov. 24, 2021. (Sean Kilpatrick/Canadian Press)

Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole painted a bleak picture of Canada's future in a fiery speech to his caucus colleagues this morning, accusing the re-elected Liberal government of fuelling inflation and regional divisions at a delicate time.

During a 12-minute address to kick off the new Parliament, O'Toole said the Opposition Conservatives "won't stay silent" while Prime Minister Justin Trudeau threatens the country's prosperity and national unity with big government spending and an anti-oil and gas agenda.

O'Toole said Trudeau and NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh have formed a "coalition" to push through left-wing legislation that he said will prove to be "disastrous" for the country.

The two parties have ruled out any formal agreement but Singh has said he will support some upcoming Liberal bills, such as one imposing a ban on conversion therapy — the discredited practice of forcibly "converting" LGBTQ people to heterosexuality — and new criminal sanctions for anti-vaccination protests at hospitals, among others.

O'Toole also accused the Liberals of ignoring blue collar workers grappling with a sudden surge in consumer prices as inflation hits levels not seen since the early 2000s. O'Toole blamed the government's COVID-related spending for this "crisis" and said Tuesday's throne speech proposed no solutions to tamp down price increases.

Experts contend inflation in Canada and much of the Western world is tied to generous COVID-19 relief programs, constrained supply chains, limited energy stockpiles and a pandemic-fuelled labour shortage that has pushed up wages.

While central bankers like Tiff Macklem, the governor of the Bank of Canada, have suggested inflation would be "transitory," economy-wide price increases are proving to be more resilient. Statistics Canada's consumer price index rose 4.7 per cent on a year-over-year basis in October — the largest gain since February 2003.

And with Canada's home prices hitting even more eye-popping levels, O'Toole accused the Liberal government of standing idle as more and more young people give up on the dream of owning a home.

"What is Justin Trudeau's response? Instead of standing up for Canadians, we have a prime minister who always puts his own needs ahead of yours," he said.

As promised in the last election, the Liberal government is expected to introduce a suite of new incentives for first-time homebuyers in the coming weeks to help address sky-high average real estate prices.

Later in question period, O'Toole said Trudeau is either ignorant about inflation or "just doesn't care" that families are struggling with higher bills.

Conservative Deputy Leader Candice Bergen pressed Trudeau to tell the Commons when he last filled a car with gas or bought a can of beans or a package of bacon, calling the prime minister "out of touch" with the realities of everyday life.

"Everybody knows what the No Name brand is, except maybe the prime minister. The only thing he might be worried about is if the price of surfboards goes up," Bergen said — a reference to the prime minister's preferred water sport.

During the first full day of the 44th Parliament, Bergen took Trudeau to task over his priorities and what the Conservative Party says are the highest inflation rates in Canada's history. 4:29

Trudeau said the Conservatives are fixated on "scoring cheap political points," adding the government is "extremely concerned about the rising cost of living."

The prime minister then touted his plan to flow billions of dollars to the provinces to bring down the cost of child care. "When will the prime minister stop just talking about day care?" Bergen said in response.

Trudeau 'shockingly silent' on threats to pipelines: O'Toole

O'Toole also took aim at the government's pledge to place a hard cap on emissions from the oil and gas sector. The measure — part of government efforts to meet its commitment to cut Canada's emissions by 40 to 45 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030 — would limit growth in Alberta's oil patch.

O'Toole said Trudeau and his team are unfairly targeting what he described as "the cleanest, most ethical, most environmentally conscious and most Indigenous-engaged energy sector in the world."

He said Trudeau has been "shockingly silent" about environmental activist David Suzuki's controversial warning that "pipelines will be blown up" if political leaders do not act on climate change.

"What is happening in this country when the prime minister won't condemn language like this?" O'Toole said. "Instead of uniting, the Liberal government has been dividing. Instead of building up, the Liberal government is intent on closing down."

Trudeau is leading an "ideological cabinet that is focused on shutting down industries and stopping investment in our country at a time when Canada is drowning in debt and division," O'Toole said, adding that Conservatives are "the only party standing up for Canadians."

O'Toole pressed the PM in question period to condemn Suzuki's comments. "Any remarks that advocate for or serve to instigate violence are unproductive and potentially dangerous," Trudeau said.

O'Toole's aggressive speech to caucus comes as he faces an internal challenge to his leadership.

Conservative Sen. Denise Batters launched a petition last week calling for an expedited leadership review after the party sustained what she called "significant losses" in the last federal election.

O'Toole kicked her out of the national caucus but her Senate colleagues have kept her in the Conservative fold in the Red Chamber.

Only a week after its launch, the petition has already gathered more than 5,000 signatures, according to a spokesperson for Batters. The petition's latest high-profile endorsement came from former Conservative Party national councillor Sam Magnus, who held a leadership role in the party for more than a decade.

Under the party's constitution, a referendum can be launched if five per cent of Conservative members sign a petition calling on the party to poll the membership on an issue. Batters has 90 days to collect enough signatures to push the party to hold a referendum on an O'Toole leadership review. The party's president, Rob Batherson, said last week the petition is "out of order."

O'Toole is also still dealing with vaccine-related caucus issues. Liberal Government House Leader Mark Holland is calling for a more stringent review of the "medical exemptions" some Tory MPs have claimed to avoid getting a COVID-19 shot.

O'Toole has refused to say how many of his caucus colleagues have been able to bypass the Commons vaccine mandate by claiming an exemption. According to the Board of Internal Economy (BOIE), the committee of MPs that essentially governs the House, an MP can be exempted if they have proof of "a medical contraindication to full vaccination."

Speaking to reporters after the Liberal caucus meeting Wednesday, Holland said he's heard from MPs with compromised immune systems "on all sides" of the Commons who are concerned about the presence of unvaccinated MPs in the tightly packed Commons chamber.

"I think Canadians expect for us to get down to the business of the country. They think we've spent long enough debating the issue of whether or not people should be vaccinated," Holland said.

On behalf of the Honourable Michelle Rempel Garner, P.C., M.P. thank
you for your email. Our office appreciates the time you took to get in
touch with the MP. Due to the high volume of email correspondence our
office receives, below is a guide on how your email will be responded

If you are a constituent of Calgary Nose Hill:

Queries regarding government programs, policies and operations take
time to research, contact appropriate departments and collate
information for dissemination to you. If you have provided your full
contact details on your query, a response will be forthcoming.

If your query is case related (i.e. immigration, CPP, EI, tax issues,
etc.), consent forms will need to be filled out before your file can
be activated. If you have not yet filled out our office's consent
form, a staff member will be in contact with you.
If you are not a constituent of Calgary Nose Hill:

If you are not a Calgary Nose Hill resident, given the high volume of
emails we receive, your email will be reviewed and filed as
INFORMATION. If the email is Critic portfolio in nature, it will be
responded to as necessary.
If you are contacting MP Rempel Garner to review your case work,
please first contact your local MP for assistance.
Invites:
If you have invited MP Rempel Garner to your event, please note that
decisions on what events to attend are completed on a bi-monthly
basis. As our office receives hundreds of invitations each week, our

Good afternoon,

I wanted to do an outreach as one of our staff members brought your
call to my attention. She said that you had emailed us the below email
and had indicated one sent in March that did not receive a response,
While we do not see your email in our file we appreciate that you
forward the March to us for review. Please note that even when we
receive an email even if it is from outside our constituency and not
within a portfolio we do always answer at the least to let you know it
was received so we apologize if you did not get that. This is my
direct email so feel free to send future items to the main or directly
here.

Thank you again for reaching out and sharing your concern with the
previous reply.

HIDDEN CAMERA: Police interrogated me about my Justin Trudeau book.
They didn’t know I videotaped it

http://www.SaveRebelNews.com​ I wrote a best-selling book about Justin
Trudeau in the last election. After the election, I received a letter
by registered mail notifying me that I was being investigated for that
book. Trudeau’s elections commissioner claimed it was an illegal
campaign activity and demanded that I submit to an interrogation. So I
went to Elections Canada’s Ottawa headquarters last week, where I was
grilled for an hour by two 30-year veterans of the RCMP — and they
refused to rule out a police raid on Rebel News headquarters!

>>>>
>>>> Plaintiff
>>>>
>>>> and
>>>>
>>>> HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN
>>>>
>>>> Defendant
>>>>
>>>> ORDER
>>>>
>>>> (Delivered orally from the Bench in Fredericton, New Brunswick, on
>>>> December 14, 2015)
>>>>
>>>> The Plaintiff seeks an appeal de novo, by way of motion pursuant to
>>>> the Federal Courts Rules (SOR/98-106), from an Order made on November
>>>> 12, 2015, in which Prothonotary Morneau struck the Statement of Claim
>>>> in its entirety.
>>>>
>>>> At the outset of the hearing, the Plaintiff brought to my attention a
>>>> letter dated September 10, 2004, which he sent to me, in my then
>>>> capacity as Past President of the New Brunswick Branch of the Canadian
>>>> Bar Association, and the then President of the Branch, Kathleen Quigg,
>>>> (now a Justice of the New Brunswick Court of Appeal).  In that letter
>>>> he stated:
>>>>
>>>> As for your past President, Mr. Bell, may I suggest that you check the
>>>> work of Frank McKenna before I sue your entire law firm including you.
>>>> You are your brother’s keeper.
>>>>
>>>> Frank McKenna is the former Premier of New Brunswick and a former
>>>> colleague of mine at the law firm of McInnes Cooper. In addition to
>>>> expressing an intention to sue me, the Plaintiff refers to a number of
>>>> people in his Motion Record who he appears to contend may be witnesses
>>>> or potential parties to be added. Those individuals who are known to
>>>> me personally, include, but are not limited to the former Prime
>>>> Minister of Canada, The Right Honourable Stephen Harper; former
>>>> Attorney General of Canada and now a Justice of the Manitoba Court of
>>>> Queen’s Bench, Vic Toews; former member of Parliament Rob Moore;
>>>> former Director of Policing Services, the late Grant Garneau; former
>>>> Chief of the Fredericton Police Force, Barry McKnight; former Staff
>>>> Sergeant Danny Copp; my former colleagues on the New Brunswick Court
>>>> of Appeal, Justices Bradley V. Green and Kathleen Quigg, and, retired
>>>> Assistant Commissioner Wayne Lang of the Royal Canadian Mounted
>>>> Police.
>>>>
>>>> In the circumstances, given the threat in 2004 to sue me in my
>>>> personal capacity and my past and present relationship with many
>>>> potential witnesses and/or potential parties to the litigation, I am
>>>> of the view there would be a reasonable apprehension of bias should I
>>>> hear this motion. See Justice de Grandpré’s dissenting judgment in
>>>> Committee for Justice and Liberty et al v National Energy Board et al,
>>>> [1978] 1 SCR 369 at p 394 for the applicable test regarding
>>>> allegations of bias. In the circumstances, although neither party has
>>>> requested I recuse myself, I consider it appropriate that I do so.
>>>>
>>>>
>>>> AS A RESULT OF MY RECUSAL, THIS COURT ORDERS that the Administrator of
>>>> the Court schedule another date for the hearing of the motion.  There
>>>> is no order as to costs.

Gen. Wayne Eyre named permanent chief of defence staff

Eyre replaces Art McDonald, who stepped aside following claim of sexual misconduct


Murray Brewster· CBC News ·

Gen. Wayne Eyre can drop the word "acting" from his title. Today, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appointed him chief of the defence staff — the top position in Canada's military — on a permanent basis.

Eyre, the former commander of the Canadian Army and an Afghanistan combat veteran, has been filling the defence chief's role on an acting basis since Admiral Art McDonald voluntarily stepped aside in February after being informed he was under investigation for sexual misconduct.

Last summer, military police concluded there was insufficient evidence to charge McDonald with any criminal or code of service discipline offence in relation to an alleged incident more than a decade ago aboard HMCS Montreal. 

In a media statement, Trudeau said he has full confidence in Eyre and noted that the last several months have been a trial by fire.

"Throughout his career, General Eyre has demonstrated dedicated service to his country and to Canadians," the prime minister said. 

"Over the past year, his lived experience has played a vital role in providing strong leadership and helping Canadians across the country as they faced important and increasingly difficult challenges."

Trudeau said he's certain Eyre "will continue working hard to build and oversee cultural change in the Canadian Armed Forces, and to gain trust and confidence of survivors of sexual misconduct."

Newly appointed Defence Minister Anita Anand said she looks forward to working with Eyre as they implement reforms to address sexual misconduct in the military.

Defence Minister Anita Anand on why Admiral Art McDonald is out as chief of defence staff

2 hours ago

"It's necessary to execute your duties in this role in a way that is over and above simply acting within the bounds of the law," said Defence Minister Anita Anand on why Admiral Art McDonald was replaced Thursday as chief of the defence staff. 7:49

Eyre's permanent appointment is not a surprise. He was promoted to full general earlier this year — a signal that he was being considered as a permanent replacement for McDonald.

Since stepping back from the CDS position, McDonald has conducted a high-profile public campaign to win his job back.

McDonald spoke with Eyre and indicated he is putting in his notice to retire, according to his lawyer, retired lieutenant colonel Rory Fowler.

Fowler also suggested the press release on his termination was issued before McDonald himself was formally notified.

Going into question period in the House of Commons today, Anand refused to say what will happen to McDonald or whether the government is anticipating a court challenge of the decision to name Eyre the permanent CDS.

As a governor-in-council appointment, the defence chief "serves at the pleasure of the prime minister," she said.

The Order-in-Council letter outlining McDonald's termination said he "no longer has the confidence" of the government. The dismissal comes after the admiral was asked to put forward a written submission to the Privy Council Office (PCO) outlining why he should remain in the job.

Anand would not elaborate on the government's reasons for letting McDonald go. "He is no longer chief of the defence staff," she responded tersely.

As part of his public campaign to win back his job, McDonald wrote an extraordinary appeal to his fellow flag officers and members of the Canadian Armed Forces arguing that he should be restored as CDS. That drew an extraordinary public rebuke from Harjit Sajjan, the defence minister at time, and from Eyre himself.

The letter was cited as a factor in the PCO letter revoking his position.

Anand called the letter "shocking."

>>>
>>> BETWEEN:
>>>
>>> DAVID RAYMOND AMOS
>>>
>>> Plaintiff
>>>
>>> and
>>>
>>> HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN
>>>
>>> Defendant
>>>
>>> ORDER
>>>
>>> (Delivered orally from the Bench in Fredericton, New Brunswick, on
>>> December 14, 2015)
>>>
>>> The Plaintiff seeks an appeal de novo, by way of motion pursuant to
>>> the Federal Courts Rules (SOR/98-106), from an Order made on November
>>> 12, 2015, in which Prothonotary Morneau struck the Statement of Claim
>>> in its entirety.
>>>
>>> At the outset of the hearing, the Plaintiff brought to my attention a
>>> letter dated September 10, 2004, which he sent to me, in my then
>>> capacity as Past President of the New Brunswick Branch of the Canadian
>>> Bar Association, and the then President of the Branch, Kathleen Quigg,
>>> (now a Justice of the New Brunswick Court of Appeal).  In that letter
>>> he stated:
>>>
>>> As for your past President, Mr. Bell, may I suggest that you check the
>>> work of Frank McKenna before I sue your entire law firm including you.
>>> You are your brother’s keeper.
>>>
>>> Frank McKenna is the former Premier of New Brunswick and a former
>>> colleague of mine at the law firm of McInnes Cooper. In addition to
>>> expressing an intention to sue me, the Plaintiff refers to a number of
>>> people in his Motion Record who he appears to contend may be witnesses
>>> or potential parties to be added. Those individuals who are known to
>>> me personally, include, but are not limited to the former Prime
>>> Minister of Canada, The Right Honourable Stephen Harper; former
>>> Attorney General of Canada and now a Justice of the Manitoba Court of
>>> Queen’s Bench, Vic Toews; former member of Parliament Rob Moore;
>>> former Director of Policing Services, the late Grant Garneau; former
>>> Chief of the Fredericton Police Force, Barry McKnight; former Staff
>>> Sergeant Danny Copp; my former colleagues on the New Brunswick Court
>>> of Appeal, Justices Bradley V. Green and Kathleen Quigg, and, retired
>>> Assistant Commissioner Wayne Lang of the Royal Canadian Mounted
>>> Police.
>>>
>>> In the circumstances, given the threat in 2004 to sue me in my
>>> personal capacity and my past and present relationship with many
>>> potential witnesses and/or potential parties to the litigation, I am
>>> of the view there would be a reasonable apprehension of bias should I
>>> hear this motion. See Justice de Grandpré’s dissenting judgment in
>>> Committee for Justice and Liberty et al v National Energy Board et al,
>>> [1978] 1 SCR 369 at p 394 for the applicable test regarding
>>> allegations of bias. In the circumstances, although neither party has
>>> requested I recuse myself, I consider it appropriate that I do so.
>>>
>>>
>>> AS A RESULT OF MY RECUSAL, THIS COURT ORDERS that the Administrator of
>>> the Court schedule another date for the hearing of the motion.  There
>>> is no order as to costs.

New Brunswick mills facing increase in U.S. duties on softwood lumber

Biden administration increasing duties on Canadian lumber after a one-year reprieve

 
Jacques Poitras· CBC News ·

New Brunswick softwood lumber producers are being hit once again with higher duties on their exports to the United States.

After a year-long reprieve that gave mills a break thanks to lower duties, the U.S. Commerce Department is raising them again. 

Wood from New Brunswick producers, and most producers in the rest of Canada, will now be charged a duty of 11.59 per cent.

That's an increase from the 8.9 per cent that was in effect since last year for most New Brunswick mills and the 4.23 per cent that applied to wood from J.D. Irving Ltd.

"We're very disappointed with the U.S. government's decision to increase these unfair and unwarranted duties against New Brunswick's exports of softwood lumber," Premier Blaine Higgs said in a written statement.

"It's important to remember that in September 2020, the World Trade Organization decision on this case was overwhelmingly favourable to Canada and New Brunswick."

The New Brunswick Lumber Producers, an industry group representing companies affected by the U.S. trade action, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Higgs said his government would continue to work with Ottawa to fight the tariffs "through all the legal avenues available."

But given how long that can take, "it's time for the Governments of Canada and the U.S. to return to the bargaining table to resolve this dispute and avoid further protracted litigation," Higgs said.

American competitors have complained for years that Canadian wood is so subsidized that sales in the U.S. amount to unfair competition. The U.S. has repeatedly applied duties to artificially raise the price of the Canadian lumber for buyers south of the border.

New Brunswick and the rest of Atlantic Canada were exempt from that for decades. But in 2017 the U.S. ended the exemption for New Brunswick.

A U.S. lumber group argued that the province's 2014 forestry plan was leading to more and more wood exports from publicly owned Crown land that it considered subsidized.

It also cited a 2008 report by New Brunswick's auditor general that the provincial wood market was "not truly an open market."

It said the provincial system for surveying private wood sales to set the rate for government-owned Crown land relied on incomplete and sample sizes in some parts of the province, making it difficult to assess whether the Crown rate reflected market conditions.

Last year Auditor General Kim Adair-MacPherson said the market survey system had improved with "significant improvements in the process and the methodology."

The previous provincial Liberal government of Brian Gallant had hired a Washington-based lobbyist with Republican connections to try to get changes to the duties, but to no avail.

And J.D. Irving volunteered to submit itself to a separate investigation that allowed it to win a lower duty rate than other provincial producers. 

Under U.S. law, duties are reviewed every year, and last year's review led to lower rates. But the 2021 review has raised them again.

     A 2020 decision by the World Trade Organization came down on the side of Canadian lumber producers, but the U.S. maintains the decision was unfair. (The Canadian Press)

This year's review focused on two non-New Brunswick companies, Canfor Corp. and West Fraser Mills Ltd. It set new rates for both companies and set a figure between those two rates to all other Canadian companies.

That applies to J.D. Irving Ltd., Twin Rivers Paper Co. Inc. and many smaller New Brunswick mills.

The September, 2020 WTO ruling said the U.S. was wrong to impose duties in 2017 because the Commerce Department made mistakes calculating benchmark Canadian timber prices used to assess if mills were paying appropriate provincial stumpage fees. 

At the time the Trump administration attacked the ruling as unfair and said it would invoke a WTO appeal process, but that couldn't go forward because Trump was refusing to make U.S. appointments to the appeal body.

So far the Biden administration has not made any appointments either, extending the logjam.

U.S. hikes duty on Canadian softwood lumber to 17.9% — twice the old rate

Ongoing trade dispute goes back decades


Pete Evans· CBC News ·
Canada exports about $1.2 billion worth of softwood lumber to the U.S. every year. The U.S. is hiking the amount of duty to as much as double the previous rate. (Jeff McIntosh/The Canadian Press)
 

Latest

  • New tariff will add about $99 to the cost of a thousand board-feet of wood in U.S.

Officials from various Canadian governments and the lumber industry are expressing disappointment that the U.S. has decided to go ahead with a plan to double the amount of duty it imposes on softwood lumber that comes from Canada.

On Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Commerce said it will proceed to impose duties of 17.9 per cent, on average on softwood lumber imported from Canada. That's twice the previous 8.99 per cent rate.

In May, the U.S. government said it planned to hike the rate to 18.32 per cent, but after further analysis over the summer the agency decided to ratchet down that plan, but still double the levy.

The U.S. says Canadian lumber producers dump their product into the U.S. at a lower price than American lumber companies can because they are subsidized. So the U.S. puts a tariff on all softwood lumber from Canada to raise its price at the retail level, which encourages consumers to buy American wood.

Canada has long rejected those allegations, and various trade tribunals on the matter have found in Canada's favour.

"At every step of the way, rulings have found Canada to be a fair trading partner," International Trade Minister Mary Ng said in a news release, in which she expressed how "disappointed" Ottawa was in the decision.

"The United States has long relied on Canadian lumber products to meet its domestic needs for high-quality building materials," Ng said.

"These unjustified duties harm Canadian communities, businesses, and workers. They are also a tax on U.S. consumers, raising the costs of housing, renovations, and rentals at a time when housing affordability is already a significant concern for many."

Not all lumber will face the same duty

Canada exports about $8 billion worth of softwood lumber to the world every year, according to official government data. The U.S. is the largest single buyer of it.

Ng says Canada will continue to defend the industry from the unfair tariffs, including through litigation under North American trade deal CUSMA, its predecessor NAFTA, and the World Trade Organization. As recently as the summer of 2020, the WTO ruled in Canada's favour on the matter.

Not all Canadian lumber will face the same duty, as the U.S. alleges that different companies are subsidized to different levels. The final rates are as follows:

  • Canfor Corp., 19.54 per cent. 
  • West Fraser Timber Co., 11.12 per cent.
  • Resolute Forest Products Inc., 29.66 per cent.
  • JD Irving, 15 per cent.

All other Canadian lumber producers will see the baseline 17.9 per cent rate.

Each of those rates are down slightly from what was proposed in May, but well up from the level they were at before that.

Provincial reactions

The British Columbia Lumber Trade Council says the tariffs make no sense because the U.S. does not produce enough softwood to meet its own demand.

Official data shows that the U.S. only produces enough softwood lumber to satisfy about 70 per cent of its own need. Virtually all the rest comes from Canada.

"Our strong hope is that the U.S. industry will end this decades-long litigation and instead work with us to meet demand for the low-carbon wood products the world wants, including American families," stated council president Susan Yurkovich.

"Until then, we will continue to vigorously defend our industry against these meritless allegations."

Alberta Agriculture, Forestry and Rural Economic Development Minister Nate Horner said the higher tariffs are completely unacceptable.

"Any amount of duties unfairly targets our softwood lumber exports and these decreasing and then increasing rates create uncertainty on both sides of the border," he said in a news release.

New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs also expressed his disappointment in the decision. "We're very disappointed with the U.S. government's decision to increase these unfair and unwarranted duties against New Brunswick's exports of softwood lumber,"he said.

U.S. lumber lobby group welcomes news

The U.S. Lumber Coalition, the lobby group that represents the industry in the country, welcomed the tariffs, saying in a press release that it "remains open to a new softwood lumber trade agreement if and when Canada can demonstrate that it is serious about negotiations for an agreement that offsets the injury caused by Canadian unfair trade to U.S. producers, workers, and timberland holders. 

Tariffs increase the costs of lumber for the end user, because importers tend to pass them on at the retail level when consumers buy wood at the lumber yard. (Robert Jones/CBC News)

"Until then, the U.S. Lumber Coalition fully supports the continued strong enforcement of the U.S. trade laws to address Canada's unfair softwood lumber trade practices."

The group says while it is true that the U.S. has historically not produced enough softwood lumber to meet its own demand, that is no longer the case, as U.S. producers have boosted their capacity in recent years and now produce about 3.5 billion board-feet of softwood lumber every year.

"These increases have more than offset any decline in unfairly traded Canadian imports and are enough lumber to build about 1.2 million single-family American homes," the group says.

$99 for every thousand feet of wood

At current lumber prices, CIBC analyst Hamir Patel calculates that for every thousand feet of softwood lumber Canada exports to the U.S., there will now be an extra $99 in tariffs tacked on. That's up from $54 currently.

While the dispute has gone on for decades, Patel ultimately thinks the two sides will eventually work out some sort of deal that will see most of that tariff money returned.

"But we do not believe any deal is likely to materialize until late 2022 at the earliest (and more likely 2023 given U.S. midterm elections next year)," Patel wrote in a note to clients.

Opposition reacts

While the dispute has festered during numerous governments for more than two decades, the Federal Conservatives placed the blame squarely at the feet of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for allowing the trade relationship with the U.S. to sour.

"It's clear Canada's relationship with the United States has declined under Mr. Trudeau, hurting cross-border businesses and threatening Canadian jobs," Conservative MPs Michael Chong and Randy Hoback said in a statement.

"Trudeau's approach to these threats has been to play down their seriousness and to sound hopeful [but] downplaying these threats and being hopeful is not a plan to protect Canadian jobs."

International trade lawyer Lawrence Herman agrees that the lumber dispute is going to continue to fester until governments in Ottawa and Washington, D.C., find the political will to strike a long term deal to fix it once and for all.

"Let's get together, settle this thing once and for all," he said in an interview. "It's too important for Canada and the United States to be engaged in these kinds of trade disputes."

N.B. cabinet ministers stand by Trudeau, backbenchers not completely sold

Trudeau accused of political interference, pressuring former attorney general
Hadeel Ibrahim · CBC News · Posted: Mar 07, 2019 7:00 AM AT


Former Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada Jody
Wilson-Raybould accused the Prime Minister's Office of pressuring her
to get a deferred prosecution agreement for SNC-Lavalin (Justin
Tang/Canadian Press )

While both federal cabinet ministers from New Brunswick say they have
"full confidence" in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, two Liberal MPs in
the province are expressing some reservations in the wake of the
SNC-Lavalin controversy.

New Brunswick Southwest MP Karen Ludwig said Wednesday she wants to
see the ethics commissioner's report before making up her mind about
how Trudeau handled things — especially because she's not in cabinet
and wasn't privy to those discussions.

Ludwig said she stands by the work of the Liberal government but is
still absorbing information about how it dealt with SNC-Lavalin.

"I think it's really important to listen to the witnesses that are
still coming before the justice committee but also the work of the
ethics commissioner," she said in an interview with CBC's Harry
Forestell.

on local, riding-based issues while the ethics commissioner
investigates the SNC-Lavalin affair. (CBC)

"I think that's a significant position that hardly anyone is actually
talking about. The ethics commissioner is a non-partisan role ...
Let's hear what the ethics commissioner has to say."

Saint-John Rothesay MP Wayne Long has twice called for an independent
investigation, most recently after former Jane Philpott's resignation
as chair of the Treasury Board.

2 resignations

Philpott's resignation came after former justice minister and attorney
general Jody Wilson-Raybould accused the Prime Minister's Office of
political interference related to a criminal corruption investigation
against Quebec-based engineering giant SNC-Lavalin. Wilson-Raybould
also resigned from cabinet.

Wilson-Raybould has testified to the House of Commons justice
committee that 11 people working for the prime minister met with her
over the course of several months, "hounding" her in an effort to get
a deferred prosecution agreement for the company. She said on multiple
occasions, Quebec jobs and the election were brought up.

investigation into the SNC-Lavalin affair. (CBC)

Philpott resigned Monday, saying she had lost confidence in the
Trudeau government. She and Wilson-Raybould are still in the Liberal
caucus.

Prior to Wilson-Raybould's testimony, Trudeau's former top adviser
Gerald Butts resigned.

He testified before the justice committee Wednesday, challenging
Wilson-Raybould's version of events. The committee also heard from
clerk of the privy council Michael Wernick, who denied making "veiled
threats," as well as deputy justice minister Nathalie Drouin.
An ethics investigation

Nicole O'Byrne, associate professor of law at the University of New
Brunswick, said an ethics commissioner's report will likely not touch
the most contentious parts of the SNC-Lavalin affair — specifically
the possible allegations of obstruction of justice.

"To be blunt, we're well past the scope of what the ethics
commissioner can inquire into," O'Byrne said.

A public inquiry

O'Byrne said Butts's testimony wasn't provided under oath, so the
committee can't uncover the truth to the extent a public inquiry can.

"[A public inquiry] can have quite a large scope and you can have the
kind of evidence you need to get at the truth here," she said.

Long broke ranks earlier and voted with the opposition for a motion to
launched a public inquiry into the allegations. The motion was
defeated.

full confidence in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. (Matt Smith/Canadian
Press)

Before Wilson-Raybould's testimony, Long told reporters he'd met with
the party whip.

"The government's never happy when MPs stand different from the flow
of government, but I'm always going to stand up and do what I think is
right," he said.

He said he's a "party guy."

"But I'm also going to be an MP that stands up when I think I need to."

Cabinet confidence

Both New Brunswick ministers are standing by Trudeau. Dominic LeBlanc,
the minister of intergovernmental and northern affairs, said he has
"full confidence in the prime minister."

Health Minister Ginette Petitpas Taylor tweeted "I have full
confidence in Justin Trudeau and our government."

Minister. (CBC News)

LeBlanc, the MP for Beausejour, and Petitpas Taylor, the MP for
Moncton-Riverview-Dieppe, joined the 31 other cabinet ministers in
assuring the public that they stand behind Trudeau.

Backbencher influence

J.P. Lewis, associate professor of political science at the University
of New Brunswick Saint John, said it could be difficult to say how
findings from an ethics commissioner's report would affect the
politics

He said cabinet members are the government, so it's important for them
to align on supporting Trudeau.

Backbenchers have more freedom, he said, but also possibly less influence.

only after cabinet shuffle

"If backbenchers en masse are getting upset with a leader with a
position that the government is taking or the party is taking it's
easy for there to be pressure," he said, pointing to when Tom Mulcair
was pushed out of the NDP.

"We don't have any evidence that it's anywhere close to this going on
with this current government," he said. "Theoretically, I mean that
can happen from within but it doesn't appear that we're close to
that."

John MacKenzie nominated as Liberal candidate in Portland-Simonds
June 6, 2018

SAINT JOHN – The New Brunswick Liberal Association held a nomination
convention last Wednesday night for the next provincial election on
September 24, 2018. John MacKenzie was nominated as the Liberal
candidate for Portland-Simonds in an uncontested meeting.

Premier Brian Gallant, who is also Leader of the New Brunswick Liberal
Party, was present at the nomination and commended MacKenzie on his
community engagement in the riding. “As a councillor and former
District Education Council member, John has shown great leadership and
a strong focus on growing the economy and improving education for the
people of Saint John. This experience will serve him well as the next
MLA for Portland-Simonds.” said Gallant.

Elected to Saint John Common Council in 2012 and re-elected in 2016,
John is a key member of the City’s Growth Committee. He was
instrumental in negotiating the three-year funding agreement of over
$150,000 to support the city’s five priority neighbourhoods. He also
led the charge to evaluate the location of City Hall, resulting in
savings of more than $700,000 annually. John strongly supported
critical community infrastructure projects such as the Emera New
Brunswick Field at Shamrock Park and the revitalization of the C.E.
(Nick) Nicolle Community Centre.

An active community member, John has served on the boards of Saint
John Energy, the Saint John Police Commission, P.R.O Kids and Living
SJ. Education has always been a particular interest of John’s as he
was Chair of the District Education Council from 2004 to 2010 and is a
former member of Princess Elizabeth’s Parent School Support Committee.
He also chaired the District Parent Advisory Council from 1998 to 2004
and was the provincial Board of Education Representative for Saint
John from 2002 to 2004.

John and his wife Catherine have lived in Saint John their entire
lives, where they have raised their three children Patricia, Michael,
and Christine. Before joining Council, John spent his career of over
35 years with Canada Post.

John MacKenzie said he was honoured to receive the uncontested
endorsement from the members of Portland-Simonds. “During my term as
councillor, I have championed important causes such as eliminating
child poverty, seeking economic growth and prudent public spending,”
said MacKenzie. “I’ve seen the results that the Gallant government has
delivered to Saint John and all of New Brunswick, and I feel the time
is right to bring my experience and passion for growing Saint John to
the provincial level.”

The list of official contestants for nominations are available on the
New Brunswick Liberal Party’s website at nbliberal.ca.

Cross-border booze case would 'redesign' federalism, N.B. prosecutors argue
Arguments filed with Supreme Court of Canada in appeal of acquittal of
Gerard Comeau
By Bobbi-Jean MacKinnon, CBC News Posted: Aug 21, 2017 5:27 PM AT Last
Updated: Aug 21, 2017 8:54 PM AT

New Brunswick law allows only 12 pints of beer or one bottle of wine
or liquor to be brought into the province from another province.

New Brunswick law allows only 12 pints of beer or one bottle of wine
or liquor to be brought into the province from another province.
(Chris Young/The Canadian Press)

    New Brunswick asks Supreme Court to rule on cross-border liquor limits
    Cross-border beer decision stands, for now
    Border beer battle: Appeal court reserves decision on if it will hear case
    Feds expect provinces to ratify free trade deal next year, with
booze in the mix
    Comeau beer decision appeal leaves alcohol out of trade talks
    'After 3 years, I'm thirsty': N.B. man says after court nixes
border beer limits

Upholding the acquittal of a Tracadie, N.B., man who exceeded
cross-border alcohol limits would "redesign Canadian federalism,"
provincial prosecutors say.

The case of Gerard Comeau "began as a simple ticket offence,"
prosecutors say in arguments submitted to the Supreme Court of Canada
as part of their appeal of the 2016 lower court decision. But "a
simple case it is not."

"This 'simple case' and the trial decision that resulted raise the
issue of competing constitutional provisions and propose an end to
Canadian federalism as it was originally conceived, has politically
evolved and is judicially confirmed," the 45-page document says.

    'A huge economic opportunity': trade barriers at stake in border booze case
    Supreme Court agrees to hear appeal of cross-border booze case

​Comeau, a retired steelworker, was charged in 2012 and fined $292.50
after RCMP stopped him driving home from Quebec with 14 cases of beer
and three bottles of liquor in his vehicle.

New Brunswick's Liquor Control Act sets a personal importation limit
of 12 pints of beer or one bottle of liquor or wine.

But Campbellton provincial court Judge Ronald LeBlanc ruled last year
that the liquor restriction was unconstitutional because Section 121
of the 1867 Constitution Act says products from any province "shall …
be admitted free into each of the other provinces."
nb-gerard-comeau-smile

Gerard Comeau was all smiles in April 2016 after a judge dismissed a
charge against him of bringing too much alcohol into New Brunswick
from Quebec, saying the legislation violated free trade provisions in
the Constitution. (Bridget Yard)

Prosecutors say LeBlanc's decision was "flawed." They want the
country's highest court to rule New Brunswick's restrictions on
bringing alcohol into the province do not violate the act's free-trade
provisions.

The relationship between Section 121 and other constitutional
provisions, along with its function within the Canadian Constitution,
has been "the subject of political debate and discussion for decades,"
the prosecutors say.

But this is the first time the Supreme Court is being asked directly
to determine the relationship of Section 121, on the free movement of
goods between provinces, to Section 92 of the Constitution Act, on
provincial powers over property and civil rights, they say.
11 requests to intervene

The federal government, the attorneys general of Ontario, Quebec,
Newfoundland and Labrador, Alberta, Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan, British
Columbia, Prince Edward Island, and Northwest Territories, and the
minister of justice of Nunavut have all asked to be interveners in the
case.

They have until Oct. 13 to file their written arguments, not exceeding
10 pages each. Comeau's lawyers must file a reply not exceeding 10
pages by Oct. 27.

The appeal is tentatively scheduled to be heard on Dec. 6 and Dec. 7.

Section 121 "has not to this date been considered as a standalone
'free trade' provision," New Brunswick prosecutors argue.

They point to a 1921 decision by the Supreme Court of Canada in Gold
Seal Ltd. vs. Dominion Express Co., which held the constitutional
provision only meant provinces couldn't impose tariffs on goods at
their border.

"The provinces are not subordinate to 'a central authority' nor are
they melded together," the prosecutors state in their factum, dated
Aug. 18.

Provinces "are to retain their differences and subject their interests
to a central government '…entrusted with exclusive authority only in
affairs in which they had a common interest.'"

"The historical context of the Canadian federation, the foundational
principles of Canadian constitutionalism, and a proper textual
understanding of the written Constitution, all lead to the inexorable
conclusion that the decision of the trial judge is incorrect."
N.B. ordered to cover Comeau's costs

Lawyer Ian Blue, who acted as part of Comeau's defence team on behalf
of the Canadian Constitution Foundation, has said the case "could have
more profound effects on interprovincial trade barriers than President
Trump could."

"That's how important this case is," Blue has said.

The Supreme Court's decision could have implications for "literally
hundreds" of interprovincial trade barriers across the country,
according to the executive director of the Canadian Constitution
Foundation, which provided legal assistance to Comeau.

"Anything where provinces erect, deliberately erect, systems to keep
competitive goods out from other provinces — this would, if not
eliminate those, at least shake the foundations on which they are
built," said Howard Anglin.

The Supreme Court of Canada agreed in May to hear the appeal and
ordered that Comeau's legal costs in fighting the case be paid for by
the New Brunswick government.

The public prosecution service had initially asked the New Brunswick
Court of Appeal to review LeBlanc's decision, but the province's
highest court declined to hear the case. As is customary, the court
did not provide any reasons.

The prosecution service, which has described itself as being
independent from government, then sought leave to appeal to Canada's
top court.

The provincial government has declined to comment because the case is
before the courts.

I had to leave a message because nobody in your office was available
to speak to me? I tried to explain to the person answering the phone
for you who wanted to know why I was calling but she got too busy too.

Anyway here is why I called and tried to make friends with you.
However David Edney and you other associates should have informed you
of my concerns a long time ago. Correct?

I must ask the obvious question do you snobby Yankee lawyers have any
idea who wrote the Declaration of Human Rights for the UN and where he
hailed from? I will give you a clue the same Riding that I ran in in 2004
after your former bosses tried to send me to Cuba after I had beaten fair
and square the US District Mikey Sullivan another US Attorney who acted
as the boss of the ATF until your lates boss Mr Obama got sworn in

B. Todd Jones
President Barack Obama formally nominated B. Todd Jones for the
position of United States Attorney for the District of Minnesota on
June 4, 2009, and he was confirmed by the U.S. Senate on August 7,
2009. United States Attorneys serve as the nation's principal
litigators under the direction of the Attorney General, and each is
the chief federal law enforcement officer of the United States within
his or her particular jurisdiction. In September of 2011, Attorney
General Eric Holder appointed Jones to serve as the Acting Director
for the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Prior to becoming U.S. Attorney, Jones was a partner with a major
national law firm in Minneapolis, where his practice focused on
complex business litigation. He has represented a number of
organizations and individuals in both criminal and civil regulatory
matters. Jones is a fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers.
He also has served as special counsel to various boards of directors
of public and privately held companies. In that capacity, he has led
internal investigations and provided guidance on compliance and
governance issues.

This is the second time Jones has served as United States Attorney.
President Clinton appointed him to the position in 1998 and he served
in that capacity until January 2001. Jones also has served as an
Assistant U.S. Attorney in the District of Minnesota. During his
initial tenure as a federal prosecutor, Jones conducted grand jury
investigations and was the lead trial lawyer in a number of federal
prosecutions involving drug trafficking, financial fraud, firearms,
and violent crime.

Jones received his Juris Doctor from the University of Minnesota Law
School in 1983. Following admission to the Minnesota bar, he went on
active duty in the United States Marine Corps, where he served as both
a trial defense counsel and prosecutor in a number of courts martial
proceedings. In 1989, he and his family returned to Minnesota, where
he developed a civil litigation practice encompassing a wide variety
of legal matters, ranging from products liability defense and
insurance coverage disputes to environmental and labor and employment
controversies in both a private and public sector setting.

83.  The Plaintiff states that now that Canada is involved in more war
in Iraq again it did not serve Canadian interests and reputation to
allow Barry Winters to publish the following words three times over
five years after he began his bragging:

January 13, 2015
This Is Just AS Relevant Now As When I wrote It During The Debate

December 8, 2014
Why Canada Stood Tall!

Friday, October 3, 2014
Little David Amos’ “True History Of War” Canadian Airstrikes And
Stupid Justin Trudeau

Canada’s and Canadians free ride is over. Canada can no longer hide
behind Amerka’s and NATO’s skirts.

When I was still in Canadian Forces then Prime Minister Jean Chretien
actually committed the Canadian Army to deploy in the second campaign
in Iraq, the Coalition of the Willing. This was against or contrary to
the wisdom or advice of those of us Canadian officers that were
involved in the initial planning phases of that operation. There were
significant concern in our planning cell, and NDHQ about of the dearth
of concern for operational guidance, direction, and forces for
operations after the initial occupation of Iraq. At the “last minute”
Prime Minister Chretien and the Liberal government changed its mind.
The Canadian government told our amerkan cousins that we would not
deploy combat troops for the Iraq campaign, but would deploy a
Canadian Battle Group to Afghanistan, enabling our amerkan cousins to
redeploy troops from there to Iraq. The PMO’s thinking that it was
less costly to deploy Canadian Forces to Afghanistan than Iraq. But
alas no one seems to remind the Liberals of Prime Minister Chretien’s
then grossly incorrect assumption. Notwithstanding Jean Chretien’s
incompetence and stupidity, the Canadian Army was heroic,
professional, punched well above it’s weight, and the PPCLI Battle
Group, is credited with “saving Afghanistan” during the Panjway
campaign of 2006.

What Justin Trudeau and the Liberals don’t tell you now, is that then
Liberal Prime Minister Jean Chretien committed, and deployed the
Canadian army to Canada’s longest “war” without the advice, consent,
support, or vote of the Canadian Parliament.

What David Amos and the rest of the ignorant, uneducated, and babbling
chattering classes are too addled to understand is the deployment of
less than 75 special operations troops, and what is known by planners
as a “six pac cell” of fighter aircraft is NOT the same as a
deployment of a Battle Group, nor a “war” make.

The Canadian Government or The Crown unlike our amerkan cousins have
the “constitutional authority” to commit the Canadian nation to war.
That has been recently clearly articulated to the Canadian public by
constitutional scholar Phillippe Legasse. What Parliament can do is
remove “confidence” in The Crown’s Government in a “vote of
non-confidence.” That could not happen to the Chretien Government
regarding deployment to Afghanistan, and it won’t happen in this
instance with the conservative majority in The Commons regarding a
limited Canadian deployment to the Middle East.

President George Bush was quite correct after 911 and the terror
attacks in New York; that the Taliban “occupied” and “failed state”
Afghanistan was the source of logistical support, command and control,
and training for the Al Quaeda war of terror against the world. The
initial defeat, and removal from control of Afghanistan was vital and
essential for the security and tranquility of the developed world. An
ISIS “caliphate,” in the Middle East, no matter how small, is a clear
and present danger to the entire world. This “occupied state,”
or“failed state” will prosecute an unending Islamic inspired war of
terror against not only the “western world,” but Arab states
“moderate” or not, as well. The security, safety, and tranquility of
Canada and Canadians are just at risk now with the emergence of an
ISIS“caliphate” no matter how large or small, as it was with the
Taliban and Al Quaeda “marriage” in Afghanistan.

One of the everlasting “legacies” of the “Trudeau the Elder’s dynasty
was Canada and successive Liberal governments cowering behind the
amerkan’s nuclear and conventional military shield, at the same time
denigrating, insulting them, opposing them, and at the same time
self-aggrandizing ourselves as “peace keepers,” and progenitors of
“world peace.” Canada failed. The United States of Amerka, NATO, the
G7 and or G20 will no longer permit that sort of sanctimonious
behavior from Canada or its government any longer. And Prime Minister
Stephen Harper, Foreign Minister John Baird , and Cabinet are fully
cognizant of that reality. Even if some editorial boards, and pundits
are not.

Justin, Trudeau “the younger” is reprising the time “honoured” liberal
mantra, and tradition of expecting the amerkans or the rest of the
world to do “the heavy lifting.” Justin Trudeau and his “butt buddy”
David Amos are telling Canadians that we can guarantee our security
and safety by expecting other nations to fight for us. That Canada can
and should attempt to guarantee Canadians safety by providing
“humanitarian aid” somewhere, and call a sitting US president a “war
criminal.” This morning Australia announced they too, were sending
tactical aircraft to eliminate the menace of an ISIS “caliphate.”

In one sense Prime Minister Harper is every bit the scoundrel Trudeau
“the elder” and Jean ‘the crook” Chretien was. Just As Trudeau, and
successive Liberal governments delighted in diminishing,
marginalizing, under funding Canadian Forces, and sending Canadian
military men and women to die with inadequate kit and modern
equipment; so too is Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Canada’s F-18s are
antiquated, poorly equipped, and ought to have been replaced five
years ago. But alas, there won’t be single RCAF fighter jock that
won’t go, or won’t want to go, to make Canada safe or safer.

My Grandfather served this country. My father served this country. My
Uncle served this country. And I have served this country. Justin
Trudeau has not served Canada in any way. Thomas Mulcair has not
served this country in any way. Liberals and so called social
democrats haven’t served this country in any way. David Amos, and
other drooling fools have not served this great nation in any way. Yet
these fools are more than prepared to ensure their, our safety to
other nations, and then criticize them for doing so.

Canada must again, now, “do our bit” to guarantee our own security,
and tranquility, but also that of the world. Canada has never before
shirked its responsibility to its citizens and that of the world.

Prime Minister Harper will not permit this country to do so now

be fair to him I just called Greg Weston (613-288-6938) I suggested
that he should at least Google SOUCOM and David Amos It would be wise
if he check ALL of CBC's sources before he publishes something else
about the DND EH Don Newman? Lets just say that the fact  that  your
old CBC buddy, Tony Burman is now in charge of Al Jazeera English
never impressed me. The fact that he set up a Canadian office is
interesting though

Anyone can call me back and stress test my integrity after they read
this simple pdf file. BTW what you Blue Sky dudes pubished about
Potash Corp and BHP is truly funny. Perhaps Stevey Boy Harper or Brad
Wall will fill ya in if you are to shy to call mean old me.

"But Lang, defence minister McCallum's chief of staff, says military
brass were not entirely forthcoming on the issue. For instance, he
says, even McCallum initially didn't know those soldiers were helping
to plan the invasion of Iraq up to the highest levels of command,
including a Canadian general.

That general is Walt Natynczyk, now Canada's chief of defence staff,
who eight months after the invasion became deputy commander of 35,000
U.S. soldiers and other allied forces in Iraq. Lang says Natynczyk was
also part of the team of mainly senior U.S. military brass that helped
prepare for the invasion from a mobile command in Kuwait."

http://baconfat53.blogspot.com/2010/06/canada-and-united-states.html

"I remember years ago when the debate was on in Canada, about there
being weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Our American 'friends"
demanded that Canada join into "the Coalition of the Willing. American
"veterans" and sportscasters loudly denounced Canada for NOT buying
into the US policy.

At the time I was serving as a planner at NDHQ and with 24 other of my
colleagues we went to Tampa SOUCOM HQ to be involved in the planning
in the planning stages of the op....and to report to NDHQ, that would
report to the PMO upon the merits of the proposed operation. There was
never at anytime an existing target list of verified sites where there
were deployed WMD.

Coalition assets were more than sufficient for the initial strike and
invasion phase but even at that point in the planning, we were
concerned about the number of "boots on the ground" for the occupation
(and end game) stage of an operation in Iraq. We were also concerned
about the American plans for occupation plans of Iraq because they at
that stage included no contingency for a handing over of civil
authority to a vetted Iraqi government and bureaucracy.

There was no detailed plan for Iraq being "liberated" and returned to
its people...nor a thought to an eventual exit plan. This was contrary
to the lessons of Vietnam but also to current military thought, that
folks like Colin Powell and "Stuffy" Leighton and others elucidated
upon. "What's the mission" how long is the mission, what conditions
are to met before US troop can redeploy?  Prime Minister Jean Chretien
and the PMO were even at the very preliminary planning stages wary of
Canadian involvement in an Iraq operation....History would prove them
correct. The political pressure being applied on the PMO from the
George W Bush administration was onerous

American military assets were extremely overstretched, and Canadian
military assets even more so It was proposed by the PMO that Canadian
naval platforms would deploy to assist in naval quarantine operations
in the Gulf and that Canadian army assets would deploy in Afghanistan
thus permitting US army assets to redeploy for an Iraqi
operation....The PMO thought that "compromise would save Canadian
lives and liberal political capital.. and the priority of which
....not necessarily in that order. "

You can bet that I called these sneaky Yankees again today EH John
Adams? of the CSE within the DND?

WITHOUT PREJUDICE

Mr. David Amos

Dear Mr. Amos:

This will acknowledge receipt of a copy of your e-mail of December 29,
2006 to Corporal Warren McBeath of the RCMP.

Because of the nature of the allegations made in your message, I have
taken the measure of forwarding a copy to Assistant Commissioner Steve
Graham of the RCMP °J" Division in Fredericton.

Sincerely,

Honourable Michael B. Murphy
Minister of Health

CM/cb

CLEARLY THE RCMP/GRC AND THE KPMG PALS DO NOT KNOW

Dear Mr. Amos,

Thank you for your follow up e-mail to me today. I was on days off
over the holidays and returned to work this evening. Rest assured I
was not ignoring or procrastinating to respond to your concerns.

As your attachment sent today refers from Premier Graham, our position
is clear on your dead calf issue: Our forensic labs do not process
testing on animals in cases such as yours, they are referred to the
Atlantic Veterinary College in Charlottetown who can provide these
services. If you do not choose to utilize their expertise in this
instance, then that is your decision and nothing more can be done.

As for your other concerns regarding the US Government, false
imprisonment and Federal Court Dates in the US, etc... it is clear
that Federal authorities are aware of your concerns both in Canada and
the US. These issues do not fall into the purvue of Detachment
policing in Petitcodiac, NB.

It was indeed an interesting and informative conversation we had on
December 23rd, and I wish you well in all of your future endeavors.

Sincerely,

Warren McBeath, Cpl.

Equal access to justice threatened in the Acadian Peninsula, lawyers say

Fundamental rights are jeopardized by closures of courthouses in northeast and elsewhere, groups say


Miriam Lafontaine· CBC News ·
The New Brunswick government says the closure of the Caraquet courthouse on Jan. 1 is an attempt to use resources more efficiently. (René Landry/Radio-Canada)

Lawyers say they're worried about the closure of courthouses underway in the province for the last 15 years, with the Acadian Peninsula the latest region to be hit.

This week, the provincial government announced that the courthouse in Caraquet will close Jan. 1, and its caseload will be transferred to Bathurst, about 66 kilometres away. 

The Tracadie courthouse will become a satellite court, opening only one day a week.

Lawyers who spoke with Radio-Canada say they have fears about how this will impact predominantly French-speaking New Brunswickers in the region, who will be forced to travel farther and face additional costs as a result. 

"It seems we have forgotten that access to justice is a fundamental right recognized by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms," said attorney Euclide Lebouthillier, the vice-president of the Association of French Speaking Jurists of New Brunswick.

This right isn't worth much if citizens don't have the means to exercise it, Lebouthillier said.

"Inevitably what's going to happen is that people are going to renounce their rights recognized under the charter," he said.

The two courthouses that deal with criminal cases in provincial court have been operating on reduced hours since the summer of 2020, the Department of Justice and Public Safety said in a news release this week.  

There has also been a decrease in the volume of cases in the region since 2012, the release said.

"These changes will allow us to make the best use of available resources given the current volume of cases," Justice and Public Safety Minister Hugh Flemming said in a statement.

"Since the Bathurst courthouse has the capacity to absorb these cases, making these changes will allow us to relieve workload pressures for staff and better allocate resources in our court system."

In 2012 ,the Caraquet court saw 1,260 cases but this number had fallen to 711 in 2020, according to numbers provided by the government. The Tracadie courthouse saw 1,061 cases in 2012 compared with 478 in 2020. 

The Tracadie courthouse has been operating at reduced levels since the summer of 2020, the province says. (Serge Bouchard/Radio-Canada )

"The target for occupancy per courtroom is 1,200 charges per year," said the Justice Department. "It's how the province determines how many courtrooms are needed per location to accommodate the volume."

The chief judge of the provincial court was consulted about closures, the province said Wednesday.

People on low incomes may be hurt most 

Several appearances are often necessary in criminal cases, and the costs associated are not insignificant, said Marc Richard, the general director of the Law Society of New Brunswick.

Lawyers charge extra for any additional time they have to spend travelling, which is why the New Brunswick bar has always promoted an equal distribution of courts around the province. 

"Maybe the person is not guilty, but they want to get rid of the case, so they decide to plead guilty instead," Richard said.

Low-income New Brunswickers in particular will bear the brunt of the government's decision to close the courts, the two lawyers said.

These may not own vehicles and will be forced to take more time off work to get to Bathurst.

The closures could discourage sexual assault victims and women experiencing domestic violence from coming forward, the two also said.  

"The woman, who already is a victim, will only become more victimized as a result," LeBouthillier said.

Those who would normally contest tickets they believe are unjustified might also be deterred, he added.

"He will just pay it because it costs too much to go up to Bathurst."

The two lawyers emphasized that it's not just regular citizens who will be disadvantaged but everyone involved in the justice system. 

Marc Richard, the general director of the Law Society of New Brunswick, says lawyers charge for travelling time, which is why the bar opposes reducing the number of courthouses around the province. (Radio-Canada)

Eighty to 85 per cent of all cases in the province go through provincial courts like the one in Caraquet, LeBouthillier said. 

Since the court also deals with many cases involving municipal bylaw violations, tickets, and violations of laws protecting the environment and wildlife, police officers and fishing officers that have to testify in these cases will be forced to travel more often. 

"When we send our police officers to Bathurst and then elsewhere, it is again the taxpayers who will have to pay, and police won't be on the territory to do the work they are normally paid to do," LeBouthillier said. 

Administrative staff in the Caraquet courthouse will be forced to move out of the region once the courthouse closes to keep their jobs, he added.

"From a social point of view, for the accused it is a loss. But for society, it entails incredible costs and disorganization."

Lawyers will also be discouraged from establishing themselves in communities such as Caraquet because they will constantly have to be on the move to handle their cases.

Numerous closures since 2007

Premier Blaine Higgs's government isn't the first to close courthouses. The Liberal governments under Brian Gallant and Shawn Graham started closing courthouses in 2007. 

The Graham government closed courthouses in Hampton, Richibucto, Shediac, Sackville, Dalhousie, Neguac, Doaktown, Perth, Shippagan and Sussex. The Gallant government closed the Grand Falls and St. Stephen courthouses.

The Charlotte County courthouse in Saint Andrews closed in 2016.

LeBouthillier wants to see elected officials in the region fight against the decision to closures. It's not just Caraquet and Tracadie that have less access to the justice system, but the entire Acadian Peninsula, he said.

MLAs in all three opposition parties have criticized the decision. 

"Access to justice is a principle part of democracy," Isabelle Thériault, the Liberal MLA for Carquet, said in an interview with Radio-Canada.

"The government has just tabled a reform of local governance [under] the pretext that it wants to develop and give more autonomy, and, a few days later, it announces it is cutting services in our rural Francophone, Acadian, and Liberal regions."

Saint John lawyer named provincial court judge

Marco Cloutier will take bench immediately

 
Bobbi-Jean MacKinnon· CBC News ·

Saint John lawyer Marco Cloutier has been appointed New Brunswick's newest provincial court judge.

He will serve on the bench in Saint John, effective immediately, Justice Minister and Attorney-General Marie-Claude Blais announced in a statement on Friday.

Cloutier's appointment will "ensure the timely management of court cases," said Blais.

"He is a well-respected lawyer and has extensive legal experience. I am confident that his leadership will serve the public well and he will be a welcome addition to the provincial court," she said.

Cloutier, a partner at McInnes Cooper, has specialized in insurance law, including coverage issues, personal injury, fatalities, and errors and omission claims against professionals, according to the firm's website.

He successfully conducted the first trial held in New Brunswick addressing the legislation for minor personal injuries arising out of motor vehicle accidents, it states.

Cloutier also developed a procedure unique to New Brunswick for preservation of a claimant’s private Facebook and contents.

In 2010, he was recognized as one of the country's leading lawyers under the age of 40 by Lexpert, a business magazine for lawyers.

Recipients are selected based on a range of criteria, including a successful track record with complex cases, a demonstrated value to their law firm or company, community involvement, being a team leader and being adaptable to change.

Now 22 full-time provincial court judges

Cloutier, who is bilingual, will join Saint John's other two full-time judges — Andrew LeMesurier and Henrik Tonning.

The New Brunswick provincial court system now has a total of 22 judges, eight so-called supernumerary judges, who continue to hear cases in semi-retirement and two per diem judges, as well as the chief judge and associate chief

Cloutier was called to the New Brunswick bar in 1998.

He obtained his law degree at the University of Moncton in 1997. He also has a 1994 Bachelor of Education from the University of Moncton.

In order to be appointed to the provincial court, candidates must have been members in good standing of the New Brunswick Bar for at least 10 years and have undergone a screening process conducted by a committee comprised of members of the public, the practicing bar, and the judiciary, according to the provincial government's website.

Provincial Court judges are appointed by the provincial cabinet.

Three new provincial court judges were appointed in April 2012, including Kenneth Oliver of Fredericton, D. Troy Sweet of Moncton and Brigitte Volpé of Saint-Jacques.

LA RÉVISION DE LA LOI SUR LES LANGUES OFFICIELLES DU NOUVEAU-BRUNSWICK

On se rappellera que, le 15 janvier 2021, le gouvernement du Nouveau-Brunswick avait annoncé la nomination de deux commissaires, « qui entreprendront une révision de la Loi sur les langues officielles »[1], laquelle doit être terminée au plus tard le 31 décembre 2021[2]. Cette annonce, qui était tant attendue, nous avait toutefois laissé sur notre appétit et nous avait déçu dans la mesure où nous constations que le premier ministre persistait à y voir l’occasion de « trouver des manières d’améliorer l’accès aux deux langues officielles pour tous les gens du Nouveau-Brunswick ».

En effet, pareille question est contraire à la raison d’être de la Loi, dont le but, nous dit le législateur, la veille de son adoption, « est de permettre aux citoyens du Nouveau-Brunswick de pouvoir vivre dans leur langue, qu’ils soient francophones ou anglophones »[3].

Le 26 février 2021, on apprenait que la province nommait la juge Yvette Finn et John McLaughlin, ancien sous-ministre du ministère de l’Éducation et du Développement de la petite enfance, comme commissaires chargés d’entreprendre une révision de la Loi. Ces nominations ont malgré tout bien été accueillies par les organismes communautaires acadiens et francophones du Nouveau-Brunswick.

Au début du mois de mai 2021, la province a également dévoilé son nouveau site web (www.nbbilingue.ca), qui est maintenant disponible afin que la population néo-brunswickoise puisse participer au processus de consultation publique en lien avec la révision de la Loi. Sur ce site web, on y retrouve diverses informations, telles qu’une présentation des commissaires et leurs rôles, un questionnaire ouvert au public et la chronologie des étapes du processus de consultation.

Afin de demeurer proactif dans ce dossier d’intérêt, nous avons contacté la commissaire Finn au mois de mai afin de lui demander à être entendus en personne dans le cadre du processus de révision de la Loi. Notre demande a immédiatement été acceptée et l’AJEFNB, par l’entremise de son président, Me Florian Arseneault, et de son directeur général, Me Alexandre Vienneau, a eu l’occasion de rencontrer les commissaires par vidéoconférence le 21 juillet 2021.

Au cours de cette rencontre, notre président et notre directeur général ont discuté avec les commissaires des dispositions de la Loi qui, selon l’AJEFNB, nécessitent des changements substantiels. 

Afin de demeurer concis et de ne pas trop nous éloigner de notre champ d’expertise, nos recommandations et commentaires ont principalement porté sur le domaine juridique. Plus précisément, nous avons mis l’accent sur deux enjeux juridiques où l’AJEFNB a déployé plusieurs efforts et ressources au cours des dernières années : 1) les dispositions entourant le mandat, les pouvoirs, les obligations et le processus de nomination du commissaire aux langues officielles; et 2) l’administration de la justice.

Nous avons également discuté brièvement des autres dispositions de la Loi qui nécessitent des changements, telles que celles qui se rattachent à l’effectivité de la Loi, ainsi que des recommandations antérieures émises par l’AJEFNB lors du dernier processus de révision de la Loi en 2012.

En guise de préparation pour cette rencontre, l’AJEFNB a également préparé un mémoire qu’elle a soumis aux commissaires, lequel sera rendu public dans les prochains jours.

Bien entendu, la révision de la Loi constitue un dossier important actuel pour l’AJEFNB, mais également pour l’ensemble des organismes acadiens et francophones de la province. À cet égard, notre directeur général a participé à plusieurs rencontres menées par la SANB, où l’ensemble des organismes acadiens et francophones ont eu la chance d’articuler leur position sur la question. 

À l’issue de ces rencontres, un consensus clair s’est dégagé : en aucun cas une révision « statut quo » ne sera acceptée par la communauté acadienne et francophone en ce qui concerne la révision décennale de la Loi. À cet égard, l’AJEFNB a d’ailleurs été cosignataire d’un communiqué de presse. 

Bref, d’ici la conclusion de la révision de la Loi, l’AJEFNB va continuer de collaborer étroitement avec les autres organismes acadiens et francophones ainsi qu’avec les représentants du gouvernement afin de faire progresser positivement ce dossier, qui revêt d’une importance primordiale pour la communauté de langue officielle minoritaire du Nouveau-Brunswick.

MODERNISATION DE LA LOI SUR LES LANGUES OFFICIELLES DU CANADA

Le 15 juin 2021, la ministre du Développement économique et des Langues officielles du Canada, Mélanie Joly, a finalement déposé le projet de loi C-32 – La Loi modifiant la Loi sur les langues officielles et apportant des modifications connexes et corrélatives à d’autres lois[4]. Après plusieurs années d’attente, l’AJEFNB a accueilli favorablement ce projet de loi et est heureuse de constater que la majorité des revendications avancées au fil des ans par les communautés francophones en situation minoritaire se retrouvent dans ce projet de loi. 

Somme toute, ce projet de loi est très prometteur et comporte très peu de lacunes. Or, étant donné que la chambre des communes est présentement en pause estivale et le fait que de nouvelles élections pourraient avoir lieu dans un avenir rapproché, mentionnons également qu’il apparait évident que ce projet de loi ne sera pas adopté aussitôt. 

En effet, dans ce contexte temporel, il aurait certainement été souhaitable que ce projet de loi soit déposé plus tôt afin que le processus législatif suive son cours habituel et mène à la sanction royale dudit projet de loi. Dans un scénario où le gouvernement libéral ne serait pas reporté au pouvoir, il y a lieu de s’inquiéter que tout ce processus pourrait tomber à l’eau et que tout serait à recommencer. 

L’AJEFNB est toutefois confiante et espère que la bonne volonté politique de tous les partis primera sur la partisanerie politique afin qu’ils collaborent activement dans ce dossier, qui revêt d’une importante primordiale pour l’avancement et le respect des droits linguistiques des communautés minoritaires francophones du Canada. Chose certaine, l’AJEFNB va continuer de collaborer avec tous les partis et tous les intervenants impliqués dans ce dossier afin qu’une modernisation de la Loi sur langues officiellesdu Canada voie enfin le jour.

ASSEMBLÉE GÉNÉRALE ANNUELLE 2021

Le 4 mai 2021, au nom du président de l’AJEFNB, nos membres ont reçu un avis de convocation leur indiquant que notre assemblée générale annuelle aurait lieu le mercredi 9 juin 2021. Malheureusement, le quorum n’a pas été atteint lors de cette assemblée et, par conséquent, elle a dû être remise au mercredi 23 juin 2021.

En vertu de l’article 7.05 de notre Règlement, notre assemblée générale a donc tout de même pu avoir lieu. Nous profitons d’ailleurs de l’occasion pour remercier ceux et celles qui se sont joints à nous, soit lors de la première tentative d’assemblée, ou encore lors de la deuxième. Parmi les faits importants à noter, voici la liste de nos membres qui ont été élus sur notre conseil d’administration pour la prochaine année : 

Président : Me Florian ARSENEAULT

Vice-président : Me Euclide LEBOUTHILLIER Secrétaire-Trésorière :  Me Brigitte OUELLETTE

Péninsule acadienne : Me Harold MICHAUD

Chaleur : Me Mario LANTEIGNE

Victoria/Carleton : Me Tina LAGACÉ-RIVARD

Fredericton : Me Véronique GUITARD

Fundy : Me Lucia WESTIN

Corps professoral : Me Érik LABELLE EASTAUGH

Assoc. étudiant(e)s : Mme Céleste BRANCH

NOMINATION DE MAÎTRE MARIE-EVE NOWLAN AU CA

Dans les semaines qui ont suivi notre AGA, l’AJEFNB a reçu la candidature de Maître Marie-Eve Nowlan pour pourvoir le poste de représentante de la région Westmorland. Puisque Me Nowlan possède toutes les qualités, compétences et connaissances requises pour occuper ce poste, les membres de notre CA ont favorablement accueilli cette candidature, en adoptant à l’unanimité une résolution ayant pour objet d’entériner sa candidature. 

L’AJEFNB est très heureuse d’accueillir Me Nowlan au sein de son conseil d’administration et elle a bien hâte de collaborer avec elle! Le profil complet de Me Nowlan, qui travaille actuellement comme avocate au cabinet Fidelis Law Droit, à Moncton, sera publié dans les prochains mois.

NOMINATION DE L’HONORABLE JUGE MAHMUD JAMAL À LA COUR SUPRÊME DU CANADA

Le 17 juin 2021, le gouvernement du Canada a annoncé la nomination du juge Mahmud Jamal à la Cour suprême du Canada. À ce sujet, l’AJEFNB a publié un communiqué de presse le 22 juin 2021, lequel est disponible sur notre site web. L’AJEFB se réjouit de la nomination du juge Jamal à la Cour suprême du Canada. Cette nomination survient à la suite du départ à la retraite de la juge Rosalie Silberman Abella. La nomination du juge Jamal, un juge bilingue, s’inscrit comme une action essentielle dans le but d’assurer que l’accès équitable à la justice dans les deux langues officielles soit possible au Canada. Au nom de tous ses membres, l’AJEFNB offre ses plus sincères félicitations au juge Mahmud Jamal.

NOMINATION DE MME MARY SIMON COMME GOUVERNEURE GÉNÉRALE

Le 6 juillet 2021, le gouvernement du Canada a annoncé la nomination de Mme Mary Simon à titre de nouvelle gouverneure générale du Canada.

Mme Simon est une leader inuite au parcours et à l’engagement exemplaire. Au cours de sa carrière, elle a, entre autres, été représentante autochtone lors de négociations entourant le rapatriement de la Constitution canadienne, ambassadrice aux affaires circumpolaires et première Inuk à obtenir un poste d’ambassadrice, au Danemark.

Bien que cette nomination soit une étape historique franchie au pays et un pas en avant pour la réconciliation avec les peuples autochtones, l’AJEFNB déplore le fait que le gouvernement de Justin Trudeau ait nommé une personne qui ne parle pas les deux langues officielles. Dans un pays où le français et l’anglais ont un statut et des droits et privilèges égaux, l’AJEFNB soutient qu’il est nécessaire que les postes de haute importance comme celui de gouverneur général du Canada soient occupés par des personnes maîtrisant les deux langues officielles.

Au nom de tous ses membres, l’AJEFNB offre ses plus sincères félicitations à Mme Mary Simon dans ses nouvelles fonctions et salue son engagement à développer ses connaissances en français. Nous lui souhaitons bonne chance dans son nouveau poste.

DES MEMBRES DE L’AJEFNB SE DISTINGUENT

L’AJEFNB désire féliciter l’un de ses membres honoraires, le professeur Michel Doucet, c.r., ainsi que le professeur Donald Poirier, qui ont reçu le statut de professeur émérite de la part de l’Université de Moncton lors des cérémonies de collation des grades qui ont eu lieu en mai dernier. Le statut de professeur émérite est décerné́ par l’Université de Moncton aux professeurs à la retraite dont les dossiers démontrent l’excellence en enseignement et en recherche ainsi qu’en services à la collectivité, la création ou le développement. 

L’AJEFNB désire également féliciter Me Basile Chiasson, c.r., qui est devenu, en mai dernier, le rédacteur en chef du Bulletin des avocats. Pendant de nombreuses années avant sa nomination, Me Chiasson était également le président du comité́ des contributions d’articles pour la publication. 

Le Bulletin des avocats est publié trimestriellement par l’Association du Barreau canadien – Division du Nouveau-Brunswick à l’ensemble de ses membres et comprend des textes de doctrine, le message du président, des notes de cas et des sommaires de décisions, des avis de pratique, les faits saillants de la législation ainsi que des articles de fond.

Acting chief judge and new associate chief provincial court judge appointed

17 March 2021

FREDERICTON (GNB) – Mary Jane Richards of Fredericton has been appointed acting chief judge of New Brunswick’s provincial court, while Marco Cloutier of Saint John has been appointed associate chief judge. The announcement was made by Justice and Public Safety Minister Hugh J. Flemming.

“I extend my gratitude to Judge Richards for accepting this acting role. She will provide stability to the leadership and operations of the provincial court in the interim,” said Flemming. “I also congratulate Judge Cloutier, who steps into his new role with experience and insight from his eight years serving as a judge of the provincial court.”

Cloutier’s appointment as associate chief judge is for a seven-year term, replacing Richards who has completed her term in the role. She will serve as acting chief judge on an interim basis and will then return to her role as provincial court judge for Fredericton.

Richards is a graduate of the University of New Brunswick’s law program. She is a former chief sheriff and former assistant deputy minister of court services with the provincial government. She was appointed to the provincial court bench in 2005.

Cloutier obtained his law degree at the Université de Moncton and was called to the New Brunswick bar in 1998. Prior to his appointment to the provincial court in 2013, he was a partner with the Saint John office of a major Atlantic Canadian law firm where he gained experience in litigation and insurance law. In 2010, he was recognized by Lexpert as one of Canada's Top 40 Under 40 leading lawyers.

The appointments are effective today.

 History

The Law Society was officially created in 1846. The Provincial Legislative Assembly adopted Chapter 48 of the Provincial Statutes which in effect incorporated what was then called the "Barristers' Society" for the "purpose of securing in the Province a learned and honourable legal profession, for establishing order and good conduct among its members and for promoting knowledgeable development and reform of the law".

While the name of the organisation has changed and is now the Law Society of New Brunswick, its original mandate has remained essentially the same.

It is important to note that the Law Society is an independent body, which has as its primary responsibility the protection of the public in the administration of justice.

The Consolidated Law Society Act, 1996 sets out clearly the objects and duties of the Society.

They are as follows:

(a) to uphold and protect the public interest in the administration of justice,

(b) to preserve and protect the rights and freedoms of all persons,

(c) to ensure independence, integrity and honor of its members,

(d) to establish standards of education, professional responsibility and competence of its members and applicants to membership, and

(e) to regulate the legal profession.

To accomplish the above, the Society has established rules, committees and procedures, details of which appear under the sectionRegulation. You can also go to our FAQ or conduct a search for the information you seek.

Equal access to justice threatened in the Acadian Peninsula, lawyers say

Fundamental rights are jeopardized by closures of courthouses in
northeast and elsewhere, groups say

Miriam Lafontaine · CBC News · Posted: Nov 27, 2021 8:00 AM AT


 The New Brunswick government says the closure of the Caraquet
courthouse on Jan. 1 is an attempt to use resources more efficiently.
(René Landry/Radio-Canada)

Lawyers say they're worried about the closure of courthouses underway
in the province for the last 15 years, with the Acadian Peninsula the
latest region to be hit.

This week, the provincial government announced that the courthouse in
Caraquet will close Jan. 1, and its caseload will be transferred to
Bathurst, about 66 kilometres away.

The Tracadie courthouse will become a satellite court, opening only
one day a week.

Lawyers who spoke with Radio-Canada say they have fears about how this
will impact predominantly French-speaking New Brunswickers in the
region, who will be forced to travel farther and face additional costs
as a result.

"It seems we have forgotten that access to justice is a fundamental
right recognized by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms," said attorney
Euclide Lebouthillier, the vice-president of the Association of French
Speaking Jurists of New Brunswick.

This right isn't worth much if citizens don't have the means to
exercise it, Lebouthillier said.

"Inevitably what's going to happen is that people are going to
renounce their rights recognized under the charter," he said.

The two courthouses that deal with criminal cases in provincial court
have been operating on reduced hours since the summer of 2020, the
Department of Justice and Public Safety said in a news release this
week.

There has also been a decrease in the volume of cases in the region
since 2012, the release said.

"These changes will allow us to make the best use of available
resources given the current volume of cases," Justice and Public
Safety Minister Hugh Flemming said in a statement.

"Since the Bathurst courthouse has the capacity to absorb these cases,
making these changes will allow us to relieve workload pressures for
staff and better allocate resources in our court system."

In 2012 ,the Caraquet court saw 1,260 cases but this number had fallen
to 711 in 2020, according to numbers provided by the government. The
Tracadie courthouse saw 1,061 cases in 2012 compared with 478 in 2020.

The Tracadie courthouse has been operating at reduced levels since the
summer of 2020, the province says. (Serge Bouchard/Radio-Canada )

"The target for occupancy per courtroom is 1,200 charges per year,"
said the Justice Department. "It's how the province determines how
many courtrooms are needed per location to accommodate the volume."

The chief judge of the provincial court was consulted about closures,
the province said Wednesday.

    New Fredericton courthouse will cost $60M, Burton courthouse to be
closed by 2025

People on low incomes may be hurt most

Several appearances are often necessary in criminal cases, and the
costs associated are not insignificant, said Marc Richard, the general
director of the Law Society of New Brunswick.

Lawyers charge extra for any additional time they have to spend
travelling, which is why the New Brunswick bar has always promoted an
equal distribution of courts around the province.

"Maybe the person is not guilty, but they want to get rid of the case,
so they decide to plead guilty instead," Richard said.

Low-income New Brunswickers in particular will bear the brunt of the
government's decision to close the courts, the two lawyers said.

These may not own vehicles and will be forced to take more time off
work to get to Bathurst.

The closures could discourage sexual assault victims and women
experiencing domestic violence from coming forward, the two also said.

"The woman, who already is a victim, will only become more victimized
as a result," LeBouthillier said.

Those who would normally contest tickets they believe are unjustified
might also be deterred, he added.

"He will just pay it because it costs too much to go up to Bathurst."

The two lawyers emphasized that it's not just regular citizens who
will be disadvantaged but everyone involved in the justice system.

Marc Richard, the general director of the Law Society of New
Brunswick, says lawyers charge for travelling time, which is why the
bar opposes reducing the number of courthouses around the province.
(Radio-Canada)

Eighty to 85 per cent of all cases in the province go through
provincial courts like the one in Caraquet, LeBouthillier said.

Since the court also deals with many cases involving municipal bylaw
violations, tickets, and violations of laws protecting the environment
and wildlife, police officers and fishing officers that have to
testify in these cases will be forced to travel more often.

"When we send our police officers to Bathurst and then elsewhere, it
is again the taxpayers who will have to pay, and police won't be on
the territory to do the work they are normally paid to do,"
LeBouthillier said.

Administrative staff in the Caraquet courthouse will be forced to move
out of the region once the courthouse closes to keep their jobs, he
added.

"From a social point of view, for the accused it is a loss. But for
society, it entails incredible costs and disorganization."

Lawyers will also be discouraged from establishing themselves in
communities such as Caraquet because they will constantly have to be
on the move to handle their cases.
Numerous closures since 2007

Premier Blaine Higgs's government isn't the first to close
courthouses. The Liberal governments under Brian Gallant and Shawn
Graham started closing courthouses in 2007.

The Graham government closed courthouses in Hampton, Richibucto,
Shediac, Sackville, Dalhousie, Neguac, Doaktown, Perth, Shippagan and
Sussex. The Gallant government closed the Grand Falls and St. Stephen
courthouses.

The Charlotte County courthouse in Saint Andrews closed in 2016.

    Historic courthouse becomes Hampton's new town hall

    St. Stephen courthouse closure prompts protest

LeBouthillier wants to see elected officials in the region fight
against the decision to closures. It's not just Caraquet and Tracadie
that have less access to the justice system, but the entire Acadian
Peninsula, he said.

MLAs in all three opposition parties have criticized the decision.

"Access to justice is a principle part of democracy," Isabelle
Thériault, the Liberal MLA for Carquet, said in an interview with
Radio-Canada.

"The government has just tabled a reform of local governance [under]
the pretext that it wants to develop and give more autonomy, and, a
few days later, it announces it is cutting services in our rural
Francophone, Acadian, and Liberal regions."

>>> PRESENT:        The Honourable Mr. Justice Bell
>>>
>>> BETWEEN:
>>>
>>> DAVID RAYMOND AMOS
>>>
>>> Plaintiff
>>>
>>> and
>>>
>>> HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN
>>>
>>> Defendant
>>>
>>> ORDER
>>>
>>> (Delivered orally from the Bench in Fredericton, New Brunswick, on
>>> December 14, 2015)
>>>
>>> The Plaintiff seeks an appeal de novo, by way of motion pursuant to
>>> the Federal Courts Rules (SOR/98-106), from an Order made on November
>>> 12, 2015, in which Prothonotary Morneau struck the Statement of Claim
>>> in its entirety.
>>>
>>> At the outset of the hearing, the Plaintiff brought to my attention a
>>> letter dated September 10, 2004, which he sent to me, in my then
>>> capacity as Past President of the New Brunswick Branch of the Canadian
>>> Bar Association, and the then President of the Branch, Kathleen Quigg,
>>> (now a Justice of the New Brunswick Court of Appeal).  In that letter
>>> he stated:
>>>
>>> As for your past President, Mr. Bell, may I suggest that you check the
>>> work of Frank McKenna before I sue your entire law firm including you.
>>> You are your brother’s keeper.
>>>
>>> Frank McKenna is the former Premier of New Brunswick and a former
>>> colleague of mine at the law firm of McInnes Cooper. In addition to
>>> expressing an intention to sue me, the Plaintiff refers to a number of
>>> people in his Motion Record who he appears to contend may be witnesses
>>> or potential parties to be added. Those individuals who are known to
>>> me personally, include, but are not limited to the former Prime
>>> Minister of Canada, The Right Honourable Stephen Harper; former
>>> Attorney General of Canada and now a Justice of the Manitoba Court of
>>> Queen’s Bench, Vic Toews; former member of Parliament Rob Moore;
>>> former Director of Policing Services, the late Grant Garneau; former
>>> Chief of the Fredericton Police Force, Barry McKnight; former Staff
>>> Sergeant Danny Copp; my former colleagues on the New Brunswick Court
>>> of Appeal, Justices Bradley V. Green and Kathleen Quigg, and, retired
>>> Assistant Commissioner Wayne Lang of the Royal Canadian Mounted
>>> Police.
>>>
>>> In the circumstances, given the threat in 2004 to sue me in my
>>> personal capacity and my past and present relationship with many
>>> potential witnesses and/or potential parties to the litigation, I am
>>> of the view there would be a reasonable apprehension of bias should I
>>> hear this motion. See Justice de Grandpré’s dissenting judgment in
>>> Committee for Justice and Liberty et al v National Energy Board et al,
>>> [1978] 1 SCR 369 at p 394 for the applicable test regarding
>>> allegations of bias. In the circumstances, although neither party has
>>> requested I recuse myself, I consider it appropriate that I do so.
>>>
>>>
>>> AS A RESULT OF MY RECUSAL, THIS COURT ORDERS that the Administrator of
>>> the Court schedule another date for the hearing of the motion.  There
>>> is no order as to costs.

A 20-year spike in inflation could put the bite on the Trudeau Liberals


https://www.cbc.ca/radio/thehouse/hall-file-inflation-1.6264330


 

The House

A 20-year spike in inflation could put the bite on the Trudeau Liberals

While the experts say it's not Ottawa's fault, it's still the government's problem


Chris Hall· CBC News ·

Heath Krevesky is a self-confessed political junkie — and a bit of a nerd.

That's his way of explaining why he's been tracking his weekly grocery bill for years now. And why he's worried that inflation is taking a bigger and bigger bite out of his food budget.

"In 2019, it cost me $9,826 to feed myself. In 2020, that cost of feeding myself went to $11,994, an increase of 22 per cent," he said.

"I can't wait to find out how this year wraps itself out. It appears as though it's going to be close to $14,000 for a single individual to feed themselves."

Food prices. Gasoline. A meal out. The cost of many everyday items is going up after inflation hit 4.7 per cent last month — the highest rate in nearly twenty years.

Heath Krevesky of Nanaimo, B.C. says he's noticed the cost of groceries rising throughout the pandemic. (Submitted by Heath Krevesky)

For Krevesky, higher prices means scaling back the menu and adjusting his tastes.

The resident of Nanaimo on Vancouver Island said he buys less meat these days, and when he does, he leans to beef ribs rather than steak.

"It's sort of like your poor man's choice of beef, if you will," he said during an interview for a special segment on inflation airing on this weekend's edition of CBC's The House.

"Everybody would like to be able to afford a prime rib, you know, on a semi-regular basis, I cannot afford that ... Ideally, I like to eat a little bit of beef or chicken, fish, throughout the week, so I get a balanced diet, but it's becoming increasingly more [expensive]."

 
16:57What’s causing Canada’s inflation woes?

Shoppers and business owners share their experiences with rising costs and prices, and a panel of economists offer their perspective on inflation in Canada. 16:57

Droughts, lockdowns, bottlenecks

It's hard to point to a single factor behind rising prices.

Droughts in Canada and other countries reduced crop yields. The pandemic reduced production in manufacturing plants as consumers emerged from lockdowns with money they're both willing and able to spend.

"What we're seeing around the world is supply chain bottlenecks," Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland said this week when asked by a reporter if the Liberals' plan to spend another $100 billion on post-pandemic programs is to blame for the jump in inflation.

"We are seeing higher energy prices. Energy is a global commodity. When those prices are higher in one country, they are higher around the world. We're seeing a basic challenge that shutting down the world's economy turned out to be a much simpler process than turning the global economy back on."

But for a government that remains relentlessly focused on what it likes to call "the middle class and those working hard to join it," inflation isn't some abstract economic concept. It's making life less affordable for those very same people.

Kathy Wainberg is the owner of Pita Ikram. She has two locations, strictly take-out, in the northwest corner of Toronto. Like many small restaurateurs, she struggles to hire staff and serve a steady stream of customers.

A few months ago, she put up a notice letting customers know the prices of their favourite shawarma meals were going up by about 20 per cent.

"Things like oil that we use for frying food have, like, tripled in price," she told The House. "We waited to raise prices for as long as we possibly could … but in the restaurant industry, the margins are razor thin, so we were unable to absorb maybe as much of the costs as the customer would have liked to have seen."

It's stories like these that make inflation a convenient target for any opposition politician intent on linking government policy to rising prices.

Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre has been leading the charge on inflation for his party. (Sean Kilpatrick/The Canadian Press)

Conservative finance critic Pierre Poilievre led the opposition charge this week. He accused the Liberal government of wanton spending, saying inflation is worse in this country than most other democratic countries because, like the United States, the Liberals have been "printing money to pay their bills" instead of controlling spending.

"The cost of government is driving up the cost of living. Almost a half a trillion dollars of inflationist Liberal deficits mean more dollars chasing fewer goods, driving higher prices," he said.

Poilievre is one of those politicians who can boil down complicated issues like fiscal policy into easily-understood soundbites, packaged with claims that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is entirely out of touch with Canadians' lives.

"The prime minister says he doesn't think much about monetary policy," he said. "That's no surprise. After all, it's 'Justin-flation.'"

But economist Trevor Tombe of the University of Calgary said Poilievre is stretching the data by suggesting inflation is worse in Canada than in places like Switzerland.

"I can cherry-pick countries, too. Israel has among the highest rates of money supply growth in the developed world, but among the lowest rates of inflation," he said.

"So overall, across all developed economies, there really isn't a strong relationship between the money supply growth and observed inflation."

Economist Armine Yalnizian acknowledges the Liberals aren't immune to the political impact of rising prices, even if the inflation rate now is more of a short-term spike than a long-term trend.

"Of course the Liberals are vulnerable to people feeling like they're losing purchasing power," she said.

Cross Country Checkup1:53:00Can we shop our way out of the climate crisis?

As politicians and negotiators head home, COP26 has come to a close — but concerns over climate change continue.

Some experts say it's the responsibility of consumers to change their shopping habits and reduce their carbon footprints. Buying green, they argue, will encourage the market to shift how products are made

Others, however, say the burden is on government to implement policies and legislation that mitigate the effects of what we buy on the planet. 

Our question this week: Can we shop our way out of the climate crisis? How important is consumer choice?

Equal access to justice threatened in the Acadian Peninsula, lawyers say

Fundamental rights are jeopardized by closures of courthouses in
northeast and elsewhere, groups say

Miriam Lafontaine · CBC News · Posted: Nov 27, 2021 8:00 AM AT


 The New Brunswick government says the closure of the Caraquet
courthouse on Jan. 1 is an attempt to use resources more efficiently.
(René Landry/Radio-Canada)

Lawyers say they're worried about the closure of courthouses underway
in the province for the last 15 years, with the Acadian Peninsula the
latest region to be hit.

This week, the provincial government announced that the courthouse in
Caraquet will close Jan. 1, and its caseload will be transferred to
Bathurst, about 66 kilometres away.

The Tracadie courthouse will become a satellite court, opening only
one day a week.

Lawyers who spoke with Radio-Canada say they have fears about how this
will impact predominantly French-speaking New Brunswickers in the
region, who will be forced to travel farther and face additional costs
as a result.

"It seems we have forgotten that access to justice is a fundamental
right recognized by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms," said attorney
Euclide Lebouthillier, the vice-president of the Association of French
Speaking Jurists of New Brunswick.

This right isn't worth much if citizens don't have the means to
exercise it, Lebouthillier said.

"Inevitably what's going to happen is that people are going to
renounce their rights recognized under the charter," he said.

The two courthouses that deal with criminal cases in provincial court
have been operating on reduced hours since the summer of 2020, the
Department of Justice and Public Safety said in a news release this
week.

There has also been a decrease in the volume of cases in the region
since 2012, the release said.

"These changes will allow us to make the best use of available
resources given the current volume of cases," Justice and Public
Safety Minister Hugh Flemming said in a statement.

"Since the Bathurst courthouse has the capacity to absorb these cases,
making these changes will allow us to relieve workload pressures for
staff and better allocate resources in our court system."

In 2012 ,the Caraquet court saw 1,260 cases but this number had fallen
to 711 in 2020, according to numbers provided by the government. The
Tracadie courthouse saw 1,061 cases in 2012 compared with 478 in 2020.

The Tracadie courthouse has been operating at reduced levels since the
summer of 2020, the province says. (Serge Bouchard/Radio-Canada )

"The target for occupancy per courtroom is 1,200 charges per year,"
said the Justice Department. "It's how the province determines how
many courtrooms are needed per location to accommodate the volume."

The chief judge of the provincial court was consulted about closures,
the province said Wednesday.

    New Fredericton courthouse will cost $60M, Burton courthouse to be
closed by 2025

People on low incomes may be hurt most

Several appearances are often necessary in criminal cases, and the
costs associated are not insignificant, said Marc Richard, the general
director of the Law Society of New Brunswick.

Lawyers charge extra for any additional time they have to spend
travelling, which is why the New Brunswick bar has always promoted an
equal distribution of courts around the province.

"Maybe the person is not guilty, but they want to get rid of the case,
so they decide to plead guilty instead," Richard said.

Low-income New Brunswickers in particular will bear the brunt of the
government's decision to close the courts, the two lawyers said.

These may not own vehicles and will be forced to take more time off
work to get to Bathurst.

The closures could discourage sexual assault victims and women
experiencing domestic violence from coming forward, the two also said.

"The woman, who already is a victim, will only become more victimized
as a result," LeBouthillier said.

Those who would normally contest tickets they believe are unjustified
might also be deterred, he added.

"He will just pay it because it costs too much to go up to Bathurst."

The two lawyers emphasized that it's not just regular citizens who
will be disadvantaged but everyone involved in the justice system.

Marc Richard, the general director of the Law Society of New
Brunswick, says lawyers charge for travelling time, which is why the
bar opposes reducing the number of courthouses around the province.
(Radio-Canada)

Eighty to 85 per cent of all cases in the province go through
provincial courts like the one in Caraquet, LeBouthillier said.

Since the court also deals with many cases involving municipal bylaw
violations, tickets, and violations of laws protecting the environment
and wildlife, police officers and fishing officers that have to
testify in these cases will be forced to travel more often.

"When we send our police officers to Bathurst and then elsewhere, it
is again the taxpayers who will have to pay, and police won't be on
the territory to do the work they are normally paid to do,"
LeBouthillier said.

Administrative staff in the Caraquet courthouse will be forced to move
out of the region once the courthouse closes to keep their jobs, he
added.

"From a social point of view, for the accused it is a loss. But for
society, it entails incredible costs and disorganization."

Lawyers will also be discouraged from establishing themselves in
communities such as Caraquet because they will constantly have to be
on the move to handle their cases.
Numerous closures since 2007

Premier Blaine Higgs's government isn't the first to close
courthouses. The Liberal governments under Brian Gallant and Shawn
Graham started closing courthouses in 2007.

The Graham government closed courthouses in Hampton, Richibucto,
Shediac, Sackville, Dalhousie, Neguac, Doaktown, Perth, Shippagan and
Sussex. The Gallant government closed the Grand Falls and St. Stephen
courthouses.

The Charlotte County courthouse in Saint Andrews closed in 2016.

    Historic courthouse becomes Hampton's new town hall

    St. Stephen courthouse closure prompts protest

LeBouthillier wants to see elected officials in the region fight
against the decision to closures. It's not just Caraquet and Tracadie
that have less access to the justice system, but the entire Acadian
Peninsula, he said.

MLAs in all three opposition parties have criticized the decision.

"Access to justice is a principle part of democracy," Isabelle
Thériault, the Liberal MLA for Carquet, said in an interview with
Radio-Canada.

"The government has just tabled a reform of local governance [under]
the pretext that it wants to develop and give more autonomy, and, a
few days later, it announces it is cutting services in our rural
Francophone, Acadian, and Liberal regions."

Certaines précautions ont été mises en place au bureau de
circonscription afin d’assurer tant la protection des membres du
personnel que celle des visiteuses et visiteurs. Il sera notamment
nécessaire de se désinfecter les mains et de porter un masque avant
d’entrer dans le bureau. Une fois à l’intérieur, il faudra respecter
les règles de distanciation sociale et demeurer à distance du
plexiglas derrière lequel se trouvera la personne à la réception. Il
est toujours préférable de communiquer avec le bureau par téléphone ou
courriel et, si nécessaire, de prendre préalablement rendez-vous avant
de s’y présenter physiquement.


Si vous avez des symptômes grippaux, nous vous prions de ne pas vous
présenter à notre bureau et de téléphoner au 450 644-4545.


Toutes ces mesures ont pour objectif de contribuer à éviter ou limiter
une recrudescence de la COVID-19. Merci de votre compréhension!

>>> BETWEEN:
>>>
>>> DAVID RAYMOND AMOS
>>>

>>>
>>> and
>>>
>>> HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN
>>>
>>> Defendant
>>>
>>> ORDER
>>>
>>> (Delivered orally from the Bench in Fredericton, New Brunswick, on
>>> December 14, 2015)
>>>
>>> The Plaintiff seeks an appeal de novo, by way of motion pursuant to
>>> the Federal Courts Rules (SOR/98-106), from an Order made on November
>>> 12, 2015, in which Prothonotary Morneau struck the Statement of Claim
>>> in its entirety.
>>>
>>> At the outset of the hearing, the Plaintiff brought to my attention a
>>> letter dated September 10, 2004, which he sent to me, in my then
>>> capacity as Past President of the New Brunswick Branch of the Canadian
>>> Bar Association, and the then President of the Branch, Kathleen Quigg,
>>> (now a Justice of the New Brunswick Court of Appeal).  In that letter
>>> he stated:
>>>
>>> As for your past President, Mr. Bell, may I suggest that you check the
>>> work of Frank McKenna before I sue your entire law firm including you.
>>> You are your brother’s keeper.
>>>
>>> Frank McKenna is the former Premier of New Brunswick and a former
>>> colleague of mine at the law firm of McInnes Cooper. In addition to
>>> expressing an intention to sue me, the Plaintiff refers to a number of
>>> people in his Motion Record who he appears to contend may be witnesses
>>> or potential parties to be added. Those individuals who are known to
>>> me personally, include, but are not limited to the former Prime
>>> Minister of Canada, The Right Honourable Stephen Harper; former
>>> Attorney General of Canada and now a Justice of the Manitoba Court of
>>> Queen’s Bench, Vic Toews; former member of Parliament Rob Moore;
>>> former Director of Policing Services, the late Grant Garneau; former
>>> Chief of the Fredericton Police Force, Barry McKnight; former Staff
>>> Sergeant Danny Copp; my former colleagues on the New Brunswick Court
>>> of Appeal, Justices Bradley V. Green and Kathleen Quigg, and, retired
>>> Assistant Commissioner Wayne Lang of the Royal Canadian Mounted
>>> Police.
>>>
>>> In the circumstances, given the threat in 2004 to sue me in my
>>> personal capacity and my past and present relationship with many
>>> potential witnesses and/or potential parties to the litigation, I am
>>> of the view there would be a reasonable apprehension of bias should I
>>> hear this motion. See Justice de Grandpré’s dissenting judgment in
>>> Committee for Justice and Liberty et al v National Energy Board et al,
>>> [1978] 1 SCR 369 at p 394 for the applicable test regarding
>>> allegations of bias. In the circumstances, although neither party has
>>> requested I recuse myself, I consider it appropriate that I do so.
>>>
>>>
>>> AS A RESULT OF MY RECUSAL, THIS COURT ORDERS that the Administrator of
>>> the Court schedule another date for the hearing of the motion.  There
>>> is no order as to costs.

I must Say I am rather impressed at CBC's sudden fit of Integrity to allow my posts to stand the test of time for a few hours at least. (: Rest assured that I have been saving digital snapshots just in case they delete and block me as usual :)

In return here is an old scoop about CTV that CBC and everybody else and his dog has been ignoring for 11 very long years after I ran in the election of the 38th Parliament against the aptly named lawyer Rob Moore.

RCMP were cleared in a fatal Moncton shooting but the public wasn't told. Will that change?

Nova Scotia agency ruled 2019 fatal shooting of 24-year-old Moncton man by RCMP justified

 
Shane Magee· CBC News ·
An RCMP officer who fatally shot a man inside an apartment building on Somerset Street in Moncton was cleared by an independent agency last year, but that finding wasn't made public until last week. (Radio-Canada)

Nova Scotia's police watchdog agency concluded an RCMP officer was justified in fatally shooting a 24-year-old man in Moncton two years ago. Until last week, that conclusion was a secret.

Neither RCMP or the Serious Incident Response Team (SIRT) released the information when the probe finished in 2020.

The case raises questions about whether results of similar investigations will be readily made public when SIRT formally expands to New Brunswick next year.

A statement last week from New Brunswick's Department of Justice and Public Safety didn't answer the question. SIRT's director declined an interview.

"All of these reports should be made public because policing is a public service," Michael Boudreau, a St. Thomas University criminology professor, said in an interview. 

"It's troubling that the RCMP didn't want to release this because it makes it look as if they had something to hide, when it turns out they didn't. The officer was cleared of any wrongdoing in this shooting."

Michael Boudreau, a St. Thomas University criminology professor who has advocated for a SIRT-like team in New Brunswick, says its reports should be publicly released once complete. (Zoom)

New Brunswick doesn't have an independent agency to investigate serious incidents involving police like SIRT or Ontario's Special Investigations Unit.

In recent fatal or non-fatal shootings by police, New Brunswick police forces have turned to agencies in other provinces to investigate an officer's actions.

After years of calls to implement an agency, including from Boudreau, the New Brunswick government announced last month it will partner with Nova Scotia to formally expand SIRT to respond in this province next year.

Geoffrey Downey, a spokesperson for New Brunswick's Department of Justice and Public Safety, said in an emailed statement last week the province is reviewing legislative requirements for the new model. Downey didn't say if SIRT's reports will be routinely made public.

In Nova Scotia, SIRT is required to publicly release a summary of its findings. The report and a news release are posted online. If criminal charges are laid, a less detailed report is issued to avoid releasing information that could affect the trial.

But in New Brunswick, two SIRT investigations requested by RCMP of shootings in the Moncton-area in 2019 resulted in the Mounties and SIRT saying they couldn't release the results. SIRT previously said since it lacked a formal mandate in New Brunswick, it didn't have authority to release the reports.

The Mounties directed CBC to file access to information requests. In both, the force responded months later claiming it couldn't find the reports.

In both cases, CBC filed complaints with the federal information commissioner, resulting in RCMP releasing the reports.

Charles Leger, the chair of the Codiac Regional Policing Authority civilian board that oversees RCMP in the Moncton-area, finds it concerning the reports were only released following access to information requests.

"From everything I've read related to the SIRT process and what they do in Nova Scotia, the conclusions, for example, of the inquiry should have been made available long ago," he said. "I don't know what happened."

In the most recent case involving the fatal shooting, the information commissioner's office ruled the RCMP "did not conduct a reasonable search" for the report the Mounties told CBC to file an access request to get.

Cpl. Hans Ouellette, a spokesperson for the New Brunswick RCMP, said in a statement last week the force supports release of the findings of these independent review agencies.

However, the RCMP has decided the agencies should release the reports they produce "to preserve the independent nature of the review."

SIRT director Felix Cacchione has previously said it doesn't have the authority to release its reports when conducting investigations in New Brunswick. (CBC)

Ouellette said during the processing of the access request, the force's position was "misinterpreted as the report could not be located." It wasn't clear from his statement who misinterpreted that.

In May when the Mounties said they couldn't find the report they have since located, Ouellette issued a statement saying the report wasn't sent to RCMP despite SIRT naming a specific person who received it.

What the report says

The three page report released 16 months after that access request lays out a summary of what occurred Aug. 4, 2019 in an apartment building on Somerset Drive. It doesn't name the man killed or the officer who shot him.

It says the man was in an apartment with two others, one a tenant who called the police after the three had consumed crystal methamphetamine.

The report describes the 24-year-old as a "troubled young man" who previously harmed himself and often spoke about or attempted suicide.

The report says the 24-year-old moved toward the officer with a knife after police twice attempted to use a Taser. (CBC)

The man was in a bedroom while police remained in the apartment unit's small foyer.

An officer spoke to the man for several minutes, but the report says the man "responded by swearing at the officer and saying he was going to destroy him." 

The man drew what the report describes as a large 12–inch kitchen knife, which the officer and the two civilian witnesses told him to drop.

The report says the man threatened to kill the officer and then began "poking himself in the abdomen" with the knife.

The officer, the report says, attempted to use a Taser twice when the man began to harm himself, but it didn't make full contact. 

"The [man] fell backwards onto the bed and then immediately sprang to his feet and charged at the officers," SIRT's report states.

"The [man] was approximately six feet away from the [officer] when the [officer] began discharging his firearm. The [man] was approximately one foot away from the [officer] when he collapsed."

The report notes officers have authority under the Criminal Code of Canada to use deadly force to protect the officer or another person's life. 

The SIRT report concludes that in the circumstances, the officer's use of force was justified and there was no basis for further action, such as charges, against the officer.

RCMP says it can't find report into fatal shooting by Moncton officer

Second time in two years Mounties say they can’t find reports by independent agency

 
Shane Magee· CBC News ·
A 24-year-old Moncton man was fatally shot in his Moncton apartment on Aug. 4, 2019, by a Codiac Regional RCMP officer. An independent investigation of the shooting was completed last year, but its results haven't been made public. (CBC)

For the second time in two years, the RCMP says it can't find a report by an independent agency examining shootings by officers in the Moncton-area.

Following two separate shootings by Codiac Regional RCMP officers in 2019, RCMP asked Nova Scotia's Serious Incident Response Team to investigate the officers' actions. One shooting in January that year injured a woman, while a man was killed in an August shooting.

The Nova Scotia agency said it couldn't release the findings and had submitted its reports to the RCMP. In both cases, the RCMP refused to voluntarily disclose SIRT's findings, leaving it unclear for more than a year whether the shootings were considered justified.

Both times, the Mounties told CBC News to file access to information requests to get the results of the investigations. Months later, the force said it couldn't find the two reports.

"Unfortunately, we were unable to locate the records which respond to your request," the RCMP wrote to CBC in a letter received last week about the report into the fatal shooting.

RCMP say that the man was threatening officers with a weapon and that officers used a Taser before he was shot. (Radio-Canada)

Cpl. Hans Ouellette, an RCMP spokesperson in New Brunswick, said in an email Monday afternoon that neither report  was sent to the Mounties by SIRT, but instead to the province's Department of Justice and Public Safety. 

However, SIRT says otherwise.

"The Director completed his report on June 29 and provided it to the RCMP that same day," SIRT said in a July 24 email to CBC.

After this story was published Tuesday, SIRT told CBC it had sent the report to New Brunswick RCMP Chief Supt. Annie Pitre, criminal operations officer.

The provincial department wasn't able to answer a late-afternoon request Monday to clarify who received the report. Ouellette did not respond when provided a copy of the SIRT email that contradicts his statement.

Last year, the RCMP did release a redacted copy of the non-fatal shooting report after initially saying it couldn't be found.

Most recently, CBC sought a SIRT report examining the death of a 24-year-old man shot by Codiac Regional RCMP in an apartment building on Somerset Drive on Aug. 4, 2019.

An RCMP spokesperson previously said officers responded to a call for assistance around 2 p.m. that day and found a man with a knife who made "threatening actions" toward the officers.

Police said the man was Tasered but continued to threaten police. The officer then shot the man. 

"At the request of the New Brunswick RCMP, and as a matter of standard practice related to serious incidents, the Nova Scotia Serious Incident Response Team (SIRT), an independent agency, will conduct a review of police actions in response to the incident," RCMP said in a 2019 news release. 

The independent team investigates serious incidents arising from police actions in Nova Scotia and decides whether charges are warranted against an officer. 

New Brunswick has no such agency. Police forces have relied on SIRT or Quebec's Bureau des enquêtes indépendantes to carry out external investigations. 

Felix Cacchione, director of Nova Scotia's Serious Incident Response Team, has said the agency can't release the reports on shootings it investigates in New Brunswick because it doesn't have the jurisdiction to do so. (CBC)

In Nova Scotia, the agency issues news releases and a public report with a summary of the facts, the investigator's conclusions and the reasons for those findings. 

However, the organization has said it cannot release its findings or the report as it doesn't have jurisdiction to do so in New Brunswick.

RCMP Const. Isabelle Beaulieu told CBC to file an access to information request to get the results. 

Under federal law, the RCMP are obligated to respond to the request within 30 days. The response to CBC's request filed July 24, 2020, was received by mail 291 days after the request was made.

The sequence of events echoes what happened with the SIRT report into on the non-fatal shooting. At the time, the province also said it would be up to RCMP to release the report. 

"SIRT investigative reports pertaining to incidents involving the RCMP rest with the RCMP to determine any level of disclosure and as such should be addressed with the RCMP," Coreen Enos, a spokesperson for the Department of Public Safety, said in 2019.

That report examined the circumstances of a Codiac Regional RCMP member who shot a woman in Dieppe near the airport after she fired an airsoft gun at first responders on Jan. 5, 2019.

After SIRT's report on that shooting was given to RCMP, the force told CBC to file an access to information request. That resulted in the Mounties saying the report couldn't be found in Nova Scotia or New Brunswick. 

CBC complained to Canada's Office of the Information Commissioner, which handles and investigates complaints about access to records, saying that it was impossible the report didn't exist given the RCMP's own statements.

RCMP then released a redacted copy of the report. It cleared the officer of wrongdoing.

Problems with the RCMP's responses to access to information requests aren't new. 

Nova Scotia RCMP investigated the 2015 Bathurst police shooting death of Michel Vienneau but claimed it had no records related to the investigation in response to an access to information request.

After a complaint to the federal information commissioner, the force released nearly 1,800 pages of documents and more than 1,000 images and videos.

A report released in November by the commissioner's office says poor management of getting staff to search for records often led to requests being bounced around, sometimes resulting in the force saying it can't find any records. 

The report also says the force routinely violates the law regarding timely responses to requests.

"Canadians rightfully expect that the police force for Canada, in charge of enforcing Canadian law, will itself comply with it," Caroline Maynard wrote in the report.

Nova Scotia police watchdog expanding to New Brunswick

New agreement formalizes arrangement involving Serious Incident Response Team

Nova Scotia's police watchdog, the Serious Incident Response Team, will investigate cases involving officers in New Brunswick under a new agreement in principle between the two provincial governments announced Monday.

New Brunswick has for years has relied on agencies outside its borders to come in and investigate when there's a serious incident involving police. SIRT has conducted some of those investigations, but the new agreement will formalize the arrangement. 

The team's mandate is to investigate serious incidents that stem from police actions, including death, serious injury, sexual assault, domestic violence and "other matters of significant public interest." It is independent, and in Nova Scotia can lay charges against police officers.

SIRT director Felix Cacchione said plenty of logistics will have to be worked out between now and when the agreement takes effect next year. He said the team will require three or four more investigators, which is double the current number.

"We did not have the manpower to cover two recent incidents in New Brunswick and had to refer them to other outside agencies," Cacchione said.

Chantel Moore, 26, and Rodney Levi, 48, were shot and killed by police in New Brunswick eight days apart. (CBC)

Those cases are the deaths of Chantal Moore and Rodney Levi, who were both shot by police within days of one another in June 2020.

Cacchione said the Quebec watchdog agency that eventually took on the Moore case was able to send eight investigators and its own forensic team.

Cacchione said he would prefer to have at least some of the new investigators based in New Brunswick, citing the long response times when investigators are dispatched from Halifax.

He said for cases in the Edmundston or Campbellton areas in northern New Brunswick, it would take investigators a minimum of eight hours just to get there from Halifax. He noted SIRT investigated one case along the side of the Trans-Canada Highway.

"That scene has to be maintained until the arrival of the SIRT investigators, the arrival of the forensic identification team and that posed a problem," he said. "The Trans-Canada has to be shut down."

Cacchione said the new arrangement will also require legislative changes. He said SIRT investigators are not currently recognized as peace officers in New Brunswick and have to get special clearance from the province's Justice Department every time they go there.

He said the New Brunswick process is also different because the provincial Public Prosecution Service must lay any charges, whereas he has the power in Nova Scotia to lay charges without Crown approval. He said he'd like to see changes to the New Brunswick system so that SIRT would operate under the same rules in both provinces.

Time for a serious rethink of the Serious Incident Response Team?

A mentally disturbed man holding a pellet gun is shot and killed by police who mistook it for a handgun. The officer who killed him fired when the man pointed his fake gun at police after another officer had fired a rubber bullet at him and missed... There must be better ways to handle these cases. Just don't ask SIRT to suggest those ways.

By 6 Comments

On July 9, 2020, the RCMP responded to a“call of an armed man who was uttering threats” at a home where he lived with his mother in Eastern Passage. “When police arrived,” the Mounties said in a news release after the incident, “they located the man, a 60-year-old from Eastern Passage, armed with a handgun, outside the residence. The man did not respond to officers’ directions. After a short time, the man raised his handgun towards the responding officers. Responding officers discharged their firearms.”

One of those officers shot Richard Kenneth Wheeler four times, killing him.

The “handgun” he was holding? It turned out to be “an air gun pistol, which was not loaded and did not have an air cartridge in it.”

As is routine in such cases, Nova Scotia’s Serious Incident Response Team investigated the incident and concluded, after an almost eight-month investigation, that the shooting was justified.

Read one way, its report, released early this month, seems exhaustive:

The following evidence was obtained, reviewed, and considered in the preparation of this report: a call to 911 made by [Wheeler] the Affected Party’s (AP) 85-year-old mother, the audio recorded statement of the AP’s mother, audio recorded statements of seven civilian witnesses (CW), all police radio communications related to this incident, the Subject Officer’s (SO) statement of events, audio/video recorded statements of the two Witness Officers (WOl, WO2) who were standing next to the SO when shots were fired, supplementary reports of five WOs present in the vicinity of the incident, reports of two supervisors not present at the scene, photographs of the SO and all WOs, Forensic Identification Section (FIS) reports and photographs, autopsy reports and photographs and a toxicology report of the AP.

According to SIRT’s report, Wheeler’s mother called police after he had threatened her with what she thought was a loaded pistol. He was intoxicated. According to people who knew him, Wheeler had already told others of his desire to die and had even discussed with his doctor the possibility of getting medical aid in dying, but he did not meet the criteria for MAID. During his mother’s call with police — which he apparently knew she was making — he said in a voice “loud enough to be heard” that he would shoot whoever came to the house.

Eight officers responded. At least two of the officers who approached Wheeler on the home’s side deck were armed with rifles, a third with an Arwen rifle, a less-lethal weapon that is designed for riot control but — like the air gun — looks like the real thing.

The only officer with emergency response training — it is not clear if that training included dealing with suicidal individuals or those hoping to provoke “suicide by cop” — took the lead.

According to SIRT’s report, his attempts to de-escalate the situation consisted of issuing orders: “Drop the gun.” “Put the gun down and show me your hands.” “Put your hands in the air.” When Wheeler refused and swore at the officers, the lead officer instructed the one with the Arwen rifle — the one that fires rubber bullets but looks real — to fire. He missed. In response, Wheeler raised his fake gun and pointed it at the police. The lead officer then fired four shots from his real rifle, hitting Wheeler with all of them.

The SIRT report does not say whether Wheeler’s children, Kevin and Katelyn, were among the civilian witnesses interviewed but, according to their Facebook post a few days after the shooting (reported by my colleague Zane Woodford), their version differed in  significant ways:

Dad was sitting outside on the steps with a pellet gun in his hand pointing it towards the ground, not the police. The police did not try to negotiate with him at all or use any other avenues to resolve the situation. They asked him to “drop the gun” then immediately shot him 4 times.

The SIRT report says it considered the facts and the relevant legal issues, as well as the “progression in the continuum of force” officers are trained to use and actually employed in this case.”

Viewed objectively, in light of the protections afforded to a peace officer under section 25 of the Criminal Code of Canada, an assessment of the use of force in the circumstances of this incident establishes that the SO was justified in using the force they did, that the force used was not excessive and was in accordance with their training and RCMP policies. Accordingly, no criminal offence was committed, and no charges are warranted against the officer.

That may be the appropriate conclusion, but there are a couple of points worth noting.

SIRT Director Felix Cacchione. Photo: SIRT

For starters, according to SIRT’s own website, “there does not have to be an allegation of wrongdoing” for SIRT to become involved. SIRT’s director, retired Nova Scotia Supreme Court Judge Felix Cacchione, who is supposed to be “independent of police and government,” seems to have wide latitude in reporting not only his conclusions but also “the reasons for those findings.”

Despite that, there is no reference, not even a hint, in this latest report about whether police training in dealing with potential suicides — especially those seeking suicide by cop — is adequate. Should armed police officers be the first or only first responders to a mental health crisis? Beyond telling Wheeler to drop his gun, what could — should —the officers have done to try to de-escalate the situation?

Broader questions. Should pellet guns be allowed to mimic the look of real ones? Should non-lethal police weapons like the Arwen rifle be designed to look like the real thing?

The tragedy here is that a mentally disturbed man holding a pellet gun mistaken for a handgun was shot and killed by a police officer after the man responded to another officer firing a rubber bullet his way, after which he raised his pellet gun at the officers in response.

None of this is to suggest the officer — who was doing what he is trained to do in an extremely dangerous, real-life, in-the-moment situation— should face charges.

But surely there are also lessons to be learned.

 

And then too there is this other point that’s worth noting.

If you look at the last 10 news releases from SIRT dating back to Dec. 15, six of the 10 headlines begin: “No charges…” Of the remaining four releases, three simply announced the beginning of investigations into incidents and the last — an investigation into a single-car crash after a police chase — also concluded “there are no grounds to consider any charges against the officer.”

Fair enough. These investigations happen whenever police are involved in a “serious incident” resulting in injury or death. We should be comforted to know so few lead to charges.

And yet we also know that in two recent controversial high-profile cases involving police, SIRT also came to that same nothing-to-see here conclusion.

We all remember the January 2020 incident at the Halifax Walmart in which a young Black woman named Santina Rao was falsely accused of shoplifting (no charges), then violently arrested in a videotaped takedown and charged with resisting arrest (charged dropped).

SIRT concluded— not unlike the long-ago Nova Scotia Appeal Court justices who determined that Donald Marshall, Jr. was the “author of his own misfortune” — that Rao was to blame for provoking the officers so their actions in attacking her were “lawfully justified and required.”

In that context, it is worth noting that all of SIRT’s investigators are former police officers.

And then there is this. In the middle of last spring’s mass shooting in Nova Scotia, two RCMP officers driving an unmarked vehicle mistakenly fired into the Onslow Fire Hall, putting innocent lives at risk because they believed the shooter might be there, and then drove off without even checking to see if anyone had been hurt.

SIRT investigated. Its familiar, repeat-after-me conclusion:

Viewed objectively, in light of the protections afforded to peace officers by Section 25 of the Criminal Code, the totality of the circumstances, in what was a rapidly unfolding series of events, establishes that [the two officers] had a lawful excuse when they discharged their firearms.

My colleague, Tim Bousquet who has written extensively about the mass shooting, shot holes in the accuracy and adequacy of SIRT’s account of the incident. Among the many issues Bousquet raised: the number of shots the Mounties actually fired that day. Eyewitnesses and a photo of the outside of the firehall appeared to show far more than the five bullets SIRT claimed.

In an interview with the Examiner’s Jennifer Henderson, Felix Cacchione insisted SIRT’s numbers were correct. But when Henderson asked to see the ballistics report he’d referenced, Cacchione suggested she file a freedom of information request.

Transparency? Really? It is perhaps mentioning that, in another time and place, Felix Cacchione was the lawyer for Donald Marshall, Jr. Back to the SIRT website: “The Team’s ultimate goal at all times is to ensure the public will trust the team’s work, have confidence in its findings, be assured of its integrity, and gain comfort from its independence.”

Perhaps, in the interest of that trust, it is time for a serious rethink of the mandate and performance of the Serious Incident Response Team.

Veteran judge named head of Nova Scotia's police watchdog

Felix Cacchione spent 32 years as a judge

The Canadian Press ·
The Serious Incident Response Team is the province's independent police watchdog agency. (SIRT)

Nova Scotia has appointed retired judge Felix Cacchione as director of the province's independent police watchdog agency.

Cacchione will be heading the Serious Incident Response Team after 32 years on the bench, having recently retired from the Nova Scotia Supreme Court.

He replaces interim director John Scott, who was appointed to replace the agency's first director, Ron MacDonald.

The agency started up in 2012.

Cacchione's appointment comes into effect Monday.

The Montreal-born former judge studied law at Dalhousie University and has been a member of the Nova Scotia Barristers' Society since 1975.

He practised criminal law throughout his career, and was appointed a Nova Scotia county court judge in 1986 and a Nova Scotia Supreme Court judge in 1993 when the courts merged.

Head of Nova Scotia's police watchdog stepping down to take job in B.C.

Effective Oct. 24, Ron MacDonald will head B.C.'s Independent Investigations Office

The head of the province's Serious Incident Response Team (SIRT) is stepping down from his position late next month, but he says his departure won't have an impact on any of SIRT's investigations.

The independent police watchdog is called in to investigate all serious incidents involving police, regardless of whether there are allegations of wrongdoing.

Ron MacDonald's final day of work will be Oct. 23 and beginning the day after, he will become the chief civilian director of the Independent Investigations Office (IIO) in B.C., which is essentially that province's SIRT equivalent.

MacDonald said SIRT won't miss a beat because the investigations are carried out by a team of four investigators.

'Differences of opinion'

He said the IIO is a great move for him professionally, citing that it's larger and has challenges he hasn't been faced with in Nova Scotia.

"There have been some differences of opinion between the police and the IIO that have manifested themselves in a way to have made it to media coverage," said MacDonald.

One example occurred earlier this year, when IIO filed a legal petition against Vancouver's police chief and seven officers, alleging they weren't co-operating with the investigation into a 2016 fatal shooting outside a Canadian Tire.

MacDonald was tasked with forming SIRT in September 2011 and it began operating in April 2012.

Work on Lyle Howe case is wrapping up

Besides his work with SIRT, MacDonald chaired the Nova Scotia Barristers' Society's hearing into professional misconduct and incompetence allegations against Halifax lawyer Lyle Howe, who was found guilty. Howe, who is black, countered by saying he was a victim of discrimination based on race.

The society wants Howe to be disbarred and pay at least $450,000 in costs.

MacDonald is responsible for deciding what sanctions Howe will face. His decision is due no later than Oct. 23, which is also the final day of his work with SIRT.

Turmoil continues at the Nova Scotia Barristers’ Society

Two more members of the society's council resigned this month as the self-governing organization charged with regulating the legal profession continues to grapple with accusations of systemic discrimination in its ranks.

By Leave a Comment

A photo of an old brass set of scales, sitting on a wooden desk, with a blurry courtroom in the background.

rightswatch.ca

I am writing to provide my notice of resignation from [the Bar Society] Council, effective immediately. I am resigning as a result of the direct and systemic racism and discrimination that I have experienced during my time on council. The racism and discrimination have largely been directed at [the Racial Equity Committee] and its members, including me. It has occurred both inside council meetings and outside of council meetings. It has become so relentless — culminating in yesterday’s council meeting — that I cannot bear it any longer.

— Josie McKinney
Nova Scotia Barristers’ Society

The hemorrhaging inside the Nova Scotia’s Barristers’ Society continues.

At 9:14 am on November 13, the Saturday morning after a Friday meeting of the bar society’s governing council, Josie McKinney — an Indigenous lawyer, Nova Scotia’s first fulltime human trafficking prosecutor and the co-chair of the society’s racial equity committee — tendered her resignation. (Text of email)

Less than five hours later, Dr. Rod Wilson — a former president of the Nova Scotia College of Physicians and Surgeons who once practised at the Northend Community Clinic and was a volunteer public representative on the council — quit too. (Text)

“Regrettably,” he wrote:

… my experience at NSBS has been one shit show after another for the last two years. Having sat on many governing boards over the last 25 years, NSBS has been by far the most dysfunctional organization and least rewarding. This is not what I expected and [is] disappointing.

In case you’re counting, McKinney and Wilson are the fourth and fifth key resignations from the society so far this year.

  • Jim Rossiter, the council’s president, quit early in 2021, less than seven months into his one-year term, vaguely noting that the stress of the job had become more than he “could bear.”
  • The second vice-president, Denise Mentis-Smith, quit early too, without publicly explaining why.
  • The society’s executive director, Tilly Pillay, the first person of colour to hold the position, also resigned after less than three years on the job.

What’s going on here?

It is difficult to know all the specifics, or what exactly triggered these latest resignations. Neither McKinney nor Wilson would comment, and the society’s responses to my questions about them offered all the clarity of a salty fog in a winter blizzard. But there is no disputing that the society has been grappling with issues of race and racism for years. And still is.

In April 2021, in fact, the society appointed Doug Ruck, a former provincial ombudsman and a well-respected labour and human rights lawyer, to head up what it called “a comprehensive ​external, independent ​review of our regulatory policies and processes to identify and address any areas of systemic discrimination that exist within the ​society.”

Man and woman on their way to court

Lyle Howe arrives at court with his partner Laura McCarthy.

If you’re looking for ground zero for where we are now, you could do worse than start with the longest, most expensive and most polarizing hearing in bar society history. That inquiry into professional misconduct allegations against Lyle Howe (“Who is Lyle Howe? And Why Are So Many People Saying Such Nasty Things About Him?” Part I and Part II) resulted in his disbarment in 2017.

Howe, an African Nova Scotian, claimed — still claims — he was a victim of racism.

While the white-only hearing panel acknowledged it could indeed see some “connection” between Howe’s perception of a system biased against him and “historic and systemic racism” in Nova Scotia, it concluded there was “little evidence of actual, discriminatory attack” against Howe.

The society disbarred Howe for at least five years, even initially insisting he fork over $150,000 to the society before it would consider reinstating him.

Questions about systemic discrimination in the society’s treatment of Howe have festered, however, in part because Howe himself continues to challenge his disbarment in court and also, in no small part, because the society keeps putting its foot in it.

In the early summer of 2020, for example, the society issued a self-serving, self-satisfied response to the murder of George Floyd by US police. The society claimed it had been “deeply committed to addressing issues of systemic racism, including anti-Black racism in the justice system” for more than 30 years and would “lead Nova Scotia’s legal profession by example.”

That, not surprisingly, generated a fiery response from Laura McCarthy, Howe’s life partner and one of his lawyers before the NSBS:

The NSBS has demonstrated to me that they are like many other institutions within the justice system and institutions across North America, using the law as it suits them whilst holding down Blacks. The NSBS cannot move into a new chapter of trust and equality with their marginalized members and the public when there is so much discrimination dirt still under their rug.

The Howe case — and the society’s avowed commitment to equity — resurfaced yet again this fall because of the society’s kid-glove treatment of a white lawyer accused of a laundry list of bad behaviour similar to Howe’s.

Head and shoulders image of woman

Josie McKinney

The Howe case is not the only — or necessarily most significant — flashpoint, of course. Though details are sketchy, racialized members of the society allege they have often faced racist behaviour from their white counterparts. McKinney, in her letter of resignation, notes that when equity-promoting committees like hers attempted to bring under-represented voices to the society’s table…

… this work has almost always been met with resistance at council, and at times, dismissiveness and hostility. [We] have been told we are slowing things down, pushing an inappropriate agenda, and detracting from the real work of council. It has been my experience that this often occurs outside of council meetings and is not visible to all of council… Publicly, council has said it is committed to the work of diversity and inclusion, to cultural competency, and to equity. It is in our policies, our strategic plan, and in public statements. [But] council’s words are meaningless if we are not prepared to take the time to listen to voices from equity-deserving communities and to truly commit to the hard work of equity, no matter how uncomfortable it makes us feel.

I wanted to speak to the society’s current president, Tuma Young — an assistant professor in Indigenous Studies and Political Science at Cape Breton University and himself the first Mi’kmaq-speaking lawyer in Nova Scotia — about these latest resignations. In response, I got a bland statement attributed to him:

We fully appreciate the seriousness of the matter and have assured the members of Council that it is being addressed. Our 1st vice president has reached out to members of the equity committees to schedule meetings at the earliest opportunity.

We know there is more work to be done to improve relationships amongst these committees and council. This is a continuing commitment and the executive committee and I will continue to take actions to foster cooperative and respectful relationships going forward…

Additionally, Council has passed a resolution to make cultural competency training mandatory for all practising members, the Society has hired a new Equity Manager and added an additional full-time position in the Equity Office.

When I followed up in writing with more specific questions, Collette Deschene, the society’s communications advisor, sent me responses she described “as provided by our council executive.”

My questions and the executives’ answers follow:

Does the NSBS accept McKinney’s allegation that she has endured “direct and systemic racism and discrimination?”

Josie McKinney has been a valued volunteer with the NSBS, both as a member of council, and as a member and current co-chair of the Racial Equity Committee.  She has worked tirelessly to ensure the issue of systemic discrimination is finally being addressed. We are very concerned that she has indicated that she has experienced direct and systemic discrimination during her time as a volunteer with the society and we are committed to addressing her allegations.

How is it being addressed beyond the meetings you mentioned [in the initial response]? 

We see the meetings with the Equity Committees as an important first step. As well, the next regularly scheduled meeting of Council takes place in a week and this will be on the agenda. And Doug Ruck QC, who is undertaking the independent review, has been made aware of these allegations and they will be addressed as part of his work.

We are committed to listening and connecting with first voices. These issues precede the current leadership at the NSBS and we want to ensure we have a full understanding of how we arrived here. This current council, in place since June 2021, is the most diverse in the history of NSBS. We have an Indigenous president for the first time in history, and for that matter, of any law society in Canada. We want to work together with the committees to determine the next steps to ensure that we are not misguided in our approach to resolving these issues.

Will there be an investigation into any specific allegations McKinney raised? 

Most assuredly, these allegations are being taken very seriously. As mentioned, the next regularly scheduled meeting of Council takes place in a week and this will be on the agenda.  As well, Doug Ruck QC, who is undertaking the independent review, has been made aware of these allegations and they will be addressed as part of his work.

If it is found that concerns raised by racialized members of council have merit, are there sanctions that could be imposed on those involved?

We would like to allow the process of review to consider this matter. And we’d like to allow for a fulsome discussion at council meeting.  So, while it’s too early to provide an answer to this question, generally speaking, all parties would be held accountable for their actions.

Wilson, one of the public representatives on the council, concluded that the status quo appears to be desired and candid conversations are not encouraged. What will you do to change that perception?

By way of context, council members are elected or appointed for two-year terms. The current council term began in June 2021. NSBS is privileged to be working with the most diverse council in the organization’s history, with representation from 2SLGBTQ+, Indigenous and racialized lawyers and public members. It is important to have this diversity of voices at the council table as we move forward. It takes time to get know and understand one another and it will take patience to learn to adapt to the many changes we have made.  The current leadership has made it a priority to increase transparency and we are working to ensure that everyone is as eager to listen as they are to be heard. Rather than impose a process, we are working together with patience and understanding to ensure that the NSBS more appropriately meets the needs of members.

Given the number of resignations and the clear turmoil within the Bar Society, can you wait for the Ruck report before making significant changes?

We will continue to respond to issues as they arise and do not intend to wait to take action where it is needed. That said, the important work that Mr. Ruck is undertaking will continue. We are anticipating both interim and final recommendations as part of that work. A Liaison and Implementation Task Force has been established by Council to address those recommendations once they’ve been received.

What changes has the society made so far in response to the concerns raised by these and other resigning members?

We’ve just received these concerns.  We are addressing them at an upcoming Council meeting, and we look to Mr. Ruck to consider and provide counsel as part of his ongoing review. We’ve also had a process of governance review and reform underway for several months; this will help guide improvements we want to make.

You say: “We know there is more work to be done to improve relationships amongst these committees and Council…” What specifically has the council or the executive done to improve relationships to this point?

We have set up meetings with the committees; we are committed to taking the time needed for listening and discussion to take place.

With the review underway by Mr. Ruck, we will be expecting both interim and final recommendations. A Liaison and Implementation Task Force has been established by Council to address those recommendation once they’ve been received. We won’t wait until there is a final report in place to begin to make change. We know we can do better and we will.

So… there you have it. We still don’t know the details of what’s really been going on inside the Nova Scotia Barristers’ Society. But we certainly know the privileged self-governing organization that “regulates Nova Scotia’s legal profession…  [and exists] to uphold and protect public interest in the practice of law” is in turmoil.

And that’s not a good thing for any of us.

NS Government: Crown Attorney Dedicated to Human Trafficking Offences

by ahnationtalk onJuly 8, 2020

July 8, 2020

Senior Crown attorney Josie McKinney will become this province’s first Crown attorney dedicated to the prosecution of human trafficking offences.

“I am delighted that Ms. McKinney was the successful candidate for this very important prosecutorial role,” said Martin Herschorn, director of Public Prosecutions. “Ms. McKinney’s skills as a prosecutor combined with her extensive experience in dealing with vulnerable witnesses and difficult facts make her ideally suited for this new position.”

Ms. McKinney is Mi’kmaq and Maliseet and an alumna of the Indigenous Black and Mi’kmaq Initiative at Dalhousie University in Halifax. After graduating from Dalhousie Law School in 2006, Ms. McKinney articled with the Nova Scotia Department of Justice. In 2007 she joined the University of Ottawa Community Legal Clinic as Coordinator of Aboriginal Legal Services providing legal advice and representation in criminal law and, in certain cases, assisted criminally accused clients in making civil claims for negligent investigation and wrongful arrest. She also represented clients in the Indian Residential School Settlement claims process.

In 2011 Ms. McKinney was appointed a Crown attorney in the Yarmouth office of the Public Prosecution Service, moving to the Halifax office in 2018. Ms. McKinney has prosecuted hundreds of criminal cases including homicides, sexual assaults and cases of child luring. She is a member of the Public Prosecution Service Sexual Assault Working Group and the Equity and Diversity Committee. Ms. McKinney was the primary author of the prosecution service’s recently issued policy, Fair Treatment of Indigenous Peoples in Criminal Prosecutions in Nova Scotia.

She is a frequent presenter at Crown attorney educational conferences and on behalf of the Crown for other organizations.

Ms. McKinney is active in the legal community. She is a Halifax representative on the Nova Scotia Barristers’ Society Bar Council, which oversees regulation of the legal profession, and co-chair of the society’s Racial Equity Committee. Ms. McKinney is an active volunteer mentor for law students of the Indigenous Black and Mi’kmaq Initiative.

In her new role, Ms. McKinney will focus on human trafficking prosecutions and provide training to Crown attorneys across the province on human trafficking issues. She will work collaboratively with other justice partners in the effort to combat the broader problem of human trafficking.

This new position is part of the province’s $5 million initiative to address human trafficking, which also includes an increased focus on investigating these cases and on providing support to victims and their families.

Ms. McKinney begins her new role on July 14.

Uncover: Dead Wrong

In 1995, Brenda Way was brutally murdered behind a Dartmouth apartment building. In 1999, Glen Assoun was found guilty of the murder. He served 17 years in prison, but steadfastly maintained his innocence. In 2019, Glen Assoun was fully exonerated.

Halifax Examiner founder and investigative journalist Tim Bousquet has followed the story of Glen Assoun's wrongful conviction for over five years. Now, Bousquet tells that story as host of Season 7 of the CBC podcast series Uncover: Dead Wrong.

>>> PRESENT:        The Honourable Mr. Justice Bell
>>>
>>> BETWEEN:
>>>
>>> DAVID RAYMOND AMOS
>>>
>>> Plaintiff
>>>
>>> and
>>>
>>> HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN
>>>
>>> Defendant
>>>
>>> ORDER
>>>
>>> (Delivered orally from the Bench in Fredericton, New Brunswick, on
>>> December 14, 2015)
>>>
>>> The Plaintiff seeks an appeal de novo, by way of motion pursuant to
>>> the Federal Courts Rules (SOR/98-106), from an Order made on November
>>> 12, 2015, in which Prothonotary Morneau struck the Statement of Claim
>>> in its entirety.
>>>
>>> At the outset of the hearing, the Plaintiff brought to my attention a
>>> letter dated September 10, 2004, which he sent to me, in my then
>>> capacity as Past President of the New Brunswick Branch of the Canadian
>>> Bar Association, and the then President of the Branch, Kathleen Quigg,
>>> (now a Justice of the New Brunswick Court of Appeal).  In that letter
>>> he stated:
>>>
>>> As for your past President, Mr. Bell, may I suggest that you check the
>>> work of Frank McKenna before I sue your entire law firm including you.
>>> You are your brother’s keeper.
>>>
>>> Frank McKenna is the former Premier of New Brunswick and a former
>>> colleague of mine at the law firm of McInnes Cooper. In addition to
>>> expressing an intention to sue me, the Plaintiff refers to a number of
>>> people in his Motion Record who he appears to contend may be witnesses
>>> or potential parties to be added. Those individuals who are known to
>>> me personally, include, but are not limited to the former Prime
>>> Minister of Canada, The Right Honourable Stephen Harper; former
>>> Attorney General of Canada and now a Justice of the Manitoba Court of
>>> Queen’s Bench, Vic Toews; former member of Parliament Rob Moore;
>>> former Director of Policing Services, the late Grant Garneau; former
>>> Chief of the Fredericton Police Force, Barry McKnight; former Staff
>>> Sergeant Danny Copp; my former colleagues on the New Brunswick Court
>>> of Appeal, Justices Bradley V. Green and Kathleen Quigg, and, retired
>>> Assistant Commissioner Wayne Lang of the Royal Canadian Mounted
>>> Police.
>>>
>>> In the circumstances, given the threat in 2004 to sue me in my
>>> personal capacity and my past and present relationship with many
>>> potential witnesses and/or potential parties to the litigation, I am
>>> of the view there would be a reasonable apprehension of bias should I
>>> hear this motion. See Justice de Grandpré’s dissenting judgment in
>>> Committee for Justice and Liberty et al v National Energy Board et al,
>>> [1978] 1 SCR 369 at p 394 for the applicable test regarding
>>> allegations of bias. In the circumstances, although neither party has
>>> requested I recuse myself, I consider it appropriate that I do so.
>>>
>>>
>>> AS A RESULT OF MY RECUSAL, THIS COURT ORDERS that the Administrator of
>>> the Court schedule another date for the hearing of the motion.  There
>>> is no order as to costs.

Resolute Forest Products disappointed with final U.S. lumber duties

Company says decision is unjustified, and hurts both Canada and the U.S.
TBNewsWatch.com Staff
log_harvest_croppedOn Nov. 2, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced countervailing and anti-dumping duties for Canadian wood producers of 20.83 per cent.

The United States Department of Commerce has cut back softwood lumber duties for most Canadian producers, but not for Resolute Forest Products.

Although Resolute's duty is still one of the lowest, the company remains dissatisfied.

In an announcement in Washington on Nov. 2, American government officials revealed that the bulk of Canadian producers will pay a combined countervailing and anti-dumping rate of 20.83 per cent, down from the preliminary duty of 26.75 per cent imposed earlier this year.

For Resolute, the new rate is 17.9 per cent, a marginal increase from the preliminary figure of 17.41 per cent.

In a statement, the company said it's disappointed with the final determination.

It said it remains convinced that lumber from Ontario and Québec mills should have free, unencumbered access to the U.S. marketplace, because it is not subsidized.

The statement added that "the politics of managed softwood lumber trade only serves to benefit large timber barons in the U.S. while adversely impacting Canadian manufacturers, U.S. consumers and millions of hard-working Americans in the housing sector".

The Department of Commerce has applied the highest duties to West Fraser Timber of B.C., at 23.7 per cent, a considerable drop from the preliminary rate of 30.88 per cent.

New Brunswick mills facing increase in U.S. duties on softwood lumber

Biden administration increasing duties on Canadian lumber after a one-year reprieve

Jacques Poitras· CBC News ·

New Brunswick softwood lumber producers are being hit once again with higher duties on their exports to the United States.

After a year-long reprieve that gave mills a break thanks to lower duties, the U.S. Commerce Department is raising them again. 

Wood from New Brunswick producers, and most producers in the rest of Canada, will now be charged a duty of 11.59 per cent.

That's an increase from the 8.9 per cent that was in effect since last year for most New Brunswick mills and the 4.23 per cent that applied to wood from J.D. Irving Ltd.

"We're very disappointed with the U.S. government's decision to increase these unfair and unwarranted duties against New Brunswick's exports of softwood lumber," Premier Blaine Higgs said in a written statement.

Duties on Canadian lumber exports to the U.S. are once again on the rise. (Jesse Winter/Reuters)

"It's important to remember that in September 2020, the World Trade Organization decision on this case was overwhelmingly favourable to Canada and New Brunswick."

The New Brunswick Lumber Producers, an industry group representing companies affected by the U.S. trade action, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Higgs said his government would continue to work with Ottawa to fight the tariffs "through all the legal avenues available."

But given how long that can take, "it's time for the Governments of Canada and the U.S. to return to the bargaining table to resolve this dispute and avoid further protracted litigation," Higgs said.

American competitors have complained for years that Canadian wood is so subsidized that sales in the U.S. amount to unfair competition. The U.S. has repeatedly applied duties to artificially raise the price of the Canadian lumber for buyers south of the border.

New Brunswick and the rest of Atlantic Canada were exempt from that for decades. But in 2017 the U.S. ended the exemption for New Brunswick.

A U.S. lumber group argued that the province's 2014 forestry plan was leading to more and more wood exports from publicly owned Crown land that it considered subsidized.

It also cited a 2008 report by New Brunswick's auditor general that the provincial wood market was "not truly an open market."

     In a written statement, New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs urged Ottawa and Washington to get back to the negotiating table to find a solution to rising softwood lumber duties on Canadian exports. (Evan Vucci/The Associated Press)

It said the provincial system for surveying private wood sales to set the rate for government-owned Crown land relied on incomplete and sample sizes in some parts of the province, making it difficult to assess whether the Crown rate reflected market conditions.

Last year Auditor General Kim Adair-MacPherson said the market survey system had improved with "significant improvements in the process and the methodology."

The previous provincial Liberal government of Brian Gallant had hired a Washington-based lobbyist with Republican connections to try to get changes to the duties, but to no avail.

And J.D. Irving volunteered to submit itself to a separate investigation that allowed it to win a lower duty rate than other provincial producers. 

Under U.S. law, duties are reviewed every year, and last year's review led to lower rates. But the 2021 review has raised them again.

     A 2020 decision by the World Trade Organization came down on the side of Canadian lumber producers, but the U.S. maintains the decision was unfair. (The Canadian Press)

This year's review focused on two non-New Brunswick companies, Canfor Corp. and West Fraser Mills Ltd. It set new rates for both companies and set a figure between those two rates to all other Canadian companies.

That applies to J.D. Irving Ltd., Twin Rivers Paper Co. Inc. and many smaller New Brunswick mills.

The September, 2020 WTO ruling said the U.S. was wrong to impose duties in 2017 because the Commerce Department made mistakes calculating benchmark Canadian timber prices used to assess if mills were paying appropriate provincial stumpage fees. 

At the time the Trump administration attacked the ruling as unfair and said it would invoke a WTO appeal process, but that couldn't go forward because Trump was refusing to make U.S. appointments to the appeal body.

So far the Biden administration has not made any appointments either, extending the logjam.

Quebec company says J.D. Irving used access to influence softwood duties

Resolute Forest Products says Irving got favourable treatment after phone call with Trump cabinet secretary

Forestry giant JD. Irving Ltd. has been accused of using personal access to one of former U.S. president Donald Trump's cabinet secretaries to secure favourable treatment from the United States in the ongoing softwood lumber dispute.

Montreal-based Resolute Forest Products said in filings with the U.S. Commerce Department that co-CEO Jim Irving spoke by phone with former secretary Wilbur Ross in  August 2020.

"Following the meeting between Messrs. Ross and Irving, J.D. Irving Ltd. was accepted immediately as the fourth company to be individually reviewed" in the trade investigation, Resolute said in a case brief filed in July.

As a result of the latest review, Irving wood will be subject to a 3.41 per cent countervailing duty, compared to 6.31 for most Canadian firms. Duties raise the price charged to buyers of a product, making it less competitive.

In twin rulings last week on two categories of duties, the Commerce Department rejected the claim that the phone call with Ross played a role in Irving getting to plead its case separately.

"Resolute's suspicion that our selection of J.D. Irving was the result of the owner of J.D. Irving gaining access to the Secretary of Commerce, while Resolute did not, is untrue," the department wrote in an issues and decision memorandum released Nov. 24.

The department wrote that it wanted to investigate one company from Eastern Canada to ensure "wide geographic coverage" in its review of the countervailing duties.

But it said that "geographic coverage was a relatively unimportant determinant" in the separate anti–dumping review in which Resolute asked to be investigated individually.

Singling out Resolute "would have been a poor allocation of our strained resources," it said.

Resolute complained last July that the department "argues disingenuously that geography does matter for countervailing duty investigations, but not for anti–dumping."

Under U.S. trade law, a company chosen as a "voluntary respondent" gets to present its own sales, cost and subsidy data rather than being lumped into a single category with dozens of other producers.

Irving first used that provision in 2017 to win a lower countervailing duty.

The new duty rates resulted from an annual review of the amounts first set in 2017, when the U.S. ruled that Canadian wood exports into the U.S. were undercutting domestic sales thanks to government subsidies that made them cheaper.

Irving's countervailing duty will be 3.41 per cent, the second-lowest in Canada after Canfor Corp. at 2.42 per cent. Resolute was hit with an 18.07 per cent duty. Most other lumber exports are subject to 6.31 per cent countervailing duties.

In a separate ruling last week, the U.S. raised anti-dumping duties to 11.59 per cent for most Canadian companies including Irving.

That leaves JDI's wood exports subject to a total of 15 per cent in duties, compared to 17.9 for the majority of Canadian mills and 29.66 for Resolute.

Wood from the Atlantic Provinces was historically exempt from such duties, but in 2017 the U.S. included New Brunswick because it decided subsidies had reached too high a level.

Since then, the duties have been subject to annual retroactive reviews. This year's review was based on 2019 data.

J.D. Irving did not respond to a request for comment on Resolute's claim.

According to an Aug. 14, 2020 memorandum filed online, the phone call between Irving and Ross took place two days earlier, at 2:30 p.m.

Ross and four other Commerce Department officials were on the call with Jim Irving and Ross Langley, JDI's executive vice-president.

Ross, second on the right of easel, was an invited guest at JDI's job announcement in Macon, Ga., in 2017. (JD Irving Ltd.)

It wasn't the first contact between JDI and Ross.

In 2017, Ross was a special guest when co-CEO Robert Irving announced plans for a new $400 million US tissue plant the company would build in Macon, Georgia.

Ross sat next to Jim Irving at the event and joked about JDI's success with the crowd.

"Their long term perspective is nothing to sneeze at," said Ross. "But if you do have to sneeze, please use a Scottie tissue," a brand Irving owns the rights for in the U.S.

Not the only example

Several Washington heavy-hitters have also gone to bat for JDI in other trade cases.

Public records showed in 2015 that two powerful Democratic senators, Chuck Schumer and Heidi Heitkamp, asked the administration to go easy on Irving when applying duties on supercalendered paper made at the company's Saint John mill.

Heitkamp, who represented North Dakota, "expressed her concern" that punishing Irving might harm JDI's agricultural business in her state. 

A third Democratic senator, Joe Manchin of West Virginia, called a Commerce Department official "on behalf of" J.D. Irving Ltd., according to documents. The company had not "done anything wrong," Manchin said.

And then-Maine Governor Paul LePage wrote the Obama administration arguing Irving should be given a chance to make its case. JDI employed 1,200 people in Maine in 2015.

Sen. Chuck Schumer spoke in support of JDI in 2015, one of several examples of U.S. politicians who have done so in recent years. (Erin Scott/Reuters)

In 2017 JDI executive Jerome Pelletier said the company maintains an "open channel of communication with different stakeholders in the United States … to ensure we're represented properly" in Washington.

He said that was done in conjunction with other mills as part of the New Brunswick Lumber Producers, a group set up to fight the U.S. trade action.

As part of this year's review, the New Brunswick government urged the U.S. to "reassess" its finding that N.B. Power's Large Industrial Renewable Energy Purchase Program amounts to a subsidy for six large pulp and paper mills, including three owned by Irving.

The province argued that the World Trade Organization ruled last year against "key portions" of the American findings about the energy buy-back program.

The arrangement requires N.B. Power pay the mills elevated prices for renewable energy they generate, then sell it back to them at a discount.

The Commerce Department said it had not changed its mind about that being a subsidy.

"Because N.B. Power works backwards from the target discount, the program guarantees that the target discount is reached each month by adjusting the volume of N.B. Power's purchases of electricity from the participating Irving companies," says last week's ruling.

"In other words, N.B. Power has determined in advance the amount of credits it wishes to give the participating Irving companies."

The U.S. noted that WTO rulings are "without effect" under U.S. law until an appeal process has unfolded and a formal report is issued.

The WTO's appeal process has been frozen because Trump refused to appoint Americans to the body, and President Joe Biden is doing the same.

Senior VP Jacques Vachon set to retire after 36 years with Resolute



Resolute Forest Products’ senior vice-president of corporate affairs, Jacques P. Vachon, has announced his intention to retire at the end of 2021 after more than 36 years with the eastern Canada forestry company.

Vachon, who is also Resolute’s chief legal officer, began his career as a lawyer at the company’s offices in Quebec City. He has been a member of the executive team for nearly 25 years.

“On behalf of the board and the executive team, past and present, I want to thank Jacques for his many years of loyal service to the company,” Remi G. Lalonde, president and chief executive officer of Resolute, said in a news release. “As an executive, he has been the guardian of this company’s moral compass for decades. We all join to wish him a happy, healthy and well-deserved retirement. Jacques has agreed to serve as a special advisor to me on a part-time basis for the next year.”

Stephanie Leclaire, Resolute’s vice-president for legal affairs for the past 15 years, has been tapped as Vachon’s replacement.

Stephanie Leclaire

“I’m thrilled to welcome Stephanie Leclaire to the executive team. She has outstanding credentials and, as our vice president for legal affairs for nearly 15 years, her experience covers the full range of practice areas, including transactional, governance, litigation, commercial and public policy. She is equal parts brilliant lawyer and practical businessperson, and, as such, there is no better candidate to succeed Jacques as our next senior vice president for corporate affairs and chief legal officer,” Lalonde said.

Leclaire’s resume includes private practice for the law firms of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP in New York and Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP in Paris.

She received bachelor’s degrees in civil and common law from Université de Montréal and Osgoode Hall Law School of York University, as well as a master of laws from New York University School of Law.

David,

Please give me two sentences about what you are trying to convey. Thus
far, I understand that you are protesting the fact that the witness
testimony from the 2003 hearing on mutual fund fees has disappeared
from the internet or senate sites.

I can find a transcript of the hearing’s oral testimony and
questioning. (https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CHRG-108shrg92686/html/CHRG-108shrg92686.htm
<https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CHRG-108shrg92686/html/CHRG-108shrg92686.htm>)
But you seem to be saying that testimony submitted for the record is
no longer available.

Linda

> Meet the gatekeeper to the National Governors Association
> By Reid Wilson - 02/21/18 06:00 AM EST
>
> When the nation’s governors meet this weekend in Washington, Scott
> Pattison will be their gatekeeper.
>
> In his third year as head of the National Governors Association (NGA),
> Pattison has launched a new initiative aimed at attracting a more
> international audience to the annual gathering. This year, governors
> will hear from Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and Nana
> Akufo-Addo, the president of Ghana.
>
> Pattison sat down with The Hill to talk about the importance of
> state-international relationships, the NGA’s new innovation focus and
> the hot topics governors are talking about. What follows is a lightly
> edited transcript.
>
> This year’s NGA meeting has an international flavor. Why is that?
>
> Pattison: The governors for a while have been telling me that they do
> so much in terms of economic development, and a lot of that involves
> international interaction. You can’t really name a state without some
> major foreign investment that creates jobs. Because of that, it’s a
> great opportunity now for NGA, as part of the many things that we do
> as an association of the governors, to provide them with the ability
> to interact with colleagues or folks from other countries, whether
> it’s business or ambassadors. The more they’re getting to know each
> other and have this interaction, the governors think it’s really
> beneficial for their economic development, for encouraging more
> investment and trade that benefits the residents of their states.
>
> Why do foreign leaders want to interact with a governor?
>
> Pattison: There’s no question that the federal government obviously is
> critically important, but the governors also have such a key role in
> economic development in their state. Internationally, over the years,
> they realize, “Oh, we’ve got to engage the governor.” Because they’re
> going to have the role and the influence and decision-making authority
> as to whether a plant can be expanded, whether or not the community
> colleges are going to offer the types of classes that involve the
> skills they want.
>
> They really want to engage sub-nationally. The governors want that
> interaction, and sub-national is really important to these companies.
>
> What’s the state of the state–federal relationship right now?
>
> Pattison: It’s good, but it’s different. What I’m seeing is a lot of
> interaction between the federal government and governors. What I’m
> seeing is a lot of talking, sharing of information.
>
> How is it different from the Obama years?
>
> Pattison: I sense that there seems to be more of an interest,
> particularly at the federal level, to make sure that they’re engaging
> and hearing from their governors. And that’s a really positive thing.
> There’s probably more behind-the-scenes talking, and I’m not sure
> that’s a bad thing.
>
> Tax reform was the administration’s big first-year success. How is
> that changing state priorities?
>
> Pattison: What I hear governors say is they’re in the process of
> trying to forecast what kind of impact it will be for them. They’ve
> told me that what they need to do is to be able to forecast short term
> and long term. Last time, in ’86, you saw a big short-term bump for a
> lot of states, but then it kind of flattened. They don’t want to have
> a one-time only benefit.
>
> What else are governors talking about? What’s the new hot trend?
>
> Pattison: Health care continues to be a big issue, but not necessarily
> just [the Affordable Care Act]. For governors, health care involves so
> many aspects of price, concerns about access, premium charges for
> different residents. For them, it’s a lot bigger than the ACA.
>
> On infrastructure, there continues to be a concern about how do we
> shape something that’s a true federal–state partnership that involves
> sufficient resources to maintain and build infrastructure.
>
> You just launched NGA Future, a new initiative on innovation. What’s its goal?
>
> Pattison: Since we’re the association of all the governors, we want to
> be the group that’s giving them a heads-up of the type of technology
> that’s really going to have a major impact on states, two years, five
> years, within their four- to eight-year terms. I think it’s going to
> be really exciting to be talking about, OK, looks like autonomous
> vehicles are coming down the pike — is that a pun?  — and how should
> you deal with that?
>
> One of the areas you’re starting to hear about, and I think governors
> are interested in, is more and more data. You can pretty much
> pinpoint, not necessarily in real time but pretty close, Tamiflu
> prescriptions through Medicaid and health insurance. So you can say
> the amount of Tamiflu prescriptions in this county has shot through
> the roof, but it’s not happening elsewhere. So you can swoop down in
> that county and try to isolate the flu. There are so many innovative
> things technologically that we want governors and government more
> generally to think about — how can you use this to be more efficient,
> to save money?

>
> Fredericton – Mike Legere, Executive Director of Forest NB, offered

>
> “On behalf of the member companies of Forest NB, I would like to
> extend our gratitude to Minister Landry in taking a?prudent approach
> to moving the proposed Crown land forest strategy to realization. We
> think he has represented the interests of New Brunswickers very well

>
> Legere added, “Forest NB is confident that Landry’s successor, the
> Hon.?Rick Doucet?will move to support the full?adoption of the forest
> management strategy whose benefits have already been realized. Over
> 500 jobs have been created with investments of over $500 million
> including a recent $12 million investment by Twin Rivers Paper this
> week in their Madawaska operation.”
>
> It was encouraging at a recent Opportunities Summit held by the
> provincial government to hear Mr. Doucet, the former minister of
> Economic Development, speak of business productivity and innovation
> including the forest industry in the province.
>
> “The forestry sector in New Brunswick punches well above its weight
> when it comes to forest management. In New Brunswick, our
> managed?Forests, on a per hectare basis, annually out-produce the
> national average by almost three times in terms of growth and yield.
> This is a solid example of our natural competitive advantage in forest
> renewal and the knowledge based resources that work behind the scenes
> to keep us competitive,” Legere said.
>
> Legere also notes that Forest NB is pleased to see Minister Donald
> Arsenault, who is responsible for Madawaska-Restigouche, take charge
> of the Intergovernmental Affairs?portfolio.
>
> “Mr. Arsenault is an able and experienced minister who we believe can
> advocate on behalf of all concerned New Brunswickers?as we seek
> federal support for increased investment in New Brunswick forests,
> particularly in silviculture,” Legere said. “We believe this will help
> stage New Brunswick’s long term contribution to climate change by
> sequestering more carbon emissions in our forests. The additional
> benefit of?investment in silviculture would?be the immediate creation
> of some three hundred silviculture related jobs and securing existing
> employment.”

Good afternoon Ms Mitchell,

Please do not take this email the wrong way. I have the greatest of
respect for you but as you well know I cannot say the same of your
bosses. I know you are very busy doing your job within the hearing so
this email will have to do. Byway of the news in CBC today it appears
that you may be busy for quite sometime with this matter. More
importantly the spin the CBC is putting on this matter is offending me
greatly and obviously their bosses know it as well..Such are the
actions of a fierce but ethical politcal animal.

'It will take the time that it takes': NB Power rate hearing way behind schedule
Deep dives into smart meters, efficiency programs prolong what was a
12-day proceeding
By Robert Jones, CBC News Posted: Feb 21, 2018 6:00 AM AT

"It will take the time that it takes," said Beaulieu on day three of
the hearing when NB Power lawyer John Furey first raised concerns
matters were falling behind schedule.

Several self-represented participants have been taking turns
questioning NB Power's plans on an equal footing with lawyers hired by
companies, like J.D. Irving Ltd. and Enbridge Gas New Brunswick, and
municipal utilities like Saint John Energy.

Gently guided on proper procedure by Beaulieu, non-professional
participants have had free rein to have a say.

Anti-smart meter activist and St. Louis de Kent dentist Roger Richard,
left, and environmentalist Daniel LeBlanc spent hours questioning NB
Power witnesses. (Robert Jones/CBC NEWS)

Those participants include environmentalist Chris Rouse, anti-smart
meter activist and St. Louis de Kent dentist Roger Richard and
political hopeful Gerald Bourque, the leader of the fledgling KISS
N.B. Political Party.

They've been able to submit evidence, call witnesses and cross-examine
NB Power executives and others and make motions.

NB Power deadline in jeopardy

On day five, Beaulieu told environmentalist Daniel LeBlanc, who is
working with Richard, to take as long as he needed to get full answers
to questions from NB Power witnesses.

"If you feel that your questions are not answered — you have the
floor, so it's your right to ask your question again if you feel the
panel members are not responding to your questions," he said.

"Thank you," said LeBlanc, who went on to ask questions for three and
a half hours."


My obvious question today is why is there such a long delay in the
public getting the chance to read the transcript of the one and only
Public Session? When we last spoke the lady sitting beside you told me
it was almost done, so why has it not been filed in the public record?

I am sorry but I no longer consider my concern about this issue
confidential because something is smelling rather fishy and I must
make my indignation well know not only for my benefit but the public
as a whole. However I also know it is not your fault that the
transcript of the Public Session was not file I blame the Board, its
lawyers and their politcal puppet masters. Obviously I made certian
the Ms. Desmond and Mr Young know it. The lawyers are all well aware
of Section 300 of the Canadian Criminal Code and why I am preparing to
sue them because the RCMP won't do their job. Hence no transcript of
the Public Session Correct Ms Desomond?

During our last converation you told me you could no longer file
anything from me and I understood.  Need I say that I regret telling
you not to file the rest of this email and its attachments so I
published them myself?

Best Regards
David Raymond Amos

Hey Ricky

Remember me?

As Minister you must have been made aware of the submissions put
before the NBEUB Matter No 375 on October30th, 2017 by Ms. Harrison of
NB Power.

http://www.nbeub.ca/opt/M/browserecord.php?-action=browse&-recid=560

If not you are now. Correct?

Are you aware of all the malicious allegations against me by Mr. Furey
a former Assistant Attorney General of New Brunswick during a public
hearing the following day? If not the transcript of the aforesaid
hearing is hereto attached in order that you can never claim that you
and many others were not duly informed of my concerns of the malice
practiced against by a Crown Corp, as for this date. Correct?

With regards the other two document hereto attached and the text of
the forwarded emails, trust that I have been in contact with the U.S.
Commerce Dept. and many others about my concerns with NB Power for
quite some time.

Veritas Vincit
David Raymond Amos

8. New Brunswick Large Industrial Renewable Energy Purchase Program

The New Brunswick Department of Energy and Resource Development (DERD)
and New Brunswick Power (NB Power), a Crown corporation, administers
the Large Industrial Renewable Energy Purchase Program (LIREPP)
pursuant to the Electricity from Renewable Resources Regulation and
with authority under the Electricity Act. According to the GNB, the
program has two main objectives: (1) reach NB Power’s mandate to
supply 40 percent of its electricity from renewable sources by 2020 by
buying energy from large industrial customers; and (2) bring large
industrial enterprises’ net electricity costs in line with the average
cost of electricity in other provinces.

The LIREPP program is available to any large industrial company that
produces renewable energy and owns and operates a facility that has an
electrical energy requirement of not less than 50 GWh per year, that
obtains all or a portion of its electricity on a firm basis (vs.
interruptible basis) from NB Power, and that exports at least 50
percent of its primary products produced to another province or
territory within Canada or outside the country. There is no formal
application process. Despite LIREPP participation being available to
all large industrial users, the GNB has reported that there are a
small number of users of the program and that all companies
participating in LIREPP operate within the pulp and paper industry.

Under the LIREPP program, NB Power first determines the credit it
wants to give the large industrial customer, such as Irving; NB Power
then works backwards to build up to that credit through a series of
renewable energy power purchases and sales and additional credits.
This overall credit is known as “Net LIREPP” or the “Net LIREPP
adjustment,” and it appears on the participating customers’
electricity bill as a credit applicable to their total electricity
charges. Irving reported that it participated in the LIREPP program
and received a Net LIREPP credit on each of its monthly electricity
bills. Irving’s receipt of the LIREPP credit is recorded in its
accounting system as a rebate.

According to the GNB, DERD performs a calculation to determine the
Canadian average firm energy rate (in $/MWh) for the relevant
industries, and then calculates the difference between that rate and
the average firm energy rate in New Brunswick. This differential is
annually calculated as a percentage. This percentage, known as the
Target Reduction Percent, is the amount by which NB Power reduces the
total electricity costs for LIREPP participants. When the Target
Reduction Percent is multiplied by the LIREPP participant’s firm
energy usage it yields the Target Discount. The Target Discount is the
amount by which NB Power reduces the electricity bill of the LIREPP
participant.

We preliminarily determine that the LIREPP program provides a
financial contribution in the form of revenue foregone, as described
under section 771(5)(D)(ii) of the Act. We further preliminarily
determine that the Net LIREPP credits provided under the program
confer a benefit within the meaning of section 771(5)(E) of the Act
because Irving received a credit from the GNB to offset its
electricity costs. We also preliminary determine that this program is
de facto specific under section 775(5A)(D)(iii)(I) because the actual
recipients of the subsidy are limited in number.

Because this program provides benefits on a recurring basis, to
calculate the benefit from the electricity credits that Irving
received under the LIREPP program, we summed the total amount of
energy subsidies reported by Irving during the POR. We divided this
total by the appropriate sales denominator.On this basis we
preliminarily determine the countervailable subsidy for Irving to be
1.58 percent ad valorem.

I must say I find it very interesting that the Irvings would employ
the local law firm of Cox & Palmer to take on the Feds with a
constitutional challenge and yet in the very same court the Empire
strikes using the fancy law firm McCarthy Tétrault from Upper Canada
to sue the Private Woodot Owners Association in Southern New
Brunswick. Go Figure.

Methinks something smells rotten in New Brunswick and its far more
than the wild life that the Empire has been killing for years.
Methinks the stink is coming from all the old farts called Queen's
Counsels and the politicians who took an oath to the same Queen. The
Irving Empire is the result of their malevolent actions but the
lawyers. banksters and the politicians assisting them are the true
source of all our woes

@Mark Murphy

"The farms along the Saint John River system are more detrimental to
the rive as a whole We used to be able to drink clear water out of
Washademoak Lake and Grand Lake 35 years ago."

Farms along the river have been there long before your great
grandfather's time. The farmers did us no harm as they about the
business of feeding us.

Could the fact that we can't drink the water anymore be because of the
run off of all the crap NATO buried in Base Gagetown or the crap
sprayed on our forests and farms for the benefit of corporations such
as Monsanto and the Irving Empire?

"what comes out of that Mill is a hell of a lot cleaner today the it
was 60 years ago"

That ain't saying much in your buddy Irving's defense. I suspect it
would be a hell of a lot worse if it were not for the environmental
laws put in place over the same sixty years. Now the Irvings want to
argue the environmental laws etc with a Charter challenge because they
don't like having armed DFO people storm their offices or paying
fines? Yea Right not on my watch.

@Mark Murphy Nope not by a long shot. I have been screaming for years
that we should just take all the pensioners money that John Sinclair
and his pals are playing with and pay off nearly all our debt to Frank
McKenna's Bankster buddies. Then honour our commitment to the retirees
out of general funds after that.

Is that too hard to understand? The Irving minion Blaine Higgs and the

Methinks you hit the nail on the head. Politicians know that Irving
lawyers whom I call dumb and dumber ain't got a prayer of pulling this
nonsense off on behalf of their greedy client because it they did win
a lot of politicians would be run out of office.

However I have no doubt whatsoever that the lawyers will be happy to
argue this matter all the way to the Supreme Court and lose because
they will bill the Hell out of the Irvings for their oh so precious
time and legal expertise. Trust that I will love the circus.

@William Roberts I have crossed paths with both Browser and Livesey

humble opinion they are part of the controlled opposition just like
your friend in the New Brunswick Conservation Council. I labelled them
as the Green Meanies and the NDP and the liberals as the Fake Left
long ago. At least the Conservatives do not fake right.

@David Raymond Amos With reference to the upcoming legal argument with
the Crown. Methinks I should inform the folks who truly care that New
Brunswick does not have a constitution. Hence we must rely on the
Federal Charter. With that fact in mind methinks the Irving's lawyers
may have filed their "Charter Challenge" in the wrong court. At least
this a law N'esy Pas?

http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/F-7/FullText.html

17 (1) Except as otherwise provided in this Act or any other Act of

Methinks CBC, the Crown, the Conservation Council, the lawyers Helene
Beaulieu and George Cooper know how much the treehugger in me will
enjoy the Irving's Charter challenge

"Content disabled."
@David Raymond Amos With reference to the upcoming legal argument with
the Crown. Methinks I should inform the folks who truly care that New
Brunswick does not have a constitution. Hence we must rely on the
Federal Charter. With that fact in mind methinks the Irving's lawyers
may have filed their "Charter Challenge" in the wrong court. At least
this a law N'esy Pas?

http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/F-7/FullText.html

Jurisdiction of Federal Court
Marginal note:Relief against the Crown
17 (1) Except as otherwise provided in this Act or any other Act of
Parliament, the Federal Court has concurrent original jurisdiction in
all cases in which relief is claimed against the Crown.

Marginal note:Cases
(2) Without restricting the generality of subsection (1), the Federal
Court has concurrent original jurisdiction, except as otherwise
provided, in all cases in which

(a) the land, goods or money of any person is in the possession of the Crown;

Be I be mistaken or not at least the Irving lawyers and the Crown
cannot deny that a layman is practicing the spirit of full disclosure.
Correct?

I guess the above link is an exercise in creative writing. Irving's
moral compass only points towards money. I didn't see any reference to
this story in the Gleaner yesterday.


David Raymond Amos
@Mike Morton Methinks you have shown us a perfect example of
"Doublespeak" a word George Orwell coined long before I was born.

In 2004 I had no doubt whatsoever Orwell's ghost and those of my those
of my Conservative forefathers agreed with me when I called the
Liberal control of the CBC and the Irving Empire's control of the
media in New Brunswick "Newspeak"

Wilbur Ross Remained on Chinese Joint Venture Board While Running U.S.-China Trade War

Chinese documents show that the U.S. commerce secretary did not successfully step down from all his corporate commitments.

Wilbur Ross Held Chinese Board Position Until 2019

Wilbur Ross, an investor-turned-U.S. commerce secretary, has long been accused of ethical violations because of his failure to extricate himself from his business ties. Documents obtained by Foreign Policy show that Ross’s potential conflicts of interest around Chinese business are greater than previously known.

In Chinese corporate documents obtained by Foreign Policy, Ross is listed as serving on the board of a Chinese joint venture until January 2019—nearly two years into his term as commerce secretary. That joint venture, now called Huaneng Invesco WLR (Beijing) Investment Fund Management Co., is an investment partnership formed in September 2008 between Huaneng Capital Services, the U.S. management company Invesco, and a firm Ross founded, WL Ross & Co. Huaneng Capital Services is an arm of China Huaneng Group, a major state-owned power producer.

The documents correspond to the information found on Chinese corporate data sites, such as Qichacha and Qixinbao, including the dates of board membership. The documents don’t say if Ross was paid for his board seat or whether there is any current financial relationship between Ross and the joint venture. It’s also unclear if Ross knew that he remained on the board seat: The more recent documents don’t include the signatures or seals of the individual board members. That Chinese documents state Ross was on the board of a Chinese joint venture until 2019 has not been previously reported.

The U.S.-China trade war started heating up in the summer of 2018, as Beijing and Washington levied increasingly onerous tariffs on each other. At the same time as Ross was overseeing the trade war as U.S. commerce secretary, he was still, according to the paperwork, on the board of a joint venture that was a partnership with a Chinese state-owned firm. “Instead of reporting on well-documented facts, including a dated and signed letter of resignation that I provided them, Foreign Policy Magazine is purporting a false narrative that I remained on the board of a Chinese company, citing Chinese documentation,” Ross replied in a statement sent by the U.S. Commerce Department. “It is clear which foreign policies Foreign Policy Magazine actually support and the American public deserves better.”

The letter that Ross provided to Foreign Policy is dated Feb. 27, 2017, marked “Confidential,” and has as its subject line “Re: Resignation from WLR Entities.” In the letter, addressed to WL Ross & Co., Ross writes that he “shall be deemed to have retired, resigned or withdrawn” from every entity affiliated with WL Ross & Co. Ross lists dozens of companies that he claims the letter applies to, including those affiliated with Huaneng. But Chinese corporate law experts consulted by Foreign Policy say that under Chinese law, writing a private letter to a U.S. parent company does not remove one from Chinese corporate boards.

But Chinese corporate law experts consulted by Foreign Policy say that under Chinese law, writing a private letter to a U.S. parent company does not remove one from Chinese corporate boards.
(Invesco, which owns WL Ross & Co., declined to comment for this story.) “The failure to withdraw from the board may have just been an inadvertent slip, but what you said is clearly not a ‘false narrative,’” said Fred Rocafort, an attorney at the international law firm Harris Bricken. “Chinese corporate records establish, without a doubt, that he was officially on the board until February 1, 2019.”

Ross’s position as commerce secretary allowed him to influence the direction of the U.S.-China trade war and America’s global trade policies. While there is no evidence that Ross directly benefited from the joint venture while serving as commerce secretary, entanglements like this have traditionally been seen as potential violations of the national interest. “Public trust demands that all employees act in the public’s interest, and are free from any actual or perceived conflicts when fulfilling the governmental responsibilities entrusted to them,” the then-acting director of the U.S. Office of Government Ethics wrote to Ross in a July 2018 letter, about other inadvertent ethical violations.

On March 20, 2017, less than a month after Ross was confirmed as commerce secretary, the joint venture entered into a partnership with the parent company Huaneng and Taikang Assets Management Co., a subsidiary of the major Chinese insurance firm Taikang. The companies agreed to raise 5 billion RMB ($745 million) to invest in renewable energy projects—a market that Ross had influence over at the Commerce Department and which was directly affected by trade tariffs. Ross’s relationship to the Taikang partnership has not been previously reported. (Taikang Assets and Huaneng didn’t respond to requests for comment. A representative of the Huaneng joint venture, Catherine Han, didn’t respond to requests for comment.)

One set of documents that Foreign Policy obtained, dated March 2018, show that the joint venture filed paperwork stating which of its previous board members would continue to serve on the board. Ross’s name is on that list. Another document, from January 2019, removes Ross from the board and appoints the investor Nadim Qureshi as a new board member. Qureshi served on the board until September 2020. (At the time, Qureshi was a managing partner at WL Ross & Co., according to his LinkedIn profile; he didn’t respond to a request for comment.) The joint venture affixed its seal to the document. Under Chinese law, a seal is generally seen as more official than a signature.

Ross attended a board meeting in September 2012 and signed an agreement with other directors to, among other changes, increase the company’s registered capital to 170 million RMB ($25 million) and its total investment to 510 million RMB ($76 million) and to change the name of the joint venture from Huaneng Invesco WLR Investment Consulting Co. to its current name.

Long bullish about investing in China, Ross and his firm WL Ross & Co., along with Invesco, formed the joint venture to “tap into private equity investments in power generation in China,” the firm said in a 2008 press release. In 2000, Ross founded the private equity firm WL Ross & Co., which focused on distressed assets. He sold the firm to the money manager Amvescap (now Invesco) in 2006.

Ross continued serving as the CEO of Invesco’s private equity groups until joining the government in February 2017. But Ross only sold his shares in Invesco in December 2017—nearly a year into his tenure as commerce secretary. He was supposed to sell his shares, valued between $10 million and $50 million, before the end of May 2017. But the nonprofit Center for Public Integrity found that, because Invesco’s stock rose in the meantime, the delay netted Ross between $1.2 million and $6 million. “I discovered that the previously held stock had not been sold. I then promptly sold these shares,” he later wrote in a disclosure.

Ross has been repeatedly warned about ethics violations. In his December 2016 ethics disclosure forms, Ross disclosed that he was on the board of the Huaneng joint venture, from 2008 until “present.” In March 2018, the nonprofit liberal advocacy group Public Citizen released a report titled “Follow the Money: Did Administration Officials’ Financial Entanglements with China Delay Trump’s Promised Tough-on-China Trade Policy?” The report discusses many of Ross’s alleged conflicts of interest with China, including his relationship with Diamond S Shipping, a Connecticut-headquartered firm that at the time was partially owned by the Chinese government. The report also mentions Ross’s relationship with Huaneng. (In a September 2019 interview with the Washington Post, Ross denied ever having any conflicts of interest while in government.)

In July 2018, the Office of Government Ethics wrote a scathing public letter to Ross, criticizing him for “various omissions and inaccurate statements” in his disclosure forms and compliance documents. “[E]ven inadvertent errors regarding compliance with your ethical obligations can undermine public trust in both you and the overall ethics program,” the letter states. In response, Ross filed an extensive annual financial disclosure report for that year. In February 2019, the director of the Office of Government Ethics refused to certify the report because Ross didn’t sell all his shares in the Florida-based bank BankUnited.

But there was another possible error in Ross’s 2018 financial disclosure report. In the report, Ross claims that he had left the Huaneng joint venture in February 2017. But according to Chinese law, he was still a director of the joint venture until 2019. This error, however inadvertent, on Ross’s financial disclosure report has not been previously reported.

Having close ties with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is seen as a requisite for succeeding in private equity in China, especially in the power sector, which is dominated by well-connected state-owned firms. For example, Li Xiaopeng, the son of former Chinese Premier Li Peng, ran Huaneng from 1999 until the summer of 2008, when he left to become vice governor of the province of Shanxi. He’s now China’s transportation minister. Of the five other people who the documents show served on the board with Ross from 2018 to 2019, at least two are members of the CCP, according to their bios on a Chinese corporate registry site.

Invesco’s press release about the joint venture has been removed from its website, but it’s still available on the Wayback Machine, a nonprofit digital web archive. “This unique collaboration,” Ross said in the release, benefits from the “skillsets and relationships of a powerful Chinese partner, one of the largest state-owned enterprises.” And it represents, he added, “living proof of the financial and intellectual interconnectedness of two of the world’s great powers, China and the United States.”

Wolastoqey chiefs add forestry companies to title claim case

Wolastoqey chiefs add forestry companies to title claim case

Legal win would let harvesting continue with Indigenous approval

 
Jacques Poitras· CBC News ·

Wolastoqey chiefs in New Brunswick are shifting their Aboriginal title claim case to pursue the province's largest forestry companies in a bid to reclaim title to much of their traditional territory.

The six chiefs have amended the legal claim they filed last year to add J.D. Irving Ltd. and its subsidiaries, Twin Rivers Paper, the A.V. Group, Acadian Timber and H.J. Crabbe and Sons.

They say the companies operate on about 20 per cent of the more than five million hectares the chiefs identify as Wolastoqey traditional lands in New Brunswick.

                                 The Wolastoqey say the J.D. Irving Ltd. companies and subsidiaries operate on about 20 per cent of the more than five million hectares the chiefs identify as Wolastoqey traditional lands in New Brunswick. (submitted Wolastoqey Nation of New Brunswick)

"They are the largest landowners in New Brunswick, and they have had a history of getting land from the province without paying a fair price for it," Chief Patricia Bernard of the Wolastoqey Nation of Matawaskiye (Madawaska) said at a news conference.

"That is our land that the province gave away for a song. We want back what is ours, that was never theirs to give."

The change to the lawsuit puts the legal action on two tracks, seeking compensation from governments for the loss of some parts of the territory, but claiming ownership of the parts used by industry.

"Aboriginal title on the traditional lands ... does not seek to displace regular New Brunswickers from their homes and farms," the chiefs say in a news release.

But winning clear recognition of title for land used by industry would make the Wolastoqey landlords and give them final say in how the companies harvest wood there. They would also be able to receive some or all of the royalties that now go to government.

A ruling in favour of the Wolastoqey Nation would allow forestry to continue, said the release, "as long as corporations had an agreement with the Nation over activities on their land."

The chiefs say the case could take a decade or more to go through the courts, so it's too early to say what kind of forest management system they might put in place if they win.

But they say getting a share of the revenue from harvesting is overdue.

"These are our resources. They were never ceded through treaty and we're not the ones generating wealth off them," said Chief Ross Perley of Wolastoqey Nation at Neqotkuk, also known as Tobique First Nation.

"Companies in the province have been accumulating wealth from our resources for the last hundred years. We feel that it's our turn to get our share of wealth and make our communities sustainable."

Chief Patricia Bernard of the Matawaskiye (Madawaska) First Nation (Jacques Poitras/CBC)

N.B. Power is also named in the claim — the only non-forestry industry player identified. In the utility's case, the Wolastoqey First Nations could claim revenue from its generation and sales of electricity.

The new claim replaces the one filed last year. The new version keeps the federal and New Brunswick governments as defendants.

Last month, the Higgs government ordered government employees to stop making public land acknowledgements that the province sits on unsurrendered and unceded Indigenous territory.

At the time Attorney-General Ted Flemming said the acknowledgements might compromise the province's position in the land-claim case and implied that the Wolastoqiyik wanted to take back all of their traditional territory.

Bernard called that "clearly an attempt to deceive and create fear amongst New Brunswickers."

She said that's why the claim has been amended to make clear "the rights of everyday New Brunswickers will not be impacted" by the claim.

The claim is based on Peace and Friendship treaties signed by the Wolastoqiyik and the British Crown between 1725 and 1778.

The chiefs say those agreements did not provide for the surrender of any land.

Higgs says private citizens' property rights could be jeopardized by Wolastoqey lawsuit

Chief Patricia Bernard calls premier's stance fear-mongering, says 'we're not going after New Brunswickers'

 
Rachel Cave· CBC News ·
Premier Blaine Higgs, seen in a file photo, said Wednesday that the revised claim creates 'tremendous uncertainty' for individuals buying land or building a business. (Government of New Brunswick)

Premier Blaine Higgs says a revised Aboriginal title claim filed in the Court of Queen's Bench could impact some of the basic principles society runs on.

At a news conference held Wednesday afternoon, Higgs and Natural Resources Minister Mike Holland voiced concerns about the revised claim.

Higgs said the claim creates "tremendous uncertainty" for individuals buying land or building a business in terms of being sure of "the assets they actually own."

"Never before has a claim of this nature attempted to take control of land that is privately owned," he said.

The original lawsuit, which asks the courts for clear title to 60 per cent of New Brunswick's landmass, was filed a year ago.

But on Tuesday, Wolastoqey chiefs announced that J.D. Irving Ltd. and four other forestry companies, as well as N.B. Power, have been added as defendants.

The chiefs say those companies benefit from "sweetheart deals" that were made with the province on territory that was never surrendered by the Wolastoqey Nation.

Natural Resources Minister Mike Holland said the lawsuit could hurt New Brunswick's $2-billion forestry industry and one of the province's top exports.

"The strength of this sector keeps food on the table for one in 14 New Brunswickers whose jobs are linked to the health and growth in this sector," said Holland.

The chiefs have said they don't aim to seek compensation directly from the forestry companies.

But if their claim succeeds and they become the landlords, they would negotiate new deals and have a say in how the forests are managed.

Holland said the government is still trying to understand how that could impact the entire economy.

"It's your neighbour who owns a harvester," he said. "It's the private woodlot owner that's working to move their product through the supply chain. It's also the small mill that makes value-added products that employ local men and women all throughout the province."

'This is fear-mongering,' chief says

Patricia Bernard, chief of the Madawaska First Nation, had predicted Tuesday that Higgs would try to scare New Brunswickers into going against the claim.

After the news conference, she told reporters the government was fear-mongering, and she wasn't surprised.  

"This is not a land claim," Bernard said. "This is an Aboriginal title declaration."

"The only thing that we're seeking back is the land from these corporations, not a land claim for our traditional territory."

Bernard also emphasized that point on Tuesday, when she assured residents that the chiefs are not coming for the homes and farms of ordinary New Brunswickers. 

"Let me speak for a minute to New Brunswickers who have homes on our traditional lands and who rightfully have many questions about this development," she said.

"While we are seeking title to our territory, the Wolastoqey Nation does not want to displace you from your homes."

She noted that "the only private landowners we are trying to get land back from are these six: J.D. Irving Ltd., AV Group, Acadian Timber, Twin Rivers Paper. H.J Crabbe and Sons, and N.B. Power.

"If you're not one of these companies, you have nothing to worry about."

Bernard admitted Wednesday that title claims can be confusing but said it's a legal principle that the province needs to better understand,

"Our intent is not to bankrupt this province," she said. "That would be ludicrous."

Asked if the claim was worth a trillion dollars, Bernard declined to put a price tag on it.

She said some of the details will be worked out in the courts but that she expects the matter could take a decade or more to go to trial.

N.B. employees told to stop making Indigenous title acknowledgments, but won't face repercussions if they do

Staff told to instead use approved acknowledgement that excludes words 'unceded' and 'unsurrendered'

 
Hadeel Ibrahim, Aidan Cox· CBC News ·
In a leaked memo, New Brunswick Attorney General Ted Flemming said 'legal counsel for [the Government of New Brunswick] and the Office of the Attorney General has advised that GNB employees may not make or issue territorial or title acknowledgements.' (Joe McDonald/CBC)

New Brunswick's Attorney General Ted Flemming says provincial employees will not face repercussions if they don't follow a new directive to stop making First Nations title acknowledgements. 

Flemming issued a memo with the directive Thursday, a move he said was provoked by legal actions against the government involving Indigenous rights and land titles. Instead, the memo said employees must only use an "ancestral acknowledgement" approved by the provincial government's protocol office. 

Speaking to media Friday afternoon, Flemming said provincial employees operating outside the scope of their employment are "free individuals in a free society and a free country."

"There's not going to be any acknowledgement police or anything else like that. I mean, good grief, there would be none of that."

In recent years, land acknowledgements have become a regular practice across Canada to open public events and ceremonies. In New Brunswick, they typically recognize the Wolastoqiyik, Mi'kmaq or Peskotomuhkati, depending on where the acknowledgement is being made, and often indicate an event is taking place on unceded territory.

Flemming said the province was "forced" to take this position after a title claim was filed by Wolastoqey nations in 2020.

The claim alleges the province is not upholding the Peace and Friendship Treaties signed in what is now Maine, New Hampshire, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia between 1725 and 1779. According to the federal department of Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada, "Aboriginal peoples did not surrender rights to land or resources" in those treaties.

Flemming said he sent the memo because whether the land is unceded or not is still "unresolved."

Not allowed to say 'unceded,''unsurrendered

"As you may be aware, the Government of New Brunswick (GNB) is currently involved in a number of legal actions which have been initiated by certain First Nations against the province, including a claim to ownership and title to over 60% of the Province," read Flemming's leaked memo, which was later verified by a provincial spokesperson.

"As a result of this litigation, legal counsel for GNB and the Office of the Attorney General has advised that GNB employees may not make or issue territorial or title acknowledgements.

"This includes the use of territorial acknowledgements at meetings and events, in documents, and in email signatures."

Flemming wrote it may still be "desirable" to make an "ancestral acknowledgement," which is provided at the bottom of the memo: "We (I) respectfully acknowledge the territory in which we gather as the ancestral homelands of the Wolastoqey, Mi'gmaw and Peskotomuhkati peoples. We strive for respectful relationships with all the peoples of this province as we search for collective healing and true reconciliation and honour this beautiful land together."

"Please note the absence of terms such as 'unceded' or 'unsurrendered,'" Flemming wrote.

After Premier Blaine Higgs was re-elected in 2020, a land acknowledgement read by Lieutenant-Governor Brenda Murphy at the throne speech did not include the terms "unceded" and "unsurrendered" and consisted of one line: "We gather today on the ancestral territory of our Indigenous people."

The terms were also missing from Higgs's speech on opening day of the Assembly of First Nations' 40th annual General Assembly in Fredericton in 2019.

Flemming said Friday afternoon he had "never" used the words "unceded" and "unsurrendered" in his remarks since the claim was filed in 2020. He also said he would not police what teachers say in class, even though they're provincial employees.

'It's so disrespectful'

Oromocto First Nation Chief Shelley Sabattis said land title acknowledgements are an important part of recognizing that New Brunswick sits on land that was never surrendered to Europeans when they arrived and settled. She thinks Flemming's memo is a slap in the face to First Nations people.

"We were here since time immemorial," Sabattis said. "We were always here, and to be pushed aside and to be taken over to follow a more dominant society or more dominant culture, it just seems … ridiculous. It's like, it's so disrespectful."

Last year, Oromocto, along with five other Wolastoqey First Nations, filed a lawsuit with the province asserting title to their traditional lands along the St. John River, also known as the Wolastoq. 

The claim covers about half the province and is ostensibly the same one Flemming was referring to.

The Wolastoqey Nation in New Brunswick, a group representing six Wolastoqey chiefs, released a statement decrying the memo.

"We were forced to file a title claim because our rights continue to be ignored by GNB. Now, in response to this, the Province seeks to further trample our rights and erase us from the history of this province," the chiefs said in the statement.

The chiefs said their unceded Aboriginal title in the province of New Brunswick is a "historical fact that the provincial government is simply going to have to come to terms with."

"The Wolastoqey Nation is not seeking the return of all of the land in its traditional territory through the title claim," they said. "We made it very clear when giving the Crown notice of our claim in October 2020 that we were not looking to displace homeowners in New Brunswick."

Sabattis said she's already heard from provincial workers considering what they should do in response.

"My suggestion is just to keep on doing it, keep on acknowledging the proper acknowledgement. It is unceded, for one, and it's unsurrendered. That's what's unique about New Brunswick, or the Maritimes, even."

Mi'kmaw chiefs question negotiations with province

The six leaders said Higgs's track record shows "his unilateral decision making without any Indigenous input."

"His disdain for our people bears out in the government's refusal to conduct a public inquiry into systemic racism, his shredding of our tax agreements, his aversion to implementing any of the 94 Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission."

The province did not make the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation a provincial holiday. Higgs also pulled out of a 10-year tax-sharing agreement, calling it "unfair." 

After two First Nations people were killed at the hands of police within two weeks last year, the province did not answer calls for an inquiry into the justice system's treatment of Indigeous people, instead appointing an independent commissioner to address systemic racism against all groups.

Mi'gmawe'l Tplu'taqnn Inc., the group representing the Mi'kmaw chiefs, said in a statement that while Wolastoqey nations are litigating title claim to 60 per cent of the land, 100 per cent of the land New Brunswick falls on is unceded.

"While the Mi'gmaq communities we represent have not filed a claim in court, we have entered into negotiations with the Province regarding recognition and implementation of our Aboriginal rights and title," the chiefs said.

"Unfortunately, this memo has us questioning whether the Province is negotiating in good faith, and whether these negotiations are even worth pursuing."

Legal expert questions authority of order  

Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, a law professor at the University of British Columbia says the order set out in the memo appears to be legally unnecessary and could potentially undermine the opportunity for meaningful reconciliation with New Brunswick First Nations.

"First of all this, this is not an appropriate approach," said Turpel-Lafond, also a director of UBC's Residential School History and Dialogue Centre.

Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, a law professor at the University of British Columbia, said the directive issued by Flemming appears to be legally unnecessary. (Submitted by Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond)

"Indigenous people in New Brunswick are entitled to assert their rights in the courts," she said. "What a public servant says or doesn't say by way of a greeting at a meeting is not going to be evidence that's going to sway and determine that."

Turpel-Lafond also questioned whether Flemming really has the authority to dictate what provincial employees can and can't say.

"I mean, that smacks to me like something that could touch upon racial discrimination and be, you know, quite harmful and not particularly culturally safe for the Indigenous employees in the government of New Brunswick."

Senior Federal Court judge under fire for objections to Indigenous principles and land acknowledgments – The Globe and Mail

by ahnationtalk onJune 14, 2021

A senior judge of the Federal Court of Canada has strongly objected to showing respect for Indigenous people by acknowledging their unceded traditional lands in courtroom proceedings, a common practice at the Supreme Court of Canada as well as government and corporate events.

Justice Richard Bell was also critical of the Mi’kmaq concept known as “two-eyed seeing,” which encourages courts and other Canadian institutions to examine environmental and social issues from both Indigenous and Western perspectives.

Justice Bell made the remarks while hearing a judicial review case in Halifax in late May, challenging the federal government for failing to properly assess the risks of exploratory drilling for oil and gas off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador. Sierra Club Canada, World Wildlife Fund and Ecology Action Centre were urging the court to quash a ruling by Ottawa to exempt the drilling from an environmental assessment.

Senior Federal Court judge under fire for objections to Indigenous principles and land acknowledgments

Robert Fife
Ottawa Bureau Chief
Published June 13, 2021
 

A senior judge of the Federal Court of Canada has strongly objected to showing respect for Indigenous people by acknowledging their unceded traditional lands in courtroom proceedings, a common practice at the Supreme Court of Canada as well as government and corporate events.

Justice Richard Bell was also critical of the Mi’kmaq concept known as “two-eyed seeing,” which encourages courts and other Canadian institutions to examine environmental and social issues from both Indigenous and Western perspectives.

Justice Bell made the remarks while hearing a judicial review case in Halifax in late May, challenging the federal government for failing to properly assess the risks of exploratory drilling for oil and gas off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador. Sierra Club Canada, World Wildlife Fund and Ecology Action Centre were urging the court to quash a ruling by Ottawa to exempt the drilling from an environmental assessment.

“Aren’t we being a bit stereotypical toward the European version of the world in this two-eyed vision?” Justice Bell asked when the concept was raised in court. “Well, I don’t think my forebearers were very short-sighted about anything ... I don’t buy into any of that.”

As the case got underway on May 25, Justice Bell addressed lawyer James Gunvaldsen-Klaassen, who represents the three environmental groups, after he said: “I want to gratefully acknowledge that I live and work on the unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq, also known as Halifax, Nova Scotia.”

Justice Bell stopped Mr. Gunvaldsen-Klaassen and criticized him for making such an acknowledgement.

“This regard to the territory creates a problem for the court – any court – because we are called upon to decide territorial issues on a daily basis. So, what is the court supposed to respond when you do that?” Justice Bell said. “Do you understand the dilemma that puts judges in when they are faced with such an acknowledgement and we are supposed to sit there and say ‘yes,’ ‘no,’ [or] nothing. What do judges do, sir?”

It is standard practice before the Supreme Court of Canada and other courts to acknowledge unceded traditional Native lands in opening sessions or when governments or public institutions make announcements.

Mr. Gunvaldsen-Klaassen responded that he was expressing his “own personal conscience” and wasn’t seeking a finding from the court.

However, Justice Bell told Mr. Gunvaldsen-Klaassen that if he felt strongly about acknowledging traditional Indigenous territory, he should seek permission from First Nations leaders that he is coming on to their lands.

“Write the chiefs of the appropriate First Nations and get their permission, and then if you get their permission, then the Court will hear you,” he said. “In the future, you ask the permission of the First Nations you are concerned about.”

Canada’s first Indigenous justice minister, Jody Wilson-Raybould, would not comment directly on the case, but said recognizing First Nations territory at the outset of proceedings “in some ways complements the symbolism of the court and the evolution of our legal orders in Canada.”

The following day, Justice Bell took issue when Crown counsel lawyers Sarah Drodge and Melissa Grant raised the concept of “two-eyed seeing,” an idea first advocated by Mi’kmaq Elder Albert Marshal. He argued that “beneficial outcomes are much more likely in any given situation when we are willing to bring two or more perspectives into play.”

The two federal justice lawyers argued that consideration of Indigenous and Eurocentric views were a “great development,” adding that the two-eyed principle is being increasingly incorporated into government policy-making.

Justice Bell, who is also Chief Justice of the Court Martial Appeal Court of Canada, said he interpreted two-eyed seeing as giving the impression that “those of us of European descent are short-sighted and basically visionless.

“If my interpretation is correct and European peoples are supposed to be short-sighted, man, is that ever a misapplication ... of my experience with respect to what some very brave people did in the world in the past four or five or six hundred years,” he said. “Much of it doesn’t show a short-sighted vision of the world to me.”

Later in the proceedings, Justice Bell said, “maybe I was being over-sensitive” in raising objections to the concept of two-eyed seeing.

In a statement to The Globe and Mail on Sunday, Mr. Gunvaldsen-Klaassen said that the three environmental groups involved in the case “strongly disagree with the negative comments from the bench about the guiding principle” of two-eyed seeing.

“As predominantly settler organizations, it is incumbent on us to name and address systemic inequities and biases that disproportionately harm Indigenous peoples and communities,” he said. “It is essential to dismantle the white colonial privilege that exists within the legal profession and the administration of justice in Canada. This work is critical to building a more accessible justice system – one that is free of arbitrary barriers created by prejudice and white privilege, and trusted by all people in Canada.”

Ms. Wilson-Raybould added the justice system has interacted with Indigenous peoples differently, reflecting the legacy of deeply rooted colonialism.

“It is time for greater leadership by the bench, the bar and governments to move these changes forward in a systematic way,’ she said.

This is not the first time Justice Bell has engendered controversy. In 2017, he wrote a character reference for former federal judge Robin Camp after he stepped down following a Canadian Judicial Council recommendation that he be removed from the bench.

While sitting as a judge in 2014, Mr. Camp had asked why a rape complainant didn’t resist by keeping her knees together.

Justice Bell, a friend of Mr. Camp’s, wrote a letter of support to allow him to rejoin the legal profession. “He’s just a very, very good person,” he wrote.

INDIGENOUS BAR ASSOCIATION IN CANADA RESPONDS TO STATEMENTS REGARDING INDIGENOUS LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS IN COURTROOMS

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

13 July 2021

OTTAWA, ONT – On May 25th, 2021, Federal Court Justice Richard Bell voiced his strong objections to the practice of recognizing traditional and unceded Indigenous lands within courtroom procedures. In response to these comments, the Indigenous Bar Association in Canada (the “IBA”) wishes to express its extreme disappointment.[1] 

During a recent and ongoing judicial review application, Justice Richard Bell stated that providing “regard” to Indigenous territory “creates a problem for the court.” Proceeding to question whether counsel “understand[s] the dilemma that [land acknowledgments] put judges in,” he also opined to the effect that land recognition is inappropriate within courtroom settings. Where participants in the court system happen to “feel strongly” about acknowledging Indigenous lands, they should, according to Justice Bell, seek Indigenous permission for land-access instead of expressing their sentiments to the judiciary.

The IBA is a national non-profit association comprised of First Nations, Inuit and Métis lawyers, judges, academic’s, law students and legal professionals from across Canada. As an organization dedicated to, among other things, the recognition, promotion, and respect of Indigenous laws, legal cultures and traditions, the IBA remains deeply troubled by these remarks.

Though land acknowledgments are in some ways a peripheral gesture in Canada’s ongoing process of reconciliation, and are not themselves without controversy among Indigenous groups on Turtle Island, they have nonetheless become increasingly common practice. In addition, for many people, land acknowledgements signal the bare minimum demonstration of solidarity and commitment to reconciliation in many circumstances.

For centuries, territorial acknowledgments have existed as an indispensable aspect of Indigenous diplomacy, and for over a decade these statements have been customarily accepted within adjudicative processes, educational institutions, and courtrooms. Aside from denying the widespread acceptance (or at-least tolerance) that land acknowledgments have gained within contemporary legal culture, Justice Bell’s remarks about the practice incorrectly imply that these statements are at once political, problematic, and inappropriate within legal processes. In other words, the practice of land acknowledgements is incompatible with judicial neutrality, and therefore is something of an affront to Canadian sovereignty.

The IBA’s view is that nothing could be further from the truth. The overarching purpose of these statements, since at-least the 94 Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, has been to foster recognition of Indigenous history and honour the past, present, and future contributions of Indigenous peoples to what is now known as Canada. While part of the aim of land acknowledgements is to recognize the historical oppression of Indigenous peoples by institutions of colonial power, as well as how that oppression has influenced relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Peoples, they also recognize accepted facts. Namely that, in the words of the Supreme Court of Canada, “Aboriginal peoples were here when Europeans came, and were never conquered.”

In addition, land acknowledgments are commonplace and unproblematic within the Supreme Court of Canada. If acceptable practice at Canada’s highest court, it is hard to understand why the same gesture of respect and acknowledgment finds criticism in the courts below.

In the IBA’s view, land acknowledgments represent a step forward in the process of reconciliation currently underway in Canada. Indeed, land acknowledgments also serve important educative, reconciliatory, and reformative purposes. As such, they aspire to be more than just a tip of the cap to Indigenous histories or a simple and often impertinent request to tread upon unceded and traditional territories.

Rather than questioning their inclusion as “problematic” the IBA encourages Canadian courtroom procedure to embrace land acknowledgements—including by working with Indigenous communities on who’s traditional territory various courtrooms are situated to identify appropriation statement of recognition—as a way to foster an increasingly positive relationship between Indigenous populations and Canadian society.

Dredging up the Past
Richard Bell

2 February -9 March 2018

Gertrude Contemporary

21-31 High Street, Preston South

Opening: Friday 2 February, 6–8pm

Dredging up the Past was the most recent body of paintings by leading Australian artist Richard Bell and continued his ongoing campaign of focusing attention upon the disempowerment of Indigenous Australian peoples. Employing the visual tropes of canonical painting of the twentieth century, Bell appropriates all that is familiar within the modern Western tradition of art, yet subverts the vernacular to raise crucial issues around unceded Aboriginal sovereignty.   

Many of the works within Dredging up the Past are imbued with the same irreverent humour Bell is renowned for, yet there is also evident a more direct sense of political urgency disentangled from his typical subversive wit. The exhibition could potentially be interpreted as more mature, indeed, more serious in its narrative delivery than other works, unhinged from satire, yet still with the same anger that is the pervasive thrust of his work both as an activist and artist. At times totemic in scale, the paintings demanded our attention, and conveyed, in no uncertain terms, some strategies toward a more equitable cultural realignment.

Selected solo exhibitions include Richard Bell: Imagining Victory, Western Plains Cultural Centre, Dubbo (2015); Embassy, Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts, Perth (2014); Imagining Victory, Artspace, Sydney (2013); Lessons on Etiquette and Manners, Monash University Museum of Art, Melbourne (2013); and Uz vs Them, Indiana University Art Museum, Bloomington (2013); Victoria H. Myhren Gallery, University of Denver, Colorado (2012), University of Kentucky, Lexington; and Tufts University Art Gallery, Boston (2011); and Positivity, Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane (2006). Selected group exhibitions include See You at the Barricades, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney (2015); Action at a Distance: The Life and Legacy of John Stewart Bell, Naughton Gallery, Belfast, Northern Ireland (2014); My Country, I Still Call Australia Home, Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane (2013): Asian Art Biennial, Taiwan (2013); Fifth Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art, Moscow (2013); Half-Light: Portraits from Black Australia, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney (2008); Culture Warriors: National Indigenous Art Triennial, National Gallery of Australia, Canberra (2007); Biennale of Sydney (2008 and 1992); Aratjara: Art of the First Australians, Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, Dusseldorf (1993); Australian Perspecta, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney (1993); and  Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art: Unfamiliar Territory, Art Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide (1991).

Richard Bell: Dredging up the Past is presented in association with Milani Gallery, Brisbane, where it was first shown in 2017.

Bloc Quebecois will support the throne speech Surprise Surprise Surprise N'esy Pas???

Does a throne speech = a general election?

Throne speech? Elections? During the pandemic??

You may already know what a Throne Speech is, but for those thinking it’s something out of Game of Thrones, fret not!

A Throne Speech is delivered to mark the beginning of a session of Parliament, usually following a general election or the prorogation of the previous session. (Prorogation happens when a session of Parliament is ended prematurely without dissolving Parliament, which would trigger elections.) If a Throne Speech follows a prorogation, it serves as a legislative reset.

 

Typically, it sets the tone and outlines the Government’s intended game plan for the upcoming session.
(FYI – Although it’s the Prime Minister’s plan, the Governor General of Canada reads the speech on behalf of the Queen. (Interesting fun fact: The Queen delivered the speech herself while in Canada in 1957 and 1977!))

The Throne Speech will prompt a vote of confidence, where MPs will vote on whether they will support the government’s agenda. This could lead to a no confidence vote which would trigger a general election.

Can you imagine an election during a pandemic? It has its challenges, but also some up sides; including volunteering from your home!!! That means you can volunteer for candidates right across the country and do it in your pjs! No excuse not to get engaged this time around! History will be made and you can play a role in shaping it.

If you’re interested in volunteering, please fill out this pledge and let CJPAC do the rest. We will connect you with the party or candidate of your choice!

You can get involved in an election right now – by-elections that is! Two of them! York Centre and Toronto Centre. Interested in volunteering? Click below for more info.

Opposition parties feeling left out as federal throne speech outlines Liberal agenda

Immediately after the speech was read, Bloc Quebecois Leader Yves-Francois Blanchet signalled his party will support what he called '24 pages of completely empty words'

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau threw few bones to opposition parties Tuesday in a throne speech that recapped the election platform that produced a second consecutive Liberal minority government.

A vote on the throne speech will be the first confidence test for the government, with the Liberals’ survival dependent on the support of at least one opposition party.

Nevertheless, Trudeau made little effort in the throne speech to secure the support of any of the other parties, choosing instead to reiterate in broad strokes Liberal promises to finish the fight against COVID-19 and rebuild a more resilient, fairer, greener economy.

Voter anger over Trudeau’s decision to call an election in the midst of the pandemic dashed his hopes of capturing a majority on Sept. 20. He is now evidently counting on that anger to dissuade opposition parties from triggering another election anytime soon, relieving him of the necessity to modify his agenda to satisfy any of them.

It’s a gamble that appears to have paid off, at least on the throne speech.

Gov. Gen. Mary Simon, the first Inuk person to serve in the role, centred the theme of reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples in Tuesday’s speech from the throne with an introduction — delivered in English, French and Inuktitut — that she had written herself.

“I encourage you to seek out the truth, and to learn about the lived realities in First Nations, Inuit and Metis communities,” Simon said in the speech delivered in the Senate chamber.

“Although each community is distinct, we all share a desire to chart a way forward together towards reconciliation.”

She also touched upon the finding by First Nations of hundreds of unmarked graves on the sites of former residential schools across Canada earlier this year.

“We cannot hide from these discoveries. They open deep wounds,” she said in French.

At the same time, she said there is hope.

“Reconciliation is not a single act, nor does it have an end date. It is a lifelong journey of healing, respect and understanding,” she said.

Immediately after the speech was read by Simon in the Senate chamber, Bloc Quebecois Leader Yves-Francois Blanchet signalled his party will support what he called “24 pages of completely empty words.”

“Supporting might not be the best word. We will live with this empty piece of paper, gently read in three languages,” he said, adding it’s impossible to vote against “apple pie.”

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, whose party is considered the most likely dance partner for the Liberals, panned the speech for failing to even mention his party’s priorities, including pharmacare, continuing pandemic supports and boosting annual health transfers to the provinces.

“This is not a speech that looks like they want to work together,” Singh said, warning Trudeau not to take NDP support for granted.

Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole said his party will oppose the throne speech, which he lambasted for failing to lay out a plan for reviving the economy, particularly the skyrocketing cost of living.

Despite winning only a minority of seats, Trudeau asserted in the speech that Canadians gave parliamentarians clear direction in the Sept. 20 election.

“Not only do they want parliamentarians to work together to put this pandemic behind us, they also want bold, concrete solutions to meet the other challenges we face,” the speech said.

“This is the moment for parliamentarians to work together to get big things done and shape a better future for our kids.”

There were no surprises in the speech, which reiterated the promises the Liberals made in their election platform and focused largely on economic recovery from the pandemic.

The pillars of that recovery will be more aggressive action to combat climate change, measures to produce more affordable housing and finishing negotiations with two holdout province and two territories that have yet to sign onto the Liberals’ $10-a-day national child care program.

Reconciliation was also a major theme of the speech, delivered partly in Inuktitut, as well as French and English, by Simon, the first Indigenous person to hold the viceregal post.

She opened the speech with her own reflections on the pain caused by the discovery last spring of what are believed to be hundreds of unmarked graves of Indigenous children at the sites of two former residential schools.

“We cannot hide from these discoveries; they open deep wounds,” Simon said, adding that “despite the profound pain, there is hope.”

Among other things, the speech promised to create a national monument to honour residential school survivors.

Simon also issued a personal call for action on climate change.

“Our Earth is in danger. From a warming Arctic to the increasing devastation of natural disasters, our land and our people need help. We must move talk into action and adapt where we must,” she said.

Amid extreme flooding and landslides in British Columbia, the speech reiterated the Liberals’ promise to develop the first-ever national adaptation strategy to help Canadians adjust to the changing climate.

It argued that growing the economy goes hand in hand with protecting the environment and that now is the time to “go further, faster” on combating climate change.

It promised to “strengthen action to prevent and prepare for floods, wildfires, droughts, coastline erosion and other extreme weather worsened by climate change.”

The speech — delivered to a much smaller than usual audience of masked dignitaries, senators and MPs in a bid to maintain physical distance — sketched only the broad outlines of the government’s agenda with few details.

It argued that ending the pandemic “for good” is the best way to revive the economy.

But with employment now back to pre-pandemic levels and almost 90 per cent of Canadians fully vaccinated, the speech reiterated the Liberals’ plan to replace emergency benefits that kept millions of Canadians and business afloat during the pandemic with more targeted aid for those hardest hit by the health crisis.

A very corrupt ex CBC dude Terry Seguin begins his NB Power reveal byway of his Green Meanie buddies YEA RIGHT

    NtS1omveo2mabn6eru c30 rat 151:171 7A3M30 
    "A bit of my background regarding my RTI for NB Power’s employee flight records over a 5 year period. When my son played minor hockey I encountered several parents who worked for NB Power talking about going to conferences in sunny locations during March break...
    I wondered how often these conferences happened and how many NB Power employees travelled to them, so I requested all flight records from 2010 to 2015. I received 6 huge binders containing details on thousands of flights...
    This info represents the situation from 2010 to 2015…and may have little relevance to the current employee flights situation at NB Power. This info is not meant to impugn the integrity of NB Power employees, it’s just a reflection of how the Corporation spent money on flights...
    Binder a: 2. Almost all flights were taken for meetings, training, seminars and conferences. All flights/trips had to approved. Some of the trips that stand out to me: 4 people in Las Vegas for 5 nights in March for a conference, 1 person 8 nights in Phoenix for a workshop...
    Binder a: 3. 6 people in Kansas City for 5 nights for Lineman Rodeo, 3 people 7 nights in Baltimore for a conference, 3 people 7 nights in San Francisco in April for a conference, 3 people 6 nights in Orlando in February for a conference,3 people 7 nights in Memphis for training...
    Binder a: 4. 2 people 5 nights in Tampa in March for a conference…Most popular “Southern destinations” Arizona 3 trips, Florida 20 trips, California 10 trips, Nevada 5 trips, Louisiana 2 trips, Georgia 10 trips, Texas 2 trips. NYC 4 trips...
    Binder a 5. Gaetan Thomas flew 14 times. 7 flights were same day, 5 flights were for 1 night, 2 flights were for 2 nights, 1 flight was for 4 nights. I’ll repeat what I pointed out when I started this, this work is not to impugn the integrity of NB Power employees...
    Binder a: 6: all trips were justified and approved in the NB Power management structure. I wanted to take a look at the culture in the Corporation regarding flights and conferences. I found a few notations regarding the possibility of video conferencing instead of flights...
    Binder a: 7. So, these binders are a snapshot in time from 2010 to 2015…they are historical documents and may not reflect what the current attitude at NB Power is regarding flights. It would be interesting to see what the flight records show over the last 2 years...
    Binder a: 8. How did NB Power satisfy training, conferences and seminar needs during a Pandemic that restricted air travel."

    Roger Richard I talked to Seguin in Fat Fred City while he was protesting being locked out I had taken my Mother out shopping up at the Mall. When we were going back to her abode I saw all the protesters in front of the CBC HQ so I stopped to say Hey. As we talked Seguin leaned though the window of my Mom's side of the car and she listened to him tease me about running for Parliament. Need I say my Mom was not impressed and that I didn't care that the smiling bastards were locked out? https://johngushue.typepad.com/blog/lockout/page/3/
