Is the carbon tax an easy scapegoat for high food prices?
Affordability arguments in favour of killing the tax ignore the impact
climate change has on food prices

Aaron Wherry · CBC News · Posted: Oct 07, 2023 5:00 AM ADT

ignores some inconvenient facts. (Frank Gunn/The Canadian Press)

Seven years ago this week, Justin Trudeau stood in the House of
Commons and announced that his government would implement a national
price on carbon emissions.

It remains one of the boldest and most consequential decisions of his
time in office. It's also one of the most loudly contested — even
after two federal elections that might have been expected to settle
the issue.

This week, the House voted on yet another Conservative motion calling
on MPs to condemn the carbon tax — the Official Opposition's fifth
such motion in the last 12 months. This time, the Conservatives were
able to win the support of one Liberal backbencher — Ken McDonald, who
represents the Newfoundland riding of Avalon — illustrating the public
consternation Liberal climate policies are facing in Atlantic Canada.

But the Conservatives are also hammering away with television ads that
blame the carbon tax for the high price of groceries, an argument that
might hold particular power as Canadians prepare to celebrate
Thanksgiving.

Poilievre's statements about the impact carbon pricing has on
affordability ignore one big factor: the rebates. (Ben Nelms/CBC)

"Mr. Speaker, when one taxes the fuel of the farmers who make the food
and the fuel of the truckers who ship the food, then one taxes all
those who buy the food," Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre told the
House this week, ably reenacting his party's ads.

This period of high inflation certainly presents a fresh political
test for any climate policy that creates a new cost for industry or
consumers. But in the debate about food prices, the carbon tax is
being saddled with an outsized and undeserved role — one that,
ironically, distracts from the very real impact climate change and
extreme weather are having, and will have, on the cost of groceries.
What's really driving up food prices?

It's not that the carbon tax has no impact on food prices and
inflation. It's just not obvious that it is having a particularly
large impact.

The Bank of Canada has estimated that the carbon tax increases
inflation by 0.15 per cent. Trevor Tombe, an economist at the
University of Calgary who has studied the impact of the carbon price
on consumer costs, points to Statistics Canada data that suggests its
impact on food prices is less than one per cent.

That's not nothing, and every dollar counts when it comes to the cost
of essentials, particularly for those on low incomes.

But concerns about the impact of the carbon tax also tend to ignore
the fact that the policy has two parts — a fuel charge collected by
the federal government and a rebate that returns 90 per cent of the
revenue generated by the levy to Canadian households. (The remaining
10 per cent is directed toward businesses, farmers and Indigenous
communities.)

    N.L. Liberal MP votes against carbon tax a 2nd time, says
Guilbeault wrong messenger for policy

    Analysis
    Are we voting with our wallets to overheat the planet?

    'Best-before date' looms over Liberals if Canadians don't get a
break, says MP Ken McDonald

Unlike any number of other federal and provincial policies that might
be said to contribute to the cost of food — from corporate taxes to
food safety regulations — the federal carbon tax comes with a rebate.

The parliamentary budget officer has consistently found that nearly
all households receive more from the rebate than they pay in direct
and indirect costs. Only households in the highest income quintile are
projected to pay out more than they receive — because they consume
more. Repealing the carbon tax could actually leave many Canadians
worse off.

Recent polling suggests a sizeable number of Canadians like the idea
of reducing or eliminating the carbon tax. Maybe the same would be
true of a poll about any kind of tax. Regardless, the Liberals might
need to redouble efforts now to make the case for one of Trudeau's
signature policies.

But any discussion of food prices has to include the impact of climate
change — the very problem that the carbon tax is meant to help combat.

An analysis from Statistics Canada published last November linked
"erratic weather"— including droughts, heat waves, flooding and heavy
rainfall — with increases in the prices of meat, fruit, vegetables,
sugar and coffee. In June, economists at RBC reported that, while food
price inflation was expected to slow, a return to pre-pandemic prices
was unlikely — in part because "extreme weather events are becoming
more frequent across different regions and could meaningfully limit
farm production."

Canadian Press)

Other sources of inflation cited by RBC include Russia's invasion of
Ukraine, supply chain disruptions and labour shortages. And Canada is
hardly alone in feeling the impact on food prices.

Kelleen Wiseman, academic director of the master of food and resource
economics program at the University of British Columbia, said price
increases from extreme weather events typically are temporary. But
Mike von Massow, a professor of food economics at the University of
Guelph, said "the impact of climate [on food prices] is at least an
order of magnitude bigger than the impact of the carbon tax."

"I think that there is little doubt that extreme weather, the
increasing frequency and severity, is not only causing food price
inflation but will lead to ongoing greater instability in food
prices," vow Massow said. "It'll be much more difficult to predict
where we're going because of the unpredictability of these weather
events."

In hopes of containing prices, the federal government has put its
focus on major retailers. Von Massow said that what's really needed is
a broader "food system discussion" that brings all the players
together to talk about building a resilient, integrated system that
can withstand the forces that climate change is unleashing.
Why is the carbon tax taking the blame?

Tombe, who has also dismissed the utility of blaming retailers, has
suggested it would make more sense to look at dismantling the supply
management system for dairy and poultry in Canada. Regardless of how
one feels about that proposal, it's at least interesting to note that
no political party is choosing to make supply management a target
right now — while scorn is being heaped on the carbon tax.

Across the federal parties, support for supply management is virtually
unanimous. Killing it might lower prices of milk, eggs and chicken for
consumers. But the major parties apparently have calculated that the
political and practical benefits of the system outweigh its costs —
that the trade-offs are worth it.

pasture at Tiny Acres Holsteins. A tractor and some of the Bryantons'
fields are visible in the background. Supply management retains broad
support in mainstream Canadian politics, even though it drives up the
cost of food. (Nicola MacLeod/CBC)

The presence of the rebate minimizes the degree to which the federal
carbon tax requires any kind of trade-off. But to the degree carbon
pricing does increase costs for fuel and other goods, the trade-off is
reducing the greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change.

Economists have long argued that putting a price on carbon is the
least expensive way to drive emissions down. And Trudeau is hardly
alone in accepting that logic. According to the World Bank, 23 per
cent of global emissions are now covered by some kind of pricing
policy — up from 13 per cent in 2016.

The federal carbon tax might someday come to be as politically
untouchable as supply management. For now, the Conservatives seem to
believe it's in their interests to direct anger at the carbon tax —
even while they seem unable to say what they would do instead to
reduce emissions.

But if climate policy is going to be scapegoated every time the price
of groceries goes up, Canada is going to have a very hard time
sustaining a serious response to climate change.

The carbon tax provides a source of funds to pay for another Trudeau
income redistribution scheme. There has been no demonstrable impact on
reducing carbon emissions (contrary to what some here are saying), so
it is a tax that does nothing other than to add to our daily cost of
living. Scrap it!

N.L. Liberal MP votes against carbon tax a 2nd time, says Guilbeault
wrong messenger for policy
Ken McDonald was the only member of Parliament to break rank during
the vote on Wednesday

Liberal backbencher Ken McDonald defends voting with Conservatives to
repeal carbon pricing system
Duration 1:13
Featured VideoAvalon MP Ken McDonald was the only member of the
Liberal, Bloc Quebecois or NDP caucuses who sided with Conservative
Leader Pierre Poilievre’s proposal to scrap all carbon taxes.
McDonald, who got a standing ovation from the Conservatives, said he
was standing up for his constituents.

 A Liberal member of Parliament has broken ranks with the government
on its carbon tax for the second time, saying federal Environment
Minister Steven Guilbeault is the wrong person to sell the party's
environmental messaging in Atlantic Canada.

Ken McDonald, MP for Newfoundland and Labrador's Avalon riding, voted
with the federal Conservatives on Wednesday on a non-binding motion to
repeal the carbon tax, the only member of the Liberal, NDP or Bloc
Québécois caucuses to do so. Speaking with CBC News on Thursday, he
said he believes the policy will cost the Liberals votes in the next
election.

"Everywhere I go, people come up to me and say, you know, 'We're
losing faith in the Liberal party," McDonald said in an interview with
the CBC's Power & Politics.

"I think they will lose seats not just in Newfoundland, not just in
Atlantic Canada, but indeed right across the country if they don't get
a grasp on this the way that I think they should.… And if if an
election were called today, I'm not sure if the Liberal party would
actually form the government."

McDonald also said he didn't think federal Environment Minister Steven
Guilbeault is the right messenger for the carbon tax in Atlantic
Canada.

"He's not, because he's so entrenched in it," McDonald said. "And I
get it, where he came from, and his whole idea of making a big
difference in climate change, but you can't do it all overnight. You
can't make it more expensive on people than what they can handle. And
that's exactly what's happening right now."

Liberal MP votes with Conservatives to oppose carbon tax
Duration 8:11
Newfoundland and Labrador Liberal MP Ken McDonald was the only member
of his caucus to vote in favour of a Conservative motion to repeal all
carbon taxes. He says the federal carbon tax disproportionately
affects Atlantic Canada.

The federal Liberals need to look at it from the perspective of people
in rural Atlantic Canada, he said.

"The government has to put a lens on it, a rural lens, for the sake of
a better word, and try and come up with a plan that's satisfactory and
appealable to people who live in rural," he said. "Maybe no plan will
be appealable to rural, I don't know. But I think the government has
to try, and if they do that, I think they got a chance of moving past
it."

It's not the first time McDonald has sided against the party on the
carbon tax. He voted against it in October 2022, prompting a standing
ovation from the Conservatives.

McDonald said Thursday he also voted against the policy to show
support for Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Andrew Furey, who has
asked the federal government to do more to minimize the tax's impact
on the province and Atlantic Canada.
Fellow N.L. MP says Opposition motion doesn't help Canadians

In Corner Brook on Thursday, Gudie Hutchings, Liberal MP for N.L.'s
Long Range Mountains riding, noted McDonald was the only one who
didn't vote with the government.

"The Bloc voted with us, the NDP voted with us as well. I believe in
policies and private members' bills and Opposition Day motions and
motions that are going to make a difference for Canadians. This one
isn't," said Hutchings.

On Thursday in the House of Commons, Conservative Leader Pierre
Poilievre said McDonald's vote shows the policy doesn't help
Canadians.

"This carbon tax is not worth the cost, and it's not just me saying
it. The Liberal member for Avalon has said, and I quote 'We are
punishing rural areas of our country and the most vulnerable people in
society," said Poilievre, who called on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
to listen to Furey's call to "axe the tax."

Trudeau defended the policy, saying the impact of climate change is clear.

"In all the conversations I had with rural Canadians across the
country this summer, they were devastated by the impacts of record
wildfires, of floods, of droughts, of heat waves," Trudeau said.

"They see the impact of climate change, and they know that we need to
continue to fight climate change while putting money back in their
pockets. That's exactly what our price on pollution does."

'Best-before date' looms over Liberals if Canadians don't get a break,
says MP Ken McDonald
Liberal MP hopes federal government will claw back taxes on gas and heating oil

 At least one Liberal MP representing Newfoundland and Labrador
believes the clock may be ticking on his party's time in power.

Parliament is back in session after a summer of increased wildfires,
inflation, spikes in the cost of living, and housing shortages across
the country.

Newfoundland and Labrador hasn't been immune to many of these
problems. The rising cost of rent and lack of available housing is
putting pressure on the province and its municipalities to find a
quick solution.

There's also been a rise in the popularity of opposition Conservative
Leader Pierre Poilievre, according to numerous opinion polls that
point to a widening lead over Justin Trudeau and the federal Liberals.

Although Avalon MP Ken McDonald says his party needs to get a handle
on ahead of the next election or possibly risk losing government.

"I think we have to come up with some policies and some programs that
help to ease the pain of what people are facing today," McDonald told
CBC News.

"That's something that happens regularly. And I don't know if the
best-before date is gone, yet, on the Liberal Party. But it's getting
there if Canadians are not seeing a break real soon."

In October of last year, McDonald was the only Liberal to stand in
support of a Conservative motion to exempt home heating fuel from the
federal carbon tax.

    Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre tours Newfoundland with
promises to cut carbon tax

About 48,000 homes in Newfoundland and Labrador use oil as their
primary source of heating, and with the rising cost over the last few
years some residents' wallets have been squeezed dry — the carbon tax
makes the fuel that much more expensive by 17 cents more per litre.

That's on top of the federal government's Clean Fuels Strategy, which
adds 14 cents to a litre of gas. The provincial Liberals dropped its
own tax on gas on July 1 when the federal strategy came into play.
Tories are hitting pocketbook issues, MP says

Poilievre's campaign has been centred around one slogan: "Axe the
tax." His focus during visits to Newfoundland and Labrador over the
last 18 months has been on lowering the cost of home heating oils.

McDonald believes that's why the opposition leader may be out in front.

stage. Behind him is a black backdrop and Canadian flags. Pierre
Poilievre, leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, has been

"That, I think, hits home to everybody because everybody realizes that
whether it be through the Clean Fuels Strategy or the rise in the cost
of home heating oil, you name it, it's partially because of some taxes
that have been put on to those particular items," he said.

"When you hurt people in the pocketbook, they remember it. When you
promise to not hurt them in the pocketbook, or to eliminate a tax that
they're now paying, that bodes well with the every day Canadian when
it comes to their pocketbook issues."

McDonald said he is not nervous and the mood within his party is
"pretty good" heading into the fall session, and following a national
Liberal caucus retreat in London, Ont.

McDonald said he and others put their concerns on the table.

"What some of us, myself included, have mentioned … is either give a
break on the home heating fuel tax and the Clean Fuel Strategy for a
certain length of time. I think people would look at that as being
favourable," he said.

"Will it ever come back again? I don't know. Will the government
actually do something in that regard? We keep talking about it. We
talk about it to ministers, we talk about it at caucuses. Some of us
are really hoping that we do something to ease the burden, especially
on people that live in rural communities."

Atlantic Liberal MPs press Trudeau for rural carbon tax carve-out
MPs say their constituents need more relief from the rising cost of living

Atlantic Liberal MPs say they want an additional rural carve-out on
the carbon tax to ease cost-of-living pressures specific to Canadians
living outside of major urban centres.

MP Ken McDonald, who represents the riding of Avalon in Newfoundland
and Labrador, said many of his constituents feel abandoned by the
federal government.

He brought their concerns to the attention of Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau during the national Liberal caucus meetings this week in
London, Ont.

"I told him exactly as it is," McDonald said. "We're punishing the
rural areas of our country and the most vulnerable people in our
society."

McDonald is pushing for a special policy for rural Canadians that
would include carbon tax rebates higher than those the backstop
program currently offers.

The federal carbon tax applies in provinces and territories that don't
have carbon pricing systems that Ottawa considers sufficient to lower
greenhouse gas emissions.

The government already gives a supplement to residents of rural and
small communities that increases the amount of rebates in their
province by 10 per cent to account for increased energy needs and
reduced access to transportation options.

Under the program, residents in Newfoundland and Labrador receive
payments every three months: $164 for people who live alone, $82 for a
spouse or common-law partner, $41 per child under the age of 19 and
$82 for the first child in a single-parent family.

In Nova Scotia, those amounts are even lower. Liberal Atlantic caucus
chair Kody Blois said those payments aren't high enough.

"There should be a higher rural rebate," said Blois, who represents
the Nova Scotia riding of Kings—Hants.

"The policy is the right intent, but I think we need to have some adjustments."

McDonald said Trudeau acknowledged there's an issue in rural areas and
said the government will see if there's something it can do.

"People will be very upset when the ballot box comes up the next time
if we don't," McDonald said.

"That's what the prime minister is hearing loud and clear."

McDonald said he was moved to speak up after hearing about the
struggles of rural Canadians. He said one constituent called him to
say she can't afford home heating oil anymore.

"She said, 'I go around my house with a blanket wrapped around me.'
And she said, 'The only time I get to have beef or chicken is if my
niece or nephew invites me out to Sunday dinner,'" he said.

McDonald said he tells that story to everyone he talks to in government.

"I think government is starting to understand it," McDonald said.

"At first, some people said to me, like, there's nobody living like
that … And I said, 'If you don't think people are living like that,
you're not living in the real world.'"

he concludes the national Liberal caucus retreat in London, Ontario.

meetings in London, Ont. on Thursday without announcing any relief for

In Newfoundland and Labrador, he said, many consumer goods come in on
aircraft or ferries, which burn fuel.

McDonald said he isn't surprised by the Liberals' plummeting poll
numbers because Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre's "axe the tax"
campaign is telling people what they want to hear.

He said Trudeau needs to travel across the country, shake some hands
and let people know he still has their backs.

"I hope the government is going to listen and do something or the
government will be in trouble," McDonald said.

McDonald said while Ottawa must do its part to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions, the burden of that effort shouldn't fall on the backs of
the most vulnerable.

"I will continue to stand up for the constituents, which I represent,
whether it's favourable to the government or unfavourable," McDonald
said.

"I want to make sure they have their voice heard."

NWT MP says Bill C-21 must not impede rights of Northern hunters

by NNSL Media December 7, 2022

“There are aspects of (the bill) right now that are a bit blurry for
me and a little bit concerning,” says Northwest Territories Member of
Parliament Michael McLeod. NNSL file photo

The federal government’s proposed legislation that aims in part to
prohibit hundreds of previously legal firearms may be called for a
final vote as soon as this month, but NWT MP Michael McLeod says he is
not yet satisfied with the bill in its current form.

McLeod, a member of the governing Liberal party, said he has long
supported his party’s effort to toughen gun laws since being elected
in 2015 and pointed out that he likes some provisions of the current
draft of Bill C-21. Aspects he approves of include red and yellow flag
laws that would allow court-order prohibitions, handgun freezes,
attention to illegal smuggling and trafficking and stiffer maximum
penalties for gun crimes.

However, he said definitions need to be clearer around what
constitutes “military-style assault weapons” and there needs to be a
better understanding as to why there are some non-semi-automatic guns
on the prohibition list.

He added that Public Safety Canada needs to better acknowledge common
gun use in the North and should improve consultation with Northerners
before a vote is held, particularly Indigenous people, as per Section
35 of the Constitution, the United Nations Declaration of Indigenous
Peoples and specific self-governing agreements.

“There are aspects of (the bill) right now that are a bit blurry for
me and a little bit concerning,” he said. “I don’t know what is being
suggested when it comes to changing the definition of assault weapons.

“I have spoken to the minister in charge, (Public Safety Minister)
Marco Mendicino, and I’ve indicated to him that he doesn’t have my
full support until I really understand this and until I’m completely
convinced (the bill) won’t affect hunters, sport shooters and trappers
in the North.

“I have also indicated that I’m not satisfied that his people have
done a good enough job to consult.”

‘Heated debate’

McLeod admitted he has a personal interest in the issue as he has been
a longtime collector of firearms, so he considers himself well versed
in the need for specifics when placing prohibitions on guns.

“There are already some guns that are not semi-automatics that are on
the list and we need to know why,” he said. “Most of them are because
they exceed the 10,000 joule (projectile limit) but we are trying to
scrub the list to make sure that nothing gets on that list that people
are using for hunting in the North.”

Because of his experience and perspective, there can be “heated”
debate within his own party, he said.

“A lot of times when we have discussions within caucus, I’m the one
with the most guns and probably the one with the most knowledge about
guns,” he said. “We have a large part of the MPs in caucus that… see
guns from a city/urban standpoint and look at it through that lens.
But there are lots from the rural or remote and northern parts of the
country that look at guns and view it in a different light.

“We don’t see it as a weapon but we see it as a tool.”

Raquel Dancho, Conservative MP and vice-chair of the House of Commons
public safety and national security committee that has been examining
the bill, said her party has been opposed to the bill from the
beginning. However, her opposition became stronger in recent weeks as
the government attempted during clause-by-clause reading in committee
to add non-restricted hunting rifles among those proposed to be
prohibited and to redefine a ‘military assault rifle’ with any
semi-automatic gun with the capacity to carry a magazine.

She has called the move “the largest assault on hunters in Canada” and
has charged that the federal government is going after “Grandpa Joe’s
hunting rifle instead of gangsters in Toronto.”

“The problem with that of course is that (the proposed bill)
encapsulates hundreds and hundreds of models of common firearms and
shotguns used for duck hunting or farming,” she said.

“Trudeau has been consistent in saying that he will never come for
hunters and now they are.

“If this legislation stands, it leaves a backdoor open that any listed
hunting rifle can be banned with the stroke of a pen.”

‘Hammered’ with emails

Dancho said that having a voice from provincial or territorial
leadership against the legislation — as Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta have done — could make a difference in presenting a stance
against the bill.

“I would also empower every voter who would like to see hunting remain
in Canada to reach out to the Liberal MP ASAP,” she said. “MPs are
currently getting hammered with thousands of emails on this.”

For his part, McLeod said he has received both support and opposition
to the bill and that he situates himself somewhere in the middle.

Scott Cairns, past president of the Yellowknife Shooting Club, said
he’s concerned that the bill amendments will likely lead to many club
members owning prohibited guns due to the popular use of
non-restricted, semi-automatic guns. Often these firearms are
beneficial to hunters wanting to get shots off quickly when ducks or
geese come into sight or when trying to quickly take down larger game
like deer or caribou.

“Because of the type of gun, the semi-automatic and the fact that they
are extra popular among users makes this a very sweeping prohibition,”
he explained.

“What the federal government is now saying with this law is that they
are taking firearms that were bought over the counter for normal use
and by the stroke of a pen saying that you are not allowed to sell,
use or trade away. It is not acceptable to me and should not be
acceptable to anyone.”

Possession acquisition licence

Cairns said that legal firearm owners already go through a rigorous
and invasive procedure to be able to possess in the first place, which
is among the opposition by gun owners regarding the proposed bill.

To legally own a gun in the Northwest Territories, one must seek out a
Possession acquisition licence (PAL) by first paying a $300 fee and
then taking a Canada Firearm Safety course led by a credible
instructor.

Once passing the course, one must fill out a five-page application
form to send to the RCMP.

Before a permit can be issued, the RCMP thoroughly researches an
applicant’s history, which can include marital and mental health
history and criminal record backgrounds.

After contact with references, a non-restricted firearm licence may
then be issued.

GNWT Department of Justice spokesperson Ngan Trinh said this week that
the territorial government is reviewing recent amendments to the bill
but admitted that questions remain surrounding the proposed
legislation, including on how proposed buyback program would work.

“Community safety and crime reduction is a shared responsibility with
the federal government and we will work with our partners including
Public Safety Canada and the RCMP to assess any implications from the
ban,” Trinh said.

Messages for this story were left with Justice Minister R.J. Simpson
and cabinet as well as the Northwest Territories RCMP on Dec. 1. They
did not respond by press deadline.

Judge slams CRA and Justice Department for 'egregious' conduct in epic
Tax Court battle


Decision likely to affect dozens of Canadians appealing gross
negligence penalties from tax agency

Jason Proctor · CBC News · Posted: Oct 07, 2022 4:00 AM PT |


A tax Court judge has slammed the Canada Revenue Agency for failing to
comply with pre-trial court rules and orders. (Chris Wattie/Reuters)

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.

OTTAWA – The Public Interest Advocacy Centre (PIAC), today announced

either telecommunications, broadcasting or class actions:

    Konrad von Finckenstein is a lawyer and consultant based in
Ottawa. He was previously Chair of the Canadian Radio-television and

Federal Court of Canada and the Commissioner of Competition at the
Competition Bureau of Canada. In addition, he has held senior posts in
the Government of Canada in positions related to international trade,
telecommunications, competition and electronic commerce. Mr. von
Finckenstein has been elected as PIAC’s Chair of the Board.
    Suzanne Lamarre is a lawyer and engineer with the firm of
Therrien, Couture and is a former Commissioner of the CRTC. Maitre
Lamarre works in the areas of telecommunications, radiocommunications
and broadcasting law as a strategic advisor on regulatory and
governmental matters at both the national and international level.

his practice areas including class actions, consumer protection
litigation, competition and price fixing, privacy litigation,

property litigation and arbitration.

“PIAC’s extensive work on behalf of consumers before the CRTC requires
the utmost guidance and insight,” said John Lawford, Executive
Director and General Counsel of PIAC.  “We are therefore thrilled to
add to our Board persons with unparalleled experience to guide our
communications advocacy, as well as an expert in consumer class
actions as this sector becomes more litigious,” he added.

PIAC is a federally incorporated not-for-profit and registered charity
that advocates for consumer interests, and in particular vulnerable

> 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.

Founder: Maayan Ziv

Website: http://accessnow.me/, external link

With AccessNow, Maayan turned personal necessity into proactive
entrepreneurial opportunity. Frustrated by the repetitive process of
businesses claiming to be wheelchair accessible only to discover she
had no access upon arrival, Maayan created AccessNow.

Launched during the Summer 2015 Parapan Games in Toronto, AccessNow is
an application that uses crowdsourcing to collect and share the
accessibility status of locations such as restaurants and hotels,
office buildings, public spaces and tourist attractions. Users can
search for a location’s level of accessibility (accessible, partially
accessible, patio access only, not accessible) or can add information
about a new location. Maayan notes that 4 million Canadians live a
disability. Accessibility barriers can also effect the elderly,
parents with strollers, individuals with temporary injuries and many
others.

More than 2,600 locations in over 100 cities have been pinned so far
to the AccessNow map, with new locations being added every day. Maayan
hopes to widen the breadth of user information, such as locations that
offer braille for individuals with a visual impairment and noise
decibel levels for individuals with autism. It’s all about community
engagement to share information that benefits everyone.

Maayan exemplifies the true meaning of inclusivity and empowerment.
Through AccessNow, Maayan is not just opening doors for people with
disabilities, she is changing the discussion about what accessibility
means, for all people.

"When you create accessibility at your business, you open your doors
to a much larger population of people that you might not have been
able to cater to before. And that’s not just on a humanitarian level;
that’s just good business."


Advisory Council on Jobs and the Visitor Economy

From: Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada

The Advisory Council on Jobs and the Visitor Economy consists of
business owners, entrepreneurs, tourism operators and professionals
who recognize the economic importance of the tourism sector. The
Council will identify important issues facing the tourism sector in
Canada. It will also recommend new ways to increase Canadian tourism
opportunities and competitiveness globally.

In developing the Government of Canada's new Federal Strategy on Jobs
and the Visitor Economy, Mélanie Joly, Minister of Tourism, Official
Languages and La Francophonie, will also count on the support and
expertise of Mr. Dominic Barton, Global Managing Partner Emeritus of
McKinsey, as well as Ben Cowan-Dewar, Chair of Destination Canada.

The Minister and the Department will continue to work closely with
national associations like the Tourism Industry Association of Canada,
the Indigenous Tourism Association of Canada, as well as with other
stakeholders and LGBTQ2 groups to benefit from their knowledge and
expertise as the Strategy is being developed.

Frank McKenna (Chair)

Frank McKenna was appointed Deputy Chair of TD Bank Group on May 1,
2006. He is responsible for supporting the Bank in its customer
acquisition strategy, particularly in the area of Wholesale and
Commercial Banking.

Frank has held numerous leadership positions in both the public and
private sector. For a decade (1987–1997) he was Premier of New
Brunswick, having earned three consecutive majority governments,
including the historic victory in 1987 of all 58 seats in the
legislature. The McKenna government significantly improved the
province's standard of living and quality of life. Among its
accomplishments, it balanced budgets, pioneered e-government services,
attracted innovative industry clusters and improved educational
outcomes.

Frank also played a central role on the national stage, where among
other initiatives, he became a lead advocate for the Canada-US Free
Trade Agreement. Prime Minister Martin nominated Frank as Canadian
Ambassador to the United States of America in 2005, where he was
charged to navigate contentious bilateral issues related to trade and
security.

In 2006, Frank resigned this position upon change of national
government. In the private sector, Frank is in wide demand as a
corporate director. Currently he is the Chairman of Brookfield Asset
Management and is on the board of Canadian Natural Resources. He has
also been Chairman of the Board of CanWest Global and served on the
Boards of Noranda, Shoppers Drug Mart and General Motors.

Frank is a graduate of St. Francis Xavier University as well as
Queen's University, where he completed his post-graduate degree in
political science and the University of New Brunswick Law School. He
was appointed to the Order of Canada in 2008 and is the recipient of
fourteen honourary doctorates.

(2005-2013), he has served as Minister of Economic Development,

In 2009, the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations awarded Chief
Bear the Circle of Honour Award for Community-Based First Nation
Business. In December 2011, Chief Bear received the Saskatchewan Order
of Merit, the highest recognition given to residents of the province.
On January 25, 2012, Whitecap Dakota First Nation signed the Framework
Agreement for Self-Governance, which kick-started Whitecap's journey
towards self-governance. On May 23, 2012, Chief Bear was honoured with
the prestigious Diamond Jubilee Medal, reflecting his commitment to
service. In 2013, he was named an Inaugural Grandey Leadership
Honouree, and the City of Saskatoon also bestowed a municipal park in
his honour.

The 2014 Throne Speech in the provincial Legislature recognized Chief
Bear's "progressive leadership." Most recently, he was the recipient
of an Honorary Doctor of Laws Degree from the University of
Saskatchewan in the fall of 2014. Chief Bear was instrumental in
developing a self-governing Land Code, which created a
business-friendly environment on Whitecap lands, complete with a land
tenure system, commercial infrastructure and a real-property tax law.
Whitecap now serves as a national example of positive community
development and heightened self-determination. To date there has been
approximately $100 million in capital investment in the community and
an unemployment rate reduction from 70 per cent to 5 per cent

Respondent on the cross-appeal
(and formally Appellant)
and
HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN
Appellant on the cross-appeal
(and formerly Respondent)
REASONS FOR JUDGMENT BY THE COURT

I.                    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). It does not mean that there is only one court. If the Federal
Court and this Court were one Court, there would be no need for this
section.
[8]               Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act provide that:
3 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the Federal Court
— Appeal Division is continued under the name “Federal Court of
Appeal” in English and “Cour d’appel fédérale” in French. It is
continued as an additional court of law, equity and admiralty in and
for Canada, for the better administration of the laws of Canada and as
a superior court of record having civil and criminal jurisdiction.

[9]               Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act create
two separate courts – this Court (section 3) and the Federal Court
(section 4). 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. A judge of the Federal Court issued a direction noting that if
Mr. Amos was seeking this order in relation to judges of the Federal
Court of Appeal, it was beyond the jurisdiction of the Federal Court.
Mr. Amos raised the Federal Court motion at the hearing of this
cross-appeal. 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.                 Conclusion
[37]           For the foregoing reasons, we would allow the Crown’s
cross-appeal, with costs, setting aside the Federal Court Judgment,
dated January 25, 2016 and restoring the Prothonotary’s Order, dated
November 12, 2015, which struck Mr. Amos’ Claim in its entirety
without leave to amend.

When people are asked to name a whistleblower these days, they likely
think of the headline-grabbing story of Edward Snowden. His leak of
classified documents detailing widespread surveillance by the National
Security Agency provoked global debate.


"I think in the U.S. system...it was always seen that a whistleblower
is someone who goes outside to a journalist. For most individuals,
that is the last port of call, rather than the first...People don't
think about going to the journalist. So I think there's a lot of
misconception...around whistleblowing."— Anna Myers, Whistleblowing
International Network

Whistleblower Panel at the Ryerson Centre for Free Expression

Paul Kennedy, left, with panellists Anna Myers, David Hutton, and
Sandy Boucher at Ryerson's Centre for Free Expression in Toronto,
March 2017 (Ange Holmes/Ryerson Centre for Free Expression)
In fact, the vast majority of whistleblowing occurs on a smaller scale
— and far away from the media's gaze, and the public's knowledge. That
can make the act of calling out fraud, corruption, and misbehaviour a
risky business for workers who speak up. While they may not need to
flee to Russia like Snowden, the repercussions can be personally and
professionally devastating. That is true particularly when those in
power decide to self-protectively circle their wagons and deliberately
undermine the reputation of the employee who is speaking out. Still,
according to our panel, most whistleblowers likely would do it all
over again.


"From my perspective, a great many whistleblowers — perhaps the vast
majority of them — get into trouble by doing what they see as their
job… And most of them feel they don't have any choice about it, and
many of them have no idea of how serious the consequences may be for
them."  — David Hutton


Sandy Boucher, David Hutton, and Anna Myers collectively share decades
of experience talking to whistleblowers from both the private and
public sectors — from medical researchers to tree surgeons. Through
whistleblower hotlines and meetings, they give them advice, and bear
witness to what happens in the wake of people's disclosures.

That's what unites them in believing that whistleblowing keeps
organizations, governments, and businesses ethical — and democracy
healthy. That's also why they are calling for better protection for
whistleblowers themselves — at home in Canada, and internationally.
Specifically, they call for better government legislation and clearer
policies, as well as investigative reporting that follows through.
There may need to be an attitude change on the employer level as well.
Whistleblowing, after all, is as an opportunity: it exposes a serious
internal problem that can be investigated and curtailed at earlier
stages, with less damage to all involved.

This Judge understnds the meaning of the word Integrity

Date: 20151223

Docket: T-1557-15

Fredericton, New Brunswick, December 23, 2015

PRESENT:        The Honourable Mr. Justice Bell

BETWEEN:

DAVID RAYMOND AMOS

Plaintiff

and

HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN

Defendant

ORDER

(Delivered orally from the Bench in Fredericton, New Brunswick, on
December 14, 2015)

The Plaintiff seeks an appeal de novo, by way of motion pursuant to
the Federal Courts Rules (SOR/98-106), from an Order made on November
12, 2015, in which Prothonotary Morneau struck the Statement of Claim
in its entirety.

At the outset of the hearing, the Plaintiff brought to my attention a
letter dated September 10, 2004, which he sent to me, in my then
capacity as Past President of the New Brunswick Branch of the Canadian
Bar Association, and the then President of the Branch, Kathleen Quigg,
(now a Justice of the New Brunswick Court of Appeal).  In that letter
he stated:

As for your past President, Mr. Bell, may I suggest that you check the
work of Frank McKenna before I sue your entire law firm including you.
You are your brother’s keeper.

Frank McKenna is the former Premier of New Brunswick and a former
colleague of mine at the law firm of McInnes Cooper. In addition to
expressing an intention to sue me, the Plaintiff refers to a number of
people in his Motion Record who he appears to contend may be witnesses
or potential parties to be added. Those individuals who are known to
me personally, include, but are not limited to the former Prime
Minister of Canada, The Right Honourable Stephen Harper; former
Attorney General of Canada and now a Justice of the Manitoba Court of
Queen’s Bench, Vic Toews; former member of Parliament Rob Moore;
former Director of Policing Services, the late Grant Garneau; former
Chief of the Fredericton Police Force, Barry McKnight; former Staff
Sergeant Danny Copp; my former colleagues on the New Brunswick Court
of Appeal, Justices Bradley V. Green and Kathleen Quigg, and, retired
Assistant Commissioner Wayne Lang of the Royal Canadian Mounted
Police.

In the circumstances, given the threat in 2004 to sue me in my
personal capacity and my past and present relationship with many
potential witnesses and/or potential parties to the litigation, I am
of the view there would be a reasonable apprehension of bias should I
hear this motion. See Justice de Grandpré’s dissenting judgment in
Committee for Justice and Liberty et al v National Energy Board et al,
[1978] 1 SCR 369 at p 394 for the applicable test regarding
allegations of bias. In the circumstances, although neither party has
requested I recuse myself, I consider it appropriate that I do so.


AS A RESULT OF MY RECUSAL, THIS COURT ORDERS that the Administrator of
the Court schedule another date for the hearing of the motion.  There
is no order as to costs.

“B. Richard Bell”
Judge


Below after the CBC article about your concerns (I made one comment
already) you will find the text of just two of many emails I had sent
to your office over the years since I first visited it in 2006.

 I noticed that on July 30, 2009, he was appointed to the  the Court
Martial Appeal Court of Canada  Perhaps you should scroll to the
bottom of this email ASAP and read the entire Paragraph 83  of my
lawsuit now before the Federal Court of Canada?

five years after he began his bragging:
