Chief electoral officer prefers byelections over general election
Kim Poffenroth says byelections are good first test of new protocols
Mia Urquhart· CBC News· Posted: Aug 04, 2020 7:29 PM AT
Elections New Brunswick is preparing for upcoming byelections and the possibility of a general election. Either way, going to the polls during a pandemic will look different. (CBC)
The best contingency plan for holding an election during a pandemic is to not hold an election during a pandemic, according to Liberal MLA Roger Melanson.
"That would be the best case scenario for everybody to stay safe and be safe and don't have to worry about their public health during a pandemic," Melanson told a standing committee of the legislature Tuesday afternoon.
He told the hearing that New Brunswick shouldn't hold a general election in the shadow of COVID-19.
Premier Blaine Higgs hasn't ruled out making a snap election call.
Higgs lacks a majority in the legislature and the pending retirement of PC MLA Bruce Northrup will make it even harder for the government to win confidence votes and pass legislation.
At the very least, two byelections are required, with vacant seats in Saint Croix and Shediac Bay - Dieppe, and Higgs has said he isn't sure whether to call a general election or just go ahead with byelections.
He acknowledged last month that many New Brunswickers don't want to go to the polls in a pandemic.

Kim Poffenroth, the chief electoral officer at Elections New Brunswick, said the province is ready for an election, but that she would prefer to test the new procedures around pandemic safety with a byelection rather than a full-scale provincial election.
"It's really all about being able to test new procedures," Poffenroth told reporters after the hearing.
"Elections New Brunswick, I think rightfully, tends to be conservative when it comes to testing new procedures. So we like to test things at a small scale before we implement them on a large scale," she said.
Also, there are a number of things that Elections New Brunswick cannot pilot during a general election.
One of those would change the way votes are collected. Poffenroth said she'd like to run a test of telephone voting — and that can only be done during a byelection.
"Unfortunately, I don't have any authority to pilot that kind of novel voting process at a general election," she explained.
Moncton Centre Liberal MLA Rob McKee said the Liberals have heard that a campaign could begin as early as this week, which would put election day in early September.
During Tuesday's standing committee on "procedure, privileges and legislative officers," several politicians voiced their opposition to holding a general election.
Moncton Liberal MLA Rob McKee said it would be “irresponsible” to call an election in a pandemic. (CBC)
McKee told the hearing that it would be "irresponsible" to call an election in a pandemic.
He asked Poffenroth what contingency plans and safety protocols will be put in place. He also wondered what would happen if someone showed up at a polling station not wearing a mask.
The bottom line is that masks will not be enforced, said Poffenroth.
"One's right to vote is the most basic democratic right. It's No. 3 under the Charter of Rights," she told the committee.
Voters will be asked to wear a mask, but they will not be turned away.
"I don't believe I have the authority, constitutionally, to do that," she said.
The staff at polling stations won't "get into a fight with somebody and throw somebody out of a polling location because they refuse."
While there are a few more powers that Poffenroth would like to see given to Elections New Brunswick, the power to stop an election is not one of them — not even during a pandemic.
"As the chief electoral officer, I did not want the authority to determine whether an election should be paused or put on hold."
She said "some additional flexibility to deal with public health emergencies" would be helpful in a pandemic, but the decision to halt an election should rest with the Legislative Assembly.
'Flatten the election curve'
Using a term from the pandemic lexicon, Poffenroth encouraged voters to "flatten the election curve" in an effort to reduce crowds at polling stations on election day.
She wants people to consider voting at advanced polls or at the returning office in their riding, or by using mail-in ballots.
And if they do vote on election day, she suggested avoiding peak voting times — on the way home from work and after supper.
"So trying to encourage people that can get out to vote early if they have some flexibility in their work, or if they don't work, to vote at those off-peak times."
Poffenroth told the committee that Elections New Brunswick has spent more than $1 million to make voting in a pandemic safer for everyone.
All polling staff will wear masks and/or face shields, and masks will be provided to voters who don't have their own.
"We've spent a little over a million dollars and the largest portion of that is for masks and face shields both for our workers and voters."
She said each polling station will also have two additional COVID-related positions — a personal protection constable, who will explain the safety protocols, ask them to use hand sanitizer, and offer them a mask if they don't have one; and a roving constable, who will ensure high-touch points are properly sanitized.
Mail-in ballots
Poffenroth hopes that more people will use mail-in ballots.
She thinks there may be a misconception among voters that only those outside the province can use this method.
Elections New Brunswick has ordered an increased supply of mail-in ballots and bought $19,000 worth of stamps. Normally, voters were expected to pay their own postage, but under the circumstances, Poffenroth felt it was "appropriate" for Elections New Brunswick to foot the bill.
Opposition positions
Liberal Leader Kevin Vickers has said he does not want an election this year and said his party would not force an election.
Green Party Leader David Coon also said this isn't the right time for an election.
People's Alliance leader Kris Austin has said he doesn't think New Brunswickers want an election.

Matt Steele With a minority govt. in place for the past couple of years , and with three by-elections in the wings ; it would be wise to have a general election , and clear the air ; because failure at the polls during the by-elections could topple the govt. anyways . It sounds like many of the opposition MLAs are scared of an election because they might lose their seats along with their fat salaries , expense accounts , and gold plated pension plans .

David News If we can consider sending kids to school, opening the province for travel within the Atlantic Bubble, re opening for business, we can certainly hold an election. Not that any of the politicians have shown or stated what they would do differently. Higgs doesn't have a mandate to deal with the fallout of Covid-19, the government could easily fall through the 2 by elections. One final comment, migrating to phone in ballots is likely a step NB is not ready for. Cell phone calls are notoriously easy to hack/ intercept compared to landlines. VoIP depending upon the encryption used by the carrier are also an open question. Opening up phone in ballot taking could lead to a huge increase in identity theft as sophisticated criminals could eavesdrop on the call and get valuable information typically not easily accessible from the call

Hot off the presses
"When pressed about when he will make a decision, Higgs wouldn't be pinned down. "
"So I'm sure that Elections New Brunswick ... can figure out a way that we can maintain democracy and move it in a direction that allows us to ensure we do it safely. And it would only be under those conditions of being able to do it safely that I would consider calling an election in the future."
Too Too Funny Indeed
David Amos "Higgs said he has met with caucus to discuss the issue and will continue to do so. He said an election won't be called "without a clear understanding of how we can manage it safely, and how we can have an election that ensures that democracy continues to work as it needs to in order to govern our province."
Yea Right

"Premier Blaine Higgs said he's not prepared to call a general election — at least not this week.
That was about as definitive as he got when asked during a Tuesday afternoon news conference."

Introduction >> >> [1] On September 16, 2015, David Raymond Amos (Mr. Amos) >> filed a 53-page Statement of Claim (the Claim) in Federal Court >> against Her Majesty the Queen (the Crown). Mr. Amos claims $11 million >> in damages and a public apology from the Prime Minister and Provincial >> Premiers for being illegally barred from accessing parliamentary >> properties and seeks a declaration from the Minister of Public Safety >> that the Canadian Government will no longer allow the Royal Canadian >> Mounted Police (RCMP) and Canadian Forces to harass him and his clan >> (Claim at para. 96). >> >> [2] On November 12, 2015 (Docket T-1557-15), by way of a >> motion brought by the Crown, a prothonotary of the Federal Court (the >> Prothonotary) struck the Claim in its entirety, without leave to >> amend, on the basis that it was plain and obvious that the Claim >> disclosed no reasonable claim, the Claim was fundamentally vexatious, >> and the Claim could not be salvaged by way of further amendment (the >> Prothontary’s Order). >> >> >> [3] On January 25, 2016 (2016 FC 93), by way of Mr. >> Amos’ appeal from the Prothonotary’s Order, a judge of the Federal >> Court (the Judge), reviewing the matter de novo, struck all of Mr. >> Amos’ claims for relief with the exception of the claim for damages >> for being barred by the RCMP from the New Brunswick legislature in >> 2004 (the Federal Court Judgment). >> >> >> [4] Mr. Amos appealed and the Crown cross-appealed the >> Federal Court Judgment. Further to the issuance of a Notice of Status >> Review, Mr. Amos’ appeal was dismissed for delay on December 19, 2016. >> As such, the only matter before this Court is the Crown’s >> cross-appeal. >> >> >> II. Preliminary Matter >> >> [5] Mr. Amos, in his memorandum of fact and law in >> relation to the cross-appeal that was filed with this Court on March >> 6, 2017, indicated that several judges of this Court, including two of >> the judges of this panel, had a conflict of interest in this appeal. >> This was the first time that he identified the judges whom he believed >> had a conflict of interest in a document that was filed with this >> Court. In his notice of appeal he had alluded to a conflict with >> several judges but did not name those judges. >> >> [6] Mr. Amos was of the view that he did not have to >> identify the judges in any document filed with this Court because he >> had identified the judges in various documents that had been filed >> with the Federal Court. In his view the Federal Court and the Federal >> Court of Appeal are the same court and therefore any document filed in >> the Federal Court would be filed in this Court. This view is based on >> subsections 5(4) and 5.1(4) of the Federal Courts Act, R.S.C., 1985, >> c. F-7: >> >> >> 5(4) Every judge of the Federal Court is, by virtue of his or her >> office, a judge of the Federal Court of Appeal and has all the >> jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court of >> Appeal. >> […] >> >> 5(4) Les juges de la Cour fédérale sont d’office juges de la Cour >> d’appel fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que >> les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale. >> […] >> 5.1(4) Every judge of the Federal Court of Appeal is, by virtue of >> that office, a judge of the Federal Court and has all the >> jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court. >> >> 5.1(4) Les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale sont d’office juges de la >> Cour fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que les >> juges de la Cour fédérale. >> >> >> [7] However, these subsections only provide that the >> judges of the Federal Court are also judges of this Court (and vice >> versa).

If, as Mr. Amos suggests, documents filed in the Federal >> Court were automatically also filed in this Court, then there would no >> need for the parties to prepare and file appeal books as required by >> Rules 343 to 345 of the Federal Courts Rules, SOR/98-106 in relation >> to any appeal from a decision of the Federal Court. The requirement to >> file an appeal book with this Court in relation to an appeal from a >> decision of the Federal Court makes it clear that the only documents >> that will be before this Court are the documents that are part of that >> appeal book. >> >> >> [10] Therefore, the memorandum of fact and law filed on >> March 6, 2017 is the first document, filed with this Court, in which >> Mr. Amos identified the particular judges that he submits have a >> conflict in any matter related to him. >> >> >> [11] On April 3, 2017, Mr. Amos attempted to bring a motion >> before the Federal Court seeking an order “affirming or denying the >> conflict of interest he has” with a number of judges of the Federal >> Court.

The Federal Court motion is not a motion before this >> Court and, as such, the submissions filed before the Federal Court >> will not be entertained. As well, since this was a motion brought >> before the Federal Court (and not this Court), any documents filed in >> relation to that motion are not part of the record of this Court. >> >> >> [12] During the hearing of the appeal Mr. Amos alleged that >> the third member of this panel also had a conflict of interest and >> submitted some documents that, in his view, supported his claim of a >> conflict. Mr. Amos, following the hearing of his appeal, was also >> afforded the opportunity to provide a brief summary of the conflict >> that he was alleging and to file additional documents that, in his >> view, supported his allegations. Mr. Amos submitted several pages of >> documents in relation to the alleged conflicts. He organized the >> documents by submitting a copy of the biography of the particular >> judge and then, immediately following that biography, by including >> copies of the documents that, in his view, supported his claim that >> such judge had a conflict. >> >> >> [13] The nature of the alleged conflict of Justice Webb is >> that before he was appointed as a Judge of the Tax Court of Canada in >> 2006, he was a partner with the law firm Patterson Law, and before >> that with Patterson Palmer in Nova Scotia. Mr. Amos submitted that he >> had a number of disputes with Patterson Palmer and Patterson Law and >> therefore Justice Webb has a conflict simply because he was a partner >> of these firms. Mr. Amos is not alleging that Justice Webb was >> personally involved in or had any knowledge of any matter in which Mr. >> Amos was involved with Justice Webb’s former law firm – only that he >> was a member of such firm. >> >> >> [14] During his oral submissions at the hearing of his >> appeal Mr. Amos, in relation to the alleged conflict for Justice Webb, >> focused on dealings between himself and a particular lawyer at >> Patterson Law. However, none of the documents submitted by Mr. Amos at >> the hearing or subsequently related to any dealings with this >> particular lawyer nor is it clear when Mr. Amos was dealing with this >> lawyer. In particular, it is far from clear whether such dealings were >> after the time that Justice Webb was appointed as a Judge of the Tax >> Court of Canada over 10 years ago. >> >> >> [15] The documents that he submitted in relation to the >> alleged conflict for Justice Webb largely relate to dealings between >> Byron Prior and the St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador office of >> Patterson Palmer, which is not in the same province where Justice Webb >> practiced law. The only document that indicates any dealing between >> Mr. Amos and Patterson Palmer is a copy of an affidavit of Stephen May >> who was a partner in the St. John’s NL office of Patterson Palmer. The >> affidavit is dated January 24, 2005 and refers to a number of e-mails >> that were sent by Mr. Amos to Stephen May. Mr. Amos also included a >> letter that is addressed to four individuals, one of whom is John >> Crosbie who was counsel to the St. John’s NL office of Patterson >> Palmer. The letter is dated September 2, 2004 and is addressed to >> “John Crosbie, c/o Greg G. Byrne, Suite 502, 570 Queen Street, >> Fredericton, NB E3B 5E3”. In this letter Mr. Amos alludes to a >> possible lawsuit against Patterson Palmer. >> [16] Mr. Amos’ position is that simply because Justice Webb >> was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer, he now has a conflict. In Wewaykum >> Indian Band v. Her Majesty the Queen, 2003 SCC 45, [2003] 2 S.C.R. >> 259, the Supreme Court of Canada noted that disqualification of a >> judge is to be determined based on whether there is a reasonable >> apprehension of bias: >> 60 In Canadian law, one standard has now emerged as the >> criterion for disqualification. The criterion, as expressed by de >> Grandpré J. in Committee for Justice and Liberty v. National Energy >> Board, …[[1978] 1 S.C.R. 369, 68 D.L.R. (3d) 716], at p. 394, is the >> reasonable apprehension of bias: >> … the apprehension of bias must be a reasonable one, held by >> reasonable and right minded persons, applying themselves to the >> question and obtaining thereon the required information. In the words >> of the Court of Appeal, that test is "what would an informed person, >> viewing the matter realistically and practically -- and having thought >> the matter through -- conclude. Would he think that it is more likely >> than not that [the decision-maker], whether consciously or >> unconsciously, would not decide fairly." >> >> [17] The issue to be determined is whether an informed >> person, viewing the matter realistically and practically, and having >> thought the matter through, would conclude that Mr. Amos’ allegations >> give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias. As this Court has >> previously remarked, “there is a strong presumption that judges will >> administer justice impartially” and this presumption will not be >> rebutted in the absence of “convincing evidence” of bias (Collins v. >> Canada, 2011 FCA 140 at para. 7, [2011] 4 C.T.C. 157 [Collins]. See >> also R. v. S. (R.D.), [1997] 3 S.C.R. 484 at para. 32, 151 D.L.R. >> (4th) 193). >> >> [18] The Ontario Court of Appeal in Rando Drugs Ltd. v. >> Scott, 2007 ONCA 553, 86 O.R. (3d) 653 (leave to appeal to the Supreme >> Court of Canada refused, 32285 (August 1, 2007)), addressed the >> particular issue of whether a judge is disqualified from hearing a >> case simply because he had been a member of a law firm that was >> involved in the litigation that was now before that judge. The Ontario >> Court of Appeal determined that the judge was not disqualified if the >> judge had no involvement with the person or the matter when he was a >> lawyer. The Ontario Court of Appeal also explained that the rules for >> determining whether a judge is disqualified are different from the >> rules to determine whether a lawyer has a conflict: >> 27 Thus, disqualification is not the natural corollary to a >> finding that a trial judge has had some involvement in a case over >> which he or she is now presiding. Where the judge had no involvement, >> as here, it cannot be said that the judge is disqualified. >> >> >> 28 The point can rightly be made that had Mr. Patterson been >> asked to represent the appellant as counsel before his appointment to >> the bench, the conflict rules would likely have prevented him from >> taking the case because his firm had formerly represented one of the >> defendants in the case. Thus, it is argued how is it that as a trial >> judge Patterson J. can hear the case? This issue was considered by the >> Court of Appeal (Civil Division) in Locabail (U.K.) Ltd. v. Bayfield >> Properties Ltd., [2000] Q.B. 451. The court held, at para. 58, that >> there is no inflexible rule governing the disqualification of a judge >> and that, "[e]verything depends on the circumstances." >> >> >> 29 It seems to me that what appears at first sight to be an >> inconsistency in application of rules can be explained by the >> different contexts and in particular, the strong presumption of >> judicial impartiality that applies in the context of disqualification >> of a judge. There is no such presumption in cases of allegations of >> conflict of interest against a lawyer because of a firm's previous >> involvement in the case. To the contrary, as explained by Sopinka J. >> in MacDonald Estate v. Martin (1990), 77 D.L.R. (4th) 249 (S.C.C.), >> for sound policy reasons there is a presumption of a disqualifying >> interest that can rarely be overcome. In particular, a conclusory >> statement from the lawyer that he or she had no confidential >> information about the case will never be sufficient. The case is the >> opposite where the allegation of bias is made against a trial judge. >> His or her statement that he or she knew nothing about the case and >> had no involvement in it will ordinarily be accepted at face value >> unless there is good reason to doubt it: see Locabail, at para. 19. >> >> >> 30 That brings me then to consider the particular circumstances >> of this case and whether there are serious grounds to find a >> disqualifying conflict of interest in this case. In my view, there are >> two significant factors that justify the trial judge's decision not to >> recuse himself. The first is his statement, which all parties accept, >> that he knew nothing of the case when it was in his former firm and >> that he had nothing to do with it. The second is the long passage of >> time. As was said in Wewaykum, at para. 85: >> To us, one significant factor stands out, and must inform >> the perspective of the reasonable person assessing the impact of this >> involvement on Binnie J.'s impartiality in the appeals. That factor is >> the passage of time. Most arguments for disqualification rest on >> circumstances that are either contemporaneous to the decision-making, >> or that occurred within a short time prior to the decision-making. >> 31 There are other factors that inform the issue. The Wilson >> Walker firm no longer acted for any of the parties by the time of >> trial. More importantly, at the time of the motion, Patterson J. had >> been a judge for six years and thus had not had a relationship with >> his former firm for a considerable period of time. >> >> >> 32 In my view, a reasonable person, viewing the matter >> realistically would conclude that the trial judge could deal fairly >> and impartially with this case. I take this view principally because >> of the long passage of time and the trial judge's lack of involvement >> in or knowledge of the case when the Wilson Walker firm had carriage. >> In these circumstances it cannot be reasonably contended that the >> trial judge could not remain impartial in the case. The mere fact that >> his name appears on the letterhead of some correspondence from over a >> decade ago would not lead a reasonable person to believe that he would >> either consciously or unconsciously favour his former firm's former >> client. It is simply not realistic to think that a judge would throw >> off his mantle of impartiality, ignore his oath of office and favour a >> client - about whom he knew nothing - of a firm that he left six years >> earlier and that no longer acts for the client, in a case involving >> events from over a decade ago. >> (emphasis added) >> >> [19] Justice Webb had no involvement with any matter >> involving Mr. Amos while he was a member of Patterson Palmer or >> Patterson Law, nor does Mr. Amos suggest that he did. Mr. Amos made it >> clear during the hearing of this matter that the only reason for the >> alleged conflict for Justice Webb was that he was a member of >> Patterson Law and Patterson Palmer. This is simply not enough for >> Justice Webb to be disqualified. Any involvement of Mr. Amos with >> Patterson Law while Justice Webb was a member of that firm would have >> had to occur over 10 years ago and even longer for the time when he >> was a member of Patterson Palmer. In addition to the lack of any >> involvement on his part with any matter or dispute that Mr. Amos had >> with Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer (which in and of itself is >> sufficient to dispose of this matter), the length of time since >> Justice Webb was a member of Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer would >> also result in the same finding – that there is no conflict in Justice >> Webb hearing this appeal. >> >> [20] Similarly in R. v. Bagot, 2000 MBCA 30, 145 Man. R. >> (2d) 260, the Manitoba Court of Appeal found that there was no >> reasonable apprehension of bias when a judge, who had been a member of >> the law firm that had been retained by the accused, had no involvement >> with the accused while he was a lawyer with that firm. >> >> [21] In Del Zotto v. Minister of National Revenue, [2000] 4 >> F.C. 321, 257 N.R. 96, this court did find that there would be a >> reasonable apprehension of bias where a judge, who while he was a >> lawyer, had recorded time on a matter involving the same person who >> was before that judge. However, this case can be distinguished as >> Justice Webb did not have any time recorded on any files involving Mr. >> Amos while he was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer or Patterson Law. >> >> [22] Mr. Amos also included with his submissions a CD. He >> stated in his affidavit dated June 26, 2017 that there is a “true copy >> of an American police surveillance wiretap entitled 139” on this CD. >> He has also indicated that he has “provided a true copy of the CD >> entitled 139 to many American and Canadian law enforcement authorities >> and not one of the police forces or officers of the court are willing >> to investigate it”. Since he has indicated that this is an “American >> police surveillance wiretap”, this is a matter for the American law >> enforcement authorities and cannot create, as Mr. Amos suggests, a >> conflict of interest for any judge to whom he provides a copy. >> >> [23] As a result, there is no conflict or reasonable >> apprehension of bias for Justice Webb and therefore, no reason for him >> to recuse himself. >> >> [24] Mr. Amos alleged that Justice Near’s past professional >> experience with the government created a “quasi-conflict” in deciding >> the cross-appeal. Mr. Amos provided no details and Justice Near >> confirmed that he had no prior knowledge of the matters alleged in the >> Claim. Justice Near sees no reason to recuse himself. >> >> [25] Insofar as it is possible to glean the basis for Mr. >> Amos’ allegations against Justice Gleason, it appears that he alleges >> that she is incapable of hearing this appeal because he says he wrote >> a letter to Brian Mulroney and Jean Chrétien in 2004. At that time, >> both Justice Gleason and Mr. Mulroney were partners in the law firm >> Ogilvy Renault, LLP. The letter in question, which is rude and angry, >> begins with “Hey you two Evil Old Smiling Bastards” and “Re: me suing >> you and your little dogs too”. There is no indication that the letter >> was ever responded to or that a law suit was ever commenced by Mr. >> Amos against Mr. Mulroney. In the circumstances, there is no reason >> for Justice Gleason to recuse herself as the letter in question does >> not give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias. >> >> >> III. Issue >> >> [26] The issue on the cross-appeal is as follows: Did the >> Judge err in setting aside the Prothonotary’s Order striking the Claim >> in its entirety without leave to amend and in determining that Mr. >> Amos’ allegation that the RCMP barred him from the New Brunswick >> legislature in 2004 was capable of supporting a cause of action? >> >> IV. Analysis >> >> A. Standard of Review >> >> [27] Following the Judge’s decision to set aside the >> Prothonotary’s Order, this Court revisited the standard of review to >> be applied to discretionary decisions of prothonotaries and decisions >> made by judges on appeals of prothonotaries’ decisions in Hospira >> Healthcare Corp. v. Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, 2016 FCA 215, >> 402 D.L.R. (4th) 497 [Hospira]. In Hospira, a five-member panel of >> this Court replaced the Aqua-Gem standard of review with that >> articulated in Housen v. Nikolaisen, 2002 SCC 33, [2002] 2 S.C.R. 235 >> [Housen]. As a result, it is no longer appropriate for the Federal >> Court to conduct a de novo review of a discretionary order made by a >> prothonotary in regard to questions vital to the final issue of the >> case. Rather, a Federal Court judge can only intervene on appeal if >> the prothonotary made an error of law or a palpable and overriding >> error in determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and >> law (Hospira at para. 79). Further, this Court can only interfere with >> a Federal Court judge’s review of a prothonotary’s discretionary order >> if the judge made an error of law or palpable and overriding error in >> determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and law >> (Hospira at paras. 82-83). >> >> [28] In the case at bar, the Judge substituted his own >> assessment of Mr. Amos’ Claim for that of the Prothonotary. This Court >> must look to the Prothonotary’s Order to determine whether the Judge >> erred in law or made a palpable and overriding error in choosing to >> interfere. >> >> >> B. Did the Judge err in interfering with the >> Prothonotary’s Order? >> >> [29] The Prothontoary’s Order accepted the following >> paragraphs from the Crown’s submissions as the basis for striking the >> Claim in its entirety without leave to amend: >> >> 17. Within the 96 paragraph Statement of Claim, the Plaintiff >> addresses his complaint in paragraphs 14-24, inclusive. All but four >> of those paragraphs are dedicated to an incident that occurred in 2006 >> in and around the legislature in New Brunswick. The jurisdiction of >> the Federal Court does not extend to Her Majesty the Queen in right of >> the Provinces. In any event, the Plaintiff hasn’t named the Province >> or provincial actors as parties to this action. The incident alleged >> does not give rise to a justiciable cause of action in this Court. >> (…) >> >> >> 21. The few paragraphs that directly address the Defendant >> provide no details as to the individuals involved or the location of >> the alleged incidents or other details sufficient to allow the >> Defendant to respond. As a result, it is difficult or impossible to >> determine the causes of action the Plaintiff is attempting to advance. >> A generous reading of the Statement of Claim allows the Defendant to >> only speculate as to the true and/or intended cause of action. At >> best, the Plaintiff’s action may possibly be summarized as: he >> suspects he is barred from the House of Commons. >> [footnotes omitted]. >> >> >> [30] The Judge determined that he could not strike the Claim >> on the same jurisdictional basis as the Prothonotary. The Judge noted >> that the Federal Court has jurisdiction over claims based on the >> liability of Federal Crown servants like the RCMP and that the actors >> who barred Mr. Amos from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 >> included the RCMP (Federal Court Judgment at para. 23). In considering >> the viability of these allegations de novo, the Judge identified >> paragraph 14 of the Claim as containing “some precision” as it >> identifies the date of the event and a RCMP officer acting as >> Aide-de-Camp to the Lieutenant Governor (Federal Court Judgment at >> para. 27). >> >> >> [31] The Judge noted that the 2004 event could support a >> cause of action in the tort of misfeasance in public office and >> identified the elements of the tort as excerpted from Meigs v. Canada, >> 2013 FC 389, 431 F.T.R. 111: >> >> >> [13] As in both the cases of Odhavji Estate v Woodhouse, 2003 SCC >> 69 [Odhavji] and Lewis v Canada, 2012 FC 1514 [Lewis], I must >> determine whether the plaintiffs’ statement of claim pleads each >> element of the alleged tort of misfeasance in public office: >> >> a) The public officer must have engaged in deliberate and unlawful >> conduct in his or her capacity as public officer; >> >> b) The public officer must have been aware both that his or her >> conduct was unlawful and that it was likely to harm the plaintiff; and >> >> c) There must be an element of bad faith or dishonesty by the public >> officer and knowledge of harm alone is insufficient to conclude that a >> public officer acted in bad faith or dishonestly. >> Odhavji, above, at paras 23, 24 and 28 >> (Federal Court Judgment at para. 28). >> >> [32] The Judge determined that Mr. Amos disclosed sufficient >> material facts to meet the elements of the tort of misfeasance in >> public office because the actors, who barred him from the New >> Brunswick legislature in 2004, including the RCMP, did so for >> “political reasons” (Federal Court Judgment at para. 29). >> >> [33] This Court’s discussion of the sufficiency of pleadings >> in Merchant Law Group v. Canada (Revenue Agency), 2010 FCA 184, 321 >> D.L.R (4th) 301 is particularly apt: >> >> …When pleading bad faith or abuse of power, it is not enough to >> assert, baldly, conclusory phrases such as “deliberately or >> negligently,” “callous disregard,” or “by fraud and theft did steal”. >> “The bare assertion of a conclusion upon which the court is called >> upon to pronounce is not an allegation of material fact”. Making bald, >> conclusory allegations without any evidentiary foundation is an abuse >> of process… >> >> To this, I would add that the tort of misfeasance in public office >> requires a particular state of mind of a public officer in carrying >> out the impunged action, i.e., deliberate conduct which the public >> officer knows to be inconsistent with the obligations of his or her >> office. For this tort, particularization of the allegations is >> mandatory. Rule 181 specifically requires particularization of >> allegations of “breach of trust,” “wilful default,” “state of mind of >> a person,” “malice” or “fraudulent intention.” >> (at paras. 34-35, citations omitted). >> >> [34] Applying the Housen standard of review to the >> Prothonotary’s Order, we are of the view that the Judge interfered >> absent a legal or palpable and overriding error. >> >> [35] The Prothonotary determined that Mr. Amos’ Claim >> disclosed no reasonable claim and was fundamentally vexatious on the >> basis of jurisdictional concerns and the absence of material facts to >> ground a cause of action. Paragraph 14 of the Claim, which addresses >> the 2004 event, pleads no material facts as to how the RCMP officer >> engaged in deliberate and unlawful conduct, knew that his or her >> conduct was unlawful and likely to harm Mr. Amos, and acted in bad >> faith. While the Claim alleges elsewhere that Mr. Amos was barred from >> the New Brunswick legislature for political and/or malicious reasons, >> these allegations are not particularized and are directed against >> non-federal actors, such as the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Legislative >> Assembly of New Brunswick and the Fredericton Police Force. As such, >> the Judge erred in determining that Mr. Amos’ allegation that the RCMP >> barred him from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 was capable of >> supporting a cause of action. >> >> [36] In our view, the Claim is made up entirely of bare >> allegations, devoid of any detail, such that it discloses no >> reasonable cause of action within the jurisdiction of the Federal >> Courts. Therefore, the Judge erred in interfering to set aside the >> Prothonotary’s Order striking the claim in its entirety. Further, we >> find that the Prothonotary made no error in denying leave to amend. >> The deficiencies in Mr. Amos’ pleadings are so extensive such that >> amendment could not cure them (see Collins at para. 26). >> >> V.
