In July 2015, the government announced it would build a snowmobile fueling station and expand trails in Mount Carleton Provincial Park. (CBC)
A Court of Queens Bench judge has reserved his decision to dismiss or allow a judicial review of controversial plans for a snowmobile hub in New Brunswick's Mount Carleton Provincial Park.
The Wolastoq Grand Council, also referred to as the Maliseet Grand Council, and a former park manager filed the review to stop the plans to develop the wilderness park, first announced by the Gallant government in 2015.
William Gould, the lawyer representing the province, argued Monday the review should be dismissed because the grand council has no standing as a "recognized" Indigenous body, and therefore the province had no duty to consult. Gould also argued a judicial review is not the proper avenue to fight the province's decision to approve the project, because of its limited scope.
On Tuesday, Justice Richard Petrie said he will divide his decision into two parts. He will determine the standing of the Wolastoq Grand Council, and also whether a judicial review is the proper avenue to challenge the province's decision.
"This is not a decision in the ordinary sense ... this is a dynamic thing that is going on in my mind," he told the court in Woodstock at the end of two full days of hearings.
"I've heard compelling arguments by both sides … I just hope that you will understand that I'll do my best and I'll try to get a decision out as soon as I can."
Unique argument
Gordon Allen, the lawyer for the council, used affidavits from language and history experts Tuesday to explain how the snowmobile trails plan contravenes a Peace and Friendship Treaty from 1725.
The treaty promises to protect Indigenous peoples' rights to observe their religion. He quoted experts who studied the Maliseet or Wolastoq language who said the language reveals how the Wolastoq people view the world. In their vocabularies, trees and animals are animate, and make up their natural world.
"[Nature is] at the core of their religious economy," Allen told the court.
Ron Tremblay, chief of the Wolastoq Grand Council, says the province didn't consult with the council, and doesn't respect that the provincial park is sacred ground for Wolastoq people. (Hadeel Ibrahim/CBC)
Therefore, Allen argued, when the treaty states "They should not be molested in the practise of their religion," it means Mount Carleton, the last wilderness park in the province, is an essential space for them to practise their way of life.
The snowmobile project contravenes the treaty by threatening the park, Allen said.
The $1.4 million snowmobile hub and trails project is expected to attract hundreds of snowmobilers and tourists to the area.
Previous zoning
Allen told the court that Mount Carleton Provincial Park was zoned in the 1980s by the provincial tourism department. Some zones allowed snowmobile trails while others were protected environments and off-limits to motorized vehicles.
Allen suggested some of the proposed trails go through parts of the park that are not zoned for motorized vehicles.
Gordon Allen, who represents the environmental and Indigenous groups opposing the Mount Carleton project, said the province has contravened a treaty written in 1725. (Hadeel Ibrahim/CBC)
He also alleged the province ignored its own zoning, noting the resource management plan submitted by the province said the park was not zoned at all. Allen called this a "fatal error."
Petrie asked Gould to respond to that point before court took a 15-minute break. After returning, Gould said it's "unorthodox," but did not elaborate.
The right to a judicial review
In his response to Allen's arguments, Gould reasserted the province's position that the Wolastoq Grand Council does not have the authority to claim the right to consultation.
Gould suggested the grand council could one day become the preferred governance structure, but said it's not currently a recognized collective.
Petrie interjected that the treaty from 1725 recognizes "any Indian," bringing the right to an individual and not a collective. But Gould equated Allen's argument to "old testament gospel" that is an "interpretation" of the 1725 treaty.
"I flatly reject that a treaty ... established a constitutional right to the availability of a judicial review," Gould told the court.
Gould added that the province of New Brunswick isn't saying consultation has to be with First Nations only, but it has to be with an umbrella organization or a traditional structure that has "established consultation prerogatives."
Ron Tremblay, chief of the Maliseet Grand Council, submitted an affidavit against the Mount Carleton snowmobile trail-grooming project. He says the province didn't consult with the council and doesn't respect that the provincial park is sacred ground for the Wolastoqiyik people. (Hadeel Ibrahim/CBC)
The provincial government is asking a judge to dismiss a judicial review of its plan to groom snowmobile trails in Mount Carleton Provincial Park, but the Indigenous and environmental groups against the project say they have every right to object.
Monday marked the first day of the review requested by the Maliseet Grand Council and former park manager Jean-Louis Deveau. The groups are fighting the government's plan to open Mount Carleton Provincial Park to hundreds of new snowmobilers.
In a July 2015 announcement, the Liberals, who were in power at the time, promised a $1.4 million snowmobile trail-grooming hub with 343 kilometres of new or re-groomed trails, plus a fuelling station.
On Monday, William Gould, the lawyer for the Progressive Conservative government in charge now, said the judge should dismiss the case and award the province $5,000. He argued the council is not a recognized Indigenous group and the province had no duty to consult with it.
"An established collective is necessary for there to be a consultation duty," Gould said.
However, he admitted the province's consultation with "recognized" First Nations was flawed as well. Consultations weren't done with Kingsclear First Nation until months after the project was approved and after the province had awarded tenders.
"It is not a proper way to consult," Gould told the court.
'Still in the box'
The grand council is a traditional governance body that is not recognized by the Indian Act as bands and councils are, Gould said.
Traditional Grand Chief Ron Tremblay, who asked for the judicial review, was in court Monday and shook his head multiple times at Gould's assertions. In his submissions to the court he referred to the Indian Act as a colonial document that doesn't fully reflect how Indigenous people govern themselves.
In his reply to Gould, council lawyer Gordon Allen accused the provincial government of having archaic ideas about Indigenous governance and traditional leadership.
Before saying a word to the court, he stood up and stepped into a plastic file box near his table. He declared the province is "still in the box" when it comes to understanding who should have been consulted before the project was approved.
Gordon Allen is the lawyer representing environmental and Indigenous groups against the Mount Carleton project. He said the province is contravening a treaty from 1725 by not respecting the importance of the provincial park as a sacred ground for the Wolastoqiyik. (Hadeel Ibrahim/CBC)
He said it would be "intellectually … a fraud" to believe bands elected under the Indian Act are the only ones that have a right to be consulted.
The lawyer alleged the Mount Carleton project contravenes a treaty from 1725 that preserves the rights of Indigenous people and the importance of their relationship to nature.
Mount Carleton Provincial Park is one of the last wilderness parks in the region. It's considered sacred ground by the Wolastoq people.
"It's the 21st century now and it's time to consider these rights," said the council's lawyer.

Al Clark I have to thank the little forest industry detractor for his article last week. When I looked on the map I saw the Micmac (I don't care how it's spelled this week) trail along the Nepisiquit (are we still OK with that name?). An interesting article today about an Appalachian Trail through hiker from the area named Louis M Cormier walking it. He was mis-identified this morning on the SJ morning show but interesting talk nonetheless. He missed the chance to plug his new book but I think I'll buy it from amazon anyway.

Rose Michaud So, the government consulted with all the elected band councils (yes, a little late on Kingsclear), but not this council group who represents themselves? And this council group has no official status within the FN community? And yet they take the government to court and say the government doesn't know who in FN they should be consulting with? Hmmm........ no wonder the government lawyer wants a dismissal.

Reply to @Mark Mealing:
Wait a minute, throw it out? Did I say "throw it out"? I *think* I said "review", as look at it, as in a LOT of things have changed since 1725, and maybe some adjustments should be made. Who signed this treaty in 1725?, Seems to me it was the French, maybe the British ratified it in 1755 (or so?) and was it ratified again in 1867 by Canada? Maybe, maybe not? Who knows? The CBC sure isn't telling us anything of value to anybody.
Donald Gallant There are no sacred grounds anywhere on the planet.

It's enough that everybody has to deal with recognized First Nations, and I'm all for it. But it needs to be according to the treaties and the Law. No disrespect to First Nations. I believe they are an integral part of our country blessed with a world-view we can all benefit from.

Reply to @Chris Paul: Eroded on a daily basis??? That the understatement of the year. Never mind AtVs and snowmobiles.

Yea Right Methinks wars tend to break treaties N'esy Pas? Anyone recall the French Indian War?" From Wikipedia
The Raid on Dartmouth occurred during Father Le Loutre's War on May 13, 1751 when an Acadian and Mi’kmaq militia from Chignecto, under the command of Acadian Joseph Broussard, raided Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, destroying the town and killing twenty British villagers. On May 13, 1751 before sunrise, Broussard led sixty Mi'kmaq and Acadians to attack Dartmouth again, in what would be known as the "Dartmouth Massacre".[67] Broussard and the others killed twenty settlers and more were taken prisoner.[68][f] This raid was one of seven the Natives and Acadians would conduct against the town during the war.
The British retaliated by sending several armed companies to Chignecto. A few French defenders were killed and the dikes were breached. Hundreds of acres of crops were ruined, which was disastrous for the Acadians and the French troops.[69]
Immediately after the raid, a wooden palisade was erected around the town plot.[70] Mi'kmaq and Acadian attacks continued throughout the French and Indian War, which ended fourteen years after Dartmouth was first settled. (For example, in the spring of 1759, there was another attack on Fort Clarence, in which five soldiers were killed.)[71] After the initial raid, no new settlers were placed in Dartmouth again for the next thirty years. Of the 151 settlers who arrived in Dartmouth in August 1750, only half remained two years later.[70] By the end of war (1763), Dartmouth was only left with 78 settlers.[72]

Mac Isaac Whichever party forms government after the next federal election, one of the new government's first tasks should rightfully be to study ways tat the Indian Act is rendered null and void. It's an archaic document that such luminaries as Ms Jody Wilson-Raybould has noted as something that should be voided. I strongly suspect that many of the modern problems dealing with First Nations' treaty rights can be traced directly to a time when the patronizing Europeans mandated that "Indians" need protection "for their own good". Maybe this case is the one that will finally get some federal attention and action to end the Indian Act and replace it with active ongoing consultations between First Nations and the rest of us.

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).

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.

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).

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.

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].

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.

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.

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.

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.
