Ex-deputy justice minister 'missing,' suspended by law society

Yassin Choukri's law practice deemed abandoned with questions surrounding state of trust account

Lawyers misappropriated millions from clients' funds but few faced criminal charges


"Woolley says the best way to bring the numbers down is by stopping the lawyers before the money is taken. "You want to make it so if I have a problem today, I can't fix it this way."

Darrel Pink, executive director of the Nova Scotia Barristers' Society, came to the same conclusion years ago. "We basically asked the question, does what we do as a legal regulator make any difference?" he said. "And when we answered it 'Not really,' it was a pretty profound conclusion for us to come to."

Now go figure why I sent the email below to a snobby lawyer named Amos

Here is a little proof to support what I said on the phone.

A debate

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cFOKT6TlSE

and a lawsuit

https://www.scribd.com/doc/281544801/Federal-Court-Seal

https://www.scribd.com/doc/281442628/Me-Versus-the-Crown

FYI During my debates  in Fundy Royal I made certain that Rob Moore
and his boss Harper and the Libranos knew within the emails found
below that I was not talking through my hat with reference to the TPP
false promises dairy farmers and my concerns about the Internet

As you journalists well know I made good on my promise to sue the
CROWN while running for a seat in Parliament one last time. As usual
CBC and most of the other very unethical "journlists" ignored the
obvious except Rogers TV and the local reporters employed by the
Irving billionaires

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yx8twtlgp4


Clearly Jesse Brown and  his buddy Mean Mikey Geist were yapping about
the TPP before you revealed the PCO's point of view about Harper's
false promise. More importantly to Mean Old Me both those very snobby
and very unethical Upper Canadian spin doctors well aware I knew the
very sneaky Julian Assange long BEFORE he and Birgitta Jonsdotir made
Wikileaks. Hell I have been dicing with  the bast Geist for over ten
years since he stuck his nose in Byron Prior's matters (Another matter
no journalist will report about) Anyone can scroll down or just Google
"Michael Geist" "David Amos" or "Julian Assange"  "David Amos" to see
the proof of what I say is true.

Privy Council Office tracks party promises to prepare for government transition
Senior public servants log and analyze every election promise on a
daily basis to prep briefing books
By Dean Beeby, CBC News Posted: Oct 14, 2015 5:00 AM ET|

Liberals, NDP decline PCO offer of confidential briefing on TPP trade deal
Offer to view trade deal just before election rejected as 'political ploy'
CBC News Posted: Oct 15, 2015 5:11 PM ET|

"Mulcair said Trade Minister Ed Fast broke a promise to make all
details of the accord public ahead of election day.

"Instead of openness and transparency, Canadians are learning details
through leaked information and the government's own self-serving
promotional efforts. That's not acceptable," Mulcair said.

The Privy Council Office is the department that provides non-partisan
support to the prime minister and cabinet. The Conservative campaign
told CBC News the government asked the PCO to offer the briefing to
the opposition parties.

But in a separate letter released Thursday, Liberal candidate John
McCallum accused Prime Minister Stephen Harper of continuing a "lack
of transparency" over the deal's details.

"Despite a commitment by the minister of international trade, Mr. Ed
Fast, to release the text of the agreement so all Canadians can judge
it on its merits before election day, media reports this week state
that the details will remain secret," McCallum wrote.

"It is troubling that with just four days remaining until election
day, you continue to refuse to release the text of the agreement for
Canadians to see."

McCallum noted that a previous briefing attended by party
representatives on Oct. 4 "provided no actual details beyond the
limited information already released publicly."

"It is simply not possible to conduct a meaningful, in-depth analysis
of the 1,500-plus page agreement in 90 minutes," he wrote.

I am included in briefing. I was only leader to participate in the 1st
#TPP briefing. #GPC #elxn42 @CanadianGreens @Politicolnews @PnPCBC

— @ElizabethMay
Conservative campaign spokesman Kory Teneycke told CBC News the
Liberals initially agreed to attend the Friday briefing, while the NDP
declined. Teneycke said the briefing was to be based on the chapter
summaries, since the final text does not exist yet.

A Liberal campaign spokesman referred CBC News to McCallum's letter,
but said any suggestion the party had accepted the offer of the
briefing was false."

Conservative Government Must be Transparent with Canadians during TPP Talks

Posted on July 16, 2012

CHARLOTTETOWN— Liberal International Trade critic Wayne Easter made
the following statement today on Canada’s Trans-Pacific Partnership
(TPP) negotiations:

“According to a recent report, the US will be seeking ‘new market
access’ from Canada in the TPP negotiations. The report noted that a
major component of negotiations would be Canada’s supply management
system.

It is imperative that this Conservative government be completely
transparent on their TPP negotiations, especially in regards to what
Canada is conceding in order to be accepted into this partnership.
Canadian dairy and poultry producers depend on the supply management
system, just as Canadian consumers rely on its stable pricing, and
they all deserve assurance that their livelihoods and food safety will
not be compromised in these negotiations.”



http://www.ctvnews.ca/business/montreal-dairy-company-saputo-says-it-can-adapt-to-any-tpp-deal-1.2501466

"Saputo said some dairy farmers have good reason to be worried if
there are dramatic changes to Canada's protective supply management
system, as demanded by some of the 12 countries involved in
negotiating the trade deal. But he said other farmers are efficient,
can compete with anybody in the world and flourish in an unregulated
system.

The abolition of Canada's dairy supply management system would
threaten 4,500 to 6,000 farms and up to 24,000 direct jobs across the
country, according to a study released last week commissioned by dairy
co-operative and Saputo rival Agropur.

Up to 40 per cent of Canada's milk production would be at risk, said
the 56-page report from Boston Consulting Group."

http://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/tpp-trade-deal-is-now-close-and-for-canada-the-last-big-issue-is-dairy-1.2592586

"Fast used more guarded language on dairy. Of that, he said: "There's
still lots of work to be done."

The Canadian government faces domestic pressure from dairy-producing
provinces, who are not at the negotiating table but have provincial
representatives in Atlanta pushing against any opening to foreign milk
and cheese.

Canada isn't the only country with domestic pressure: the American
delegation has received a public letter from influential lawmakers
urging it to walk away unless it can secure certain gains for American
businesses.

But the biggest U.S. business lobby is urging a deal now.

It says the decade-long TPP project could be destroyed by domestic
politics if it doesn't happen immediately, with elections in Canada,
then the U.S., Japan and Peru next year and governments under pressure
to protect individual sectors.

"If we miss this opportunity I believe we may lose it forever," said
Tami Overby, vice-president at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

"We have the Canadian election. No one knows what that outcome's going
to be. We also get closer to the U.S. 2016 (presidential race) -- that
gets harder. So from my perspective nothing gets better. But the risk
increases, and in some cases quite significantly as time goes by."

As if to underscore her point, NDP Leader Tom Mulcair announced Friday
that he wouldn't consider himself bound to ratify any deal reached
during the election campaign.

Overby encouraged all countries to put some of the proverbial water in
their wine.

For Canada, that wine comes with a little more foreign cheese.

She said New Zealand hasn't asked for much. But it helped spearhead
the TPP project years ago, with its one major demand being access to
dairy markets.

Other Canadian industries are thrilled at the prospect of a deal.

The head of Canada's pro-free-market agriculture group said he expects
a nine-per-cent increase in canola exports alone, with big gains for
other industries including pork, beef and barley.

"We're extremely optimistic for our sector," said Brian Innes of the
Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance, and vice-president of the Canola
Council.

"We face significant trade barriers, this is the most ambitious deal
in decades, and it could have a major impact on our ability to
export."

Transfer of Canadian banking records to U.S. tax agency doubled last year
Documents for thousands of Canadian residents transferred under
controversial FATCA legislation

By Elizabeth Thompson, CBC News Posted: Jan 29, 2017 5:00 AM ET

Banking records of more than 315,000 Canadian residents were turned
over to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service last year under a
controversial information sharing deal, CBC News has learned.

That is double the number transferred in the deal's first year.

The Canada Revenue Agency transmitted 315,160 banking records to the
IRS on Sept. 28, 2016 — a 104 per cent increase over the 154,667
records the agency sent in September 2015.

Lisa Damien, spokeswoman for the CRA, attributed the increase to the
fact it was the second year for the Canada-U.S. information sharing
deal that was sparked by the U.S. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act
(FATCA).

"The exchange in September 2015 was based on accounts identified by
financial institutions at the time," she said. "The number of reported
accounts was expected to increase in 2016, because the financial
institutions have had more time to complete their due diligence and
identify other reportable accounts."

The transmission of banking records of Canadian residents is the
result of an agreement worked out in 2014 between Canada and the U.S.
after the American government adopted FATCA. The U.S. tax compliance
act requires financial institutions around the world to reveal
information about bank accounts in a bid to crack down on tax evasion
by U.S. taxpayers with foreign accounts.
Dual citizens, long-term visitors affected

The deal requires financial institutions to share the banking records
of those considered to be "U.S. persons" for tax purposes — regardless
of whether they are U.S. citizens.

Among the people who can be considered by the IRS as "U.S. persons"
are Canadians born in the U.S., dual citizens or even those who spend
more than a certain number of days in the United States each year.

Former prime minister Stephen Harper's government argued that given
the penalties the U.S. was threatening to impose, it had no choice but
to negotiate the information sharing deal. The former government said
it was able to exempt some types of accounts from the information
transfer.

The Canada Revenue Agency triggered controversy after it transferred
the first batch of Canadian banking records to the IRS in September
2015 in the midst of the election campaign, without waiting for an
assessment by Canada's privacy commissioner or the outcome of a legal
challenge to the agreement's constitutionality.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Treasury Board President Scott Brison
and Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale have dropped calls to scrap
the deal, which they had made before the Liberals came to power.
Watchdog wants proactive notification

Privacy Commissioner Daniel Therrien has raised concerns about the
information sharing, questioning whether financial institutions are
reporting more accounts than necessary. Under the agreement, financial
institutions only have to report accounts belonging to those believed
to be U.S. persons if they contain more than $50,000.

Therrien has also suggested the CRA proactively notify individuals
that their financial records had been shared with the IRS. However,
the CRA has been reluctant to agree to Therrien's suggestion.

NDP revenue critic Pierre-Luc Dusseault said the increase in the
number of files transferred was "surprising," and he questioned
whether financial institutions are only sharing records of accounts
worth more than $50,000.

"I don't see how there would be 150,000 more accounts reportable to
the IRS in one year. It is something I will look into."

Dusseault said the CRA should notify every Canadian resident whose
banking records are shared with the IRS.

Lynne Swanson, of the Alliance for the Defence of Canadian
Sovereignty, which is challenging the information sharing agreement in
Federal Court, said she has no idea why the number of banking records
shared with the IRS doubled.

"It still seems low in comparison to the number of Canadians that are
affected by this," she said. "It is estimated that a million Canadians
are affected by this."
Hopes for repeal

Swanson hopes that U.S. President Donald Trump, or Congress — which is
now controlled by the Republican Party — will scrap FATCA. The
Republican platform pledged to do away with the information collecting
legislation.

"FATCA not only allows 'unreasonable search and seizures' but also
threatens the ability of overseas Americans to lead normal lives," the
platform reads. "We call for its repeal and for a change to
residency-based taxation for U.S. citizens overseas."

Swanson's group is also hoping the Federal Court of Canada will
intervene, although a date has not yet been set for a hearing.

"A foreign government is essentially telling the Canadian government
how Canadian citizens and Canadian residents should be treated. It is
a violation of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms."

Lawyers misappropriated millions from clients' funds but few faced criminal charges

Disciplinary actions include suspension, disbarment for professional misconduct

By Katie Pedersen, Katie Nicholson, Jacques Marcoux, CBC News Posted: Feb 16, 2017 11:00 AM ET

A CBC News analysis of public records over six years shows law societies in Canada sanctioned 220 members for taking or mishandling money from clients or overcharging them, either negligently or intentionally.

More than 200 Canadian lawyers who were disciplined by their law societies between 2010 and 2015 misappropriated about $160 million of their clients' funds, a CBC News investigation has found.

But most of those lawyers were never charged with crimes. CBC could find evidence of criminal prosecutions involving fewer than 10 per cent of the total number of disciplined lawyers in that time frame.

An analysis of public records over six years shows law societies sanctioned 220 members for taking or mishandling money from clients or overcharging them, either negligently or intentionally.​

Lawyers were punished for a variety of infractions, including helping themselves to clients' trust funds, keeping money that belonged to a deceased client's estate, mishandling of client funds, charging for services not provided and charging fees that were so unreasonable that they constituted misconduct.


While some lawyers argued they were not guilty of deliberately doing anything wrong, many others admitted to misappropriation. Some said they lied to regulators when clients complained or when they were caught in spot audits.

Penalties ranged from admonitions and fines to suspensions and disbarments. In some cases, law societies allowed lawyers facing disciplinary charges to resign.

Bette Hawley of Ottawa hired lawyer Luc Barrick in 2010 and paid him a retainer to help with a housing problem. Barrick was later found by the Law Society of Upper Canada to have "misappropriated and/or misapplied" about $360,000 from his clients.

The Law Society determined he had misappropriated $650 from Hawley.

"Any misappropriation of in-trust money should be treated as a criminal offence. It's stealing money," said Hawley.

Left the country


Barrick left Canada in 2011 for France and was disbarred in October 2013.

Luc Barrick
Luc Barrick was disbarred in October 2013 after the Law Society of Upper Canada found that he had misappropriated funds given to him in trust.

He told the CBC he left Canada for health reasons and all accusations that he improperly used trust funds are unfounded. He says he intends to return to Canada one day to try to overturn his disbarment.

Criminal convictions are rarely a consequence for lawyers who take clients' money. CBC's investigation could only identify 19 examples of criminal prosecutions between 2010 and 2015. Six of the prosecutions involved lawyers who were disciplined prior to 2010.

One reason for the small number of charges or convictions may be the higher burden of proof required in criminal cases.

In 2015, an Ontario Superior Court judge acquitted a disbarred lawyer of fraud, saying that bad work by a lawyer doesn't necessarily constitute fraud.

Other factors

John Sliter, a retired RCMP superintendent who spent 20 years investigating and managing white collar crime cases, thinks other factors are also at play.

"It becomes very daunting for investigators to even think about investigating, let alone think about facing a potential prosecution, so often what happens is they simply rely on regulation to solve the problem for them," he said.

"In other words, if they've been dealt with by the law society, political masters and police managers will feel that will suffice and that there's no need to pursue a criminal prosecution."

The CBC investigation found Ontario and Quebec had the highest number of disciplined lawyers, but the types of punishment meted out were different.


In Ontario, 71 lawyers were disciplined for taking money from their clients between 2010 and 2015. Seventeen lawyers were suspended and 49 were disbarred for their misconduct. Others still await punishment.

In Quebec, 80 lawyers were disciplined for taking money improperly. Four were given permanent disbarments, while 58 faced temporary disbarments. Some were disciplined more than once during the time period.

CBC News calculated that the median duration of each temporary disbarment handed out in Quebec was 12 months.

The Law Society of Manitoba has referred 10 cases involving lawyers it disciplined to the police since 2010. None of those lawyers faced criminal charges.

"In every instance where a lawyer is convicted of misappropriating client funds there would be a report made to the authorities," Law Society of Manitoba spokesperson Kris Dangerfield said in an email.

"We do not receive confirmation from the authorities confirming whether in fact they have chosen to commence an investigation into the lawyer's conduct."

'Too easy to steal'

Alice Woolley, president of the Canadian Association for Legal Ethics who teaches at the University of Calgary, says no matter how harsh a punishment is, the lawyer will think he's the one who won't get caught.

"If you make it easy for people to cheat, they cheat. If you make it hard, they don't cheat. If people are stealing money that means it's too easy to steal money," she said in an interview.

Woolley says the best way to bring the numbers down is by stopping the lawyers before the money is taken.

"You want to make it so if I have a problem today, I can't fix it this way."

Darrel Pink, executive director of the Nova Scotia Barristers' Society, came to the same conclusion years ago.


"We basically asked the question, does what we do as a legal regulator make any difference?" he said.

"And when we answered it 'Not really,' it was a pretty profound conclusion for us to come to.

"Most lawyer theft is they take a little bit, they intend to give it back, they take a little bit more. They are supporting a gambling habit," said Pink. "And therefore if you could stop them early, you could prevent a lot of harm."

Early signs


Pink says there are usually symptoms such as poor accounting and accounting mistakes. If the lawyer keeps getting away with it, that can eventually lead to missing money.

He is working to get provincial legislation changed so that the law society can regulate law firms and address these accounting problems before they escalate.

Woolley says change can be difficult in a profession that is self-regulated.

"The problem with self-regulation is that it stops innovation, it stops people from making the changes that need to be made because they're afraid of what it might mean for the profession."

A note on methodology: CBC News compiled information about discipline cases and prosecutions between Jan. 1, 2010, and Dec. 31, 2015, by collecting material from provincial law societies, legal and court databases and media reports. We included all instances in which lawyers were sanctioned by their law societies for improperly taking or mishandling money from client trust funds or overcharging clients to an extent that led to professional misconduct. This includes deliberately overcharging, charging for services never provided, outright fraud and breaching law society rules respecting client funds. Because there is no single comprehensive source for this information, it is possible not all relevant cases of discipline and criminal prosecution were captured. In about 30 discipline cases, it was not possible to provide an estimate of the amount of money clients may have lost.
