Mount Carleton snowmobile project remains in limbo as judge reserves decision

A judicial review of the decision to approve the $1.4 million project was filed in 2015


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."

Judicial review begins in case against Mount Carleton snowmobile trail project

$1.4-million snowmobile-grooming project has been stalled by a judicial review since 2015


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.

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.

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.

There are no sacred grounds anywhere on the planet.

It’s the 21st century and time to consider lands do not have rights.

People do.

Reply to @Chris Paul: Snowmobilers are amongst the most environmentally aware groups. It's the useless ATVs that destroy land and flora. 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.

David R. Amos 
Reply to @Chris Paul: Eroded on a daily basis??? That the understatement of the year. Never mind AtVs and snowmobiles. Methinks after you hike to the top look around then you should ask yourself why your taxpayer dimes are funding the building of roads all around the park so the greedy dudes can mow down what is left of our forests and give us less than nothing for the logs N'esy Pas?

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]

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.

> Wolastoq grand chief 'drastically disappointed' with Supreme Court ruling
>
> Court rules lawmakers don't have duty to consult Indigenous peoples
> Jordan Gill · CBC News · Posted: Oct 11, 2018 7:28 PM AT
>
> 'This commitment to nation-to-nation relationship between Indigenous
> people and their governments with the federal government has fallen to
> the wayside,' says Ron Tremblay, the grand chief of the Wolastoq Grand
> Council. (CBC)
>
> The grand chief of the Wolastoq Grand Council said he's "drastically
> disappointed" by Thursday's Supreme Court ruling that would give First
> Nations a smaller say in decisions that affect their rights.
>
> The court ruled lawmakers do not have a duty to consult Indigenous
> peoples before a law is passed in Parliament, even if the law could
> interfere with Indigenous treaty rights.
>
> "It seems to me all the past promises that the Trudeau government has
> put forward are now being all erased," Grand Chief Ron Tremblay said
> of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's pledge to reconsider how government
> recognizes Indigenous rights and to develop a new framework for
> consultation.
>
> In the case before the Supreme Court, members of the Mikisew Cree
> First Nation in Alberta argued the government had a duty to consult
> them on the development of legislation that could affect their treaty
> rights.
>
> •Supreme Court rules Ottawa has no duty to consult with Indigenous
> people before drafting laws
> •Supreme Court to rule on Indigenous rights case that could have
> sweeping implications for Parliament
>
> The court ruled that not only did the government not have an
> obligation to consult during the development of the  legislation, but
> there also was "no binding duty to consult before a law was passed."
>
> The court made a distinction between the executive branch, which would
> include the prime minister and cabinet, and Parliament, which passes
> laws.
>
> Lawyers for the federal government argued that in this case, the prime
> minister and cabinet were acting in their legislative roles, not their
> executive ones.
>
> Tremblay said he sees this position as another of what he called
> broken promises from the federal government.
>
> "This commitment to a nation-to-nation relationship between Indigenous
> people and their governments with the federal government has fallen to
> the wayside."
>
> No duty to consult
>
> The Supreme Court ruled lawmakers don't have to consult Indigenous
> peoples before passing laws that may interfere with their treaty
> rights.
>
> The court's decision stems from a lawsuit filed by the Mikisew Cree
> over two federal bills introduced in 2012 that changed environmental
> laws.
>
> The Mikisew Cree argued the changes could damage the environment,
> therefore infringing on hunting and fishing rights.
>
> The Supreme Court upheld a Federal Appeal Courts Ruling that struck
> down a Federal Court ruling that the government had a duty to consult
> with Indigenous peoples on laws.
>
> One of the federal government's arguments against consultation was
> that consulting on every bill before it became law was an undue burden
> and would slow down legislation.
>
> Tremblay doesn't buy that argument.
>
> "That's a very western colonial way of thinking," said Tremblay.
>
> "If you look at our traditional way of governing our own people …
> before we would move forward in any major decision making that we
> would make sure we had total consensus of the people, or the nations
> involved."
>
> Treaty rights
>
> Tremblay is concerned about what the ruling will mean for future
> consultations on resource development projects, such as the planned
> Sisson mine. (Northcliff Resources Ltd.)
>
> While the lawsuit that brought about the ruling was filed by a First
> Nation in Alberta, it has wide-reaching implications.
>
> Legislators now have no obligation to consult with Indigenous peoples
> on laws before they are passed.
>
> Tremblay has concerns about what the ruling could mean for Wolastoqey
> hunting and fishing rights, especially when it comes to the proposed
> Sisson Mine Project in central New Brunswick.
>
> "That's our traditional homeland where our people [go] to hunt moose and
> deer,"
>
> "That's one of the only areas where the salmon still go up to spawn …
> I'm concerned about our treaty rights, that the government will move
> forward with any [project] without our consultation or without our
> agreement."
>
> Tremblay said the Wolastoqey Nation will now have to gather all its
> members to plan for the next steps.
>
> 'Sad day'
>
> "This is a very sad day in Canada for the very first peoples that were
> here," he said.
>
> "Canada continues, and their court systems continue, to ignore the
> fact that we, as Indigenous people, were the first peoples here since
> time immemorial. … Our rights continue to keep on being chopped by
> this colonial system."
>
> The court's ruling said Indigenous peoples would still have a remedy
> when their rights are undermined by a new law.
>
> "Simply because the duty to consult doctrine, as it has evolved to
> regulate executive conduct, is inapplicable in the legislative sphere,
> does not mean the Crown is absolved of its obligation to conduct
> itself honourably."

>>
>> 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?

>> Canada’s and Canadians free ride is over. Canada can no longer hide
>> behind Amerka’s and NATO’s skirts.
>>
>> When I was still in Canadian Forces then Prime Minister Jean Chretien
>> actually committed the Canadian Army to deploy in the second campaign
>> in Iraq, the Coalition of the Willing. This was against or contrary to
>> the wisdom or advice of those of us Canadian officers that were
>> involved in the initial planning phases of that operation. There were
>> significant concern in our planning cell, and NDHQ about of the dearth
>> of concern for operational guidance, direction, and forces for
>> operations after the initial occupation of Iraq. At the “last minute”
>> Prime Minister Chretien and the Liberal government changed its mind.
>> The Canadian government told our amerkan cousins that we would not
>> deploy combat troops for the Iraq campaign, but would deploy a
>> Canadian Battle Group to Afghanistan, enabling our amerkan cousins to
>> redeploy troops from there to Iraq. The PMO’s thinking that it was
>> less costly to deploy Canadian Forces to Afghanistan than Iraq. But
>> alas no one seems to remind the Liberals of Prime Minister Chretien’s
>> then grossly incorrect assumption. Notwithstanding Jean Chretien’s
>> incompetence and stupidity, the Canadian Army was heroic,
>> professional, punched well above it’s weight, and the PPCLI Battle
>> Group, is credited with “saving Afghanistan” during the Panjway
>> campaign of 2006.
>>
>> What Justin Trudeau and the Liberals don’t tell you now, is that then
>> Liberal Prime Minister Jean Chretien committed, and deployed the
>> Canadian army to Canada’s longest “war” without the advice, consent,
>> support, or vote of the Canadian Parliament.
>>
>> What David Amos and the rest of the ignorant, uneducated, and babbling
>> chattering classes are too addled to understand is the deployment of
>> less than 75 special operations troops, and what is known by planners
>> as a “six pac cell” of fighter aircraft is NOT the same as a
>> deployment of a Battle Group, nor a “war” make.
>>
>> The Canadian Government or The Crown unlike our amerkan cousins have
>> the “constitutional authority” to commit the Canadian nation to war.
>> That has been recently clearly articulated to the Canadian public by
>> constitutional scholar Phillippe Legasse. What Parliament can do is
>> remove “confidence” in The Crown’s Government in a “vote of
>> non-confidence.” That could not happen to the Chretien Government
>> regarding deployment to Afghanistan, and it won’t happen in this
>> instance with the conservative majority in The Commons regarding a
>> limited Canadian deployment to the Middle East.
>>
>> President George Bush was quite correct after 911 and the terror
>> attacks in New York; that the Taliban “occupied” and “failed state”
>> Afghanistan was the source of logistical support, command and control,
