Federal government met the threshold to invoke Emergencies Act: Rouleau
Report calls out policing failures and Ontario's inaction during an 'unsafe and chaotic' protest
"Lawful protest descended into lawlessness, culminating in a national emergency," he wrote in his highly-anticipated report, tabled Friday in the House of Commons.
"Invocation of the Emergencies Act is a drastic move, but it is not a dictatorial one."
The document sheds new light on one of the most controversial decisions ever made by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government. On Feb. 14, 2022, Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act to end the protests that had blocked downtown Ottawa's streets for nearly a month.
The protesters were angry with the government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including vaccine requirements.
It was the first time the law had been triggered since it was created in 1988.
By invoking the act, the federal government gave law enforcement extraordinary powers to remove and arrest protesters, and gave itself the power to freeze the finances of those connected to the protests. The temporary emergency powers also gave authorities the ability to commandeer tow trucks to remove protesters' vehicles from the streets of the capital.
The law defines a national emergency as a situation that "cannot be effectively dealt with under any other law of Canada." Further, a public order emergency can only be invoked when there is "a threat to the security of Canada" as defined by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service Act.

"In my view, there was credible and compelling information supporting a reasonable belief that the definition of a threat to the security of Canada was met," Rouleau wrote in his executive summary, which runs to more than 200 pages.
"I have concluded that cabinet was reasonably concerned that the situation it was facing was worsening and at risk of becoming dangerous and unmanageable."
Rouleau's report largely exonerates Trudeau regarding his decision to invoke the Emergencies Act. But the prime minister does not escape criticism.
For example, Rouleau said Trudeau's reference on Jan. 27 to some protesters as a "fringe minority" likely inflamed the situation and hardened protesters' resolve.
He also concluded that federal consultation with the provinces was "adequate" but "could, and likely should, have been better."
Ontario government's response was 'troubling'
His report makes 56 recommendations to improve intelligence sharing, police response to wide-scale protests and the Emergencies Act itself.
Rouleau reserved some of his most blistering remarks for the Ontario government.
"I find the Province of Ontario's reluctance to become fully engaged in such efforts directed at resolving the situation in Ottawa troubling," he said.
Rouleau said Premier Doug Ford and his cabinet did not properly respond to a crisis in a city in their jurisdiction.

"Given that the city and its police service were clearly overwhelmed, it was incumbent on the province to become visibly, publicly and wholeheartedly engaged from the outset," wrote Rouleau, a justice of the court of appeal for Ontario.
He wrote that moments of urgency require leaders of governments at all levels "to rise above politics and collaborate for the common good."
"Unfortunately, in January and February of 2022, this did not always happen," he wrote.
The Ottawa Police Service also gets poor marks from the justice, who wrote that if city police had properly assessed the information and intelligence at their fingertips, it "would have told a different story."
He said the city police response was marred by a lack of proper planning, intelligence failures and internal dysfunction.
While Rouleau takes aim at some of former Ottawa police chief Peter Sloly's leadership choices and decisions, he also said that it would be too easy to attribute all of the shortfalls and errors to him.
"As well, some errors on Chief Sloly's part were unduly enlarged by others, to a degree that suggests scapegoating," he wrote.
Rouleau praised the Windsor police, the Ontario Provincial Police, the RCMP and the City of Windsor for learning from the mistakes of the Ottawa police.
Rouleau says situation could have been avoided
During six weeks of testimony last fall, the Public Order Emergency Commission heard from more than 70 witnesses, including cabinet ministers and protesters.
Rouleau wrote that the "spark" for the early 2022 protests was more than two years of COVID-19 restrictions and the federal government's decision to require that commercial truck drivers be vaccinated in order to enter Canada.
Growing distrust in government in certain segments of the population, coupled with government responses to COVID, "exacerbated" this pre-existing dynamic.
Rouleau said he accepts that COVID-19 had a profound impact on Canadians and they had a right to to lawfully protest what they saw as government overreach.

"I do not accept the organizers' descriptions of the protest in Ottawa as lawful, calm peaceful or something resembling a celebration," Rouleau wrote.
"The bigger picture reveals that the situation in Ottawa was unsafe and chaotic."
He also dismissed the organizers' claims that they were unaware of acts of harassment and intimidation directed at local residents.
Ultimately, Rouleau wrote, "it is regrettable that such a situation arose here, because in my view, it could have been avoided."

David Amos Wow, I'm so shocked that a lifelong liberal judge has agreed with Trudeau ! Who could possibly have imagined that from the outset.
So there you have it, dare not speak out against the great man.
How many people died during this protest? How many government agencies collapsed? We all know the answer, none. So a few people lost sleep for several nights, well, that might happen in a democracy. But Canada, is now clearly seen to be no longer a democracy.

Emergencies Act inquiry: Trudeau speaks after use of powers deemed appropriate | LIVE
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, along with Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, will speak after the government was cleared for invoking the Emergencies Act for the first time in Canadian history during the so-called “Freedom Convoy” protests in Ottawa last year. In the over 2,000-page report, Justice Rouleau called the “Freedom Convoy” a “singular moment in history” exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as online misinformation and disinformation. While there was failure in policing, Rouleau said the ‘Freedom Convoy” protests and response can also be seen as a “failure of federalism.”NDP MPs react to the Emergencies Act inquiry’s final report – February 17, 2023

As Emergencies Act report tabled, key witnesses have moved on
Public Order Emergency Commission to release findings later today
As the Public Order Emergency Commission (POEC) prepares to release its highly anticipated report into last winter's convoy protests, many of the witnesses from the City of Ottawa and the Ottawa Police Service who testified last fall have either left or moved to new roles.
On Thursday, the commission announced it would make its final report public later today after tabling it in Parliament.
The Canadian Press reported the commission had requested, and been granted, an extension to the original Feb. 6 deadline for submitting its final report to the government.
The deadline for tabling the report in Parliament — Feb. 20 — remained intact, however. That meant the commission's findings and recommendations had to be made public no later than Monday, the Family Day statutory holiday in Ontario.
(The timeline set out by the Emergencies Act requires that the report be submitted to Parliament and released to the public within 360 days of the emergency declaration being revoked, which occurred on Feb. 23, 2022.)

Mayor, councillors gone
The commission heard from 76 witnesses over six weeks of public testimony, from Oct. 14 until the prime minister's appearance on Nov. 25. Of those, seven were either elected officials or senior bureaucrats with the City of Ottawa, and five more were senior members of the Ottawa Police Service (OPS).
None of the elected officials from the city who testified — former mayor Jim Watson, former councillor and police services board chair Diane Deans, and former councillors Mathieu Fleury and Catherine McKenney — remains in office. Of those, only McKenney ran for re-election last fall, but failed in their bid to become mayor.
Of the other city officials who testified, only Kim Ayotte, Ottawa's general manager of emergency and protective services, remains in the same job.
Former city manager Steve Kanellakos, who testified about his efforts to broker a deal between police and the protesters, resigned amid controversy on Nov. 28, just two days before the release of a damning report on Ottawa's troubled LRT project.
Watson's former chief of staff Serge Arpin left with his boss, customary practice among political staffers.

All 5 OPS witnesses remain
All five senior members of the Ottawa Police Service who testified before the commission last fall remain, though most have changed jobs. (This doesn't include former chief Peter Sloly, who resigned during the occupation of Ottawa by convoy protesters, and who had been out of policing for more than eight months by the time he testified before the commission in late October.)
Steve Bell, who was named interim chief after Sloly's resignation, and who oversaw the eventual dispersal of the protest in Ottawa, is now a deputy chief and chief administrative officer of the OPS. At the time of the convoy's arrival in Ottawa, Bell was in charge of intelligence, information and investigation for the force.
Patricia Ferguson, who testified to the deep "dysfunction" at the top of the OPS, and said the force was left "floundering" when protesters failed to leave the capital after the first weekend, remains acting deputy chief.
Russell Lucas, an inspector with the police service's special events section during the protests, is currently an acting superintendent, according to an update provided by the OPS on Thursday.
Supt. Robert Bernier, an inspector within the force's communications branch who was appointed event commander during the occupation, is also listed by the OPS as an acting superintendent.
Supt. Robert Drummond, who was tasked with overseeing the police liaison team that negotiated with protest leaders and the public order unit that eventually helped end the occupation, also maintains that rank. (Drummond was in an acting role at the time of his testimony last fall.)

'Multiple points of failure'
In an email to CBC, Paul Champ, a lawyer who represented downtown residents and businesses during the Emergencies Act inquiry, noted the commission heard "extensive evidence of multiple points of failure" by both government officials and police.
"Even though many of those responsible have left the stage, the POEC report will memorialize those mistakes and serve as a guide for public officials going forward. I would also like to see some apologies by the police, the city and the province, but that's probably asking too much," Champ wrote.
He said he also hopes to see the report provide some guidance "about the oversight and direction the Ottawa Police Services Board can have over the Ottawa Police Service."
Journalists covering the inquiry will be allowed to peruse an embargoed version of the report starting at 10 a.m. ET. The embargo will be lifted once the report is tabled in Parliament.
Commissioner Paul Rouleau will also read a prepared statement, which will be streamed live on the commission's website, where the full report will be made available to the public.

> FREDERICTON - The New Brunswick government has launched a lawsuit
> against an accounting firm in an effort to recover $50 million
> provided as loan guarantees to the Miramichi-based Atcon group of
> companies.
>
> The lawsuit filed with the Court of Queen's Bench in Saint John
> alleges that Grant Thornton was in breach of its duties to the
> province in an inspection of the financial books of the Atcon group of
> companies.
>
> The former Liberal government of then premier Shawn Graham provided
> the loan guarantees to the companies in 2009.
>
> The statement of claim alleges the government approved the loan
> guarantees as a result of financial reports from Grant Thornton.
>
> "But for the Grant Thornton opinions and representations, the province
> would not have sustained a loss in excess of $50 million," the
> document asserts.
>
> It says the accounting firm "failed to exercise the care, diligence,
> and skill of an auditor of reasonable competence and prudence."
>
> None of the allegations contained in the statement of claim have been
> proven in court.
>
> Atcon, based in Miramichi, went bankrupt in April 2010.
>
> Grant Thornton LLP, Grant Thornton International and a chartered
> accountant who works for the company are named as the defendants. They
> have not filed a statement of defence and the accountant named in the
> statement of claim could not be reached for comment.
>
> Norm Raynard, managing partner in New Brunswick for Grant Thornton,
> said in an emailed statement that the company would not offer specific
> comments on the lawsuit because they are still reviewing the court
> documents.
>
> "We will vigorously defend ourselves against this action," he wrote.
>
> "Our initial reaction is that this timing has much to do with the
> political calendar in the province."
>
> The next provincial election is set for Sept. 22.
>
> Attorney General Hugh Flemming said the timing is not political.
>
> "This is not a time schedule which in any way was influenced by the
> government and it is not a political issue," he said Tuesday.
>
> He said the government had no choice but to take the matter to court
> because of the $50 million that was spent.
>
> "The government owes a duty to the people of New Brunswick to do what
> they can to recover this," Flemming said.

> 'Strong suspects' but no charges in Highway of Tears cases: RCMP
>
> VANCOUVER - The Mountie overseeing the investigation into the murders
> and disappearances of women and girls along British Columbia's
> so-called Highway of Tears says his officers have a number of "strong
> suspects," but they have yet to uncover enough evidence to lay charges
> nearly two years after the last major break in the case.
>
> Staff-Sgt. Wayne Clary leads project E-PANA, which has spent years
> investigating the deaths and disappearances of 18 women and girls
> along three highways in the province's north.
>
> Roughly 60 officers were assigned to the case at the height of the
> investigation, though Clary said that number has dropped to between 12
> and 15, who spend most of their time on the project. Still, he said
> E-PANA is very much an active investigation.
>
> "It has scaled down, because we've pounded through a lot of work, but
> there's still enough work in front of us to keep going," Clary told
> The Canadian Press.
>
> "There's more than one investigation where we have strong suspects or
> persons of interest, and we're clearly focusing on those. ... I'd like
> nothing more than to sit down with the families and say, 'We've got
> the guy."'
>
> Clary declined to offer details about how many suspects the RCMP have
> identified or in which specific cases, though he said the suspects
> they have in mind are located in Canada.
>
> The last significant development came in September 2012, when
> investigators said they believed a dead American convict named Bobby
> Jack Fowler was responsible for killing as many as three of the women.
>
> The RCMP said investigators had uncovered DNA evidence linking Fowler,
> who died in an Oregon prison in 2006, to Colleen MacMillen, who was
> murdered in 1974. They also said they believed Fowler may have been
> involved in the deaths of Gale Weys and Pamela Darlington, both 19,
> who were killed in the mid-1970s.
>
> Clary said the force doesn't have the same kind of direct evidence
> tying Fowler to Weys and Darlington, but he added: "Personally, I
> think it's him in the other two."
>
> Clary said E-PANA hasn't come up with evidence to suggest any of the
> other women and girls were linked together, meaning there could be 15
> different suspects for the 15 remaining cases.
>
> "If we have a strong suspect, absolutely we're looking for crossed
> lines, but right now we're not seeing that," he said.
>
> E-PANA was launched in 2005 amid growing concern about the number of
> women and girls who vanished or were found dead along highways in the
> province's north. It also came several years after serial killer
> Robert Pickton was arrested in the Vancouver area - a case that Clary
> worked on as part of Project Evenhanded.
>
> The Highway of Tears often refers to a remote stretch of Highway 16
> between Prince Rupert and Prince George, but E-PANA also includes
> cases along the adjacent Highways 97 and 5.
>
> Investigators identified 18 women and girls who were involved in
> hitchhiking or other high-risk behaviour and were last seen within a
> couple of kilometres of those highways. The final list included cases
> between 1969 and 2006.
>
> Investigators once held annual group meetings, but Clary said they now
> contact each family individually, either in person or by telephone.

> City bids adieu to RCMP Supt. Eric Stubbs
> Posted On 26 Jun 2014By : Staff ReporterComment: 0Tag: RCMP
> Firepit manager Robert Ryan, left, elders Violet Bozoki and Tom Reece
> and executive director Vanessa West presemted RCMP Supt. Eric Stubbs
> with some gifts before he leaves for a new posting in Ottawa at the
> end of the month. Stubbs and Ryan both spoke of the steps which have

> After three years as the top cop in Prince George and a combined 14
> years in Northern BC, Superintendent Eric Stubbs is leaving Prince
> George and province.
>
> Friday June 27, marks the final day Superintendent Stubbs will be in
> charge of the RCMP’s Municipal Detachment in Prince George, a position
> he held since arriving in June 2011. During his time here,
> Superintendent Stubbs has reduced crime in nearly every category,
> created a unit dedicated to combating domestic violence, and was a
> catalyst in the transformation of the Community Policing Section to a
> new model with focuses on youth and enforcement. Of course, he was
> also the detachment commander leading up to, during and following the
> move to the new City of Prince George Municipal Detachment.
>
> “I would like to thank Superintendent Stubbs for his excellent service
> to Prince George and northern B.C.,” said Mayor Shari Green of Prince
> George, in a press release. “Among the many achievements on his watch,
> I’d like to point out his dedication to reducing domestic violence,
> the continued support of the Downtown Enforcement Unit, and his
> essential role in the Mayor’s Task Force on Crime. I wish
> Superintendent Stubbs every success in this next exciting phase of his
> service to Canadians.”
>
> Stubbs will be taking on a new role as National Criminal Operations
> Officer in Ottawa; a role that comes with a promotion to Chief
> Superintendent.
>
> Superintendent Stubbs has provided a tremendous service to the
> citizens of northern BC through his work in four communities over 14
> years said Supt. Lesley Bain, acting officer in charge of the RCMP in
> northern B.C. He has had a significant impact in each community he has
> policed, none more than Prince George. He will be greatly missed and
> we wish him the best in his new role in Ottawa.
>
> Inspector Brad Anderson, the Detachment’s Operations officer, will
> take over command of the detachment until such time that a successor
> is named.
>
> On behalf of the members, staff and volunteers of the Prince George
> RCMP, I want to extend a thank you to Eric for his leadership over the
> past three years said Anderson. It has been a pleasure working for him
> in such a positive environment.

>>
>> A Tax Court judge has slammed the Canada Revenue Agency and the
>> Justice Department for "egregious" conduct that threatened to deny
>> three taxpayers the right to a fair trial in an epic battle over
>> millions of dollars worth of tax penalties.
>>
>> In a scathing decision that could have widespread implications, Judge
>> Patrick Boyle found the CRA committed an "intentional and deliberate"
>> pattern of ignoring court rules to "frustrate" the right that all
>> Canadians have to get a full picture of an opponent's case before
>> heading to court.
>>
>> The three taxpayers — a Manitoba psychiatrist, an Ontario nurse and a
>> B.C. Air Canada pilot — were appealing three million dollars' worth of
>> gross negligence penalties levelled against them, for rejected returns
>> filed through a pair of disgraced tax consultancy firms.
>>
>> But after years of pre-trial delays resulting from the CRA's repeated
>> failure to comply with his orders, Boyle took the extraordinary
>> measure of allowing the appeals without having a trial on the merits
>> of the case this week, to "protect the integrity of the judicial
>> process."
>>
>> Canada Revenue Agency accused of blaming victims as 'gross
>> negligence' cases drag on
>>
>> "I find the [CRA's] egregious approach to pre-trial discovery in these
>> appeals to prejudice all three appellants who have been denied," Boyle
>> wrote in his ruling.
>>
>> "These abuses of the discovery process ... have caused considerable
>> delay and expense to three Appellants in respect of their appeals.
>> They have also led to an inefficient use of public resources financed
>> by all Canadians."
>> 'With great power comes great responsibility'
>>
>> Boyle's decision is the latest chapter in a saga that has seen
>> hundreds of Canadians slapped with gross negligence penalties after
>> filing returns through DeMara Consulting and Fiscal Arbitrators.
>>
>> The principals of both companies were jailed for tax fraud for
>> promoting schemes Boyle says "resemble in many respects the
>> de-taxation practices of sovereign citizens, though with less of the
>> non-fiscal cultish aspects."

>>
>> According to court records, B.C.-based DeMara's scheme was called "the

>> debts as expenses and capital losses for a non-existent business.
>>
>> Canada's Income Tax Act gives CRA the ability to levy penalties
>> against Canadians who make false statements and omissions on their tax

>> "This was fundamentally a case about justice. Justice for the

>> of Canada's most powerful institutions: the CRA," Pniowsky told the
>> CBC.
>>
>> Pniowsky, who has four children, said Boyle's ruling reminded him of a
>> line from one of his family's favourite superhero movies: Spiderman.
>>
>> "With great power comes great responsibility," he said.
>>
>> "It's clear from this case that the CRA and the Justice Department
>> have lost sight of that common-sense principle."
>> 'Unprepared, unco-operative or untruthful'
>>
>> Boyle's detailed 53-page ruling goes through the history of the case,
>> and the circumstances that led to each of the orders he found the CRA
>> later ignored.
>>
>> The fight centred on pre-trial discovery, and the rights of the
>> taxpayers to examine a CRA representative or "nominee" who was
>> "knowledgeable" about their case.
>> The CRA has the ability to levy gross negligence penalties against
>> taxpayers who lie on their income tax forms. The penalties have been
>> devastating for some. (Graeme Roy/The Canadian Press)
>>
>> The first person the agency put forward was "unaware of any criminal
>> investigation and had not informed himself" about any involvement of
>> the CRA's criminal investigators in the case.
>>
>> The second nominee was a lead criminal investigator who "did not even
>> inform himself ... whether any investigation was undertaken of any of
>> these three appellants."
>>
>> At one point, Boyle called the investigator "thoroughly unprepared,
>> unco-operative or untruthful."
>>
>> The judge said the CRA and its lawyers twisted the words of an order
>> that boiled down to a demand for the agency to hand over any documents
>> relating to any investigations that touched on the three appellants.
>>
>> "I variously described this as 'outrageously misleading and
>> inappropriate,''this might be contemptuous,' ... 'deeply, deeply
>> disturbed,''highly inappropriate' and 'I don't think you were
>> reasonably mistaken,'" Boyle wrote.
>>
>> It is an ex-reference: B.C. judge removes 'dead parrot' joke from
>> class-action ruling
>>
>> The judge also zeroed in on the CRA's failure to tell the defence that
>> the second page of a three-page "Investigation Abort Report" against
>> one of the plaintiffs had gone missing. The report was handed over in
>> the middle of hundreds of documents. The missing page explained why a
>> criminal investigation was dropped.
>>
>> The CRA claimed it had no "specific obligation" to point out missing
>> pages — a position Boyle found "shocking."
>>
>> "Courts do not consider discovery to be a game, and it is particularly
>> disappointing when the Crown is the offending party," the judge said.
>>
>> He said the omission gave credence to the idea the CRA "is hiding
>> something from them, from the Court and from Canadians about how these
>> investigations have been conducted.
>> 'Stop, or I'll yell stop again!'
>>
>> The judge pointed out that the CRA is "represented by the Department
>> of Justice which is essentially Canada's largest national law firm and
>> employs a large number of tax litigation lawyers who are wholly
>> familiar" with the court's rules.
>>
>> Boyle said making yet another order for compliance would be pointless.
>> The judge compared his battle to get the CRA to comply with his orders
>> to a skit by Monty Python, whose troupe members are seen here from
>> left to right: John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones, Graham
>> Chapman, Michael Palin and Eric Idle. (PBS/Python (Monty) Pictures
>> Ltd./The Associated Press)
>>
>> He was reminded of a skit by legendary English comedy troupe Monty
>> Python.
>>
>> "To make such an order would conjure up memories of the Pythonesque
>> skit of the British bobby of another era yelling at a scofflaw: 'Stop!
>> Stop!—Stop, or I'll yell 'stop' again!'" the judge wrote.
>>
>> The three appeals were supposed to be the lead plaintiffs for a much
>> larger group of appeals. The judge said those people will have to
>> speak with their lawyers to determine how the ruling applies to them.
>>
>> Pniowsky says he believes the decision is the first of its kind
>> against the CRA. He predicted fallout both in other DeMara and Fiscal
>> Arbitrators cases and in the wider world of tax litigation.
>>
>> "Intoxicated with a sense of moral righteousness, the government
>> apparently determined or acted like these Canadians were not worthy of
>> basic procedural rights, thereby committing the same wrongs they
>> accused the taxpayers of: gross neglect, wilful blindness and at times
>> deceptive conduct," he said.

>>> 2017-02631
>>> To: "motomaniac333@gmail.com"<motomaniac333@gmail.com>
>>>
>>> Mr. David Raymond Amos
>>> motomaniac333@gmail.com
>>>
>>>
>>> Dear Mr. Amos:
>>>
>>> Thank you for your various correspondence about abusive tax schemes,
>>> and for your understanding regarding the delay of this response.
>>>
>>> This is an opportunity for me to address your concerns about the way
>>> the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) deals with aggressive tax planning,
>>> tax avoidance, and tax evasion by targeting individuals and groups
>>> that promote schemes intended to avoid payment of tax. It is also an
>>> opportunity for me to present the Government of Canada’s main
>>> strategies for ensuring fairness for all taxpayers.
>>>
>>> The CRA’s mission is to preserve the integrity of Canada’s tax system,
>>> and it is taking concrete and effective action to deal with abusive
>>> tax schemes. Through federal budget funding in 2016 and 2017, the
>>> government has committed close to $1 billion in cracking down on tax
>>> evasion and combatting tax avoidance at home and through the use of
>>> offshore transactions. This additional funding is expected to generate
>>> federal revenues of $2.6 billion over five years for Budget 2016, and
>>> $2.5 billion over five years for Budget 2017.
>>>
>>> More precisely, the CRA is cracking down on tax cheats by hiring more
>>> auditors, maintaining its underground economy specialist teams,
>>> increasing coverage of aggressive goods and service tax/harmonized
>>> sales tax planning, increasing coverage of multinational corporations
>>> and wealthy individuals, and taking targeted actions aimed at
>>> promoters of abusive tax schemes.
>>>
>>> On the offshore front, the CRA continues to develop tools to improve
>>> its focus on high‑risk taxpayers. It is also considering changes to
>>> its Voluntary Disclosures Program following the first set of program
>>> recommendations received from an independent Offshore Compliance
>>> Advisory Committee. In addition, the CRA is leading international
>>> projects to address the base erosion and profit shifting initiative of
>>> the G20 and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and
>>> Development, and is collaborating with treaty partners to address the
>>> Panama Papers leaks.
>>>
>>> These actions are evidence of the government’s commitment to
>>> protecting tax fairness. The CRA has strengthened its intelligence and
>>> technical capacities for the early detection of abusive tax
>>> arrangements and deterrence of those who participate in them. To
>>> ensure compliance, it has increased the number of actions aimed at
>>> promoters who use illegal schemes. These measures include increased
>>> audits of such promoters, improved information gathering, criminal
>>> investigations where warranted, and better communication with
>>> taxpayers.
>>>
>>> To deter potential taxpayer involvement in these schemes, the CRA is
>>> increasing notifications and warnings through its communications
>>> products. It also seeks partnerships with tax preparers, accountants,
>>> and community groups so that they can become informed observers who
>>> can educate their clients.
>>>
>>> The CRA will assess penalties against promoters and other
>>> representatives who make false statements involving illegal tax
>>> schemes. The promotion of tax schemes to defraud the government can
>>> lead to criminal investigations, fingerprinting, criminal prosecution,
>>> court fines, and jail time.
>>>
>>> Between April 1, 2011, and March 31, 2016, the CRA’s criminal
>>> investigations resulted in the conviction of 42 Canadian taxpayers for
>>> tax evasion with links to money and assets held offshore. In total,
>>> the $34 million in evaded taxes resulted in court fines of $12 million
>>> and 734 months of jail time.
>>>
>>> When deciding to pursue compliance actions through the courts, the CRA
>>> consults the Department of Justice Canada to choose an appropriate
>>> solution. Complex tax-related litigation is costly and time consuming,
>>> and the outcome may be unsuccessful. All options to recover amounts
>>> owed are considered.
>>>
>>> More specifically, in relation to the KPMG Isle of Man tax avoidance
>>> scheme, publicly available court records show that it is through the
>>> CRA’s efforts that the scheme was discovered. The CRA identified many
>>> of the participants and continues to actively pursue the matter. The
>>> CRA has also identified at least 10 additional tax structures on the
>>> Isle of Man, and is auditing taxpayers in relation to these
>>> structures.
>>>
>>> To ensure tax fairness, the CRA commissioned an independent review in
>>> March 2016 to determine if it had acted appropriately concerning KPMG
>>> and its clients. In her review, Ms. Kimberley Brooks, Associate
>>> Professor and former Dean of the Schulich School of Law at Dalhousie
>>> University, examined the CRA’s operational processes and decisions in
>>> relation to the KPMG offshore tax structure and its efforts to obtain
>>> the names of all taxpayers participating in the scheme. Following this
>>> review, the report, released on May 5, 2016, concluded that the CRA
>>> had acted appropriately in its management of the KPMG Isle of Man
>>> file. The report found that the series of compliance measures the CRA
>>> took were in accordance with its policies and procedures. It was
>>> concluded that the procedural actions taken on the KPMG file were
>>> appropriate given the facts of this particular case and were
>>> consistent with the treatment of taxpayers in similar situations. The
>>> report concluded that actions by CRA employees were in accordance with
>>> the CRA’s Code of Integrity and Professional Conduct. There was no
>>> evidence of inappropriate interaction between KPMG and the CRA
>>> employees involved in the case.
>>>
>>> Under the CRA’s Code of Integrity and Professional Conduct, all CRA
>>> employees are responsible for real, apparent, or potential conflicts
>>> of interests between their current duties and any subsequent
>>> employment outside of the CRA or the Public Service of Canada.
>>> Consequences and corrective measures play an important role in
>>> protecting the CRA’s integrity.
>>>
>>> The CRA takes misconduct very seriously. The consequences of
>>> misconduct depend on the gravity of the incident and its repercussions
>>> on trust both within and outside of the CRA. Misconduct can result in
>>> disciplinary measures up to dismissal.
>>>
>>> All forms of tax evasion are illegal. The CRA manages the Informant
>>> Leads Program, which handles leads received from the public regarding
>>> cases of tax evasion across the country. This program, which
>>> coordinates all the leads the CRA receives from informants, determines
>>> whether there has been any non-compliance with tax law and ensures
>>> that the information is examined and conveyed, if applicable, so that
>>> compliance measures are taken. This program does not offer any reward
>>> for tips received.
>>>
>>> The new Offshore Tax Informant Program (OTIP) has also been put in
>>> place. The OTIP offers financial compensation to individuals who
>>> provide information related to major cases of offshore tax evasion
>>> that lead to the collection of tax owing. As of December 31, 2016, the
>>> OTIP had received 963 calls and 407 written submissions from possible
>>> informants. Over 218 taxpayers are currently under audit based on
>>> information the CRA received through the OTIP.
>>>
>>> With a focus on the highest-risk sectors nationally and
>>> internationally and an increased ability to gather information, the
>>> CRA has the means to target taxpayers who try to hide their income.
>>> For example, since January 2015, the CRA has been collecting
>>> information on all international electronic funds transfers (EFTs) of
>>> $10,000 or more ending or originating in Canada. It is also adopting a
>>> proactive approach by focusing each year on four jurisdictions that
>>> raise suspicion. For the Isle of Man, the CRA audited 3,000 EFTs
>>> totalling $860 million over 12 months and involving approximately 800
>>> taxpayers. Based on these audits, the CRA communicated with
>>> approximately 350 individuals and 400 corporations and performed 60
>>> audits.
>>>
>>> In January 2017, I reaffirmed Canada’s important role as a leader for
>>> tax authorities around the world in detecting the structures used for
>>> aggressive tax planning and tax evasion. This is why Canada works
>>> daily with the Joint International Tax Shelter Information Centre
>>> (JITSIC), a network of tax administrations in over 35 countries. The
>>> CRA participates in two expert groups within the JITSIC and leads the
>>> working group on intermediaries and proponents. This ongoing
>>> collaboration is a key component of the CRA’s work to develop strong
>>> relationships with the international community, which will help it
>>> refine the world-class tax system that benefits all Canadians.
>>>
>>> The CRA is increasing its efforts and is seeing early signs of
>>> success. Last year, the CRA recovered just under $13 billion as a
>>> result of its audit activities on the domestic and offshore fronts.
>>> Two-thirds of these recoveries are the result of its audit efforts
>>> relating to large businesses and multinational companies.
>>>
>>> But there is still much to do, and additional improvements and
>>> investments are underway.
>>>
>>> Tax cheats are having a harder and harder time hiding. Taxpayers who
>>> choose to promote or participate in malicious and illegal tax
>>> strategies must face the consequences of their actions. Canadians
>>> expect nothing less. I invite you to read my most recent statement on
>>> this matter at
>>> canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/
>>> statement_from_
>>>
>>> Thank you for taking the time to write. I hope the information I have
>>> provided is helpful.

> 'Strong suspects' but no charges in Highway of Tears cases: RCMP
>
> VANCOUVER - The Mountie overseeing the investigation into the murders
> and disappearances of women and girls along British Columbia's
> so-called Highway of Tears says his officers have a number of "strong
> suspects," but they have yet to uncover enough evidence to lay charges
> nearly two years after the last major break in the case.
>
> Staff-Sgt. Wayne Clary leads project E-PANA, which has spent years
> investigating the deaths and disappearances of 18 women and girls
> along three highways in the province's north.
>
> Roughly 60 officers were assigned to the case at the height of the
> investigation, though Clary said that number has dropped to between 12
> and 15, who spend most of their time on the project. Still, he said
> E-PANA is very much an active investigation.
>
> "It has scaled down, because we've pounded through a lot of work, but
> there's still enough work in front of us to keep going," Clary told
> The Canadian Press.
>
> "There's more than one investigation where we have strong suspects or
> persons of interest, and we're clearly focusing on those. ... I'd like
> nothing more than to sit down with the families and say, 'We've got
> the guy."'
>
> Clary declined to offer details about how many suspects the RCMP have
> identified or in which specific cases, though he said the suspects
> they have in mind are located in Canada.
>
> The last significant development came in September 2012, when
> investigators said they believed a dead American convict named Bobby
> Jack Fowler was responsible for killing as many as three of the women.
>
> The RCMP said investigators had uncovered DNA evidence linking Fowler,
> who died in an Oregon prison in 2006, to Colleen MacMillen, who was
> murdered in 1974. They also said they believed Fowler may have been
> involved in the deaths of Gale Weys and Pamela Darlington, both 19,
> who were killed in the mid-1970s.
>
> Clary said the force doesn't have the same kind of direct evidence
> tying Fowler to Weys and Darlington, but he added: "Personally, I
> think it's him in the other two."
>
> Clary said E-PANA hasn't come up with evidence to suggest any of the
> other women and girls were linked together, meaning there could be 15
> different suspects for the 15 remaining cases.
>
> "If we have a strong suspect, absolutely we're looking for crossed
> lines, but right now we're not seeing that," he said.
>
> E-PANA was launched in 2005 amid growing concern about the number of
> women and girls who vanished or were found dead along highways in the
> province's north. It also came several years after serial killer
> Robert Pickton was arrested in the Vancouver area - a case that Clary
> worked on as part of Project Evenhanded.
>
> The Highway of Tears often refers to a remote stretch of Highway 16
> between Prince Rupert and Prince George, but E-PANA also includes
> cases along the adjacent Highways 97 and 5.
>
> Investigators identified 18 women and girls who were involved in
> hitchhiking or other high-risk behaviour and were last seen within a
> couple of kilometres of those highways. The final list included cases
> between 1969 and 2006.
>
> Investigators once held annual group meetings, but Clary said they now
> contact each family individually, either in person or by telephone.

> To date, the CSA has focused its efforts on enhancing the transparency

>> Judge slams CRA and Justice Department for 'egregious' conduct in epic

>> Decision likely to affect dozens of Canadians appealing gross

>>
>> A Tax Court judge has slammed the Canada Revenue Agency and the
>> Justice Department for "egregious" conduct that threatened to deny
>> three taxpayers the right to a fair trial in an epic battle over
>> millions of dollars worth of tax penalties.
>>
>> In a scathing decision that could have widespread implications, Judge
>> Patrick Boyle found the CRA committed an "intentional and deliberate"
>> pattern of ignoring court rules to "frustrate" the right that all
>> Canadians have to get a full picture of an opponent's case before
>> heading to court.
>>
>> The three taxpayers — a Manitoba psychiatrist, an Ontario nurse and a
>> B.C. Air Canada pilot — were appealing three million dollars' worth of
>> gross negligence penalties levelled against them, for rejected returns
>> filed through a pair of disgraced tax consultancy firms.
>>
>> But after years of pre-trial delays resulting from the CRA's repeated
>> failure to comply with his orders, Boyle took the extraordinary
>> measure of allowing the appeals without having a trial on the merits
>> of the case this week, to "protect the integrity of the judicial
>> process."
>>
>> Canada Revenue Agency accused of blaming victims as 'gross
>> negligence' cases drag on
>>
>> "I find the [CRA's] egregious approach to pre-trial discovery in these
>> appeals to prejudice all three appellants who have been denied," Boyle
>> wrote in his ruling.
>>
>> "These abuses of the discovery process ... have caused considerable
>> delay and expense to three Appellants in respect of their appeals.
>> They have also led to an inefficient use of public resources financed
>> by all Canadians."
>> 'With great power comes great responsibility'
>>
>> Boyle's decision is the latest chapter in a saga that has seen
>> hundreds of Canadians slapped with gross negligence penalties after
>> filing returns through DeMara Consulting and Fiscal Arbitrators.
>>
>> The principals of both companies were jailed for tax fraud for
>> promoting schemes Boyle says "resemble in many respects the
>> de-taxation practices of sovereign citizens, though with less of the
>> non-fiscal cultish aspects."

>>
>> According to court records, B.C.-based DeMara's scheme was called "the
>> remedy" and essentially involved claiming personal expenditures and
>> debts as expenses and capital losses for a non-existent business.
>>
>> Canada's Income Tax Act gives CRA the ability to levy penalties
>> against Canadians who make false statements and omissions on their tax
>> returns, either knowingly or under circumstances that amount to gross
>> negligence.
>>
>> The penalties in the DeMara and Fiscal Arbitrators case have reached
>> into the millions, leading to a huge backlog of appeals that have been
>> making their way through tax court since 2013.
>>
>> Tax agency obtains 'jeopardy order' for debt from Downton
>> Abbey-loving billionaire
>>
>> Jeff Pniowsky, the Winnipeg-based lawyer who represented all three
>> plaintiffs, said fighting a decade-long court battle with the threat
>> of financial ruin hanging over their heads has cost his clients "years
>> of happiness."
>>
>> "This was fundamentally a case about justice. Justice for the
>> taxpayers who had to endure years of gamesmanship and chicanery by one
>> of Canada's most powerful institutions: the CRA," Pniowsky told the
>> CBC.
>>
>> Pniowsky, who has four children, said Boyle's ruling reminded him of a
>> line from one of his family's favourite superhero movies: Spiderman.
>>
>> "With great power comes great responsibility," he said.
>>
>> "It's clear from this case that the CRA and the Justice Department
>> have lost sight of that common-sense principle."
>> 'Unprepared, unco-operative or untruthful'
>>
>> Boyle's detailed 53-page ruling goes through the history of the case,
>> and the circumstances that led to each of the orders he found the CRA
>> later ignored.
>>
>> The fight centred on pre-trial discovery, and the rights of the
>> taxpayers to examine a CRA representative or "nominee" who was
>> "knowledgeable" about their case.
>> The CRA has the ability to levy gross negligence penalties against
>> taxpayers who lie on their income tax forms. The penalties have been
>> devastating for some. (Graeme Roy/The Canadian Press)
>>
>> The first person the agency put forward was "unaware of any criminal
>> investigation and had not informed himself" about any involvement of
>> the CRA's criminal investigators in the case.
>>
>> The second nominee was a lead criminal investigator who "did not even
>> inform himself ... whether any investigation was undertaken of any of
>> these three appellants."
>>
>> At one point, Boyle called the investigator "thoroughly unprepared,
>> unco-operative or untruthful."
>>
>> The judge said the CRA and its lawyers twisted the words of an order
>> that boiled down to a demand for the agency to hand over any documents
>> relating to any investigations that touched on the three appellants.
>>
>> "I variously described this as 'outrageously misleading and
>> inappropriate,''this might be contemptuous,' ... 'deeply, deeply
>> disturbed,''highly inappropriate' and 'I don't think you were
>> reasonably mistaken,'" Boyle wrote.
>>
>> It is an ex-reference: B.C. judge removes 'dead parrot' joke from
>> class-action ruling
>>
>> The judge also zeroed in on the CRA's failure to tell the defence that
>> the second page of a three-page "Investigation Abort Report" against
>> one of the plaintiffs had gone missing. The report was handed over in
>> the middle of hundreds of documents. The missing page explained why a
>> criminal investigation was dropped.
>>
>> The CRA claimed it had no "specific obligation" to point out missing
>> pages — a position Boyle found "shocking."
>>
>> "Courts do not consider discovery to be a game, and it is particularly
>> disappointing when the Crown is the offending party," the judge said.
>>
>> He said the omission gave credence to the idea the CRA "is hiding
>> something from them, from the Court and from Canadians about how these
>> investigations have been conducted.
>> 'Stop, or I'll yell stop again!'
>>
>> The judge pointed out that the CRA is "represented by the Department
>> of Justice which is essentially Canada's largest national law firm and
>> employs a large number of tax litigation lawyers who are wholly
>> familiar" with the court's rules.
>>
>> Boyle said making yet another order for compliance would be pointless.
>> The judge compared his battle to get the CRA to comply with his orders
>> to a skit by Monty Python, whose troupe members are seen here from
>> left to right: John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones, Graham
>> Chapman, Michael Palin and Eric Idle. (PBS/Python (Monty) Pictures
>> Ltd./The Associated Press)
>>
>> He was reminded of a skit by legendary English comedy troupe Monty
>> Python.
>>
>> "To make such an order would conjure up memories of the Pythonesque
>> skit of the British bobby of another era yelling at a scofflaw: 'Stop!
>> Stop!—Stop, or I'll yell 'stop' again!'" the judge wrote.
>>
>> The three appeals were supposed to be the lead plaintiffs for a much
>> larger group of appeals. The judge said those people will have to
>> speak with their lawyers to determine how the ruling applies to them.
>>
>> Pniowsky says he believes the decision is the first of its kind
>> against the CRA. He predicted fallout both in other DeMara and Fiscal
>> Arbitrators cases and in the wider world of tax litigation.
>>
>> "Intoxicated with a sense of moral righteousness, the government
>> apparently determined or acted like these Canadians were not worthy of
>> basic procedural rights, thereby committing the same wrongs they
>> accused the taxpayers of: gross neglect, wilful blindness and at times
>> deceptive conduct," he said.

>>> To: "motomaniac333@gmail.com"<motomaniac333@gmail.com>
>>>
>>> Mr. David Raymond Amos
>>> motomaniac333@gmail.com
>>>
>>>
>>> Dear Mr. Amos:
>>>
>>> Thank you for your various correspondence about abusive tax schemes,
>>> and for your understanding regarding the delay of this response.
>>>
>>> This is an opportunity for me to address your concerns about the way
>>> the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) deals with aggressive tax planning,
>>> tax avoidance, and tax evasion by targeting individuals and groups
>>> that promote schemes intended to avoid payment of tax. It is also an
>>> opportunity for me to present the Government of Canada’s main
>>> strategies for ensuring fairness for all taxpayers.
>>>
>>> The CRA’s mission is to preserve the integrity of Canada’s tax system,
>>> and it is taking concrete and effective action to deal with abusive
>>> tax schemes. Through federal budget funding in 2016 and 2017, the
>>> government has committed close to $1 billion in cracking down on tax
>>> evasion and combatting tax avoidance at home and through the use of
>>> offshore transactions. This additional funding is expected to generate
>>> federal revenues of $2.6 billion over five years for Budget 2016, and
>>> $2.5 billion over five years for Budget 2017.
>>>
>>> More precisely, the CRA is cracking down on tax cheats by hiring more
>>> auditors, maintaining its underground economy specialist teams,
>>> increasing coverage of aggressive goods and service tax/harmonized
>>> sales tax planning, increasing coverage of multinational corporations
>>> and wealthy individuals, and taking targeted actions aimed at
>>> promoters of abusive tax schemes.
>>>
>>> On the offshore front, the CRA continues to develop tools to improve
>>> its focus on high‑risk taxpayers. It is also considering changes to
>>> its Voluntary Disclosures Program following the first set of program
>>> recommendations received from an independent Offshore Compliance
>>> Advisory Committee. In addition, the CRA is leading international
>>> projects to address the base erosion and profit shifting initiative of
>>> the G20 and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and
>>> Development, and is collaborating with treaty partners to address the
>>> Panama Papers leaks.
>>>
>>> These actions are evidence of the government’s commitment to
>>> protecting tax fairness. The CRA has strengthened its intelligence and
>>> technical capacities for the early detection of abusive tax
>>> arrangements and deterrence of those who participate in them. To
>>> ensure compliance, it has increased the number of actions aimed at
>>> promoters who use illegal schemes. These measures include increased
>>> audits of such promoters, improved information gathering, criminal
>>> investigations where warranted, and better communication with
>>> taxpayers.
>>>
>>> To deter potential taxpayer involvement in these schemes, the CRA is
>>> increasing notifications and warnings through its communications
>>> products. It also seeks partnerships with tax preparers, accountants,
>>> and community groups so that they can become informed observers who
>>> can educate their clients.
>>>
>>> The CRA will assess penalties against promoters and other
>>> representatives who make false statements involving illegal tax
>>> schemes. The promotion of tax schemes to defraud the government can
>>> lead to criminal investigations, fingerprinting, criminal prosecution,
>>> court fines, and jail time.
>>>
>>> Between April 1, 2011, and March 31, 2016, the CRA’s criminal
>>> investigations resulted in the conviction of 42 Canadian taxpayers for
>>> tax evasion with links to money and assets held offshore. In total,
>>> the $34 million in evaded taxes resulted in court fines of $12 million
>>> and 734 months of jail time.
>>>
>>> When deciding to pursue compliance actions through the courts, the CRA
>>> consults the Department of Justice Canada to choose an appropriate
>>> solution. Complex tax-related litigation is costly and time consuming,
>>> and the outcome may be unsuccessful. All options to recover amounts
>>> owed are considered.
>>>
>>> More specifically, in relation to the KPMG Isle of Man tax avoidance
>>> scheme, publicly available court records show that it is through the
>>> CRA’s efforts that the scheme was discovered. The CRA identified many
>>> of the participants and continues to actively pursue the matter. The
>>> CRA has also identified at least 10 additional tax structures on the
>>> Isle of Man, and is auditing taxpayers in relation to these
>>> structures.
>>>
>>> To ensure tax fairness, the CRA commissioned an independent review in
>>> March 2016 to determine if it had acted appropriately concerning KPMG
>>> and its clients. In her review, Ms. Kimberley Brooks, Associate
>>> Professor and former Dean of the Schulich School of Law at Dalhousie
>>> University, examined the CRA’s operational processes and decisions in
>>> relation to the KPMG offshore tax structure and its efforts to obtain
>>> the names of all taxpayers participating in the scheme. Following this
>>> review, the report, released on May 5, 2016, concluded that the CRA
>>> had acted appropriately in its management of the KPMG Isle of Man
>>> file. The report found that the series of compliance measures the CRA
>>> took were in accordance with its policies and procedures. It was
>>> concluded that the procedural actions taken on the KPMG file were
>>> appropriate given the facts of this particular case and were
>>> consistent with the treatment of taxpayers in similar situations. The
>>> report concluded that actions by CRA employees were in accordance with
>>> the CRA’s Code of Integrity and Professional Conduct. There was no
>>> evidence of inappropriate interaction between KPMG and the CRA
>>> employees involved in the case.
>>>
>>> Under the CRA’s Code of Integrity and Professional Conduct, all CRA
>>> employees are responsible for real, apparent, or potential conflicts
>>> of interests between their current duties and any subsequent
>>> employment outside of the CRA or the Public Service of Canada.
>>> Consequences and corrective measures play an important role in
>>> protecting the CRA’s integrity.
>>>
>>> The CRA takes misconduct very seriously. The consequences of
>>> misconduct depend on the gravity of the incident and its repercussions
>>> on trust both within and outside of the CRA. Misconduct can result in
>>> disciplinary measures up to dismissal.
>>>
>>> All forms of tax evasion are illegal. The CRA manages the Informant
>>> Leads Program, which handles leads received from the public regarding
>>> cases of tax evasion across the country. This program, which
>>> coordinates all the leads the CRA receives from informants, determines
>>> whether there has been any non-compliance with tax law and ensures
>>> that the information is examined and conveyed, if applicable, so that
>>> compliance measures are taken. This program does not offer any reward
>>> for tips received.
>>>
>>> The new Offshore Tax Informant Program (OTIP) has also been put in
>>> place. The OTIP offers financial compensation to individuals who
>>> provide information related to major cases of offshore tax evasion
>>> that lead to the collection of tax owing. As of December 31, 2016, the
>>> OTIP had received 963 calls and 407 written submissions from possible
>>> informants. Over 218 taxpayers are currently under audit based on
>>> information the CRA received through the OTIP.
>>>
>>> With a focus on the highest-risk sectors nationally and
>>> internationally and an increased ability to gather information, the
>>> CRA has the means to target taxpayers who try to hide their income.
>>> For example, since January 2015, the CRA has been collecting
>>> information on all international electronic funds transfers (EFTs) of
>>> $10,000 or more ending or originating in Canada. It is also adopting a
>>> proactive approach by focusing each year on four jurisdictions that
>>> raise suspicion. For the Isle of Man, the CRA audited 3,000 EFTs
>>> totalling $860 million over 12 months and involving approximately 800
>>> taxpayers. Based on these audits, the CRA communicated with
>>> approximately 350 individuals and 400 corporations and performed 60
>>> audits.
>>>
>>> In January 2017, I reaffirmed Canada’s important role as a leader for
>>> tax authorities around the world in detecting the structures used for
>>> aggressive tax planning and tax evasion. This is why Canada works
>>> daily with the Joint International Tax Shelter Information Centre
>>> (JITSIC), a network of tax administrations in over 35 countries. The
>>> CRA participates in two expert groups within the JITSIC and leads the
>>> working group on intermediaries and proponents. This ongoing
>>> collaboration is a key component of the CRA’s work to develop strong
>>> relationships with the international community, which will help it
>>> refine the world-class tax system that benefits all Canadians.
>>>
>>> The CRA is increasing its efforts and is seeing early signs of
>>> success. Last year, the CRA recovered just under $13 billion as a
>>> result of its audit activities on the domestic and offshore fronts.
>>> Two-thirds of these recoveries are the result of its audit efforts
>>> relating to large businesses and multinational companies.
>>>
>>> But there is still much to do, and additional improvements and
>>> investments are underway.
>>>
>>> Tax cheats are having a harder and harder time hiding. Taxpayers who
>>> choose to promote or participate in malicious and illegal tax
>>> strategies must face the consequences of their actions. Canadians
>>> expect nothing less. I invite you to read my most recent statement on
>>> this matter at
>>> canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/
>>> statement_from_
>>>
>>> Thank you for taking the time to write. I hope the information I have
>>> provided is helpful.
>>>
>>> Sincerely,
