Sagging profits, hidden financial info loom over NB Power's rate hearing

The utility warns of another earnings shortfall for the fiscal year

Robert Jones · CBC · Posted: Apr 11, 2018 5:00 AM AT

The EUB hearings will now attempt to dissect a series of poor fiscal results from NB Power. (CBC)

NB Power's ongoing rate hearing resumes Wednesday and will switch gears as the Energy and Utilities Board attempts to navigate fiscal mysteries and poor results that have suddenly engulfed the proceeding.

In addition to unprecedented secrecy surrounding the utility's basic financial condition caused by a secret lawsuit settlement before the board, the hearing will also be coping with fresh revelations NB Power has missed profit targets by a wide margin for the third year in a row.

NB Power's bid to hide financial details met with opposition from EUB

NB Power cuts proposed rate hike to 1.5% after Point Lepreau settlement

Despite not knowing proposed rate increase, EUB pushes on with hearing

"It is apparent that the financial results for 2017/18 will not be as favourable as anticipated," the utility revealed last week in new and heavily censored evidence filed with the EUB.

Most of the new material relates to the effects of a lawsuit settlement NB Power reached with insurance companies over cost overruns suffered during the refurbishment of the Point Lepreau nuclear generating station.

The utility won permission to keep the settlement amount secret and that has had a cascading effect of forcing other key financial information — like NB Power's future profitability and debt levels — to be disguised as well.

'We are too optimistic'

But not everything is under wraps as the new evidence package also contains a brief note warning of yet another earnings shortfall of a "material nature" in the fiscal year just ended.

That will be unwelcome news among hearing participants who were already grilling utility executives on why millions of dollars in internal cost savings promised over the last three years have not materialized as predicted

"It's been indicated by some that maybe we are too optimistic," Diane Fraser, NB Power's director of financial planning, told the hearing last month about failures to find and eliminate inefficiencies the utility itself acknowledges are a problem.

NB Power has been learning as we go.- Diane Fraser, NB Power's director of financial planning

Several years ago, NB Power launched a plan of "continuous improvement" that promised to uncover and eliminate millions of dollars in inefficient internal costs.

It qualified a squadron of employees as so called "Lean Six Sigma Black Belt" practitioners — a management system designed to optimize efficiency — and dispatched them internally to find waste where they could and devise ways to eliminate it.

Black belts fall short

Last year, the utility acknowledged the black belts were coming up short identifying and fixing the number of efficiency problems expected and it reduced probable savings from the initiative over a nine-year period by $211 million.

This year it reduced the figure even further.

"NB Power has been learning as we go," explained Fraser.

"We are still anticipating continuous improvement savings in the future. The timing was optimistic on NB Power's behalf."

EUB Board vice chairman Francois Beaulieu, seated with board member Patrick Ervin has said the hearing will continue and concentrate on issues not directly connected to power rates. (Shane Fowler/CBC)

But the failure to find and implement internal savings quickly has helped cause some of NB Power's problem meeting profit targets, which according to the new evidence has worsened.

Last year the EUB approved a budget for NB Power for the fiscal year just finished that included expected profits of $90.6 million.

During most of the current hearing, the utility was estimating it would fall about $23 million short of that target, but last week's new evidence showed the shortfall will be more than $70 million.

The utility previously missed profit targets by $60.4 million the year before last and by $74.4 million the year before that.

Good Day Sir

I just called and you did not pick up so I left a message with your assistant.

Your name came up during the hearing I attended on April 3rd, 2018
Clearly I have studied you a bit. Now its your turn to check me out. I
believe I am being fair. Trust that there is much more for you to know
before you create a report on KPMG's work.

Please view attachments and ask me anything you wish.

I sent you and many others an email this weekend that was acknowledged
by the board this morning and I published it within my blog.

I bet NB Power and many lawyers such as Michael Dixon are cursing me
about now N'esy Pas?

Now I will try to talk to you before publishing this email. Quite
frankly I want to see how you respond to me on a personal level before
Mr Furey and the other lawyers advise you to ignore my concerns. Some
of which you will find below.

Re: Public Corruption

Sirs,

Pursuant to my many phone calls and email to your offices please find
enclosed the material I promised to you before I file my complaints in
Federal Court in Fredericton. The CD which is a true copy of wiretap
tape number 139 is served upon you all in confidence as officers of
the court in order that it may be investigated byway of my suing the
Crown.

While Norm Betts and Derek Burney’s buddy Stevey Boy Harper is busy in
New Brunswick today trying hard to shore up the shaky government of
Jody Carr’s buddy, Bernie Lord with long delayed federal tax dollars.
I am polishing off my promises to crooked lawyers in the hope that the
very corrupt House crumbles ASAP. If not maybe President Chavez will
help me bankrupt the crooks working within NB Power within a crooked
government’s blessing. Methinks Tanker will need another lawyer if the
one he has now continues to play dumb. Lord paid Allaby a lot of money
to study the doings of the Justice Dept a long time ago. He should
understand the scene.

Shame on you all for forcing me to go to such lengths to protect my
rights under the Charter. Methinks you have underestimated my
diligence EH? Now ask yourselves why I don’t sue you after I sue the
Crown? I fail to see any reason not to. That is the only way I know of
to hold such people as you accountable. Stevey Boy Harper never will
even though he talks the talk of such things. Everybody knows what I
served upon his party’s lawyer Arthur Hamilton before I was falsely
imprisoned in the USA in 2004.

Despite whatever Act our latest Prime Minister wishes to introduce to
the Canadian people that he claims will compel our government to act
with integrity, he can never deny my right to drag anyone into court.
In fact he has done so himself in the past and I am no less of a man
than he. Even a simple pigheaded Maritimer has the right to argue the
law even with people who think themselves above it. How you all have
failed to uphold the law and the public trust placed in your public
office is either a matter of public record or soon shall be or my name
ain’t Dave. There is no Democracy without Truth and Justice. It is
just that simple.

Thats all for now fellas. I look forward to seeing you all in court
someday or I will die trying to make it happen in an ethical fashion.
It is just another one of those things I do that lawyers fail to
appreciate. Ask your friends why that is if you don’t already know.

Hey Mr. Costello
Need I say I was not impressed by you yesterday. At least you
confessed that you knew who I was but so much for a jealous defense of
your client’s interests. EH? That said there is no need to send you
hard copy of my material. Your associates within McInnes Cooper
already have enough to review and confer with you about.
Perhaps you should call the dudes or ladies (: Tell them how I chuck
rocks will ya? from Patterson Palmer in Halifax that merged with your
firm or better yet Lenny Hoyt and Franky Boy McKenna. In my humble
opinion your little buddy Franky Boy as Canadian Ambassador should
have tried to stop NB Power’s malicious lawsuit against Venezeula in
the USA before it picked up steam. But what do I know. EH? I think the
dudes from Venezeula were wise to bring the issues back to the
Maritimes and into the Irvings’ lap. I think it was a hoot that they
employed your firm to do so. What say you?

Whereas you do not wish to speak to me I will speak to these dudes

to you and ask them what the Hell I am up to if you don’t already
know.

P.S. the following was an interesting article to come out in the local

the last election. It certainly seems to me that the Irving’s and
Bernie Lord were trying hard to help Stevey Boy Harper’s government
and John Wallace get elected in order to protect their own selfish
interests. EH? If he won’t tell ya then ask me why Franky Boy does not
want to be the liberal leader right now. I Double Dog Dare Ya. As I
said in closing yesterday you have my number but maybe the dudes from
Venezeula lost it so here it is again 506 434 1379. Your problem is do
I want to talk to you now. Whilst I am talking to your clients about
your incompetance I will explain to them why I am preparing to sue

Liberal leader ‘jeopardizing’ NB Power’s chances in lawsuit over
failed Orimulsion deal: Tory MLA

New Brunswickers should question whether Liberal Leader Shawn Graham
is fighting for them or for Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, says a
Tory MLA. Jody Carr, MLA for Oromocto-Gagetown, made the stinging
indictment against Mr.Graham Thursday during a heated committee
hearing where the Liberal leader took repeated swipes at David Hay, NB
Power’s president and chief executive officer, for failing to answer
legal questions regarding the utility’s Orimulsion lawsuit.

Mr. Graham questioned some of the tactics being advanced by NB
Power’s legal staff and demanded to know how much the power
corporation budgeted for the legal battle against the Venezuelan
government and its state-owned oil company.

Mr. Carr said the Liberal leader crossed the line in Thursday’s
committee hearing and could endanger NB Power’s lawsuit. “The issue is
complicated and it shows the issue is far over his head to what he can
comprehend,” Mr. Carr said in an interview later."He was in effect
working on the side of the Venezuelan government by jeopardizing the
court proceedings."He was jeopardizing the chances of government and
NB Power recouping the $2.2 billion in savings and therefore, in
essence, that put him on the other side.”

NB Power restarted its lawsuit on Sept. 1, when it filed a statement
of claim looking for $2.2 billion in financial damages, which equates
to the price difference between purchasing heavy fuel oil to burn at
the Coleson Cove Generation Station and Orimulsion, a cheap
water-and-bitumen mixture patented by Petroleos de Venezuela, S.A.
(PDVSA).

NB Power has hired Stewart McKelvey Stirling Scales to quarterback the
lawsuits filed in Fredericton and New York along with Simpson Thacher
& Bartlett LLP to serve as their U.S. counsel. Mr. Hay estimated that
the corporation has already spent as much as $600,000 on legal bills
relating to the Orimulsion lawsuit.

The Liberal leader grew increasingly frustrated when Mr. Hay
stonewalled his attempt to get a firm answer on NB Power’s budget for
Orimulsion-related legal fees. “For the life of me I can’t understand
how it could jeopardize the court proceedings in saying how much we
are thinking this court challenge may cost,”

Mr. Graham said.Throughout the committee session, Mr. Hay assured the
Liberal leader that the power corporation was evaluating the
risk-reward ratio at each legal “fork in the road.”

Mr. Hay said he cannot disclose any details that could tip the
utility’s legal hand considering the Venezuelans are keeping a close
eye on the proceedings."We are dealing with people with extremely deep
pockets. And if you go to a poker game “... and you say, I have my
$1,000 here or whatever it is you are playing with, that gives an
advantage to the other side,” Mr. Hay said.

Mr. Carr also accused Mr. Graham of misleading Saint John residents
about the Orimulsion costs during the recent byelection campaign in
Saint John Harbour. Mr. Carr said he found it disconcerting that
Liberal campaign signs said the Conservative government lost $2.2
billion through the bungled Orimulsion fuel deal but now Mr. Graham
admits the money was a “potential loss of savings.”

Obviously I must ask beore you created your report did you ever see
all the documents that accompanied this cover letter to NB Power's
Chairman of the Board in 2006? FYI the NB Power lawyers filed as
Appendix "G" in the 375 Matter as well

www.nbeub.ca/opt/M/get_document.php?doc=176623&no=21329

What you may not know is that I asked your firm if they would audit my
records as per Elections Canada's rules as I ran in the Election of
the 42nd Parliament. Your firm refused me as is your right to do.
However I was truly amazed that nobdy would even some fancy people in
Toronto so I made a complaint to the the Glogal Oversight of the
accounting business and got a respnse. Months later obviously I found
an auditor who was not afraid of Mr Harper and his cohorts and managed
to run for Parliament again. Even though CBC ignored its
"Non-Partisan" mandate and denied that simple fact for the fifth time
Roger TV did not.

MR. FUREY: I think only subject to Ms. Desmond confirming the
ability of Mr. Logan to provide a report in advance of the 30th. And
in that case we have no problem with that coming as late as the 27th.
And the availability of Mr. Wolfe from Synapse during the time period.
But other than those two items, I think that -- that is the agreement,
Mr. Vice-Chair.
VICE-CHAIRMAN: Plus we will be reviewing the exhibits next week
once we start.
MR. FUREY: Yes.
VICE-CHAIRMAN: Okay. So I think we will adjourn for today and we
will reconvene next week at 9:00 o'clock in Saint John. Okay. So we

VICE-CHAIRMAN: Thank you, Ms. Black, for your submissions. And Dr.
Richard, je crois que vous avez indiqué lorsqu'on a commencé les -- la
procédure ce matin que vous avez pas de commentaires à faire? J'peux
comprendre que vous n'avez à faire certains commentaires.
MR. RICHARD: Oui, oui. Si vous me le permettez.
VICE-CHAIRMAN: C'est une -- juste pour vous informer, juste
peut-être pour le dossier, ordinairement c'est -- on -- on laisse aux
parties qu'on faites objections à faire des soumissions, mais je vous
indiquais ce matin que -- qu'on la Commission vous accorderai ce
privilège-là, donc on va entendre votre -- votre soumission
relativement à la demande des traitement confidentiel même-si vous
avez pas soumis votre -- votre objection dans le -- dans la procédure.
Donc vous êtes permis de faire vos commentaires si vous voulez.
DR. RICHARD: J'ai le droit d'aller vous dites?
VICE-CHAIRMAN: Definitivement, oui.
DR. RICHARD: Oh, okay. Thank you, for letting me -- if I
understand well, NB Power wants to eliminate the rate increase. It
would be important to know the amount of the new funds that we have,
because it would assure if the loans that NB Power had are reduced in
-- as the same amount if the Board decide to use that money to lower
the loans. I would like to -- as you know, I am worried about the
smart meters and it's not in this part. I would like to -- I wonder
instead of just adjourn the rate increase, I wonder if we could not
just adjourn the Matter 375 in its entirety and return to 357, because
the smart meter we don't have a mandate yet to bill the -- les
variances dans le temps-la. A mon humble avis, Monsieur le
vice-président, l'intérêt public sera servi seulement si ces fonds
sont utilisés pour rembourser les prêts et non pour fixer les tarifs.
I understand it would be very convenient for our Prime Minister to be
able to say that rate -- there is no rate increase this year, an
election year, but is it in the interest of the public or is it in the
interest of the Liberal Party?
I know that if I would have run my business the same way as I read in
the transcript of the 29th, I would be a long time ago flatline. We
-- NB Power is very important for us. We should not lose it. Thank
you, Mr. Vice-President.
VICE-CHAIRMAN: Merci, Dr. Richard, pour votre soumission. Ms. Desmond?
MS. DESMOND: Thank you very much, Mr. Vice-Chair. Our view and
perspective as Board Staff is slightly different than perhaps the
views of the interveners that are here in this proceeding. We are
certainly not advocating a position but we want to offer comments with
respect to what, in our view, might be fair and efficient and would
provide transparency for the administrative tribunal.
I do want to start by just pointing out in appendix A, which I think
Mr. Stewart did as well in the affidavit of Darren Murphy, that there
is a recognition at least that NB Power may disclose when they are
required by law or by the rules or policies of any regulatory
authority. So to the extent that that appendix A recognizes that this
may in fact be an issue for determination before the Board, I think we
need to be mindful of that.
Similarly, with respect to the claim for confidentiality that was
filed by NB Power, it again recognizes that the material is to be
filed in confidence subject to NB Power's legal obligation to make
disclosures under legislation. So again recognizing that the Act and
the provisions of the legislation must be given some consideration.
And of course part of Section 34 as we have seen refers to the
balancing of what might be in the public interest and the need to
protect confidentiality.
I think Board Staff sees this issue in two parts, and perhaps I think
our view is different here than the interveners.
At this stage, NB Power is proposing to provide only the amount of
settlement in confidence. So the amount in our view is just really
one piece of information that would need to be considered by the
Board. Other questions would come to mind that would need to be
resolved in addition to what is the amount of the settlement. So for
example how quickly will the settlement be paid? Are there offsetting
credits? Is the figure a net figure? Are legal fees to be paid from
the settlement?
Earlier this morning, Mr. Furey talked about other outstanding
actions and an ongoing piece of litigation with AECL. The question
then might arise, is this settlement a partial liability that is
subject to the claim that's outstanding by AECL? Should the funds
even be allocated at this time? Is it premature, recognizing there is
other ongoing litigation? And is there a potential liability still
outstanding, and to that extent is there a contingent liability that
has to be recognized? These are all questions I think that would need
to be considered in addition to just strictly what is the number that
will be presented to the Board.
And it would be our view as Board Staff that this information in
addition to the numbers should be available for review.
So to that end, we would submit or suggest that both the minutes of
settlement and the release should as a minimum be filed with the
Board. And then as a second stage, once that information is available
and we know what -- as Board Staff and as the Board what that
information contains, there would be an opportunity for Board Staff to
look at those minutes of settlement and perhaps submit that portions
of that information should then be placed on the public record. And
that would be how we have handled confidentiality claims in the past.
Where there has been a claim for confidentiality, documents are filed.
I know in the past, we have looked at that claim and have suggested
portions of the material could be placed back on the public record.
And there has been discussions about that and ultimately resolution
reached as to what portions of the information should be made
available.
We have heard lots of arguments this morning and this afternoon about
settlement privilege, and so I won't make any more comments about
that.
I do want to comment that if the Board determines that the
information should be made available, the minutes of settlement and
the release should be filed, and then determines either that it should
be only available to the Board or even if it's to be available to
interveners, the Board may want to consider handling the settlement
issue similar to how the Board dealt with the PDVSA matter. And I did
have the opportunity to be involved at that time, so I can offer a few
comments about how that, to my recollection, was resolved.
At that time, the Board as I remember the situation, directed an
independent accountant who at the time was Andrew Logan from Teed
Saunders Doyle. And Mr. Logan reviewed the confidential materials and
how the funds were to be applied in the test year and then going
forward. So there was a review by that independent third party to
determine for example would the funds be applied to the revenue -- to
the deferral account or to the capital that was -- or the work that
was capitalized? That would be reviewed by the independent third
party.
And then in the PDVSA file Mr. Logan prepared a report as to what he
reviewed, so as to the methodology that he reviewed, and his findings
-- I don't know if other people are getting a --
VICE-CHAIRMAN: We are. I'm just wondering if the feedback is in
the system here or if it's outside. It's outside. So hopefully it's
not a fire alarm.
MS. DESMOND: No. Here we go.
VICE-CHAIRMAN: Okay. Thank you.
MS. DESMOND: So as I was saying, Mr. Logan did a review of the
methodology and how funds were applied and then provided a report.
The report was placed on the public record and interveners had the
opportunity to cross examine Mr. Logan on his documentation. So that
did provide for the Board and for interveners an opportunity to have
some assurance that the information had been tested and reviewed. And
they could take some level of comfort from having that independent
third party sort of do that review of the confidential information.
So whether -- to the extent the Board decides whether the information
should be kept confidential or released in a limited fashion, there
may be some value in having Mr. Logan prepare that documentation and
have that independent review of the material, so there is some
assurance as to how the methodology is being used and how the proceeds
will be applied.
So I think those are all of our comments, Mr. Vice-Chair. Thank you.
VICE-CHAIRMAN: Just one question, Ms. Desmond, and it's -- you were
saying that you were involved with the PDVSA matter.
In that specific matter how were the documents filed? Can you
provide some comments to the Board?
MS. DESMOND: Just -- it seems to me the information was filed
confidentially, and at that time Mr. Logan had the opportunity to
attend in the offices of NB Power and look at some of the supporting
documentation to then provide a report that was placed on the public
record.
Mr. Logan made himself available for cross examination as to what he
looked at, what kind of auditing he might have done and as to his
recommendations. But I'm going by memory there. I'm not 100 percent
sure whether or not NB Power filed sort of a high level package with
the Board or whether or not only Mr. Logan saw the materials at that
time. I can't recall 100 percent.
VICE-CHAIRMAN: Thank you. Mr. Furey?
MR. FUREY: Thank you, Mr. Vice-Chair. I'm certainly not going to
repeat my argument from this morning but I do have a couple of
comments.
The first is just a clarification with respect to Mr. Stewart's
comment as to what constitutes the Board for purposes of this
disclosure. I just want to clarify that NB Power sees the Board as
including Board Staff and any independent expert that the Board should
direct be retained.
The only substantive area that I'm going to respond to is with
respect to the issue raised of waiver of privilege. And as I
understand the argument presented by both Mr. Stewart and Ms. Black,
merely by agreeing that there is the potential for disclosure as
required by law, that amounts to a waiver. Now I'm not going to go
into any case law on waiver but the typical waiver either requires
express wording or conduct on the part of the waiving party that
effectively amounts to a waiver. And I would suggest that is not the
case here, in particular where settlement privilege is -- and this is
common ground that settlement privilege is subject to exceptions that
as I said this morning involve a weighing of public -- competing
public interests with the public interest in settlement. It's clear
that a party invoking settlement privilege would understand that this
Board may find an exception.
So recognizing that there is the potential for disclosure required by
law where the privilege could be found -- there could be an exception
found of the privilege cannot be a waiver. It is a recognition that
required by law recognizes that this Board will apply settlement
privilege as it sees appropriate in balancing the public interest that
we have all talked about here today.
So it's one thing to suggest, well there might be a valid case for an
exception or that the public interest should be weighed in a
particular way, but this is not a waiver. And I would point out that
the case relied on by Ms. Black at paragraph 78 has a specific -- this
is the clause that was in question. Disclosure is -- it says, shall
not disclose to any third party except where disclosure is required by
law including -- and there are a number of parts to it -- and the
second part is, to a person charged with an offence in Canada relating
to the anti-competitive conduct. So there was a very specific
requirement to give the information in precisely the case that arose.
That's not the case here. So that case in my submission has no
application whatsoever.
With respect to the suggestion of Ms. Desmond or her description of
how Mr. Logan was previously retained in the PDVSA matter, I do want
to re-emphasize that NB Power does see that as a reasonable approach,
particularly because it enhances the potential that there could be a
more public component to the hearing around this. So to the extent
that Mr. Logan's evidence does not reference the specific confidential
material but gives comfort or doesn't give comfort as to whether the
appropriate treatment was suggested by NB Power, and parties were able
to cross examine Mr. Logan without reference to confidential material,
we think that approach might actually enhance the openness of the
subsequent process.
And finally more of a procedural matter. I'm not sure of the Board's
intention in terms of the timing of a decision in this matter, but I
feel obligated to advise the Board that we are experiencing some
difficulty potentially with filing additional evidence tomorrow. And
I'm not saying that that's an absolute we can't, we are just
struggling to meet a deadline of tomorrow that we thought we would
make. And so that matters if the Board thought it was going to give a
decision today, but I think we also need to know what the decision is
before we can finalize that evidence. So it may be that there is not
as much difficulty with that situation.
We are sensitive though to the timing that parties would need in
order to be prepared for a procedural conference. So we acknowledge
to the extent that we are not able to meet a filing date of tomorrow
that that could push a procedural conference off the 6th and in to one
of the days that we have set aside for next week. So I just wanted to
advise the Board of that.

VICE-CHAIRMAN: Just before we start, Mr. Bourque, I think there was a
question regarding the session tonight. The plan is we are moving
forward and so, Mr. Furey, if you want -- I don't know who advises
your individuals, if anybody from Fredericton it driving up this
afternoon or --
MR. FUREY: We will -- I think we have got everyone we need, but
thank you, Mr. Vice-Chair.
VICE-CHAIRMAN: Okay. Thank you.
MR. FUREY: Mr. Bourque?
MR. BOURQUE: Thank you.
CROSS-EXAMINATION BY MR. BOURQUE:
Q. - Mr. Murphy, as Chief Financial Officer, do you agree with the
accounting of KPMG?
MR. MURPHY: Sorry, do I understand the question, do I agree with
the accounting of KPMG?
Q. - Yes.
MR. MURPHY: Yes, I do.
Q. - Do you know the account -- the KPMG auditor, and if so who are they?
MR. MURPHY: Sorry, I am having a little difficult time hearing up
here, did you say the owner or the author?
Q. - The auditors, sorry about that.
MR. MURPHY: Yes, I do. I know the primary partner on our
particular audit file.
Q. - Do you have a name for them?
MR. MURPHY: Our primary audit partner is Jamie O'Neil.
Q. - Jamie O'Neil. And I was a bit surprised that when I asked the
question earlier and there was -- the audit was not signed and any
business I have ever been involved with before, the auditors always
came and made the presentation of the audit and this didn't appear to
happen. Is there a reason for that?
MR. MURPHY: So I am not exactly sure of the reference that's being
made, but our audit statements are signed every year. As described,
we have a very traditional process in terms of the auditors coming in
and making a final presentation to the boards of directors. It's at
that time that we do sign off on the audited statements and they are
available online for anybody to go in and view them.
Q. - Mr. Murphy, are you familiar with David Amos and Greg Hickey and
their concerns about the payout to pulp mills by the NB Power Large
Industrial Renewable Energy Purchase programs and the fact that the
U.S. Department of Commerce consider it corporate welfare affecting
the American interest and with trade with Canada?
MR. FUREY: Mr. Chair, we have been down this road before in
previous hearings. Mr. Hickey addressed this in at least one, and if
I am not mistaken, two hearings. And I believe where we objected to
certain questions of Mr. Hickey in the past like this, the Board
concluded that relevant questioning -- that it would be a relevant
question to ask questions related to compliance by NB Power with
provisions of the Electricity Act and the LIREPP regulation, the
renewable regulation, which includes the LIREPP program, but debate
about policy, as to whether or not LIREPP is a desirable policy is not
a matter for this Board and I think we have had that resolved in
previous hearings.
VICE-CHAIRMAN: Mr. Bourque, Mr. Furey is right. We did have --
when Mr. Hickey was here last year, and I think at other hearings, we
had that debate and so it's a policy issue. If you have questions
regarding LIREPP, regarding compliance, I think you are permitted to
ask those questions, but if it's questions regarding policy, regarding
the LIREPP program, it's not relevant and it's in the legislation so
--
MR. BOURQUE: I wasn't aware of what took place last year.
Q. - Mr. Murphy, are you aware of my friend, David Amos and the
concerns with the NB Power since 2006?
MR. MURPHY: I would not say that I am aware of any detailed
concerns that Mr. Amos has expressed.
Q. - Have you read the filings that NB Power filed into the record of
this matter since -- on October 30th of 2017?
MR. MURPHY: Yes, generally I have read all the documents.
Q. - Have you read the transcript of the hearing on October 31st?
MR. MURPHY: I did not read the transcript.
Q. - And have you read the emails that Mr. Amos sent since then?
MR. MURPHY: I did not read the emails. If there is something in
particular that's filed on evidence that you would like to bring up on
the screen for me to review, I am happy to review it and answer
questions on it, but I have not read the emails.
Q. - Ms. Clark, why does NB Power consider the smart meter it wished
to attach to my home a federal matter? If I get sick, or because of
an injury to my home or property, do I sue the federal or do I sue NB
Power?
MS. CLARK: So with respect to the smart meters, the AMI
installation, we would be complying with all of Health Canada's
Guidelines with respect to the meter installation.
Q. - So if there is a problem NB Power is responsible for it or the
federal, if you are complying by the federal regulations?
MR. FUREY: Mr. Vice-Chair, I don't think that's a fair question to
address to this panel.
VICE-CHAIRMAN: Is there going to be another panel that can address
his question, Mr. Furey?
MR. FUREY: Well to be asked to comment in advance on circumstances
in which liability might arise, you know, certainly if there is a
specific fact circumstance presented, maybe the question could be
answered, but this is very broad.
VICE-CHAIRMAN: So are you suggesting that if he rephrases his
question that this panel could answer the question?
MR. FUREY: I guess I would have to hear the question, but I -- what
I am saying is the question as framed is I think impossible to answer.
And it's unfair to ask any witness to commit to liability around a
question as broad as if something goes wrong.
VICE-CHAIRMAN: Mr. Bourque, can you reframe your question?
Q. - Well my -- my concern is the spending of a lot of money for the
smart meters. And as we heard earlier this morning, the temperature
has a big temp' -- a big effect on the use of power. Well do we need
to spend millions of dollars to tell us when the temperature gets
colder and that? NB Power knows that. When the temperature goes
down, they are going to have to start producing, you know, more power
to supply the demand. And I think it's really -- wonder if it's worth
sending that. The other thing is I have received some videos off the
internet of smart meters where they literally caught the side of the
house on fire. There was pictures of just around the meter and that.
So if that happens to my house, who is responsible?
VICE-CHAIRMAN: Panel?
MS. CLARK: I will address your question in two parts. The first
part of it is with respect to the installation of smart meters or the
AMI project. The example that was given would be a perfect reason for
NB Power to install advanced metering infrastructure. During the
times when the utility or when the province is facing very cold
temperatures, having the advanced metering infrastructure in place
would allow customers to have more information readily available
during the month. So when we are dealing with high bill complaints,
like we have been this last month due to the extremely cold
temperatures, customers would actually be able to see their usage
throughout the month and not be subject to receiving a final bill at
the end of the month and being surprised by their consumption because
of the cold weather. So this would be a perfect example of why the
advanced metering infrastructure would be in the -- it would be in the
benefit of our customers.
The second piece, I think with reference to the safety of meters, we
will be following Measurement Canada safety standards, Health Canada
safety standards. All of our meters will be tested. And during the
install, we will actually be able to look at customers' premises to
see if there are any issues related to safety that we should be
addressing at the time. There are specific incidents where there have
been some issues with meters being installed, but those are very
specific to either the geographical location where they were being
installed or the customers' equipment itself. But again when we are
actually installing the meters, as we are installing 355,000 meters
across the province, we will actually be able to visually inspect each
one of those locations to see if there is any issues with respect to
the meter itself or the installation that's on the customers'
premises. But it would depend on what exactly it is we find as to how
it would be handled.
Q. - I got one final question. If a customer decides he doesn't want
a smart meter at his place, can he opt out?
MS. CLARK: Yes, absolutely. We will have an opt out policy.
MR. BOURQUE: Thank you.
VICE-CHAIRMAN: Thank you. Is that all your questions, Mr. Bourque?
MR. BOURQUE: Yes.
VICE-CHAIRMAN: Okay. Thank you.
MR. BOURQUE: Thank you.

Matter 375

IN THE MATTER OF an application by New Brunswick Power Corporation for
approval of the schedules of the rates for the fiscal year commencing
April 1, 2018.

Public Session
held at the Delta Hotel, Saint John, New Brunswick, on February 7th
2018, at 6:00 p.m.

Pages 29 - 43

VICE-CHAIRMAN: Thank you. Mr. Amos?
MR. AMOS: Before I sit down, can I file this document with Mr.
Ervin? Give him this document?
VICE-CHAIRMAN: And what's that document, Mr. Amos?
MR. AMOS: It's two slips of papers that have been on file in the
357 Matter. And then Ms. Harrison with NB Power put a bunch of my
documents in this Matter. So I have these three documents.
VICE-CHAIRMAN: So if you could give it to the Chief Clerk and --
MR. AMOS: But I am directing it to a member of the Board here?
VICE-CHAIRMAN: Well the Chief Clerk --
MR. AMOS: You know who I am.
VICE-CHAIRMAN: -- the Chief Clerk, Mr. Amos, is the one who is
responsible for the documents.
MR. AMOS: You have it in your file already. You said in your
introduction that I didn't file any documents -- or this evening. I
ask that the clerk bring it up.
All that said, I hope I have 15 minutes without interruption this time.
VICE-CHAIRMAN: The floor is yours, Mr. Amos. So if you -- you will
get more than 15 minutes because I allowed six minutes more to Mr.
Galbraith. So --
MR. AMOS: I am grateful for that.
VICE-CHAIRMAN: -- the floor is all yours, Mr. Amos.
MR. AMOS: Yes. As you know, the last time you encountered me was
October the 31st, correct?
Anyway, when I landed on the 31st of October, I was very surprised to
see my friend Roger Richard here. He is a very busy man and a very
quiet man. And I told him it was just a pre-hearing conference where
people looked at their calendars and decided dates. That as a busy
dentist he didn't have to come, get a hotel, that let them work it
out. I said Gerry and I will come and let you know anything you need
to know.
Now I had attended a pre-conference hearing in the 357 Matter and it
went through fairly smooth so I saw no problem with the 375 Matter.
That said, I was very grateful to be involved in the 357 Matter. I
didn't think that I would be allowed to, because I had just made a
call to try to speak to Dave Young who I knew, the day before the
hearing in June of 2017. And the Clerk said would you like to
intervene? I said, can I? And she said the hearings haven't begun
yet, it is up to the Board. And I said, sure. And I really didn't
think that you would allow me to intervene because we have crossed
paths before so many times. But apparently you forgot me and allowed
me to intervene and I introduced myself, was grateful.
I was there because Mr. Hyslop and I had a beef. The voicemail from
Mr. Hyslop and I from 2006 is in the Matter of 357. I stated my
position about Mr. Hyslop wanting to be paid. And you agreed with me.
And he didn't get paid. And within the hour of him withdrawing from
the 357 Matter, NB Power files a submission, not even a motion day,
and wants the entire hearing dismissed sine die, I think his words
were. And it wasn't his action. He was ordered to bring that action.
It was a Board action pursuant to the Act. It wasn't a rate increase.
It was he to report to the Board. And all of a sudden Mr. Russell is
too busy.
Mr. Stoll who has Hugh Segal attached to his law firm who is quite
indignant. I think he saw his gravy train stopping. He flies in.
Other people oppose, as do I. That said, we all go down and the Board
excuses itself but leaves its lawyers in the room. I found that
interesting. And they all work it out and decide that they are not
going to dismiss it forever just -- as the words of CBC -- punt it
down the road. I found that interesting. But I still wanted to cross
examine Mr. Russell. I believe that's his name. Nice guy.
After I had encountered the Board with Mr. Hyslop's matter, I was
invited to a meeting in the Stewart McKelvey law firm boardroom by NB
Power to meet Mr. Todd from Ontario. I called Mr. Todd. I call
everybody. I talk to everybody. I am not a shy man. Mr. Todd knew
who I was. They had rules kind of like Chatham House rules. We could
talk freely, couldn't share what was said outside the room. I would
not sign any document put before me by Mr. Furey. Nobody gets my
signature or my oath unless I trust you. And I certainly don't trust
Mr. Furey. I encountered him when he was an assistant attorney
general many years ago. He was asking me questions about my
investigations of dead Indians.
Anyway, all that said, Mr. Russell, nice guy, Mr. Todd, a nice guy.
They are talking about things I can't talk about as per the rules. I
am a man of my word. But I have some questions. And I can certainly
state my questions, not what they said, but I can say what I said.
The first question I had was -- years ago another crown corporation
known as Hydro Quebec wanted to buy NB Power. I used to be in
business. I am no fool. Why would I buy a company that is nothing
but debt? I said you have to raise these rates to meet a new Act put
out by David Alward and the boys for 20 percent equity.
Well I am here to tell you, Hydro Quebec is not stupid. They made
enough profit last year to buy NB Power in total. They are not going
to buy a company just to assume debt. You have assets. Of course you
have assets. You have got Lepreau, the dams, you have got your
computers. You most importantly got the transmission lines. And I
said I think they are worth more than 20 percent. And I was asking
what's the equity right now? Nobody knew. Nobody knew. And one guy
speculated 4 percent. The other guy 6 or 8 percent. And they said,
well there is, you know, a financial statement coming out in short
order. I said good. I look forward to seeing it. They filed it in
this Matter. Not signed.
I was in business. I had an auditor. When he reported to the taxman
-- and my old man used to be tax supervisor of this province. And
after he died my -- he left a very pretty widow, my momma, chief
electoral officer of this province. My brother-in-law's law firm
partner is Brian Mosher. He helped Peter MacKay merge with Mr.
Harper's party. And I ran against Mr. Harper's friends five times.
Most importantly against one of your board members, John Herron. Ask
him about me.
So anyway that said, I say, I think you are way over 20 percent
equity. It doesn't make sense. Hydro Quebec is not a stupid company.
But Mr. Russell had no answers. Mr. Todd kept interfering saying
those are questions to ask at a hearing. I said well may be according
to you. But I thought I was invited to speak my mind and open. And I
had problems with conflict of interest. For instance, Irving's
lawyers of Stewart McKelvey represent NB Power as they are suing
Lloyd's for London over losses at Lepreau, about things that happened
at Lepreau, right. Well if they have NB Power for a client here and
the Irvings for a client here, as the Irvings intervene in this Matter
or hustle for more money for pulp pills, I smell a conflict of
interest.
And then we have Lenny Hoyt. He was the campaign manager for Andy
Scott when I ran against Andy Scott in Fredericton in 2005, '6. Well
Lenny knows me, as does Frank McKenna, as does Richard Bell. And
Lenny, he also picked the cabinet for Mr. Gallant. Ms. Black here is
from the same law firm, McInnes and Cooper as is Frank McKenna and
Richard Bell was. And I believe she was Public Intervenor with --
underneath the conservatives. And usually they change them. Like
usually the Public Interveners come and go with the color of the coat
that takes the office. But she kept. And I think that had to do with
McInnes and Cooper. And then I see a conflict of interest there
because Lenny Hoyt also gets a job with Enbridge who would love to see
the rates go up because it makes them look better. But I am not a
ratepayer these days because I have been homeless since 2005 and you
all know why. I served the documents upon you in 2006 when dead
Bernie was the chair. And you were suing Venezuela and New York
because it's against the law to sue another country in Canada. You as
lawyers should know that. So you hired Simpson Bartlett and Thatcher
to sue Mr. Chavez's company. He is in New York.
And Simpson, Bartlett and Thatcher, I am very familiar with. One of
their partners is a black man named Harper. He sits on the Board of
Harvard. And my wife's cousin sat on the Board of Governors of
Harvard Law School when even Barack Obama graduated. I sued him too.
More importantly, Simpson Bartlett and Thatcher are like Valerie --
Valerie Capone, Robert Mueller's lawyer. Simpson Bartlett and
Thatcher. I consider them like the icing in a very bad Oreo cookie.
Both the Democrats and the Republicans use that law firm. You can't
fool me when it comes to lawyers.
And Mr. Ervin, Patrick Ervin in case you don't know, I was accepted
in the Royal Military College in 1970 without having to finish my
finals. I am a very good bike mechanic. But I got 99 on my math and
physics matrix only because they wouldn't give 100.
I am named after my father's captain from World War 2. He won the
Victoria Cross. He was killed on my mom's birthday, May 24th. His
name was David Hornell. Raymond my mother's favourite brother was
killed --
VICE-CHAIRMAN: So, Mr. Amos, I hate interrupting --
MR. AMOS: You are interrupting me, sir.
VICE-CHAIRMAN: No, I am --
MR. AMOS: I am talking to your associate.
VICE-CHAIRMAN: Yes.
MR. AMOS: He is a former soldier, 19 years.
VICE-CHAIRMAN: Sir --
MR. AMOS: You have got to understand the meaning of the word integrity.
VICE-CHAIRMAN: I want to --
MR. AMOS: You promised not to interrupt me --
VICE-CHAIRMAN: Mr. --
MR. AMOS: -- sir.
VICE-CHAIRMAN: -- Amos, I won't argue with you here tonight, but
what is the relevance --
MR. AMOS: Well then are you shutting me down, sir?
VICE-CHAIRMAN: No, I am not shutting you down. What I am saying is --
MR. AMOS: Do you want me to sue you, sir? Then turn off your mic.
VICE-CHAIRMAN: What I am saying, sir, is we are here regarding the
application --
MR. AMOS: I am talking about the filings that your associates put
in this Matter on their own. Ms. Harrison signed a submission calling
me vexatious. This Board sided calling me vexatious.
You said I could stay and assist my friends and speak tonight for 15
minutes, plus 6.
Mr. Gorman, Queen's Counsel was done his tour of duty February 1st.
I don't know who the new chair is. But they had a head hunter in
Toronto and I called the young fellow and applied for the job. And he
said oh it is not for chair. I said you better check your ad. And he
said oh that's a mistake. I said so you are not head hunting for a
chair of the Board? He said no. And I said well if I can't be the
boss, I don't want the job.
I bet you will be the new chair. You and Mr. Nugent know me. That
said, Mr. Costello and Mr. Ervin both worked for Bell Aliant. In 2004
-- you have an MBA as well and I do have respect for soldiers, sir. I
am named after decent soldiers who fought for democracy and rule of
law. You are a lawyer, an MBA. I am a whistle blower against KPMG,
the auditors of NB Power.
Everything about this hearing has to do with rate increases based on
the auditing of a company I blew the whistle on in 2002. I caused
hearings at the Senate Banking Committee. If you look at the
documents, you will see the -- Anne McLellan, Deputy Prime Minister of
Canada and the Inspector General of the Department of Homeland
Security, two of the documents NB Power left out when they filed it in
this Matter had concerns about my safety then. Do you have any idea
how many people have tried to kill me? This union talks about
courage. I am full of it. And I think you can see it in my eyes. A
former soldier knows when a man is not joking.
But I am begging you, sir, because you are new to me, you might not
have read any of the submissions yet that NB Power put in 375. Or the
true submissions in 357. And on October the 31st, I land here and I
see my friend Roger sitting here. I go what are you doing here? He
said I am -- I thought you were mad at me? I said why? He said well
you weren't answering my emails. I said I haven't been on the
internet. He said well -- I said what are you doing here? He said
you don't know? I said I don't know nothing. I haven't been on the
-- what are you talking about? He says they are going to boot you out
of here. I said what for?
And Roger had written a big document. He had come hundreds of miles
to defend his friend. I was honored. He is a very shy man. He had a
head of steam on. And what are you talking about? And he -- and I
get the password for this hotel. I have a look at the submission. A
man from heaven. I sue lawyers. I have sued more lawyers, and law
firms and attorney generals than most folks can name. You want to
pick a fight with me? Skitter, scatter let's get at er, right. But I
should have time to file the -- look at the documents.
The first thing I notice Mr. Furey didn't sign it. Their
Vice-President did. Well that's interesting, right. And then I see
they are incomplete. I see where he filed an affidavit of mine that
disappeared from public record. I was glad to see that one filed.
Said so, right. But out of the gate, pre-trial conference hearing,
first time look at the documents. This Furey character pulled the
same trick that he pulled on my friend today. A bunch of documents
last minute and expects to argue. To this Board's credit, they didn't
allow him to get away with it this time. They certainly did with me,
as you recall.
Anyway that said, I tried to say as much as I could in rebuttal, kept
getting interrupted by Mr. Gorman. But I am speaking to the
transcript because this is not a court. You act like a court. You
are not a court. You can come out of whatever recommendations you
wish and it's up to Mr. Doucet and Mr. Gallant to decide whether it's
politically important to allow NB Power to have their rate increase.
This predecessor to this EUB board, the PUB used to have public
hearings. I wanted to speak on one after I ran for parliament. I ran
against Mr. Herron, Dave Young was on CBC. He wouldn't let me speak
on the airwaves, against the CBC's mandate. You are supposed to be
nonpartisan. Well I complained of Mr. Young to CBC.
The next time I encounter him, I am calling the PUB to speak at a
public hearing, just like I am now. I was intervening in the Emera
Pipeline project. I ran in to Nova Scotia's Power's lawyers, Emera's
lawyers, the Irving's lawyers, NB Power's lawyers, 2006 while I was
running in Saint John Harbour. Mr. Hyslop was running in Saint John
Harbour too.
Anyway, Bernie Lord -- the PUB had hearings with the Conservation
Council and everything else. This went on and on. And the PUB to its
credit decided it wasn't wise to refurbish Lepreau. Yay. I am a tree
hugger who loves his guns. You figure out my politics. But I am
definitely anti-nuc. And the PUB decides no, we shouldn't refurbish
Lepreau. That's nuts. Good for them. Bernie Lord, I think it was in
2005, stroke of the pen going to refurbish Lepreau. So much for the
power of the PUB or the EUB.
Anyway, I have got opinions about that, because I am going why don't
we just buy our power from Quebec, it's cheaper than producing it, or
buying it from Irving, or Emera or anyone else. I have some things to
say. PUB won't let me speak. Oh, we are too busy. We have got a big
roaster, not enough room for you, Mr. Amos. I pick up the phone and
call a farmer friend of mine. I said call this Dave Young character
and see if you can speak. Yeah, he got right on. I said well ask
this question, and this question and this question. They thought he
was the smartest farmer they ever met.
Now since you guys have barred me but admitted I could assist my
friends, Mr. Bourque and Mr. Richard, I had Mr. Richard ask two
questions. One was do you have a mandate to buy smart meters?
Because it was my understanding that's what 357 was about. NB Power
to its credit answered him. Said no. He tried to file a motion about
it. The motion filing was misunderstood. You asked him in person.
And he told you. And then you said well you didn't serve it on the
other interveners. Roger is not a lawyer and he did the best he
could. And you as a lawyer shouldn't ask a question if you don't
already know the answer. And he answered you. They don't have a
mandate. So why are we putting the cart before the horse, is what I
am asking? $122 million is not junk change.
And then I had Gerry back up Roger today by asking another simple
question. You can go all over YouTube and see people complaining that
they get sick in the vicinity of smart meters and stuff like that.
And well that's like a back pain to me. Legally speaking could be,
could be not. I don't know enough about it. He has an expert that
does. But what's not rocket science to me is when somebody's house
burns down and the smart meter is the source.
I heard the lady from NB Power today brag how smart meters would tell
you that your power is out and you wouldn't have to call NB Power.
Well she should have read the news in Maine yesterday where they have
smart meters. And the Board down there that oversees the public
utility down there were cursing that smart meters didn't say that
Mainers were out of power on October 30th. Read the news. I put it
in CBC's News today while I was watching you guys talk. I am hearing
her brag one thing and I know different. It's in the news.
So anyway, I had Gerry ask the question, well if my house burns down
who do I sue NB Power or Justin Trudeau? And I will tell you this,
New Brunswick doesn't have a constitution. Everything is federal in
New Brunswick. Even when you change language laws in New Brunswick
you have to change the federal constitution. The Province of New
Brunswick does not have a constitution. I have argued that in Federal
Court. All that said, Roger --
VICE-CHAIRMAN: Mr. Amos, I will intervene now. It's 7:06, so you
had your 21 minutes.
MR. AMOS: All right. I will see you in another court.
VICE-CHAIRMAN: So I would ask you --
MR. AMOS: That's fine. I am suing you. It's him I am concerned
about. He might be dead before me.
VICE-CHAIRMAN: Thank you very much. Thank you, Mr. Amos. So our
next presenter is Margot Cragg from the Union of Municipalities of New
Brunswick? Ms. Cragg?

Matter 375

IN THE MATTER OF an application by New Brunswick Power Corporation for
approval of the schedules of the rates for the fiscal year commencing
April 1, 2018.
held at the Delta Hotel Saint John, New Brunswick, on October 31, 2017.

Pages 69 - 72

CHAIRMAN: Thank you, Mr. Furey. So, Mr. Amos, now you were provided
this morning with an hour to review Mr. Furey's documents that he
filed with the Board, and I think it was three or four pages of
documents. The balance of documents were ones that you had filed in
the past. So you have had an opportunity to review his submission?
MR. AMOS: Absolutely.
CHAIRMAN: And you, of course, heard Mr. Furey's comments that he
has just concluded. So you know what the issue is that he raises?
MR. AMOS: I heard every word he said.
CHAIRMAN: Okay. So do you have a -- do you have some comments
about what he is asking for?
MR. AMOS: Yes, Mr. Gorman, I do. First off, I am grateful that he
filed my documents in this matter. However, he shouldn't cherry pick.
If he is going to file my documents, he should file all that he has
received. But dealing with the exhibits that he has filed, he has now
made a federal case out of a 2 percent rate hike. I remind Mr. Furey
that murder is a capital crime and when he worked for the Attorney
General of New Brunswick in 2004, who was Brad Green, his boss
received evidence of murder. Brad Green acknowledged it. He now sits
on the bench of the Court of Appeal.
Anyway, I had ran for Parliament in 2004, the 38th Parliament against
a member of your Board, John Herron. That was when it was the Public
Utilities Board. David Young, who worked for another Crown
Corporation, who is a senior advisor to your Board now, I believe got
fired because I complained of him, because he wouldn't allow me to
speak on the radio and give me equal time as my political opponents,
just like Mr. Furey doesn't want me to speak before the Board today,
even though I am a stakeholder in this hearing. He has no more
standing here than I do, other than he collects a big pay cheque that
my taxpayer funds are paying. But as an officer of the court, he is
obliged to uphold the law. He filed my documents in this matter. I
did not. He did. Then he says I am vexatious. I am surprised he
didn't call me frivolous as well. The Crown usually calls me that. I
understand the term, vexatious. He is the man who is vexatious.
In the 357 Matter, if we go first things first, there is a
transcript, which I have uploaded, you can review it or I can read it
to you. You asked me why I was intervening. Exhibit A of his
documents, I didn't know who Mr. Furey was. I had no idea what
lawyers or what was going on in 357, except on June 14th I heard on
the radio Mr. Hyslop had a motion before this Board in a pre-hearing
to be paid to help his assistant. I saw red. I remembered Mr. Hyslop
from the PUB. I remember Mr. Hyslop when I ran in Saint John Harbour,
while he run against Abe LeBlanc. I remember I was intervening in an
NEB hearing and arguing Cedric Haines of NB Power while he worked for
the Attorney General. I remember talking to him about murdered
Indians. That said, all I had issues with was Mr. Hyslop wanting paid
again. I had checked from CBC and some years he was paid like
$700,000. I had issues with him in 2006. David Young wouldn't let me
speak before the PUB Board even in a public hearing. So I had to send
a farmer. That said, I am asking Hyslop, you are the Public
Intervenor, what do you know of my concerns? I had concerns about the
refurbishment of Lepreau, Coleson Cove. If you go on Charles
LeBlanc's blog from April of 2006, you can even see I was dealing with
a lawyer named Richard Costello -- same last name as you, sir -- who
worked for McInnes Cooper, who was hired by Venezuela to check with
the PUB as to when a pipeline went from the Irving refinery to Coleson
Cove. I wanted to know about that too. So I talked to Mr. Costello.
The email between Mr. Costello and I is still in Charles LeBlanc's
blog from 2006.
While I was running for Parliament in Fredericton, and I doubt that
Mr. Furey voted for me, I was running against Andy Scott, Minister of
Indian Affairs and he worked for the Attorney General for Indian
Affairs. Now I went to high school with Andy Scott. Barb Baird used
to be Brad Green's boss. I went to high school with her too. Now I
don't know if you guys know who I am, but many people in this neck of
the woods do. My brother-in-law's law firm partner helped Peter
MacKay merge with Mr. Harper's party. When I sued Americans over
taxation and about improper tax accountants like KPMG, Grant Thornton,
ringing any bells? That was in 2002. I am glad he brought up the
Department of Homeland Security. Those are the guys that tried to
take me to Cuba in 2003 after I started winning lawsuits. You are
right, I sue people that don't do their job. Particularly, the people
that are well paid to act in our best interests. I file
whistle-blower forms with the U.S. tax man and they try to arrest me.
You are right, I sue them. A lawyer calls me a liar, well he better
check my work before he goes too far.

Hey Perrin Beatty et al

Please enjoy the pdf file hereto attached Page 10 in Tab E of my
Appeal Book tells an intersting tale about Mr Morneau and mean old me.
Obviously I approached the wealthy dude Mr Morneau before polling day
just like I did with you before you won your first seat as an MP from
Montreal N'esy Pas Mr Prime Minister Trudeau "The Younger" ???

So Mr MorneauI wonder if you checked the Federal Court docket when you
were in Fat Fred City nearly two months before I stood in court.

I must say you said some interesting things out of the gate in this interview.

Federal Finance Minister Bill Morneau is in Fredericton AGAIN TODAY.

Do tell do you LIEbranos dudes have any idea how many emails and
documents etc of mine you have acknowledged since 2003 or how many of
your minions have played dumb with me during during the same period of
time particularly during 5 elections I ran within against you and
Harper too?

Its truly amazing to me that I have been arguing your lawyers in
Federal Court for nearly two years and yet you still continue to play
dumb even when I get an email from the Minister of Revenue just before
I stood before the Federal Court of Appeal and Mr Morneau even
acknowledged it DUHHH???.

Mr Morneau if your minions forgot that acknowleged the receipt of many
of my aforementioned emails simply scrolll down to review. (BTW I also
added proof of one I got today and another older email that should
interest al lot of Doctors these days who don't like you closing
loopholes for them while you dudes protect your money)

Whereas as you dudes won't respond to me perhaps you will enjoy
reading what the news dudes say about you. I know I do as I prepare to
file several more lawsuits. Scroll down to review some juicy ones I
have selected. Need I say that I find it commical that most of the
spin is written by the Canadian Press then the other news outfits just
republish it?

"And no crook in Canada has come close to the US$52-billion stolen by
Bernard Madoff while the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission,
which had massive reports accusing him of fraud, looked the other way.
Gaming the system is not a uniquely Canadian talent."

Livesey's many Media Co-op buddies and everybody else in the know in
Fat Fred City knew in 2009 that I was involved in making Madoff change
his plea to guilty. You know Werner Bock, Danny Boy Fitzgerald and
his well heeled daddy Tony quite well CORRECT Tracy Baby?

Ms Olsen

Thank you for keeping me informed.

Yes unseal all my emails with all their attachments immediately and
make certain that the US Attorny's office finally practices full
disclosurement as to who I am and what my concerns are as per the Rule
of Law within a purported democracy.

As you folks all well know I am not a shy man and I have done nothing
wrong. It appears to me that bureacratic people only use the right to
privacy of others when it suits their malicious ends in order to
protect their butts from impreacment, litigation and prosecution.

The people in the US Attorney's Office and the SEC etc are very well
aware that I protested immediately to everyone I could think of when
the instant I knew that my correspondences went under seal and Madoff
pled guilty so quickly and yet another cover up involing my actions
was under full steam. Everybody knows that.the US Government has been
trying to keep my concerns about the rampant public corruption a
secret for well over seven long years. However now that a lot of
people and their countries in general are losing a lot of money people
are beginning to remember just exactly who I am and what i did
beginning over seven years ago..

Minister's visiting N.B. to tackle tough tax talk
ADAM BOWIE The Daily Gleaner

September 21, 2017

Federal Finance Minister Bill Morneau will visit Fredericton this
weekend to discuss his government's proposed tax reforms with business
leaders from across the country during the Canadian Chamber of
Commerce's annual general meeting.

Krista Ross, CEO of the Fredericton chamber, said Morneau is expected
to make a presentation, then field questions from the room as part of
a question-and-answer session.

In a news conference to be held afterwards, she said, five local
business professionals will share their concerns about how the
proposed changes - which the government insists are designed to make
the taxation model more "fair" - could affect their operations.

She said she's grateful Morneau will attend the meeting to hear
directly from the Canadian business community.

"We're hopeful that he will be receptive to our comments," she said.

"So far, we haven't seen a lot of movement. We've been told that he's
looking at making some tweaks [to the proposed changes]. But we think
that, first of all, we need some more time to have a better
consultation."

Perrin Beatty, president and CEO of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce,
said it'll be an important opportunity to further debate these
potential changes.

“We are grateful to Minister Morneau for taking time to speak to our
network about these proposed changes. In my 10 years at the chamber, I
have never seen an issue that generated greater concern among our
members,” he said in a news release.

Morneau has said the government is currently in "listening mode,"
hoping to gather feedback about the changes they've proposed.

He's said the proposal has been supported by a number of national
organizations, including the Canadian Labour Congress, the Canadian
Nurses Association, Canadians for Tax Fairness, the Canadian
Association of Social Workers, the Canadian Centre for Policy
Alternatives and the Broadbent Institute.

The current tax system allows someone earning $300,000 to use a
private corporation “to save about as much as the average Canadian
earns in a year,” Morneau wrote in a letter he sent to three National
Democratic Party MPs who had criticized the changes.

“This leads to situations where an incorporated doctor can be taxed at
a lower rate than a nurse practitioner or police officer.”

Re My calls about Peter Milliken, Iceland and The Federal Court of
Canada File # T-1557-15 and the upcoming hearing on May 24th in
Fredericton New Brunswick

For the public record after I received the responses found below I
call Ingrid back. Trust that she was not nearly as nice to me as she
was on Friday. Anyway after she denied reading my emails that the
computers of her bosses in Iceland acknowledged, she told to keep my
calls to Iceland at minimum. I can only presume that order also
applies to their spokespersons in my native land as well. Correct Mr
Mellish et al?

Birgitta Jonsdottier and her old paly Julian Assane or anyone else
should find this Interesting if one considers the fact that the former
Icelandic Prime Minister in October of 2008 promised to get back to me
and never did. Then after the worldwide ecomomy to a nosedive and he
was ousted the Icelandic Minister of Finance apologized for the delay.
Howver to this very day Iceland has NEVER answered the HARD COPY I
sent them byway of their Ambassador in Ottawa and the Speaker of the
Canadian House by tracked Canada Post in the spring of 2006. At lease
the Canadian lawyer Peter Millliken was alway polite to me even the
Kevin Vickers and his many buddies in the RCMP etc NEVER were.

Go Figure why I must sue Iceland in the USA someday EH?.

Subject: Your various correspondence about abusive tax schemes - 2017-02631
To: motomaniac333@gmail.com

Mr. David Raymond Amos
motomaniac333@gmail.com

Dear Mr. Amos:

Thank you for your various correspondence about abusive tax schemes,
and for your understanding regarding the delay of this response.

This is an opportunity for me to address your concerns about the way
the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) deals with aggressive tax planning,
tax avoidance, and tax evasion by targeting individuals and groups
that promote schemes intended to avoid payment of tax. It is also an
opportunity for me to present the Government of Canada’s main
strategies for ensuring fairness for all taxpayers.

The CRA’s mission is to preserve the integrity of Canada’s tax system,
and it is taking concrete and effective action to deal with abusive
tax schemes. Through federal budget funding in 2016 and 2017, the
government has committed close to $1 billion in cracking down on tax
evasion and combatting tax avoidance at home and through the use of
offshore transactions. This additional funding is expected to generate
federal revenues of $2.6 billion over five years for Budget 2016, and
$2.5 billion over five years for Budget 2017.

More precisely, the CRA is cracking down on tax cheats by hiring more
auditors, maintaining its underground economy specialist teams,
increasing coverage of aggressive goods and service tax/harmonized
sales tax planning, increasing coverage of multinational corporations
and wealthy individuals, and taking targeted actions aimed at
promoters of abusive tax schemes.

On the offshore front, the CRA continues to develop tools to improve
its focus on high‑risk taxpayers. It is also considering changes to
its Voluntary Disclosures Program following the first set of program
recommendations received from an independent Offshore Compliance
Advisory Committee. In addition, the CRA is leading international
projects to address the base erosion and profit shifting initiative of
the G20 and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and
Development, and is collaborating with treaty partners to address the
Panama Papers leaks.

These actions are evidence of the government’s commitment to
protecting tax fairness. The CRA has strengthened its intelligence and
technical capacities for the early detection of abusive tax
arrangements and deterrence of those who participate in them. To
ensure compliance, it has increased the number of actions aimed at
promoters who use illegal schemes. These measures include increased
audits of such promoters, improved information gathering, criminal
investigations where warranted, and better communication with
taxpayers.

To deter potential taxpayer involvement in these schemes, the CRA is
increasing notifications and warnings through its communications
products. It also seeks partnerships with tax preparers, accountants,
and community groups so that they can become informed observers who
can educate their clients.

The CRA will assess penalties against promoters and other
representatives who make false statements involving illegal tax
schemes. The promotion of tax schemes to defraud the government can
lead to criminal investigations, fingerprinting, criminal prosecution,
court fines, and jail time.

Between April 1, 2011, and March 31, 2016, the CRA’s criminal
investigations resulted in the conviction of 42 Canadian taxpayers for
tax evasion with links to money and assets held offshore. In total,
the $34 million in evaded taxes resulted in court fines of $12 million
and 734 months of jail time.

When deciding to pursue compliance actions through the courts, the CRA
consults the Department of Justice Canada to choose an appropriate
solution. Complex tax-related litigation is costly and time consuming,
and the outcome may be unsuccessful. All options to recover amounts
owed are considered.

More specifically, in relation to the KPMG Isle of Man tax avoidance
scheme, publicly available court records show that it is through the
CRA’s efforts that the scheme was discovered. The CRA identified many
of the participants and continues to actively pursue the matter. The
CRA has also identified at least 10 additional tax structures on the
Isle of Man, and is auditing taxpayers in relation to these
structures.

To ensure tax fairness, the CRA commissioned an independent review in
March 2016 to determine if it had acted appropriately concerning KPMG
and its clients. In her review, Ms. Kimberley Brooks, Associate
Professor and former Dean of the Schulich School of Law at Dalhousie
University, examined the CRA’s operational processes and decisions in
relation to the KPMG offshore tax structure and its efforts to obtain
the names of all taxpayers participating in the scheme. Following this
review, the report, released on May 5, 2016, concluded that the CRA
had acted appropriately in its management of the KPMG Isle of Man
file. The report found that the series of compliance measures the CRA
took were in accordance with its policies and procedures. It was
concluded that the procedural actions taken on the KPMG file were
appropriate given the facts of this particular case and were
consistent with the treatment of taxpayers in similar situations. The
report concluded that actions by CRA employees were in accordance with
the CRA’s Code of Integrity and Professional Conduct. There was no
evidence of inappropriate interaction between KPMG and the CRA
employees involved in the case.

Under the CRA’s Code of Integrity and Professional Conduct, all CRA
employees are responsible for real, apparent, or potential conflicts
of interests between their current duties and any subsequent
employment outside of the CRA or the Public Service of Canada.
Consequences and corrective measures play an important role in
protecting the CRA’s integrity.

The CRA takes misconduct very seriously. The consequences of
misconduct depend on the gravity of the incident and its repercussions
on trust both within and outside of the CRA. Misconduct can result in
disciplinary measures up to dismissal.

All forms of tax evasion are illegal. The CRA manages the Informant
Leads Program, which handles leads received from the public regarding
cases of tax evasion across the country. This program, which
coordinates all the leads the CRA receives from informants, determines
whether there has been any non-compliance with tax law and ensures
that the information is examined and conveyed, if applicable, so that
compliance measures are taken. This program does not offer any reward
for tips received.

The new Offshore Tax Informant Program (OTIP) has also been put in
place. The OTIP offers financial compensation to individuals who
provide information related to major cases of offshore tax evasion
that lead to the collection of tax owing. As of December 31, 2016, the
OTIP had received 963 calls and 407 written submissions from possible
informants. Over 218 taxpayers are currently under audit based on
information the CRA received through the OTIP.

With a focus on the highest-risk sectors nationally and
internationally and an increased ability to gather information, the
CRA has the means to target taxpayers who try to hide their income.
For example, since January 2015, the CRA has been collecting
information on all international electronic funds transfers (EFTs) of
$10,000 or more ending or originating in Canada. It is also adopting a
proactive approach by focusing each year on four jurisdictions that
raise suspicion. For the Isle of Man, the CRA audited 3,000 EFTs
totalling $860 million over 12 months and involving approximately 800
taxpayers. Based on these audits, the CRA communicated with
approximately 350 individuals and 400 corporations and performed 60
audits.

In January 2017, I reaffirmed Canada’s important role as a leader for
tax authorities around the world in detecting the structures used for
aggressive tax planning and tax evasion. This is why Canada works
daily with the Joint International Tax Shelter Information Centre
(JITSIC), a network of tax administrations in over 35 countries. The
CRA participates in two expert groups within the JITSIC and leads the
working group on intermediaries and proponents. This ongoing
collaboration is a key component of the CRA’s work to develop strong
relationships with the international community, which will help it
refine the world-class tax system that benefits all Canadians.

The CRA is increasing its efforts and is seeing early signs of
success. Last year, the CRA recovered just under $13 billion as a
result of its audit activities on the domestic and offshore fronts.
Two-thirds of these recoveries are the result of its audit efforts
relating to large businesses and multinational companies.

But there is still much to do, and additional improvements and
investments are underway.

Tax cheats are having a harder and harder time hiding. Taxpayers who
choose to promote or participate in malicious and illegal tax
strategies must face the consequences of their actions. Canadians
expect nothing less. I invite you to read my most recent statement on
this matter at canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/news/2017/03/
statement_from_thehonourabledianelebouthillierministerofnational.

Thank you for taking the time to write. I hope the information I have
provided is helpful.

Sincerely,

The Honourable Diane Lebouthillier
Minister of National Revenue
