Independent MLA Elizabeth Smith-McCrossin challenges constitutionality of motion to oust her
Liberal leader calls move 'tyrannical' and vows to fight motion 'using every tool that we have'
The only Independent member of the Nova Scotia Legislature, Elizabeth Smith-McCrossin, is challenging the constitutionality of a motion put forward by a cabinet minister threatening to oust her for statements she made in the House last week.
The MLA for Cumberland North accused the PC caucus she was ejected from in June 2021 of coercing a female staffer into signing a non-disclosure agreement when she left her job in 2018. Smith-McCrossin then tabled a document she claimed was that agreement.
On Monday, Community Services Minister Karla MacFarlane introduced a motion that called on Smith-McCrossin to retract her comments and apologize, or else be removed from the chamber until she complies.
MacFarlane, who became interim leader after Jamie Baillie was removed for "inappropriate behaviour" toward a female staffer, called Smith-McCrossin's allegations false.
The NDA "is non-existent," said MacFarlane. "It does not exist in our files or anywhere because it didn't happen."
On Tuesday, a lawyer acting on Smith-McCrossin's behalf notified the Justice Department that the motion was "unconstitutional."
'It's a very undemocratic step to have me removed'
"It's quite a step to, and I believe — and so does my lawyer — that it's very undemocratic step to have me removed," Smith-McCrossin told reporters outside the legislative chamber.
"I've been elected by the people of Cumberland North to be here in this legislature, to represent them, to be their voice, and I believe that I should be able to do so, based on democracy."
Justice Minister Brad Johns refused to comment on the move.
Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston said Tuesday he wasn't sure when the motion would be debated in the legislature. (CBC)
Premier Tim Houston was noncommittal when asked by a reporter if his government planned to call the motion for debate Wednesday, the first possible opportunity.
"We'll see," said Houston, who suggested the motion might already have achieved its objective.
"You know, it was important that we put the motion [forward] to put some of the facts on the table," said Houston. "We thought that was important, at that time. It's now on the record."
Nova Scotia Liberal Leader Zach Churchill says his party will oppose the motion to remove Smith-McCrossin. (CBC)
MacFarlane offered a similar view.
"Actually the motion [Monday] was to simply hoping that she would retract her incorrect statements and make an apology, and set the record straight," said MacFarlane. "That was an opportunity."
Although sounding conciliatory, the Houston government has extended the schedule for Wednesday's sitting by five and a half hours, perhaps in anticipation of a lengthy debate, if the motion is called.
Liberal Leader Zach Churchill said his caucus would use "every legislative tool" at its disposal to fight the motion and delay its passage.
"If a majority government thinks that they can expel a member, stop them from voting, stop them from debating because they don't agree with what they're saying, that's tyrannical," said Churchill. "Think of the precedent that it sets."
"What if you have a government in there that has the ability to kick somebody out on a confidence vote.... It has serious ramifications that I don't think the government has fully thought through."
Nova
Scotia NDP Leader Claudia Chender told reporters that a drastic step
such as ousting an MLA from the legislature is usually reserved for
criminal cases. (CBC)
Although less combative in tone, NDP Leader Claudia Chender also said her caucus would oppose the motion.
"I think it's really clear that it's an overreach by this party," Chender told reporters. "The notice of motion explicitly asks for the member to be removed from the chamber. The only precedent that we have for that is criminal conduct of a member.
"It's an incredibly powerful tool and one that I think any government, particularly a majority government should do their best never to use."
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
N.S. government says no legal action over social media post on woman’s hospital death
The department sent an email Friday to Elizabeth Smith-McCrossin, the Independent member for Cumberland North, advising her to take down a letter on her Facebook page that she had written to Health Minister Michelle Thompson.
“The email did threaten to take legal action against me if I did not remove the post,” Smith-McCrossin told reporters on Monday.
As of Tuesday, the letter was still on her Facebook page. It names 37-year-old Allison Holthoff and describes her as a wife and mother of three who died at the Cumberland Regional Health Centre on Dec. 31.
In an emailed statement late Tuesday, the department expressed its sympathy to the Holthoff family and said it respects the right of members of the legislature to advocate on behalf of their constituents.
It said its message to Smith-McCrossin had been about the importance of respecting personal health information, adding that “it was not clear from the MLA’s letter that they had the permission of their constituent to share this information.”
There was no indication that the department attempted to find that out, and a spokeswoman in Smith-McCrossin’s office said the department did not inquire before sending its warning Friday.
“Given that the family has made the information public, no further action is being considered,” the department said Tuesday.
The Justice Department’s Friday email, obtained following a request to Smith-McCrossin’s office, advises her that health information is protected under the personal Health Information Act and Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.
“I am drawing this to your attention so you can consider whether you would like to remove personal health information details from your posted correspondence and limit further disclosure of this personal information,” wrote Michelle Higgins, executive director of the department’s legal services division.
“If the personal health information continues to be disseminated on social media, we will consider all available legal options.”
Smith-McCrossin has said she was just doing her job in advocating for a constituent. She said Holthoff’s husband, Gunter Holthoff, came to her looking for help on Jan. 3. The letter to the health minister was posted three days later.
Gunter Holthoff and his 37-year-old wife, Allison, are shown in
this undated handout photo. Allison Holthoff died New Year’s Eve after
she was taken to the emergency room at the Cumberland Regional Health
Care Centre, in Amherst, N.S.
THE CANADIAN PRESS/HO-Gunter Holthoff
Holthoff has since told his wife’s story to several media outlets and provided details of her final hours in hospital.
He said that he took his wife to the hospital when she collapsed in extreme pain after complaining of an upset stomach at their home near Amherst, N.S., around 11 a.m. on Dec. 31.
After being triaged by hospital staff, she waited more than six hours in the emergency department before she was taken to a room inside the unit, he said.
It was another hour before she saw a doctor and received pain treatment.
She later died after doctors determined her condition had deteriorated to the point where she couldn’t be helped. Her cause of death has not been released.
Nova Scotia’s health authority is conducting a review of what happened at the hospital.

N.S. MLA planning legal action after calls to remove her over NDA debate
Last week, Smith-McCrossin tabled legislation aimed at prohibiting the misuse of NDAs, specifically for victims of sexual assault and harassment.
During second reading of the bill, Smith-McCrossin said it was personal and alleged that one of her former employees was “coerced” into signing an NDA with the Progressive Conservative caucus.
The MLA said she introduced the legislation in honour of the woman, who was a junior staffer with the PC caucus at the time. The woman, who later worked for Smith-McCrossin, died unexpectedly at the age of 33 last June. CBC reported her death was due to a brain hemorrhage.
The alleged incident is said to have happened in 2018, when Smith-McCrossin was still a member of the PC caucus. In January of that year, then-PC leader Jamie Baillie was forced to quit after an investigation found he had acted inappropriately and breached the legislature’s policy on workplace harassment.
Smith-McCrossin tabled an unsigned copy of the alleged NDA, which she said she found after her employee’s death.
The province’s current community services minister, Karla MacFarlane, was the interim leader of the party at the time, but she denied having any knowledge of an NDA ever being used.
“There was no disclosure agreements at all between the caucus, between any individual,” she told reporters last week. “I know for certain I did not sign anything.”
And on Monday, MacFarlane said Smith-McCrossin “misled” the house, and made a notice of motion that Smith-McCrossin not be allowed to take her seat until she apologizes and retracts her statements.
In response, Smith-McCrossin said “I only speak the truth.”
Karla MacFarlane said Smith-McCrossin ‘misled’ the house and the PC caucus is ‘very upset’ with the allegations.
Reynold Gregor/Global News
Tuesday afternoon, MacFarlane again insisted that the alleged NDA “never, ever” came from the caucus, herself, or anyone she knew. She called the situation “discouraging and frustrating” and said the caucus is “very upset” with the allegations.
MacFarlane said the intent of her notice of motion was not to expel Smith-McCrossin, but in hopes she would “retract her incorrect statements and make an apology.”
“The step was simply to set the record straight and have a conversation – one that the individual will not have outside the chamber, unfortunately,” she said. “I am totally open to having that conversation, setting the record straight.”
Daughter was ‘ghosted,’ parents say
The parents of Kaitlin Saxton, the former staffer, said in a statement that while their daughter is gone, they feel they “should come forward in one final attempt to lay this to rest.”
Katherine and Michael Saxton alleged their daughter was coerced into signing the NDA, “but what was worse for her was the total abandonment she endured from her ‘friends’ in the caucus office.”
It said she was “ghosted,” “treated like a pariah,” and was “just beginning to live again” when she began working for Smith-McCrossin.
“Sadly her life ended abruptly. Kait was smart, beautiful, compassionate and funny. Our lives will never be the same,” the statement said.
Province says NDAs are a ‘complex issue’
Opposition leaders have questioned the government, asking whether a conflict of interest is keeping the party from moving the NDA bill forward.
Last April, when the NDP first tabled their bill on the matter, the government seemed to be supportive — but in the fall, Justice Minister Brad Johns told reporters it was not a priority.
During question period Tuesday, Liberal leader Zach Churchill asked if the government was considering legislation to restrict the use of NDAs “whose intent is to protect perpetrators, and not victims of sexual assault and harassment.”
Premier Tim Houston responded that he agreed NDAs should “not be used to silence victims of sexual assault,” but added that the province is hearing from “two sides.”
“This is a very complex issue, we’ve had a number, now, of people reach out from the other side, talking about why they may have entered into one of these,” he said. “We have to honour those victims as well.
“We’re doing the research, we’re listening to both sides, we’re taking the issue very seriously.”
Obituary for Kaitlin "Kait" Saxton
With heavy, heavy hearts, we announce the sudden passing of Kaitlin
Mary Page Saxton, our beautiful, beloved baby girl. Kait was the
youngest daughter of Michael and Kathryn Saxton. She was born on a
stormy day in Halifax after a treacherous drive from Truro on February
3, 1989. She is survived by her parents; her brother, Mike and her
sisters, Amy and Johanna; her niece, Bella; aunts, uncles, and cousins
too numerous to mention and her companion and confidante, Vinny - the
Great Pyrenees.Kait was highly intelligent, witty, and beautiful from the inside out. She was an accomplished pianist from the age of six. To quote her piano teacher, “Her music was joyful and came from her heart.” Kait was an exceptional skier from the age of three excelling as a racer and a much-loved ski instructor at Ski Wentworth. She was a natural mediator praised for her skills from a very young age. Kait participated in the peer mediator program in elementary school and honed her skills throughout her short life. She was a loyal friend blessed with varied friendships, remembering everyone’s birthday from playschool onward. She had a great sense of humour, a lilting voice, and a contagious laugh.
Kait attended Dalhousie University and graduated with a BA in Political Science. She worked as a Page at the N.S. Legislature in her final year at Dal which eventually led to a job in the Conservative Caucus office in Halifax where she worked diligently for approximately seven years. She worked from October of last year for the Independent MLA in Amherst, Elizabeth Smith-McCrossin. She loved her job and bonded quickly with Elizabeth, who treated Kait with respect and dignity. She was Legislative and Communications Director doing what she truly loved.
She died too young, but in her generous spirit, donated her organs. She gave so much to everyone she met. Kait was kind, compassionate, loyal, smart, loving, and wise beyond her years. She will be missed by all whose lives she touched. We loved her dearly. We are devastated by our loss.
Donations may be made to a charity of choice.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, June 19th from 2-4pm in Colchester Community Funeral Home, 512 Willow St., Truro, NS. A social gathering will take place after 4pm at the Saxton home, 345 Wentworth Station Road. Everyone welcome.
Methinks Elizabeth Smith-McCrossin and your buddy Chucky Leblanc should be clever enough to understand why the LIEbranos continue to have these blogs taken down N'esy Pas Higgy?

Premier Iain Rankin addresses impaired driving charges from 2003, 2005 Social Sharing 'I'm very very sorry for my actions half a lifetime ago. I was selfish, it has not happened since' Brooklyn Currie · CBC News · Posted: Jul 05, 2021 3:34 PM AT Premier Iain Rankin publicly addressed an impaired driving charge from 2003 on Monday. (Robert Short/CBC) Nova Scotia Premier Iain Rankin on Monday publicly acknowledged he was twice charged with impaired driving nearly two decades ago. "This is something that is well known amongst my family, my circle of friends, and my community. And I want all Nova Scotians to hear it from me," he said at a COVID-19 briefing. Rankin was charged in 2003, when he was 20, with impaired driving and driving with a blood-alcohol content over the legal limit, according to court documents. He was fined and his licence was suspended for a year. Two years later, when he was 22, he was charged again with impaired driving offences, although the case was ultimately dismissed, according to court records. "I make no excuses for my behaviour. I was wrong, and I made a bad decision. I'm very very sorry for my actions half a lifetime ago. I was selfish, it has not happened since," said Rankin, 38. The details of the two cases were first reported Monday by the business and politics news site allnovascotia.com. 2005 conviction, appeal Rankin said of the 2005 charges that he was "eventually found to be innocent." He did not elaborate. Court records indicate, however, that following a trial he was found guilty of impaired driving, and not guilty of driving with a blood-alcohol content above the legal limit. He was sentenced to 14 days in jail to be served on weekends. He was also handed a two-year driving prohibition and a year's probation that included the condition that he attend substance abuse assessment and counselling as directed by a probation officer. His conviction was overturned on appeal on January 9, 2007, and a retrial was ordered. The Crown offered no evidence, and the charge was dismissed, according to court records. On Sept. 5, 2003, Rankin pleaded guilty in provincial court to having a blood-alcohol level exceeding 0.08, after being charged two weeks earlier. His sentence included an order prohibiting him from driving for one year, a one-year licence suspension and a $1,200 fine. Information disclosed to Liberals in 2013 Rankin said he disclosed the charges to then-premier Stephen McNeil, and the Nova Scotia Liberal Party, when he first ran in the riding of Timberlea-Prospect in 2013, and again when he decided last fall to run for the Liberal leadership. It's the first time Rankin has disclosed the information publicly in front of news cameras and journalists. He said his declaration came after discussions of the charges were raised internally earlier Monday, but he would not elaborate, calling it "immaterial." A reporter for allnovascotia.com, Brian Flinn, confirmed to CBC News he was the journalist asking questions about the charges. He said he emailed the premier's office earlier Monday afternoon but did not hear anything until the COVID-19 briefing. Rankin's father, Reg Rankin, who served on Halifax regional council, also has a history of being charged with impaired driving. https://www.cbc.ca/news/ Halifax Coun. Reg Rankin charged with impaired driving Mayor Mike Savage says he's disappointed, says Rankin 'needs to reflect' CBC News · Posted: Mar 27, 2014 12:53 PM AT | Last Updated: March 27, 2014 An RCMP vehicle outside of Reg Rankin's house on Wednesday. (CBC) Halifax Regional Municipality Mayor Mike Savage says he's disappointed to learn a member of the regional council has been charged with impaired driving. Reg Rankin, the councillor for Timberlea-Beechville-Clayton Park West, was arrested for impaired driving after a car struck his house in Timberlea on Wednesday night. Rankin told CBC News on Thursday he was charged the previous night with impaired driving, but said he had no other comment. Three years ago, Reg Rankin took a leave of absence from Halifax regional council to seek professional help and medical treatment. (CBC) Savage said Rankin is likely aware of how serious a situation he finds himself. "I was disappointed, obviously, when I heard about it," Savage said Thursday. "But I don't want to prejudge the circumstances of it. We need to do some more information gathering. Reg needs to reflect." Nova Scotia RCMP were called to a house located at 82 Maplewood Dr. at around 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday after reports that a car had driven into the Timberlea home. According to property records, the house belongs to Rankin and his wife. Nearly three years ago, Rankin took a leave of absence from Halifax regional council to seek professional help and medical treatment. The reason was not disclosed. Rankin is scheduled to appear in court on May 5 on the impaired driving charge. He has been issued a temporary licence for seven days to get his affairs in order, after which he will be barred from driving for three months.

Dear David Amos MLA Weekly Update Date Tuesday July 6th, 2021 My Mission as MLA for Cumberland North Serve the people Build Unity & Trust Influence Legislation & public policy For the greater good. Educate and Build Capacity Promote the people and area, Build a world-class health care system And improve population health. I have some news to share to start the week. I don’t know when Iain Rankin is going to call the next election. But I do know this. When Iain Rankin calls the election, I will be running as an Independent candidate for re-election as MLA for Cumberland North. You, the good people of Cumberland North know me. You know I will always put your priorities first. I will always fight for you. No apologies. Running as an Independent outside of party politics isn’t easy. If the people of Cumberland North continue to stand by me, I will continue to fight for you. For better health care. For regional co-operation to keep our borders open. For getting rid of the Cobequid Pass tolls. For supporting local food and the farmers who make it happen. I’m the only candidate in Cumberland North who doesn’t have to answer to a party leader in Halifax. I’m not a career politician. I& nurse. I have owned and operated my own businesses. I have put people to work and met a payroll. Above all, I’m a fighter who doesn’t back down. With your support, let’s put the people of Cumberland North first. I learned at a young age to stand my ground and I am not about to change now. Last Week in Politics Last week my staff and I worked with constituents on many matters of importance such as lack of family physicians, housing, roads, Covid rules and restrictions, NS NB Border, addictions and mental health and more. I continue to work with Municipal partners on various projects throughout Cumberland North, This Week In Politics Local This week I will be meeting with constituents to continue to work on ongoing projects for family physician recruitment and addictions and mental illness recovery projects. National The Borders are opening between Canada and US this week for fully vaccinated persons. We also see the toll of the wild fires in British Colombia. Heartbreaking to see the devastation and deaths from the deadly fires. Pandemic Update Vaccine Vaccination for the Covid-19 virus continues to be the main tool we have to prevent illness and death. If you require assistance to book your Covid19 vaccine please call my office and my staff can provide you with some help. Our office phone number is 902-661-2288. NS has only 26.1 % of the population with 2nd doses of vaccine while NB has 39.6% of the population vaccinated with 2nd doses. NB also vaccinates persons with medical conditions that deems them high risk but our NS government refuses. Nova Scotia NS has 53 active cases of Covid19 as of Monday morning with 3 new cases being identified on Sunday. No one in ICU in the entire province and only 3 people in hospital. https://novascotia.ca/ New Brunswick NB has 21 active cases of Covid-19 as of Monday morning with only 1 new case identified on Sunday. NB has no one in ICU and 4 persons on hospital with Covid infections. https://experience.arcgis.com/ Birthdays Monday Ashleigh Coffin and Sheila Rushton Tuesday Laura Wells Wednesday Mal MacDonald Thursday Kittee Baxter and Carl LeBlanc Friday Chuck MacInnis Saturday Krista Cormier and Adrian VanVulpen Obituaries Hermina "Mini" Porter https://www.

Nova Scotia does start in Cumberland. Cumberland is the Gateway for the Atlantic Cooridor and on average 50 million dollars worth of goods travel through our Gateway. We may only have 3% of the population of NS but we provide critical infrastructure for NS, the Maritimes, Canada and the entire Eastern Seaboard. Never underestimate your value as citizens of Cumberland. We are important and we will stand for our area of the province. It’s time for Cumberland to receive the respect we deserve and we will grow and become all that we are meant to be. Have a great week, take care of yourselves and take care of one another.

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.

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.

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.
