December 2012
While social media permits individuals an unparalleled ability to
participate in debate, share information and experiences, interact and
keep in contact with a wide variety of family, friends and
acquaintances, it also presents a challenge for the individual as a
parliamentary employee. It is not impossible to reconcile the two, but
the first step is to recognize the challenges and to consider ways to
avoid difficulties.

> At the outset of the hearing, the Plaintiff brought to my attention a

> capacity as Past President of the New Brunswick Branch of the Canadian
> Bar Association, and the then President of the Branch, Kathleen Quigg,

> he stated:
>
> As for your past President, Mr. Bell, may I suggest that you check the

> 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

The LIEbranos big joke this week was nominating the crooked lawyer Mario Dion as ethics watchdog


 https://www.canada.ca/en/government/management/mario-dion.html

Mario Dion












A Montréal native, Mr. Dion, now a retired lawyer, obtained a law degree from the University of Ottawa in 1979. Mr. Dion began his legal career in 1980 as a legal advisor at the then-Ministry of the Solicitor General. In 1988, he became the ADM of Communications, Evaluation and Research at Corrections Canada.

From Corrections Canada, Mr. Dion moved to the Department of Justice where he became the Assistant Deputy Minister of Corporate Services in 1992. In 1995 he was appointed Associate Deputy Minister of Justice. From 1996 to 1997 he served as Deputy Clerk and Counsel at the Privy Council Office, responsible for Legislative House Planning and Machinery of Government and then returned to the Department of Justice as Associate Deputy Minister. In 2003, Mr. Dion was appointed Deputy Minister of Indian Residential Schools Resolution of Canada, where he led efforts to bring closure to 16,000 pending litigation files and, ultimately, the historic 2006 agreement with former residential school students.

Mr. Dion also served as Chairperson of the National Parole Board from 2006-2009 and most recently as Commissioner of Public Sector Integrity from 2011-2014.

In 2015, Mr. Dion was appointed as Chairperson of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada.

Mario Dion nominated as new federal ethics watchdog

If approved, former public sector integrity commissioner would replace Mary Dawson

Sir,

I am in receipt of your email. Again, however, I note that it does not
ask me to do anything within my official capacities. In your voice
mail to me today, you chided me for not acknowledging your email from
last year, so I am taking the time to do so, again today. Unless an
email is addressed specifically to me, for my action, I will not be
directly acknowledging receipt in the future. I will, however, take
note of it.

Parliamentary Review

December 2012
While social media permits individuals an unparalleled ability to
participate in debate, share information and experiences, interact and
keep in contact with a wide variety of family, friends and
acquaintances, it also presents a challenge for the individual as a
parliamentary employee. It is not impossible to reconcile the two, but
the first step is to recognize the challenges and to consider ways to
avoid difficulties.

Dear Sir,

"The Ethics and Conflict of Interest Commissioner (who performs the
duties and functions assigned by the House of Commons for governing
the conduct of its members) is appointed by the Governor in Council
(the Government), after the approval of the appointment by resolution
of the House of Commons (subsection 81(1) of the Parliament of Canada
Act). The Senate is not involved in the approval of this appointment.
Similarly, the Senate Ethics Officer (who performs the duties and
functions assigned by the Senate for governing the conduct of its
members) is appointed by the Governor in Council (the Government),
after the approval of the appointment by resolution of the Senate
(section 20.1 of the Parliament of Canada Act), and the House of
Commons is not involved in the approval of this appointment."

I trust this answers your question.

Regards,

Blair Armitage
Principal Clerk
Senate Committees, and
Clerk of the Committee
Senate Committee on Ethics and Conflict of Interest for Senators

This is no longer innuendo or politically motivated accusations, it has now been proven that our PM violated multiple ethics laws. How can he now refuse to explain himself in front of the ethics committee and still expect to have any credibility?

@Ed Jackson I am having Deja Vu Bigtime. This is the top comment in two CBC articles at the same point in time and I would bet dimes to dollars that CBC will block me for pointing out that simple fact N'esy Pas?

@Ed Jackson I figured it out CBC changed the title of the same article while I had both web pages open

Our PM has been found to have broken the law, Canadians have a right to learn the details and motivation regarding this. No more double talk and side stepping questions, accountability and transparency is required.

@Ellis Purdue True Dough has broken the law alright but not with regards to a helicopter ride on his vacation. This is the part of the article that concerns me. I suspect these two dudes had lots to talk about away from prying eyes.

"CBC News has previously reported that John Kerry, who was the U.S. secretary of state at the time, was also a guest on the Aga Khan's island during Trudeau's vacation."

FYI John Kerry is a friend of many people I was suing in Boston beginning in 2002 and his people laughed at me while he was running to be president but quit laughing after I got out the Beantown Jail where I was held under the charges of "Other" with no bail after running in the election of the 38th Parliament. Trust that I am far more concerned about the crimes that Trudeau "The Younger"and his cohorts have been covering up for the benefit of their Yankee pals.

Trudeau had set strict rules when be became PM but has broken everyone of them, ethics is a laugh under his leadership, Canadians deserve better, Trudeau can do the next best thing, RESIGN

@bill chagwich Ethics is a joke in Parliament and in public service in general.

The only PM to ever be found guilty of violating ethics ruled hasn't even done one single thing for Canadians. Yet he had time to violate multiple ethics rules. Go figure.

@Ben Smith Who cares when the Ethics Commissioners do not understand the meaning of the word?

Last year I got several answers in writing from Mary Dawson's people. They refused to investigate any of the emails I sent their lawyer/boss since Harper appointed her. More importantly they denied receiving the Hard Copy of many documents I sent Howard Wilson in 2004 and and Bernard Shapiro in 2006 long before he quit even after I sent them the proof

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ethics-commissioner-shapiro-resigns-1.653619

"Bernard Shapiro is resigning as federal ethics commissioner, his spokesman said Thursday.His reasons for leaving were not provided."

Trust that I knew the reasons and so does Mario Dion the former Commissioner of Public Sector Integrity. He and hi his people answered me in writing as well.

>> Judicial council won't pursue inquiry into conflict of interest
>> allegation against Vic Toews
>> 'No further action is required,' Canadian Judicial Council says after
>> review
>> By Sean Kavanagh, CBC News Posted: Nov 30, 2017 11:16 AM CT
>>
>>
>> The Canadian Judicial Council has completed its review of the conduct
>> of Manitoba Court of Queen's Bench Justice Vic Toews and says it won't
>> be investigating complaints against him further.
>>
>> The council said Thursday that two complaints were reviewed by Justice
>> Christopher Hinkson, chief justice of the Supreme Court of British
>> Columbia, who found nothing that would warrant Toews' removal.
>>
>> "Chief Justice Hinkson notes that the [federal ethics] commissioner
>> did not make any findings that put into question the integrity, good
>> faith or credibility of Justice Toews," the council said in a media
>> release.
>>
>> "Upon a full review of all the relevant information, Chief Justice
>> Hinkson found an absence of any information that would suggest an
>> attempt to mislead or reveal conduct incompatible with the duties of
>> judicial office."
>>
>> The review was launched following a complaint received in relation to
>> a report by the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner.
>>
>> In April, ?Canada's ethics commissioner found the former Conservative
>> cabinet minister breached conflict of interest rules by doing
>> consulting work for two Manitoba First Nations after he left office.
>>
>> Mary Dawson's report last spring said Toews advised a First Nations
>> group he had once fought in court when he was Treasury Board president
>> in the former federal Conservative government.
>>
>> Dawson's report said Toews "acted for or on behalf of a party that was
>> seeking relief against a decision in which he had been involved as a
>> minister of the Crown."
>>
>> The report said Toews also broke the rules requiring a two-year
>> cooling off period for providing consultancy services to the Norway
>> House Cree Nation through a company owned by his wife.?
>>
>>    Former cabinet minister-turned-Manitoba judge broke conflict of
>> interest rules, commissioner finds
>>    Vic Toews met with Peguis lawyer about Kapyong settlement: Court
>> documents
>>
>> Toews challenged the decision of the commissioner in court, but
>> dropped the case recently.
>>
>>    Former cabinet minister Vic Toews challenges conflict ruling in
>> Federal Court
>>    Manitoba Judge Vic Toews drops court challenge of ethics commissioner
>> ruling
>>
>> National advocacy organization Democracy Watch filed a complaint
>> against Toews with the Canadian Judicial Council after his alleged
>> conflict interest was raised.
>>
>> "The actions that were under scrutiny by the commissioner were not
>> ones that raised issues for the Canadian Judicial Council," Norman
>> Sabourin of the CJC said Thursday. "I am of the view that there was a
>> thorough review because it's an issue that was in the public domain
>> and it deserved a thorough review, which is what the council did."
>>
>> Toews' lawyer said Thursday he is happy the matter is finished.
>>
>> "I thought the [ethics] commissioner's process was badly, badly flawed
>> and unfair, and so I'm happy that everything's over," Robert Tapper

Trudeau noncommittal on Conservatives' ethics committee request

'Keeping politics and partisan attacks to the side on this is what Canadians expect,' says Trudeau

This is no longer innuendo or politically motivated accusations, it has now been proven that our PM violated multiple ethics laws. How can he now refuse to explain himself in front of the ethics committee and still expect to have any credibility?

Mary Dawson is back. To the detriment of Canadians who expect a

@Richard Jerfferson The way politicians use the words "Honourable" "Ethics" and "Integrity" is a monumental joke to me. In my humble opinion they have no understanding of such words whatsoever. Even though I am more than offended I still get to laugh alot at the nonsense provided to us in the ongoing parliamentary circus.

Methinks some folks may enjoy what I posted about the long delayed whining and crying of the provincial Conservative before this article was published N'esy Pas?

@Michael Nowak Mary Dawson QC is a well connected government lawyer. Trust that she made certain her pension was secure long before Harper appointed her to cover for him and the Boyz in Blue. She had a salary over 300 grand equal to that of a judge of the Federal Court which is about the same take as the unethical Prime Ministers.

@jimmysinclair Methinks the Lady made a Merry Xmass for Harper and and the Boyz in Blue a few times too N'esy Pas?

Perhaps CBC will allow me to quote Mikey Harris

"In 2014, when Harper cabinet minister Jason Kenney failed to report stock purchases made in his name. Kenney paid the princely sum of $100 for breaking the disclosure rules.

Dawson found that another Harper cabinet minister, Peter MacKay, was in “serious breach” of the conflict of interest guidelines on two occasions. Against the rules, MacKay held directorships in his father’s companies. MacKay’s knees must have wobbled when he got his comeuppance: a $200 fine.

And remember Commissioner Dawson’s earth-shattering finding against Nigel Wright arising out of the Duffy/Wright Affair? Remember, Dawson helped Nigel build his “ethical wall” — which also turned out to have room for a ladder.

Four years after her investigation began, and a full year after Senator Duffy was acquitted of all criminal charges in court, Dawson found Stephen Harper’s former chief-of-staff guilty of two breaches of the ethics rules — first for asking the CPC to repay Duffy’s alleged improper expenses, and then for writing the cheque himself.

Strangely, Dawson argued that Wright acted to further Duffy’s “private interests” — the precise opposite of the conclusion reached by the judge at the Duffy trial. Justice Charles Vaillancourt found that Wright was not motivated by helping Duffy at all, but by a “crass political” agenda to protect the image of the CPC and the PM of the day.

Wright’s penalty in the wake of Dawson’s findings? Absolutely nothing. The sections of the Act he violated carry no sanctions."

Trudeau's billionaire offshore tax-haven buddies and "campaign donors" (wink, wink, nudge, nudge), can heave a sigh of relief knowing that the CRA has no intention of chasing them down for at least another 2½ years.

Nice timing for this unethical PM, as this will save any embarrassment to Trudeau, as it will be long after the 2019 election...

Conveniently for the Liberals, "...it will be at least another 2½ years before it will have an idea of how much it might recoup...." and as such, well after the next election.

Canada's arrogant and contemptuous Revenue Minister Diane Lebouthillier should be forced to resign her position due to the CRA's "lackadaisical attitude of our revenue agency," as was said by Sen. Percy Downe, a member of the Senate Liberal caucus.

And this coming from one of Trudeau's own Liberal senators.

Ethics commissioner clears Morneau on sale of shares in 2015

Finance minister also cleared in Bank of Canada's renewal of Morneau Shepell contract

CBC News Posted: Jan 08, 2018 3:24 PM ET


Ethics and Conflict of Interest Commissioner Mary Dawson has cleared Finance Minister Bill Morneau in the sale of Morneau Shepell shares in 2015, and in the Bank of Canada's renewal of its contract with his family's company.

In one of her final moves as Canada's ethics and conflict of interest commissioner, Mary Dawson found that Bill Morneau and a family member didn't benefit from insider information when they sold shares in his family's pension company, Morneau Shepell, in the fall of 2015.

In a letter dated Jan. 5 and addressed to Morneau, Dawson said the income tax increase for Canadians earning more than $200,000 was publicly announced on Nov. 4 and Morneau sold his shares on Nov. 30. The legislation was tabled on Dec. 7.

"The act prohibits the use of insider information obtained in his or her position by a public office holder and that is not available to the public, which, in light of the above [reasons] was not the case in this instance," she said.

Dawson investigated the sale at NDP MP Nathan Cullen's request. Conservative finance critic Pierre Poilievre also wrote to her office. Poilievre had argued the timing of the share sale was no coincidence as the share price later took a dip, and he has sought to tie the depreciation to the tax hike.

The finance minister had also come under fire after news reports revealed the Bank of Canada had an $8 million contract with Morneau Shepell to manage pensions and benefits.

But Dawson also dismissed any notion that Morneau, who is the minister responsible for the Bank of Canada, influenced the bank's decision to renew the contract.

"I am satisfied that, as minister of finance, you had no involvement in the Bank of Canada's decision of the renewal of the Morneau Shepell Inc. contract," Dawson said in the letter.

"We have received the letter from the Ethics Commissioner and we are pleased with the outcome," said a spokesperson for Morneau.

"The minister has gone above and beyond the initial recommendations from the ethics commissioner by divesting all his family's holdings in his former company, donating upwards of $10 million to charity and setting up a blind trust."

Pension bill investigation still pending


Dawson's office hasn't released the results of another investigation regarding Morneau's role in introducing pension legislation, known as Bill C-27, while he still owned shares in his family's company.

Cullen and Poilievre also both wrote to Dawson asking her to look into whether Morneau benefited financially when Bill C-27 was introduced.

Monday Dawson told CBC News that the examination into that issue "remains active."

Cullen has argued that, because Morneau held about one million shares at the time, he could make millions if the bill passed.

Dawson's latest ruling comes after months of controversy for Morneau over his ownership of the company's shares and his use of private corporations to hold his assets — including one he failed to declare until September, which holds a villa in France.

Morneau paid a $200 fine for failing to declare that company when he was elected.

Dawson's last day as ethics commissioner is Monday. Mario Dion has been tapped to replace her.



$500M recouped worldwide from tax cheats due to Panama Papers — but none of it in Canada

CRA says audits 'take time' and it likely won't have anything to report until at least 2020

By Zach Dubinsky, CBC News Posted: Jan 09, 2018 5:00 AM ET

Countries around the world are using records in the Panama Papers leak to go after people who hid money in offshore havens and didn't pay tax on it. Some, like Spain, have been more successful so far than others — such as Canada.
Countries around the world are using records in the Panama Papers leak to go after people who hid money in offshore havens and didn't pay tax on it. Some, like Spain, have been more successful so far than others — such as Canada. (Radio-Canada) 

A dozen governments around the world say they've recovered a combined $500 million in unpaid taxes so far thanks to the Panama Papers leak of tax-haven financial records in 2016.

But not a penny of that is destined for Canadian government coffers. The Canada Revenue Agency maintains it will be at least another 2½ years before it will have an idea of how much it might recoup.

The stark contrast is fuelling criticism of the CRA's effectiveness at catching offshore tax cheats, and comes in the wake of a CBC investigation last month that found few, if any, of the criminal convictions the agency cites in defence of its record actually have anything to do with offshore tax evasion.


"It's a further indication of the lackadaisical attitude of our revenue agency," said Sen. Percy Downe, a member of the Senate Liberal caucus, who for years has lambasted the CRA's approach to ferreting out offshore tax cheats.

The Panama Papers leak was revealed in April 2016 by a global consortium of media outlets, including the CBC and Toronto Star in Canada, and a month later the CRA obtained all the records through official channels. Then, in early November 2017, the same consortium of journalists revealed the Paradise Papers leak, which included the names of four times more Canadians — though many of those may be linked to perfectly legal, declared accounts. The CRA has not said whether it has gotten its hands on any of that data.

Panama Papers a boon for Spain


The Panama Papers have proved a treasure trove for some countries, with Spain recovering the most unpaid tax so far. Its national revenue agency announced in November a $156-million windfall from taxpayers with hidden funds. Most of that — $128.4 million — came from voluntary disclosures, where the taxpayers came forward themselves following the leak to declare previously unreported income.

The Australian Tax Office said last month it has collected $49 million thus far as a result of the Panama Papers revelations. Australian tax officials snapped to action following the leak, executing 18 search warrants in just a one-week span in September 2016, at one point seizing 170 kilograms of silver bullion and coins.

Even Ecuador, which historically has had problems collecting tax from its citizens, says it has recouped $82.6 million.

The tax-recovery figures were compiled by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, the Washington-based organization that co-ordinated global reporting on the Panama Papers. The ICIJ was able to get data from 15 countries, among them Mexico ($27 million in unpaid tax recouped), Lithuania (a modest $377,000) and even the tax haven of Malta ($9.4 million).

'Files are complex'


The CRA, meanwhile, says it is still auditing 123 taxpayers tied to the Panama Papers, and it is far too soon to talk about how much money could be collected from them.

"These files are complex and will take time to complete," spokesperson Patrick Samson said in an email, explaining that, among other things, the CRA has to wait until taxpayers exhaust any appeals before it can collect from them, which can add years to the timeline.

"The CRA has reported on collections related to offshore projects in the past, some four to seven years after the projects ... started," the agency said. One such example is a 2008 leak of banking records from HSBC in Geneva that ultimately led to more than $60 million collected by the CRA and Revenue Quebec.

"The CRA will report on the Panama Papers project collections at a similar stage of the project."
That means the agency likely won't provide a number for how much — if any — unpaid tax it might recoup from the Panama Papers until at least spring 2020.

Another factor that is slowing down the tax-recovery process: The CRA isn't allowing anyone identified in the Panama Papers to make a voluntary disclosure, except under what it called "exceptional circumstances," so that they don't get the amnesty from penalties and criminal prosecution normally provided under the program. That means CRA auditors will have to grind through potentially thousands of pages of paperwork to trace hidden money, without the benefit of taxpayers volunteering the information.

'They give people a free pass'


But Sen. Downe said the CRA's inability to point to any money it's recovered so far from the Panama Papers, while more than a dozen other countries can, shows the agency doesn't take offshore tax evasion and avoidance seriously.

"Compare that to domestic tax evasion, where the revenue agency does a very good job if you're trying to hide your money in Canada and not pay taxes. But on overseas tax evasion, they give people a free pass," he said.

Sen. Percy Downe says 'there's a level of transparency totally lacking' in the CRA's handling of how it deals with offshore tax cheating. (CBC)

"It seems to me the government is at the point now where they should be concerned about the impact this is having on middle class Canadians ... Some of them are ready to get the pitchfork and torches out to bring some semblance of fairness back to our tax system."

The CRA also maintains it has launched "several criminal investigations" based on the Panama Papers involving "both participants and facilitators" in offshore tax schemes, and that it has executed an unspecified number of search warrants, as long ago as summer 2016, as part of its efforts.

CBC News repeatedly pressed for the details of those search warrants, which are public court documents, in order to verify the CRA's claims. But the agency, citing taxpayer privacy, refused to disclose anything about them — how many there are, what courts they're filed in, or what locations were searched.

"There's a level of transparency totally lacking," Downe said. "Government has an opportunity here to really show some strong leadership on fairness for the middle class … But they've buried their heads in the sand."

How 2 Canadians named in Panama Papers led nearly 200 companies they claim to know nothing about

Rules that permit figurehead directors make Canada ripe for tax-haven-type abuse, critics say

By Zach Dubinsky, Rachel Houlihan, Dave Seglins, CBC News Posted: Jan 26, 2017 5:00 AM ET

 A law clerk from Toronto and a paralegal in Montreal commanded a prolific corporate empire of nearly 200 companies over the past 25 years — while knowing nothing about the businesses or the multimillion-dollar deals bearing their names, they say.

Karen McIntyre of Toronto and Annette Laroche of the Montreal area both say they filed company tax returns without any idea if the numbers were accurate, signed blank forms granting power of attorney to people they had never met and put their names to corporate documents without knowing their purpose, all in the course of acting as professional fronts for a vast array of businesses.

It's a practice that allows the true owners of companies to obscure their identities and mask activity like fraud and tax scheming, a joint CBC/Radio-Canada and Toronto Star investigation based on the Panama Papers has found. And that has critics raising alarms about how Canada's corporate rules are quietly seeing the country exploited as a kind of offshore haven.

"If we really want to fight tax evasion and avoidance," said Marwah Rizqy, a tax law professor at the University of Sherbrooke in Quebec, "this kind of practice has to stop."

Mainstay of tax havens


Federally and provincially incorporated companies in Canada are allowed to have "nominee" directors — basically, stand-ins who serve as the company's officers on paper only. Meanwhile, the real controlling owners keep their names off the paperwork, shrouding themselves from the taxman and other authorities.

Such dummy directors are rampant in the shady milieu of tax havens. But the cases of McIntyre and Laroche show the phenomenon isn't restricted to sun-baked Caribbean islands or Pacific micronations.

Panama Papers shell company graphic
Panama Papers shell company graphic
(CBC)

Both women rented their signatures to nearly 200 companies involved in a variety of businesses, including luxury real estate and the diamond trade — almost all of them provincially incorporated in Quebec. A number of those companies show up in the Panama Papers, a huge trove of offshore financial records that were leaked in 2015 and continue to make headlines around the world.

Testifying in 2011 as part of a fraud lawsuit involving some of the firms her name had been attached to, McIntyre said she got her start while working as a clerk at a Toronto law firm in the early 1990s.

One day her boss hooked her up with a Swiss lawyer looking for someone to put their name to "holding companies for tax purposes or companies for trust purposes in Canada."

She said she earned $100 a year per company, for a total of about $20,000 in the most lucrative years, which would be wired to her from Switzerland around Christmas.

"It was just somebody paid you to use your signature, and nothing more?" she was asked under oath.
"That is correct," McIntyre replied.

Signed blank forms


McIntyre testified that once or twice a year, she would receive stacks of "sometimes 20, sometimes 50" forms for the various corporations she fronted. They were empty templates for board-of-director resolutions and powers of attorney. She would sign them blank and undated, then send them back to the lawyer in Switzerland or a firm he used in Montreal, she said.

Laroche worked as a phone operator for the same firm before becoming a paralegal there. After leaving that job, she replaced McIntyre as director of many of the corporations in 2007.

Laroche
Laroche testified in the same civil case that her role was 'just to be a name.' (Facebook)

Subpoenaed to testify in the same lawsuit, Laroche also acknowledged her role was "just to be a name." Asked how she could sign off on tax returns for companies without knowing their finances, she replied: "If I was instructed that this was correct information, I signed that it was correct."

"And how would you know whether or not they were participating in a fraud?" the lawyer asked.
"I don't know."

Fronts for fraudsters


The question wasn't academic: Both women were summoned to give testimony because the real owner behind some of the businesses was being sued by a bank. Spanish real estate developer Mauricio Cohen had borrowed $90 million in the early 1990s to develop a hotel in Manhattan, then squirrelled away much of that money through a global thicket of shell companies, including ones in Quebec.

'We're absolutely in favour of knowing who is registering companies, what their goals are and what taxes they should be paying.' - Finance Minister Bill Morneau

He and his son were convicted of tax evasion and fraud in the U.S. in 2011 and sentenced to 10 years in prison. But both McIntyre and Laroche said they'd never heard of the Cohens until the bank called on them to testify in its civil case.

"They're the little people who are being used in bigger schemes that they probably don't understand the full consequences of," said New York lawyer Doug Kellner, who cross-examined both McIntyre and Laroche in the Cohen lawsuit.

And those consequences could be grave. Yet another pair of companies where Laroche was the nominal president — and McIntyre before her — were sued in Quebec for war crimes for allegedly building illegal settlements in the West Bank.

Laroche was personally named as a defendant, before the case was thrown out on jurisdictional grounds. A Quebec judge hearing the lawsuit said: "She cannot claim to be a mere front. If she chooses to be an officer and director of these corporations, she becomes bound by the duties arising from her status."

'Key element' in malfeasance


In recent years, McIntyre has managed a pub and run a motorcycle repair shop with her husband in Toronto's east end. Reached by phone last year, she confirmed she had been a nominee director for many companies, but she has declined to comment further.

Laroche said in a brief interview last month that she believes nominee directors are a "valid tool" for people who want confidentiality for their business affairs, and that she has never done anything wrong in acting as one.

"Companies are incorporated every day. Some companies do things right. Some companies do things that may be reprehensible, or become so. You can't judge in advance," Laroche said. "When you offer a service, you can't necessarily know."

Richard Leblanc
Richard Leblanc, a professor of corporate governance and ethics at York University in Toronto, says 'Canada will rapidly develop a reputation, if it hasn't already acquired one, as being a tax haven.' (CBC)

But critics say allowing nominee directors in Canada permits a perilous cloak of secrecy around what companies are really up to, potentially blocking investigators from unearthing corruption, money laundering, tax evasion and other crimes.

"It's completely opaque and it's like a Third World country," said Richard Leblanc, a professor of corporate governance and ethics at York University in Toronto. "Canada will rapidly develop a reputation, if it hasn't already acquired one, as being a tax haven."


Much of the skulduggery exposed in the Panama Papers was enabled by the anonymity that using dummy directors affords. Following those revelations, global transparency organizations have urged every country to collect and publish information on the actual owners of every company registered in its jurisdiction.

Canadian Finance Minister Bill Morneau told the Toronto Star last month he's already broached the idea with his provincial counterparts and wants federal and provincial corporate registries to reflect "the highest standards of transparency and accountability." But he also said a balance has to be struck with privacy concerns.

"We're absolutely in favour of knowing who is registering companies, what their goals are and what taxes they should be paying," Morneau said. "I personally am committed to making progress on ensuring that we are not providing any haven for any inappropriate activities."

Ex-PM Chrétien lobbied for African oil company he didn't know was based in tax haven, he says

Chrétien also denies getting 100,000 stock options Paradise Papers show were recorded in his name

Former Canadian prime minister Jean Chrétien lobbied for an East African oil venture whose business involved money flowing to tax havens, a notorious Australian fraudster and the lure of billions of barrels of crude, according to the latest major leak of offshore financial documents.

But in a twist befitting the often murky world of tax havens, Chrétien says he thought the company was based in Houston and never knew it was actually incorporated in Bermuda.

He also vehemently denies receiving 100,000 stock options mysteriously recorded on the company's books in his name.

Chrétien is among the most prominent Canadian names in the Paradise Papers leak made public Sunday, a vast trove of records obtained by a German newspaper and shared with media partners via the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ).

That's because in 2007, he did work for a company called Madagascar Oil, which hoped to pump ultra-heavy crude from some of the island country's remote but potentially massive oil fields.

The company had hit a snag and needed to smooth things over with the Madagascar government, so it brought in the former Canadian PM — with his Rolodex of world leaders — through Heenan Blaikie, the law firm he worked for at the time.

Chrétien was asked to facilitate a meeting between the company's CEO and the president of Madagascar, and he came through at a summit of African leaders.

"There was a meeting of African heads of state … and it was a chance to meet with the president," Chrétien said in a phone interview with CBC News last month, referring to Madagascar's then-leader, Marc Ravalomanana.

"It wasn't a long meeting. We sat down, and [Madagascar Oil's CEO] talked about what he wanted to talk about."

'Not here to scrutinize'


Chrétien said he understood the company was from Texas, with a chief executive who had worked in the Canadian oil sector.

Madagascar Oil's headquarters was indeed in Houston and its CEO had been president of Chevron Canada. But the Paradise Papers extensively document how the company itself was incorporated in Bermuda — a tiny territory of 60,000 people that boasts no corporate tax and is considered a tax haven. Madagascar Oil had no employees there, just a mailing address at offshore law firm Appleby, where the company's administrative paperwork was signed and stamped.

There is no suggestion any of Madagascar Oil's offshore activity was illegal, but offshore incorporations and accounts often allow businesses to game the tax system — adhering to the letter of the law while thwarting its spirit.

Asked his views on companies' use of offshore schemes, Chrétien said that he believed "it's not the right thing to do" and that he had fought tax havens while in office. He said he had no idea Madagascar Oil was registered in Bermuda.

"I never heard that mentioned. Listen, when someone comes to see you, you don't do an analysis of their corporate structure. They come to see you to ask for your professional opinion," Chrétien said.
"Every company has subsidiaries all over the place. ... We're not here to scrutinize that," he continued.

"They asked me to help, they had retained our law firm, and I did my job. I did what I was paid to do."
But Brigitte Alepin, a Montreal-based tax expert and global authority on tax havens, said that public figures — even after they have retired — "need to avoid rubbing up against" anything involved with tax havens, which risk tarnishing their image.


"Public figures, especially current or former prime ministers, MPs, even famous artists, have to be vigilant about not going anywhere near tax havens. Everyone in the public limelight has to do their due diligence," Alepin said.

"Mr. Chrétien ... was involved in all these questions to do with tax havens while he was running the country, so he has the ability to do a smell test and to ask the right questions."

Mystery stock options


Madagascar Oil was founded in 2004 by Sam Malin, a Canadian-raised businessman who believed Alberta oilsands expertise could help with the thorny problem of extracting Madagascar's ultra-heavy deposits of crude. Malin left the company a decade ago.

The company's other early backers and operatives, the Paradise Papers confirm, included Alan Bond, an Australian tycoon in the 1970s and '80s who came crashing down in a spectacular bankruptcy in the '90s and spent four years in prison for the country's then-biggest fraud.

The lone leaked document in the Paradise Papers actually mentioning Chrétien is a register of Madagascar Oil stock options granted through September 2007. It lists "Joseph Jacques Jean Chrétien" — his full name — as the recipient of 100,000 options issued on July 17, 2007, well before the company's shares ever traded on any stock market.


Chrétien is adamant he never received them. In fact, he said a CBC reporter was the first person to even tell him about it.

"I have zero records of it. I looked, and I've got nothing," he said. "They never told me I had any options. There's nothing stopping someone from saying, 'Mr. Chrétien has options to buy some of our shares.'"

Madagascar Oil did retain Chrétien's firm Heenan Blaikie and paid it $179,000 US over two years for "consulting," according to a separate, public filing the company made in 2010. Chrétien said that part seems accurate.

In a further statement issued after his name emerged over the weekend in the Paradise Papers, Chrétien said: "Any news report that suggests I have or ever had or was associated in any way with any offshore account is false. While as a lawyer for Heenan Blaikie, I did some work for Madagascar Oil as a client of the law firm. All fees were billed by the law firm and went to the law firm. I never received any share options and I never had a bank account outside Canada."

Madagascar Oil did not reply to questions about why it put Chrétien's name on the list of its stock-option holders or about any other aspect of its business.

"Maybe they thought," Chrétien speculated last month, "that since I was working for Heenan Blaikie, having my name added to it would give it an air of prestige."
