Ties matter: Green MLA will represent New Brunswickers by sporting their neckties
Kevin Arseneau doesn't own many ties — so he's calling on his constituents for ties meaningful to them
As soon as Kevin Arseneau realized he'd been elected as the new Green Party MLA for Kent North, he knew he had a problem.
He was going to have to start wearing neckties.
"One of my first questions to the clerk was, 'What are the other options?'" he said. "I was kind of looking for a creative way to get out of it, but there's not really any way out of it."

Green MLA makes call out for ties
Kevin Arsenault doesn't like ties, but he'll wear meaningful ones for his MLA job. 1:02
The rules of the legislative assembly require men to wear ties if they're in the chamber during official business.
But Arseneau, a 33-year-old organic farmer from Rogersville, owns exactly two ties — each of which he has worn exactly once.
"I got married without a tie," he said.
He complained on Twitter, tongue-in-cheek, about the stuffy requirement, and in response received two ties in the mail from one of his fans, Louisiana-based Cajun singer and activist Zachary Richard.
And that gave Arseneau an idea.
"The tie means nothing for me, absolutely nothing for me. I'm not wearing it for me. I'm not going to go shop for some ties and blow my money on some ties," he said.
"I'm thinking to myself: 'Why am I wearing a tie? I'm wearing a tie so I can be in the legislative assembly and defend my constituents and defend the people who elected me, so why don't I wear their ties instead?'"
Arseneau posted to Facebook to ask that his constituents mail him ties — ties that are meaningful to them somehow.
And, he said, he plans to find a way to pass on why the ties matter.
"I might as well, if I have the tie on, know what it means and what it stands for," he said. "I definitely want to tell those stories."
Before posting the request, the rookie MLA checked with the ethics commissioner on the restrictions on accepting gifts.
"I hope there are not ties that are worth that kind of money," Arseneau said.
No ties have arrived yet, but Arseneau said he has received many messages that some are on the way.

My biggest problem now is I've got to learn how to tie the knot. I haven't done that yet.-Kevin Arseneau, MLASo he's stipulating that he'll send back any ties from people or businesses who have dealings with the government, or that exceed the maximum allowable value for a gift: $250.
"I hope there are not ties that are worth that kind of money," Arseneau said.
No ties have arrived yet, but Arseneau said he has received many messages that some are on the way.
"My biggest problem now is I've got to learn how to tie the knot. I haven't done that yet," he said. "I was hoping Zachary sent them with the knot already in. I'm going to be looking at YouTube videos or asking my dad or [Green Leader David Coon] for some pointers."

The downside of the promise to freeze NB Power rates
Former public intervenor Peter Hyslop calls the Liberal promise to
freeze power rates blatant interference, and a sad return to the days
when political parties used NB Power as a vote-getting operation.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/nb-power-rates-gallant-liberal-weather-1.4802946
Liberal Leader Brian Gallant says NB Power has to do better. (Nicolas Steinbach/Radio-Canada)
A Liberal promise to freeze power rates for residential customers and small businesses drew sharp criticism from opposition parties Wednesday.
Liberal Brian Gallant said the party would introduce legislation to freeze rates for some customers over the next four years and force NB Power to cut jobs and spending.
"Many people's power bills are going up faster than their wages," Gallant said during a campaign announcement on the lawn of a private home in Moncton.
The
legislation would force NB Power to find about $13 million in annual
savings to make up for revenue it would have otherwise raised if it
could increase the cost of electricity.
NB Power spokeswoman Sheila Lagacé said the utility won't be commenting "as this is an election campaign promise."
David Coon, leader of the Green Party, and NDP Leader Jennifer McKenzie both called the Liberal plan an "irresponsible" move.
"We have a regulatory process that's designed to ensure that any rate increase proposals are properly vetted and if they're not warranted, they're turned down," Coon said, referring to the Energy and Utilities Board.
McKenzie called it a "dangerous path" the Liberals have proposed and suggested a better approach would be focusing on developing renewable energy.
Blaine Higgs, the Progressive Conservative leader, said "putting a political hand-cuff" around the utility will make its financial situation less secure.
"One way or another, the people of the province will pay for a rate freeze," Higgs said in Lamèque.
NB Power forecasts a two per cent rate increase each year as it seeks to pay down its $4.8 billion debt. The utility recorded a profit of $23 million in the last fiscal year.
People's Alliance Leader Kris Austin said in an emailed statement that the Liberal announcement "is an encouraging idea." But he said the financial strain of increasing power bills isn't new.
"We question as to why only during an election cycle does the Gallant government offer a small relief, after four years of tax increases that have many at the breaking point," Austin said. "Seeing as this promise is coming from the Liberals, is this a promise the people can really trust?"
Annual increases of two per cent per year would cost residential and small businesses more than $13 million a year over the next four years, said Gallant.
The freeze would also apply for municipal utilities on electricity purchased from NB Power for either residential or small business customers.
Blaine
Higgs, the Progressive Conservative leader, says the Liberal promise
effectively means 'putting a political hand-cuff' around the utility
that will make its financial situation less secure. (Radio-Canada)
The freeze would not apply for large industrial customers.
Asked what would happen if NB Power shifted the rate increase to industrial customers, Gallant said the utility would have to make up the $13 million difference through "efficiencies" in measures the party has proposed.
"We will mandate them to find the $13 million and we will have a discussion with the measures we'll put in place, and we hope they'll come with their own ideas," Gallant said. "With the measures we put in place, we believe we can find the $13 million, but even more than that."
He said the legislation will include an "incentive" for NB Power to cut costs so rate increases aren't required.
"Call it a stick, if you will, but we're going to make it real clear that they're going to have to reduce power rates and that's going to be the case for four years," he said.
A Liberal government would also reduce the size of management at NB Power by 30 per cent and would require a review of senior salaries. It would also set a "cap" on administrative expenses as a percentage of overall expenses.
The Liberals would also prevent NB Power from introducing any kind of "weather tax" to help pay for extreme weather events, he said.
The 2017 ice storm cost NB Power about $30 million.
Voters head to the polls on Sept. 24.

Liberals promised to freeze NB Power rates for four years, but that
pledge could be scrapped as the party courts Green support for the
upcoming throne speech. (Shane Fowler/CBC)
The likelihood of NB Power having its rates frozen for the next four years appears to have dimmed to near zero given the uncertainty over who will govern the province — even if New Brunswick Liberals manage to retain power — and the utility can thank its old nemesis, Green Party leader David Coon, for the reprieve.
"It's a non-starter," Coon said Thursday about the signature Liberal campaign promise to bypass the Energy and Utilities Board and impose up to $300 million in rate freezes on the financially challenged utility over the next four years.
"Freezing
power rates is a bad idea. It's interference in a regulatory process;
we've got to look at the best economic interests of New Brunswickers. It
would be foolish."
Premier Brian Gallant has said he will seek to find "common ground" with Green Party MLAs in an upcoming throne speech to win enough support to keep governing — a condition the freeze does not meet.
Premier
Brian Gallant hinted Thursday the Liberal platform could be modified to
incorporate elements from other parties' platforms. (Photo: CBC)
"We
believe we can earn the votes of many in the legislature," Gallant said
Thursday. "We want to be able to consult and discuss what should get
into the speech from the throne. We are open to other ideas from other
political parties "
No Liberal election promise attracted more scorn from Coon during the campaign than the proposed rate freeze, a position he has not budged on since.
Gallant has not said the freeze is dead, but on Thursday sounded like he might be laying the groundwork for its funeral.
"We
have to be open to the other political parties platforms, which means
we have to put water in our wine for our platform as well," said Gallant
when asked if Coon's objections to the rate freeze would be fatal to
the promise.
"We are willing to look at some of the elements we put forward in our platform and to say maybe another day."
NB Power has been conspicuously silent on what it plans to do with power rates going forward since Liberals first promised a freeze to voters in late August.
It has a longstanding plan to increase rates by two per cent per year or more to retire $1 billion in debt and cope with carbon taxes if they come.
In each of the last two years, the utility has submitted its annual rate application to the Energy and Utilities Board during the first week of October, but this year it has already let that date pass with no word of its intention.
Green Party Leader David Coon opposes the Liberal-promised power rate freeze. (CBC)
Coon said if NB Power is waiting to find out who will be governing the province before applying for new rates, it shouldn't.
"To me, they should be continuing on as required if they are looking for a change in power rates. They should go forward," he said
Coon is an unlikely white knight to come to the utility's defence.
He has a long history of opposing NB Power initiatives at regulatory hearings in his former role as executive director of the New Brunswick Conservation Council.
In the early 2000s, he fought the utility's ill-fated, $700-million conversion of the Coleson Cove oil-fired generating station to burn the Venezuelan fossil fuel orimulsion. He later battled executives over what proved to be optimistic plans to quickly and cheaply refurbish the Point Lepreau nuclear generating station.
David
Coon fought the conversion of Coleson Cove to burn orimulsion — one of
several battles the Green Leader waged against the utility. ((CBC))
Venezuela
eventually refused to deliver orimulsion after the Coleson Cove
conversion was complete and the nuclear refurbishment went three years
late and $1 billion over budget, all problems Coon predicted.
Still, Coon has long been an advocate of NB Power answering to a professional regulator like the Energy and Utilities Board and not to politicians, and he instantly opposed the idea of a rate freeze imposed by a political party on that principle.
Coon said if NB Power executives are grateful for the backing of an old foe against political meddling in its rates, they are not saying.
"I haven't heard from any of them yet," he said.
Elections NB has postponed the municipal byelections planned for Dec. 3 until May 6, 2019. (CBC)
Elections New Brunswick has pushed back byelections in more than a dozen municipalities as it faces the possibility of a snap provincial election.
Kim Poffenroth, New Brunswick's chief electoral officer, sent a notice following the Sept. 24 provincial election announcing votes set for Dec. 3 would instead be held May 6, 2019.
The tight election results, and ongoing jockey for power, means Elections NB must prepare to hold another provincial election.
"Elections
New Brunswick does not have the resources required, including trained
staff, warehouse space and technical support, to effectively and
simultaneously prepare for two large-scale elections," Poffenroth said
in a statement.

two large-scale elections. (Graham Thompson/CBC)
For cities like Saint John and Moncton, that means months with a single vacant seat. But in the Village of Aroostook, two vacant seats on the four-person means no quorum.
That leaves the village unable to carry out municipal business, such as passing a budget. The village did not return a request for comment.
The Union of Municipalities of New Brunswick condemned the decision to push back the byelections.
"The delay denies residents local representation and risks the ability of some municipal councils to operate," said Wayne Sturgeon, president of the union and Grand Manan councillor.
"We strongly disagree that local democracy should suffer as a result," Sturgeon stated. "Elections NB should not be in the position of choosing between levels of government."
Poffenroth was not available for an interview.
She said in a statement she's aware of the union's concerns and plans to meet with the group to explain her decision in more detail.
The provincial election caused vacancies in Saint John, Moncton, Shediac and Sackville.
In Moncton, Ward 3 Coun. Bryan Butler resigned from the city's social inclusion committee in part because the other ward councillor — Rob McKee — resigned from council after he was elected Moncton Centre MLA.

provincial legislature on Sept. 24. (Kate Letterick/CBC News )
"Elections
New Brunswick has decided they're not going to have a byelection until
next May so that would give me approximately 10 months in largest ward
by myself," Butler said at Monday's council meeting.
Butler said he's still concerned about social issues affecting the city.
In Tracadie and Sussex Corner, vacant council seats mean if one council member misses a meeting, the community government won't have quorum.
Sussex Corner faced a series of resignations and retirements earlier this year, with the acting mayor saying she looked forward to the fall byelection to help resolve the problems.

Irving Oil opposes new assessment criteria for Energy East pipeline
Irving said project will not influence greenhouse gas emissions
By Jacques Poitras, CBC News Posted: Jun 14, 2017 7:00 AM AT
"New transmission lines needed
NB Power said in its response to the NEB's request for comments that
there would need to be new transmission lines to power the pumping
stations.
Those lines would require a provincial Environmental Impact
Assessment, the utility said.
But it also said the NEB review's examination of electricity
generation "may impact matters of provincial jurisdiction in a more
than incidental fashion."
The Crown corporation said that's because the NEB may attach
conditions to the pipeline approval that would change the routing of
power lines already approved by provincial regulators.
The Conservation Council of New Brunswick said in its submission that
it supports the new NEB panel looking at upstream and downstream
emissions, marine traffic, and other issues it's considering adding as
new criteria."

Former public intervener asks to represent NB Power's residential ratepayers

Former public intervener asks to represent NB Power's residential ratepayers
Peter Hyslop gets support from P.E.I. consultant, who says residential
customers need voice at rate hearings
By Robert Jones, CBC News Posted: Jun 14, 2017 6:00 AM AT
Last Updated: Jun 14, 2017 9:32 AM AT
A former public intervener, Hartland lawyer Peter Hyslop is arguing
residential customers need to be represented by their own lawyer at
future rate hearings. (CBC)
With parties lining up to argue for higher residential electricity
bills at NB Power's upcoming rate design hearing, especially for
people who use electric heat, a former public intervener is arguing
residential customers need to be represented by their own lawyer — and
he is proposing himself for the job.
Hartland lawyer Peter Hyslop says the interests of residential
ratepayers need to be heard. (CBC)
"The interests of the residential rate payers, as a class, are
meritorious," Hartland lawyer Peter Hyslop wrote in a motion submitted
to the Energy and Utilities Board this week.
"It is necessary for the proper completion of the record in this
application that the interests of the residential rate class be
presented."
Year-long review
NB Power is in the middle of a year-long look at how it bills various
customers for electricity. The review could result in prices charged
by the utility changing dramatically.
Some of the most significant proposals are aimed at homeowners and
apartment dwellers, including higher than average rate increases for
that group, premium prices for electric heat and the possible adoption
of different rates at different times of the day, different days of
the week or different months of the year.
NB Power is undergoing a year-long review of how it bills various
customers for electricity. (Shane Fowler/CBC)
Companies that are already on record as favouring some of those ideas,
including Enbridge Gas New Brunswick and J.D. Irving Ltd. have their
own lawyers who will be presenting evidence and arguments in support
of their positions.
• Seasonal power rates could cause consumer backlash, says consultant
Enbridge has long argued electric heat prices are artificially low in
New Brunswick, making it more difficult for the company to attract
customers while J.D. Irving has expressed concern industrial rates are
too high, in part, because evidence has shown NB Power undercharges
homeowners.
'Advocate in the public interest'
Heather Black, the current public intervener, will be participating at
the hearing but she is not legally permitted to represent the
interests of any single group, including residential customers.
Instead she is exclusively required to "advocate in the public
interest," even if the public interest is not necessarily favourable
to homeowners.
Public intervener Heather Black says she isn't legally permitted to
represent the interests of any other single group. (CBC)
"Legislation prohibits me from representing or advocating on behalf of
a particular class of customers," Black wrote in a statement to CBC
News.
"My role is to assist the Board by submitting evidence and advancing
arguments that consider the broader public interest, which has many —
sometimes conflicting — components."
Residential consumers are NB Power's largest customer group,
accounting for 46 per cent of the utility's in-province sales and
Hyslop is arguing it needs aggressive and well-financed representation
to avoid unfair treatment.
Asks utility to pay costs
In an unusual manoeuvre that began two weeks ago, Hyslop's legal
assistant, Carolanne Power, applied to intervene in the rate design
hearing as a residential customer and then gave notice she would be
asking for Hyslop to represent her — and all other residential
customers — at NB Power's expense.
"She will be seeking an Order from the Board directing (NB Power) to
pay her costs for the intervention, including but not limited to legal
fees, professional advisors and all proper and necessary costs and
expenses related thereto," reads Power's application.
P.E.I. energy consultant Robert O'Rourke agrees the residential rate
class must be represented at hearings. (CBC)
Neither NB Power nor Hyslop would agree to an interview prior to their
motion being heard Thursday but have submitted partial arguments in
writing, including an affidavit from P.E.I. regulatory consultant
Robert O'Rourke.
"I am of the view that the residential rate class must be represented
in this matter to ensure that the proper evidence arguments and
submissions before this Board can be properly presented," says
O'Rourke's affadavit.
"In the absence of such evidence, representation and submissions I am
of the view that a significant impact may result on today's
residential rate class."
No response
NB Power did not immediately respond to questions about Hyslop's
request that it pay his bills, but the request, if granted, could cost
the utility hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The province has paid a number of private practice lawyers over the
years to intervene at Energy and Utilities Board hearings, and the
bill for expert and legal fees has never been less than $40,000 and
several times exceeded $500,000.
Hyslop served as public intervener at a number of NB Power hearings
more than a decade ago during the term of the Bernard Lord government.
The current rate design hearing is not scheduled until April 2018 but
there are several months of pre-hearing activities, including the
preparation of studies and expert evidence.

Date: 20151223
Docket: T-1557-15
Fredericton, New Brunswick, December 23, 2015
PRESENT: The Honourable Mr. Justice Bell
BETWEEN:
DAVID RAYMOND AMOS
Plaintiff
and
HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN
Defendant
ORDER
(Delivered orally from the Bench in Fredericton, New Brunswick, on
December 14, 2015)
The Plaintiff seeks an appeal de novo, by way of motion pursuant to
the Federal Courts Rules (SOR/98-106), from an Order made on November
12, 2015, in which Prothonotary Morneau struck the Statement of Claim
in its entirety.
At the outset of the hearing, the Plaintiff brought to my attention a
letter dated September 10, 2004, which he sent to me, in my then
capacity as Past President of the New Brunswick Branch of the Canadian
Bar Association, and the then President of the Branch, Kathleen Quigg,
(now a Justice of the New Brunswick Court of Appeal). In that letter
he stated:
As for your past President, Mr. Bell, may I suggest that you check the
work of Frank McKenna before I sue your entire law firm including you.
You are your brother’s keeper.
Frank McKenna is the former Premier of New Brunswick and a former
colleague of mine at the law firm of McInnes Cooper. In addition to
expressing an intention to sue me, the Plaintiff refers to a number of
people in his Motion Record who he appears to contend may be witnesses
or potential parties to be added. Those individuals who are known to
me personally, include, but are not limited to the former Prime
Minister of Canada, The Right Honourable Stephen Harper; former
Attorney General of Canada and now a Justice of the Manitoba Court of
Queen’s Bench, Vic Toews; former member of Parliament Rob Moore;
former Director of Policing Services, the late Grant Garneau; former
Chief of the Fredericton Police Force, Barry McKnight; former Staff
Sergeant Danny Copp; my former colleagues on the New Brunswick Court
of Appeal, Justices Bradley V. Green and Kathleen Quigg, and, retired
Assistant Commissioner Wayne Lang of the Royal Canadian Mounted
Police.
In the circumstances, given the threat in 2004 to sue me in my
personal capacity and my past and present relationship with many
potential witnesses and/or potential parties to the litigation, I am
of the view there would be a reasonable apprehension of bias should I
hear this motion. See Justice de Grandpré’s dissenting judgment in
Committee for Justice and Liberty et al v National Energy Board et al,
[1978] 1 SCR 369 at p 394 for the applicable test regarding
allegations of bias. In the circumstances, although neither party has
requested I recuse myself, I consider it appropriate that I do so.
AS A RESULT OF MY RECUSAL, THIS COURT ORDERS that the Administrator of
the Court schedule another date for the hearing of the motion. There
is no order as to costs.
“B. Richard Bell”
Judge

As your attachment sent today refers from Premier Graham, our position

As for your other concerns regarding the US Government, false

the US. These issues do not fall into the purvue of Detachment

Integrity commissioner calls for tougher conflict-of-interest law
N.B. legislation should apply to apparent conflicts, not just actual
ones, Alexandre Deschênes says
By Jacques Poitras, CBC News Posted: Jun 12, 2017 6:30 AM AT
Alexandre Deschênes's first act as commissioner was to deal with
Victor Boudreau's 20 per cent investment in Shediac Campground Ltd., a
proposed 700-site facility that has generated local opposition.
(Jacques Poitras/CBC)
New Brunswick's integrity commissioner says the conflict-of-interest
law for politicians should be toughened to clarify cases such as
cabinet minister Victor Boudreau's former investment in a proposed
campground near Parlee Beach.
Alexandre Deschênes said earlier this year that Boudreau's stake in
the project did not put him in a conflict of interest but that the
appearance of a conflict was "inevitable."
Unlike other conflict-of-interest laws, "our act does not apply to an
apparent conflict of interest," he said in an interview with CBC News.
"It's not in there."
Previous commissioners suggested law
Boudreau recused himself from Parlee Beach issues anyway, even though
he didn't technically have to. The law said ministers aren't in a
conflict if decisions that affect their private interests also apply
to the general public.

Victor Boudreau case shows 'huge loophole' in conflict law, ethics
group says
"Mr. Boudreau could have gone on and said, 'I'm the minister of health
and I'm going to make decisions that apply to the general public and
the act allows it,'" Deschênes said.
"If you'd had the words 'apparent conflict of interest' [in the law]
it would have been clear."
Deschênes pointed out two of his predecessors as conflict-of-interest
commissioner, Pat Ryan and Stuart Stratton, recommended expanding the
act to include the appearance of conflicts.
"It started out way back," he said. "We're looking at almost a decade
here where the suggestion has been made that apparent conflict of
interest ought to be included in the act. It's not been done.
"But as a commissioner, I will be following what they've been doing
and I will be recommending it when I file a report."
Updated conflict act
The Gallant Liberals passed amendments to update the Members Conflict
of Interest Act during the spring session of the legislature, but they
did not include a ban on perceived conflicts.
Progressive Conservative MLA Brian MacDonald has also called for the
Liberals to fix what he calls "a gap in the law."

Cabinet minister Victor Boudreau recused himself from the Parlee Beach
issues anyway, even though the law said ministers aren't in a conflict
if decisions that affect their private interests also apply to the
general public. (CBC)
Deschênes's first act as commissioner was to deal with Boudreau's 20
per cent investment in Shediac Campground Ltd., a proposed 700-site
facility that has generated local opposition.
As health minister, Boudreau oversees the public health offices, and
his department was part of a working group looking at how to deal with
fecal contamination at Parlee Beach. One option the group looked at
was a moratorium on new development near the beach.
That would have affected the proposed campground.
'I told him, and he made it public, that the appearance of
conflict in this case was absolutely inevitable. He couldn't get
around it. It was there.'
- Alexandre Deschênes
The law bans ministers from making decisions that affect their
"private interest," but it makes an exception if the decision applies
to the broader public, even if the minister would still benefit.
Deschênes said in his letter to Boudreau in March that "one could
argue" a decision on a moratorium would affect the broader public.
"Under the act, he might have been entitled to continue to have
discussions that applied to the general population, even though he was
part of [the project] at that point," Deschênes said in an interview
last week.
"I told him, and he made it public, that the appearance of conflict in
this case was absolutely inevitable. He couldn't get around it. It was
there."
An MP's perceived conflict matters
The federal conflict of interest code for MPs also includes an
exception for decisions that affect the general public, but it
includes an explicit reference to perceived conflicts.
Boudreau put his investment in a blind trust in 2014, which meant he
had no role in the running of the business. But the value of his stake
would have been affected by a moratorium on future development.
Parlee beach
In May, Victor Boudreau announced he was giving up his investment in
the campground on Parlee Beach altogether.
He said in March he learned of the potential moratorium Feb. 28 and
met with Deschênes March 2, the first date they could arrange it.
"That perception is the issue," Boudreau said at the time. "And if the
perception is the issue, and the perception is what's going to be
prevent us from getting to the bottom of it, then I'm prepared to
recuse myself from all activities relating to this committee."
Last month he announced that he was giving up his investment in the
campground altogether.
Deschênes said he believes most ministers and MLAs would do the same
thing if he told them there was an apparent, but not actual, conflict.
"In most cases I think they will listen and they will do what has to
be done to put an end to an apparent conflict of interest, although
technically they could continue to do what they want to do."

@William Roberts I tried the water of the political sewer once in 2006
while intervening in the NEB Emera Pipeline hearing and I got all of
44 votes in Saint John Harbour. Trust that I was not surprised. I
learned something long ago when my Father and his PC friends were
disgusted that the lawyer Trudeau "The Elder" was having fun falsely
claiming he said "Fuddle Duddle" on the Hill. In a nutshell it is that
nobody gives a damn just as long as our politicians appear to be cool
dudes. Nothing has changed since.

The selection of Dr. Louis Lapierre, recipient of the Order of Canada
whose Medal was revoked because because of his recognized lack of
needed competence which he falsified is a documented example of how
strong this influence and consequences of this mis-guided forest
management has destroyed the Fish and Wildlife habitat and populations
in New Brunswick. This design of forest management supported by
industry, impacts negatively on our Grand Children's heritage, forcing
them to leave their native province because of lack of work.

The Gallant government has introduced legislation to merge several
legislative watchdog positions into a single job and has chosen a
retired judge to take on the newly expanded role.
Alexandre Deschênes
Alexandre Deschênes, a retired New Brunswick Court of Appeal justice,
is to be the first integrity commissioner in New Brunswick.
Retired New Brunswick Court of Appeal justice Alexandre Deschênes will
become the province's first integrity commissioner, an appointment
supported by the opposition Progressive Conservatives and Green Party
Leader David Coon.
Premier Brian Gallant introduced a bill Wednesday to create the position.
For now, Deschênes fills the vacant position of conflict-of-interest
commissioner and will also oversee legislation governing the privacy
of personal health records.
Next July, Deschênes will add responsibility for the lobbyist registry
to his duties.
The Liberals say they will proclaim legislation to set up the registry
by next July. The law was passed by the previous PC government in 2014
but not enacted.
Conflict of interest commissioner, MLAs have conflicting views on
transparency
Commissioner wants mandatory privacy breach reporting
N.B. legislature will study cutting independent watchdogs
And next September, after Anne Bertrand, the information and privacy
commissioner, finishes her seven-year term, that job will become part
of Deschênes's job as integrity commissioner.
An independent study, done as part of the government's program
review, recommended the merging of the legislative officer positions.
All parties in the legislature agreed on two other appointments
Wednesday: lawyer Michèle Pelletier as consumer advocate for insurance

Judge-moving bill aims to help Dominic LeBlanc, Tory MLA charges
Kirk MacDonald says Liberals drafted bill to help put Jolène Richard
and André Richard on court
By Jacques Poitras, CBC News Posted: Nov 24, 2016 6:03 PM AT
A Progressive Conservative MLA has taken the unusual step of naming
names — including that of a sitting provincial court judge — in his
attack on a proposed law on how Court of Queen's Bench judges are
transferred.
Kirk MacDonald told the legislature last week that he believes the
government bill was drafted to help the spouse and the brother-in-law
of federal Liberal MP Dominic LeBlanc, a close ally of Premier Brian
Gallant.
nb-andre-richard-jolene-
A Progressive Conservative MLA believes the Liberal government's
judge-moving bill was drafted to help have André Richard and Jolène
Richard appointed to the Court of Queen's Bench. (CBC)
"I will give you two names. I will give you Jolène Richard and André
Richard, two people I believe are looking for judicial appointments
here in New Brunswick," MacDonald said during second-reading debate on
the bill.
In fact, Jolène Richard is already a provincial court judge. André
Richard is her brother and a senior lawyer at Stewart McKelvey.
Province names new judge, wife of MP Dominic LeBlanc
"Dominic LeBlanc has some judges that he wants to appoint in New
Brunswick, and the framework as it currently exists does not allow for
that to happen," MacDonald said.
André Richard stated Thursday he "had no involvement in the
government's decision to propose changes to the Judicature Act."
"As you know, my sister is already a judge who sits in Moncton. I fail
to understand why our names are being brought into this debate."
Bill gives veto to minister
The Liberal bill would amend the Judicature Act, which governs how
courts operate, to give the justice minister a veto over Chief Justice
David Smith of the Court of Queen's Bench transferring judges from one
court to another.
nb-chief-justice-david-smith
Court of Queen's Bench Chief Justice David Smith has transferred 13
judges since becoming chief justice in 1998. (Acadia University)
PC MLAs have hinted in the past about who they believe the bill was
designed to help. But until now, no one was willing to name them.
It's rare for politicians to draw sitting judges into partisan
debates, and the veteran Tory MLA did not offer any evidence to back
up his allegations. He turned down a request to explain his views in
an interview.
Parliamentary privilege
Parliamentary privilege protects members of the legislature from being
sued for defamation or held in contempt of court for comments they
make during proceedings. No such protection exists for things they say
outside the legislature.
Provincial court judges such as Richard are appointed by the province,
but Court of Queen's Bench justices are named by Ottawa. Both courts
are administered by the province, but the current law gives Smith the
power to move judges on his court on his own.
Smith has argued the bill would threaten the independence of the
courts, which could make it unconstitutional.
Bill brought back
The Liberals introduced the bill during the last session, but it
didn't pass before the session ended. They brought it back last week.
Justice Minister Denis Landry said last week the bill was designed to
bring "best practices" to court administration and end the pattern of
justices being named to smaller courthouses and then being transferred
soon after.
Judge-moving legislation introduced again
2 chief justices appear at odds over judge-moving bill
7 things list reveals about controversial judge-moving bill
"This is what we want to correct," he said. "If we name a judge, they
should reside there, for a long period of time, not just two or three
months then move them where they want to go."
Asked whether he'd veto such a transfer, Landry said, "This is what we'll
see."
Landry's department said Thursday it would not comment on MacDonald's
accusation.
Larger locations favoured
MacDonald said during last week's debate that it's true Court of
Queen's Bench justices are often appointed to smaller locations and
are then moved to one of the three largest cities.
Dominic LeBlanc
Federal Fisheries Minister Dominic LeBlanc is a close ally of New
Brunswick Premier Brian Gallant. (CBC)
He said that court postings in Moncton, Fredericton, and Saint John
are "The positions that everyone seems to want."
And he said the current system for moving judges, "which is controlled
by the chief justice, does not work for Dominic LeBlanc and the
Liberal Party of New Brunswick," MacDonald said.
Upside to judge-moving bill touted by ex-constitutional lawyer
Gallant government's judge-moving bill questioned by legal expert
"They want to change it. They want to have a situation where they have
a mechanism to control that decision and to effect change on that
decision."
In June, Smith transferred Justice Tracey DeWare from Woodstock to
Moncton and Justice Richard Petrie from Saint John to Woodstock.
DeWare was moved to fill a vacancy after Justice Brigitte Robichaud
switched to supernumerary, or part-time, status.
Jolène Richard did not respond to interview requests.

Little David Amos’ “True History Of War” Canadian Airstrikes And
Stupid Justin Trudeau
Canada’s and Canadians free ride is over. Canada can no longer hide
behind Amerka’s and NATO’s skirts.
When I was still in Canadian Forces then Prime Minister Jean Chretien
actually committed the Canadian Army to deploy in the second campaign
in Iraq, the Coalition of the Willing. This was against or contrary to
the wisdom or advice of those of us Canadian officers that were
involved in the initial planning phases of that operation. There were
significant concern in our planning cell, and NDHQ about of the dearth
of concern for operational guidance, direction, and forces for
operations after the initial occupation of Iraq. At the “last minute”
Prime Minister Chretien and the Liberal government changed its mind.
The Canadian government told our amerkan cousins that we would not
deploy combat troops for the Iraq campaign, but would deploy a
Canadian Battle Group to Afghanistan, enabling our amerkan cousins to
redeploy troops from there to Iraq. The PMO’s thinking that it was
less costly to deploy Canadian Forces to Afghanistan than Iraq. But
alas no one seems to remind the Liberals of Prime Minister Chretien’s
then grossly incorrect assumption. Notwithstanding Jean Chretien’s
incompetence and stupidity, the Canadian Army was heroic,
professional, punched well above it’s weight, and the PPCLI Battle
Group, is credited with “saving Afghanistan” during the Panjway
campaign of 2006.
What Justin Trudeau and the Liberals don’t tell you now, is that then
Liberal Prime Minister Jean Chretien committed, and deployed the
Canadian army to Canada’s longest “war” without the advice, consent,
support, or vote of the Canadian Parliament.
What David Amos and the rest of the ignorant, uneducated, and babbling
chattering classes are too addled to understand is the deployment of
less than 75 special operations troops, and what is known by planners
as a “six pac cell” of fighter aircraft is NOT the same as a
deployment of a Battle Group, nor a “war” make.
The Canadian Government or The Crown unlike our amerkan cousins have
the “constitutional authority” to commit the Canadian nation to war.
That has been recently clearly articulated to the Canadian public by
constitutional scholar Phillippe Legasse. What Parliament can do is
remove “confidence” in The Crown’s Government in a “vote of
non-confidence.” That could not happen to the Chretien Government
regarding deployment to Afghanistan, and it won’t happen in this
instance with the conservative majority in The Commons regarding a
limited Canadian deployment to the Middle East.
President George Bush was quite correct after 911 and the terror
attacks in New York; that the Taliban “occupied” and “failed state”
Afghanistan was the source of logistical support, command and control,
and training for the Al Quaeda war of terror against the world. The
initial defeat, and removal from control of Afghanistan was vital and
essential for the security and tranquility of the developed world. An
ISIS “caliphate,” in the Middle East, no matter how small, is a clear
and present danger to the entire world. This “occupied state,”
or“failed state” will prosecute an unending Islamic inspired war of
terror against not only the “western world,” but Arab states
“moderate” or not, as well. The security, safety, and tranquility of
Canada and Canadians are just at risk now with the emergence of an
ISIS“caliphate” no matter how large or small, as it was with the
Taliban and Al Quaeda “marriage” in Afghanistan.
One of the everlasting “legacies” of the “Trudeau the Elder’s dynasty
was Canada and successive Liberal governments cowering behind the
amerkan’s nuclear and conventional military shield, at the same time
denigrating, insulting them, opposing them, and at the same time
self-aggrandizing ourselves as “peace keepers,” and progenitors of
“world peace.” Canada failed. The United States of Amerka, NATO, the
G7 and or G20 will no longer permit that sort of sanctimonious
behavior from Canada or its government any longer. And Prime Minister
Stephen Harper, Foreign Minister John Baird , and Cabinet are fully
cognizant of that reality. Even if some editorial boards, and pundits
are not.
Justin, Trudeau “the younger” is reprising the time “honoured” liberal
mantra, and tradition of expecting the amerkans or the rest of the
world to do “the heavy lifting.” Justin Trudeau and his “butt buddy”
David Amos are telling Canadians that we can guarantee our security
and safety by expecting other nations to fight for us. That Canada can
and should attempt to guarantee Canadians safety by providing
“humanitarian aid” somewhere, and call a sitting US president a “war
criminal.” This morning Australia announced they too, were sending
tactical aircraft to eliminate the menace of an ISIS “caliphate.”
In one sense Prime Minister Harper is every bit the scoundrel Trudeau
“the elder” and Jean ‘the crook” Chretien was. Just As Trudeau, and
successive Liberal governments delighted in diminishing,
marginalizing, under funding Canadian Forces, and sending Canadian
military men and women to die with inadequate kit and modern
equipment; so too is Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Canada’s F-18s are
antiquated, poorly equipped, and ought to have been replaced five
years ago. But alas, there won’t be single RCAF fighter jock that
won’t go, or won’t want to go, to make Canada safe or safer.
My Grandfather served this country. My father served this country. My
Uncle served this country. And I have served this country. Justin
Trudeau has not served Canada in any way. Thomas Mulcair has not
served this country in any way. Liberals and so called social
democrats haven’t served this country in any way. David Amos, and
other drooling fools have not served this great nation in any way. Yet
these fools are more than prepared to ensure their, our safety to
other nations, and then criticize them for doing so.
Canada must again, now, “do our bit” to guarantee our own security,
and tranquility, but also that of the world. Canada has never before
shirked its responsibility to its citizens and that of the world.
Prime Minister Harper will not permit this country to do so now

I talked to Don Newman earlier this week before the beancounters David
Dodge and Don Drummond now of Queen's gave their spin about Canada's
Health Care system yesterday and Sheila Fraser yapped on and on on
CAPAC during her last days in office as if she were oh so ethical.. To
be fair to him I just called Greg Weston (613-288-6938) I suggested
that he should at least Google SOUCOM and David Amos It would be wise
if he check ALL of CBC's sources before he publishes something else
about the DND EH Don Newman? Lets just say that the fact that your
old CBC buddy, Tony Burman is now in charge of Al Jazeera English
never impressed me. The fact that he set up a Canadian office is
interesting though

"But Lang, defence minister McCallum's chief of staff, says military
brass were not entirely forthcoming on the issue. For instance, he
says, even McCallum initially didn't know those soldiers were helping
to plan the invasion of Iraq up to the highest levels of command,
including a Canadian general.
That general is Walt Natynczyk, now Canada's chief of defence staff,
who eight months after the invasion became deputy commander of 35,000
U.S. soldiers and other allied forces in Iraq. Lang says Natynczyk was
also part of the team of mainly senior U.S. military brass that helped
prepare for the invasion from a mobile command in Kuwait."

"I remember years ago when the debate was on in Canada, about there
being weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Our American 'friends"
demanded that Canada join into "the Coalition of the Willing. American
"veterans" and sportscasters loudly denounced Canada for NOT buying
into the US policy.
At the time I was serving as a planner at NDHQ and with 24 other of my
colleagues we went to Tampa SOUCOM HQ to be involved in the planning
in the planning stages of the op....and to report to NDHQ, that would
report to the PMO upon the merits of the proposed operation. There was
never at anytime an existing target list of verified sites where there
were deployed WMD.
Coalition assets were more than sufficient for the initial strike and
invasion phase but even at that point in the planning, we were
concerned about the number of "boots on the ground" for the occupation
(and end game) stage of an operation in Iraq. We were also concerned
about the American plans for occupation plans of Iraq because they at
that stage included no contingency for a handing over of civil
authority to a vetted Iraqi government and bureaucracy.
There was no detailed plan for Iraq being "liberated" and returned to
its people...nor a thought to an eventual exit plan. This was contrary
to the lessons of Vietnam but also to current military thought, that
folks like Colin Powell and "Stuffy" Leighton and others elucidated
upon. "What's the mission" how long is the mission, what conditions
are to met before US troop can redeploy? Prime Minister Jean Chretien
and the PMO were even at the very preliminary planning stages wary of
Canadian involvement in an Iraq operation....History would prove them
correct. The political pressure being applied on the PMO from the
George W Bush administration was onerous
American military assets were extremely overstretched, and Canadian
military assets even more so It was proposed by the PMO that Canadian
naval platforms would deploy to assist in naval quarantine operations
in the Gulf and that Canadian army assets would deploy in Afghanistan
thus permitting US army assets to redeploy for an Iraqi
operation....The PMO thought that "compromise would save Canadian
lives and liberal political capital.. and the priority of which
....not necessarily in that order. "
You can bet that I called these sneaky Yankees again today EH John
Adams? of the CSE within the DND?

The downside of the promise to freeze NB Power rates
Former public intervenor Peter Hyslop calls the Liberal promise to
freeze power rates blatant interference, and a sad return to the days
when political parties used NB Power as a vote-getting operation.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/nb-power-rates-gallant-liberal-weather-1.4802946
Liberals promise 4-year freeze on NB Power rates for homeowners, small businesses
PC leader says one way or another, New Brunswickers will pay for a rate freeze
A Liberal promise to freeze power rates for residential customers and small businesses drew sharp criticism from opposition parties Wednesday.
Liberal Brian Gallant said the party would introduce legislation to freeze rates for some customers over the next four years and force NB Power to cut jobs and spending.
"Many people's power bills are going up faster than their wages," Gallant said during a campaign announcement on the lawn of a private home in Moncton.
NB Power spokeswoman Sheila Lagacé said the utility won't be commenting "as this is an election campaign promise."
Leaders call move 'irresponsible'
David Coon, leader of the Green Party, and NDP Leader Jennifer McKenzie both called the Liberal plan an "irresponsible" move.
"We have a regulatory process that's designed to ensure that any rate increase proposals are properly vetted and if they're not warranted, they're turned down," Coon said, referring to the Energy and Utilities Board.
McKenzie called it a "dangerous path" the Liberals have proposed and suggested a better approach would be focusing on developing renewable energy.
Blaine Higgs, the Progressive Conservative leader, said "putting a political hand-cuff" around the utility will make its financial situation less secure.
(not specified)
Liberals promise to freeze power rates
Gallant promised to freeze NB Power rates if re-elected. He said "enough is enough." 0:56
NB Power forecasts a two per cent rate increase each year as it seeks to pay down its $4.8 billion debt. The utility recorded a profit of $23 million in the last fiscal year.
People's Alliance Leader Kris Austin said in an emailed statement that the Liberal announcement "is an encouraging idea." But he said the financial strain of increasing power bills isn't new.
'A small relief'
"We question as to why only during an election cycle does the Gallant government offer a small relief, after four years of tax increases that have many at the breaking point," Austin said. "Seeing as this promise is coming from the Liberals, is this a promise the people can really trust?"
Annual increases of two per cent per year would cost residential and small businesses more than $13 million a year over the next four years, said Gallant.
The freeze would also apply for municipal utilities on electricity purchased from NB Power for either residential or small business customers.
Asked what would happen if NB Power shifted the rate increase to industrial customers, Gallant said the utility would have to make up the $13 million difference through "efficiencies" in measures the party has proposed.
'Mandate' savings
"We will mandate them to find the $13 million and we will have a discussion with the measures we'll put in place, and we hope they'll come with their own ideas," Gallant said. "With the measures we put in place, we believe we can find the $13 million, but even more than that."
He said the legislation will include an "incentive" for NB Power to cut costs so rate increases aren't required.
"Call it a stick, if you will, but we're going to make it real clear that they're going to have to reduce power rates and that's going to be the case for four years," he said.
Liberals say there will be no freeze on wholesale power rates, but that government will "work with" municipal utilities to ensure residential and commercial business rate freeze extends to SJ and Edmundston. Haven't said whether that means subsidies or some other mechanism.
The freeze will apply for municipal utilities on the portion of power they purchase from NB Power that is for either residential or small business customers.
No 'weather tax'
A Liberal government would also reduce the size of management at NB Power by 30 per cent and would require a review of senior salaries. It would also set a "cap" on administrative expenses as a percentage of overall expenses.
The Liberals would also prevent NB Power from introducing any kind of "weather tax" to help pay for extreme weather events, he said.
The 2017 ice storm cost NB Power about $30 million.
Voters head to the polls on Sept. 24.

NB Power could escape Liberal-promised rate freeze thanks to unlikely source
Green Leader David Coon has long history of battling NB Power initiatives
The likelihood of NB Power having its rates frozen for the next four years appears to have dimmed to near zero given the uncertainty over who will govern the province — even if New Brunswick Liberals manage to retain power — and the utility can thank its old nemesis, Green Party leader David Coon, for the reprieve.
"It's a non-starter," Coon said Thursday about the signature Liberal campaign promise to bypass the Energy and Utilities Board and impose up to $300 million in rate freezes on the financially challenged utility over the next four years.
Premier Brian Gallant has said he will seek to find "common ground" with Green Party MLAs in an upcoming throne speech to win enough support to keep governing — a condition the freeze does not meet.
No Liberal election promise attracted more scorn from Coon during the campaign than the proposed rate freeze, a position he has not budged on since.
Gallant has not said the freeze is dead, but on Thursday sounded like he might be laying the groundwork for its funeral.
"We are willing to look at some of the elements we put forward in our platform and to say maybe another day."
'They should go forward'
NB Power has been conspicuously silent on what it plans to do with power rates going forward since Liberals first promised a freeze to voters in late August.
It has a longstanding plan to increase rates by two per cent per year or more to retire $1 billion in debt and cope with carbon taxes if they come.
In each of the last two years, the utility has submitted its annual rate application to the Energy and Utilities Board during the first week of October, but this year it has already let that date pass with no word of its intention.
"To me, they should be continuing on as required if they are looking for a change in power rates. They should go forward," he said
Coon's history with NB Power
Coon is an unlikely white knight to come to the utility's defence.
He has a long history of opposing NB Power initiatives at regulatory hearings in his former role as executive director of the New Brunswick Conservation Council.
In the early 2000s, he fought the utility's ill-fated, $700-million conversion of the Coleson Cove oil-fired generating station to burn the Venezuelan fossil fuel orimulsion. He later battled executives over what proved to be optimistic plans to quickly and cheaply refurbish the Point Lepreau nuclear generating station.
Still, Coon has long been an advocate of NB Power answering to a professional regulator like the Energy and Utilities Board and not to politicians, and he instantly opposed the idea of a rate freeze imposed by a political party on that principle.
Coon said if NB Power executives are grateful for the backing of an old foe against political meddling in its rates, they are not saying.
"I haven't heard from any of them yet," he said.

Local democracy will 'suffer' after byelections delayed, municipalities group says
Elections NB pushed votes back to prepare for another potential provincial election
Elections New Brunswick has pushed back byelections in more than a dozen municipalities as it faces the possibility of a snap provincial election.
Kim Poffenroth, New Brunswick's chief electoral officer, sent a notice following the Sept. 24 provincial election announcing votes set for Dec. 3 would instead be held May 6, 2019.
The tight election results, and ongoing jockey for power, means Elections NB must prepare to hold another provincial election.
That leaves the village unable to carry out municipal business, such as passing a budget. The village did not return a request for comment.
Decision condemned
The Union of Municipalities of New Brunswick condemned the decision to push back the byelections.
"The delay denies residents local representation and risks the ability of some municipal councils to operate," said Wayne Sturgeon, president of the union and Grand Manan councillor.
"We strongly disagree that local democracy should suffer as a result," Sturgeon stated. "Elections NB should not be in the position of choosing between levels of government."
Aware of concerns
Poffenroth was not available for an interview.
She said in a statement she's aware of the union's concerns and plans to meet with the group to explain her decision in more detail.
The provincial election caused vacancies in Saint John, Moncton, Shediac and Sackville.
In Moncton, Ward 3 Coun. Bryan Butler resigned from the city's social inclusion committee in part because the other ward councillor — Rob McKee — resigned from council after he was elected Moncton Centre MLA.
Butler said he's still concerned about social issues affecting the city.
In Tracadie and Sussex Corner, vacant council seats mean if one council member misses a meeting, the community government won't have quorum.
Sussex Corner faced a series of resignations and retirements earlier this year, with the acting mayor saying she looked forward to the fall byelection to help resolve the problems.
Open seats
The Union of Municipalities of New Brunswick has compiled a list of council vacancies:
| Alma: One of four council seats | Aroostook: Two of four |
| Beaubassin East: Two of 10 seats | Dalhousie: One of seven |
| Florenceville-Bristol: One of seven | Hartland: One of seven |
| Lac Baker: One of five | Minto: One of five |
| Nackawic: One of six | Rexton: One of five |
| Rivière-Verte: One of five | Sackville: One of nine |
| Saint Andrews: One of seven | St. George: One of seven |
| Salisbury: One of six | Sussex Corner: Two of six |
| Tracadie: Four of 11 |

Irving Oil opposes new assessment criteria for Energy East pipeline
Irving said project will not influence greenhouse gas emissions
By Jacques Poitras, CBC News Posted: Jun 14, 2017 7:00 AM AT
"New transmission lines needed
NB Power said in its response to the NEB's request for comments that
there would need to be new transmission lines to power the pumping
stations.
Those lines would require a provincial Environmental Impact
Assessment, the utility said.
But it also said the NEB review's examination of electricity
generation "may impact matters of provincial jurisdiction in a more
than incidental fashion."
The Crown corporation said that's because the NEB may attach
conditions to the pipeline approval that would change the routing of
power lines already approved by provincial regulators.
The Conservation Council of New Brunswick said in its submission that
it supports the new NEB panel looking at upstream and downstream
emissions, marine traffic, and other issues it's considering adding as
new criteria."

Former public intervener asks to represent NB Power's residential ratepayers

Former public intervener asks to represent NB Power's residential ratepayers
Peter Hyslop gets support from P.E.I. consultant, who says residential
customers need voice at rate hearings
By Robert Jones, CBC News Posted: Jun 14, 2017 6:00 AM AT
Last Updated: Jun 14, 2017 9:32 AM AT
A former public intervener, Hartland lawyer Peter Hyslop is arguing
residential customers need to be represented by their own lawyer at
future rate hearings. (CBC)
With parties lining up to argue for higher residential electricity
bills at NB Power's upcoming rate design hearing, especially for
people who use electric heat, a former public intervener is arguing
residential customers need to be represented by their own lawyer — and
he is proposing himself for the job.
Hartland lawyer Peter Hyslop says the interests of residential
ratepayers need to be heard. (CBC)
"The interests of the residential rate payers, as a class, are
meritorious," Hartland lawyer Peter Hyslop wrote in a motion submitted
to the Energy and Utilities Board this week.
"It is necessary for the proper completion of the record in this
application that the interests of the residential rate class be
presented."
Year-long review
NB Power is in the middle of a year-long look at how it bills various
customers for electricity. The review could result in prices charged
by the utility changing dramatically.
Some of the most significant proposals are aimed at homeowners and
apartment dwellers, including higher than average rate increases for
that group, premium prices for electric heat and the possible adoption
of different rates at different times of the day, different days of
the week or different months of the year.
NB Power is undergoing a year-long review of how it bills various
customers for electricity. (Shane Fowler/CBC)
Companies that are already on record as favouring some of those ideas,
including Enbridge Gas New Brunswick and J.D. Irving Ltd. have their
own lawyers who will be presenting evidence and arguments in support
of their positions.
• Seasonal power rates could cause consumer backlash, says consultant
Enbridge has long argued electric heat prices are artificially low in
New Brunswick, making it more difficult for the company to attract
customers while J.D. Irving has expressed concern industrial rates are
too high, in part, because evidence has shown NB Power undercharges
homeowners.
'Advocate in the public interest'
Heather Black, the current public intervener, will be participating at
the hearing but she is not legally permitted to represent the
interests of any single group, including residential customers.
Instead she is exclusively required to "advocate in the public
interest," even if the public interest is not necessarily favourable
to homeowners.
Public intervener Heather Black says she isn't legally permitted to
represent the interests of any other single group. (CBC)
"Legislation prohibits me from representing or advocating on behalf of
a particular class of customers," Black wrote in a statement to CBC
News.
"My role is to assist the Board by submitting evidence and advancing
arguments that consider the broader public interest, which has many —
sometimes conflicting — components."
Residential consumers are NB Power's largest customer group,
accounting for 46 per cent of the utility's in-province sales and
Hyslop is arguing it needs aggressive and well-financed representation
to avoid unfair treatment.
Asks utility to pay costs
In an unusual manoeuvre that began two weeks ago, Hyslop's legal
assistant, Carolanne Power, applied to intervene in the rate design
hearing as a residential customer and then gave notice she would be
asking for Hyslop to represent her — and all other residential
customers — at NB Power's expense.
"She will be seeking an Order from the Board directing (NB Power) to
pay her costs for the intervention, including but not limited to legal
fees, professional advisors and all proper and necessary costs and
expenses related thereto," reads Power's application.
P.E.I. energy consultant Robert O'Rourke agrees the residential rate
class must be represented at hearings. (CBC)
Neither NB Power nor Hyslop would agree to an interview prior to their
motion being heard Thursday but have submitted partial arguments in
writing, including an affidavit from P.E.I. regulatory consultant
Robert O'Rourke.
"I am of the view that the residential rate class must be represented
in this matter to ensure that the proper evidence arguments and
submissions before this Board can be properly presented," says
O'Rourke's affadavit.
"In the absence of such evidence, representation and submissions I am
of the view that a significant impact may result on today's
residential rate class."
No response
NB Power did not immediately respond to questions about Hyslop's
request that it pay his bills, but the request, if granted, could cost
the utility hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The province has paid a number of private practice lawyers over the
years to intervene at Energy and Utilities Board hearings, and the
bill for expert and legal fees has never been less than $40,000 and
several times exceeded $500,000.
Hyslop served as public intervener at a number of NB Power hearings
more than a decade ago during the term of the Bernard Lord government.
The current rate design hearing is not scheduled until April 2018 but
there are several months of pre-hearing activities, including the
preparation of studies and expert evidence.

Date: 20151223
Docket: T-1557-15
Fredericton, New Brunswick, December 23, 2015
PRESENT: The Honourable Mr. Justice Bell
BETWEEN:
DAVID RAYMOND AMOS
Plaintiff
and
HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN
Defendant
ORDER
(Delivered orally from the Bench in Fredericton, New Brunswick, on
December 14, 2015)
The Plaintiff seeks an appeal de novo, by way of motion pursuant to
the Federal Courts Rules (SOR/98-106), from an Order made on November
12, 2015, in which Prothonotary Morneau struck the Statement of Claim
in its entirety.
At the outset of the hearing, the Plaintiff brought to my attention a
letter dated September 10, 2004, which he sent to me, in my then
capacity as Past President of the New Brunswick Branch of the Canadian
Bar Association, and the then President of the Branch, Kathleen Quigg,
(now a Justice of the New Brunswick Court of Appeal). In that letter
he stated:
As for your past President, Mr. Bell, may I suggest that you check the
work of Frank McKenna before I sue your entire law firm including you.
You are your brother’s keeper.
Frank McKenna is the former Premier of New Brunswick and a former
colleague of mine at the law firm of McInnes Cooper. In addition to
expressing an intention to sue me, the Plaintiff refers to a number of
people in his Motion Record who he appears to contend may be witnesses
or potential parties to be added. Those individuals who are known to
me personally, include, but are not limited to the former Prime
Minister of Canada, The Right Honourable Stephen Harper; former
Attorney General of Canada and now a Justice of the Manitoba Court of
Queen’s Bench, Vic Toews; former member of Parliament Rob Moore;
former Director of Policing Services, the late Grant Garneau; former
Chief of the Fredericton Police Force, Barry McKnight; former Staff
Sergeant Danny Copp; my former colleagues on the New Brunswick Court
of Appeal, Justices Bradley V. Green and Kathleen Quigg, and, retired
Assistant Commissioner Wayne Lang of the Royal Canadian Mounted
Police.
In the circumstances, given the threat in 2004 to sue me in my
personal capacity and my past and present relationship with many
potential witnesses and/or potential parties to the litigation, I am
of the view there would be a reasonable apprehension of bias should I
hear this motion. See Justice de Grandpré’s dissenting judgment in
Committee for Justice and Liberty et al v National Energy Board et al,
[1978] 1 SCR 369 at p 394 for the applicable test regarding
allegations of bias. In the circumstances, although neither party has
requested I recuse myself, I consider it appropriate that I do so.
AS A RESULT OF MY RECUSAL, THIS COURT ORDERS that the Administrator of
the Court schedule another date for the hearing of the motion. There
is no order as to costs.
“B. Richard Bell”
Judge

already) you will find the text of just two of many emails I had sent

the US. These issues do not fall into the purvue of Detachment

Integrity commissioner calls for tougher conflict-of-interest law
N.B. legislation should apply to apparent conflicts, not just actual
ones, Alexandre Deschênes says
By Jacques Poitras, CBC News Posted: Jun 12, 2017 6:30 AM AT
Alexandre Deschênes's first act as commissioner was to deal with
Victor Boudreau's 20 per cent investment in Shediac Campground Ltd., a
proposed 700-site facility that has generated local opposition.
(Jacques Poitras/CBC)
New Brunswick's integrity commissioner says the conflict-of-interest
law for politicians should be toughened to clarify cases such as
cabinet minister Victor Boudreau's former investment in a proposed
campground near Parlee Beach.
Alexandre Deschênes said earlier this year that Boudreau's stake in
the project did not put him in a conflict of interest but that the
appearance of a conflict was "inevitable."
Unlike other conflict-of-interest laws, "our act does not apply to an
apparent conflict of interest," he said in an interview with CBC News.
"It's not in there."
Previous commissioners suggested law
Boudreau recused himself from Parlee Beach issues anyway, even though
he didn't technically have to. The law said ministers aren't in a
conflict if decisions that affect their private interests also apply
to the general public.

Victor Boudreau case shows 'huge loophole' in conflict law, ethics
group says
"Mr. Boudreau could have gone on and said, 'I'm the minister of health
and I'm going to make decisions that apply to the general public and
the act allows it,'" Deschênes said.
"If you'd had the words 'apparent conflict of interest' [in the law]
it would have been clear."
Deschênes pointed out two of his predecessors as conflict-of-interest
commissioner, Pat Ryan and Stuart Stratton, recommended expanding the
act to include the appearance of conflicts.
"It started out way back," he said. "We're looking at almost a decade
here where the suggestion has been made that apparent conflict of
interest ought to be included in the act. It's not been done.
"But as a commissioner, I will be following what they've been doing
and I will be recommending it when I file a report."
Updated conflict act
The Gallant Liberals passed amendments to update the Members Conflict
of Interest Act during the spring session of the legislature, but they
did not include a ban on perceived conflicts.
Progressive Conservative MLA Brian MacDonald has also called for the
Liberals to fix what he calls "a gap in the law."

include the Right to Information and Protection of Privacy Act.

Cabinet minister Victor Boudreau recused himself from the Parlee Beach
issues anyway, even though the law said ministers aren't in a conflict
if decisions that affect their private interests also apply to the
general public. (CBC)
Deschênes's first act as commissioner was to deal with Boudreau's 20
per cent investment in Shediac Campground Ltd., a proposed 700-site
facility that has generated local opposition.
As health minister, Boudreau oversees the public health offices, and
his department was part of a working group looking at how to deal with
fecal contamination at Parlee Beach. One option the group looked at
was a moratorium on new development near the beach.
That would have affected the proposed campground.
'I told him, and he made it public, that the appearance of
conflict in this case was absolutely inevitable. He couldn't get
around it. It was there.'
- Alexandre Deschênes
The law bans ministers from making decisions that affect their
"private interest," but it makes an exception if the decision applies
to the broader public, even if the minister would still benefit.
Deschênes said in his letter to Boudreau in March that "one could
argue" a decision on a moratorium would affect the broader public.
"Under the act, he might have been entitled to continue to have
discussions that applied to the general population, even though he was
part of [the project] at that point," Deschênes said in an interview
last week.
"I told him, and he made it public, that the appearance of conflict in
this case was absolutely inevitable. He couldn't get around it. It was
there."
An MP's perceived conflict matters
The federal conflict of interest code for MPs also includes an
exception for decisions that affect the general public, but it
includes an explicit reference to perceived conflicts.
Boudreau put his investment in a blind trust in 2014, which meant he
had no role in the running of the business. But the value of his stake
would have been affected by a moratorium on future development.
Parlee beach
In May, Victor Boudreau announced he was giving up his investment in
the campground on Parlee Beach altogether.
He said in March he learned of the potential moratorium Feb. 28 and
met with Deschênes March 2, the first date they could arrange it.
"That perception is the issue," Boudreau said at the time. "And if the
perception is the issue, and the perception is what's going to be
prevent us from getting to the bottom of it, then I'm prepared to
recuse myself from all activities relating to this committee."
Last month he announced that he was giving up his investment in the
campground altogether.
Deschênes said he believes most ministers and MLAs would do the same
thing if he told them there was an apparent, but not actual, conflict.
"In most cases I think they will listen and they will do what has to
be done to put an end to an apparent conflict of interest, although
technically they could continue to do what they want to do."

Past two days Parlee Beach had "No Swimming Advisory" and today as
well. I wonder if Boudreau would have gave up his investment under the
old water advisory system that he defended...Victor Boudreau dismisses
call for Parlee Beach sign improvements. The health minister said
people can "use their own judgement" on whether they want to go into
the water.

while intervening in the NEB Emera Pipeline hearing and I got all of

learned something long ago when my Father and his PC friends were
disgusted that the lawyer Trudeau "The Elder" was having fun falsely
claiming he said "Fuddle Duddle" on the Hill. In a nutshell it is that
nobody gives a damn just as long as our politicians appear to be cool
dudes. Nothing has changed since.

strong this influence and consequences of this mis-guided forest

in New Brunswick. This design of forest management supported by
industry, impacts negatively on our Grand Children's heritage, forcing

The Gallant government has introduced legislation to merge several
legislative watchdog positions into a single job and has chosen a
retired judge to take on the newly expanded role.
Alexandre Deschênes
Alexandre Deschênes, a retired New Brunswick Court of Appeal justice,
is to be the first integrity commissioner in New Brunswick.
Retired New Brunswick Court of Appeal justice Alexandre Deschênes will
become the province's first integrity commissioner, an appointment
supported by the opposition Progressive Conservatives and Green Party
Leader David Coon.
Premier Brian Gallant introduced a bill Wednesday to create the position.
For now, Deschênes fills the vacant position of conflict-of-interest
commissioner and will also oversee legislation governing the privacy
of personal health records.
Next July, Deschênes will add responsibility for the lobbyist registry
to his duties.
The Liberals say they will proclaim legislation to set up the registry
by next July. The law was passed by the previous PC government in 2014
but not enacted.
Conflict of interest commissioner, MLAs have conflicting views on
transparency
Commissioner wants mandatory privacy breach reporting
N.B. legislature will study cutting independent watchdogs
And next September, after Anne Bertrand, the information and privacy
commissioner, finishes her seven-year term, that job will become part
of Deschênes's job as integrity commissioner.
An independent study, done as part of the government's program
review, recommended the merging of the legislative officer positions.
All parties in the legislature agreed on two other appointments
Wednesday: lawyer Michèle Pelletier as consumer advocate for insurance
and assistant deputy attorney general Kim Poffenroth as chief
electoral officer.J

Judge-moving bill aims to help Dominic LeBlanc, Tory MLA charges
Kirk MacDonald says Liberals drafted bill to help put Jolène Richard
and André Richard on court
By Jacques Poitras, CBC News Posted: Nov 24, 2016 6:03 PM AT
A Progressive Conservative MLA has taken the unusual step of naming
names — including that of a sitting provincial court judge — in his
attack on a proposed law on how Court of Queen's Bench judges are
transferred.
Kirk MacDonald told the legislature last week that he believes the
government bill was drafted to help the spouse and the brother-in-law
of federal Liberal MP Dominic LeBlanc, a close ally of Premier Brian
Gallant.
nb-andre-richard-jolene-
A Progressive Conservative MLA believes the Liberal government's
judge-moving bill was drafted to help have André Richard and Jolène
Richard appointed to the Court of Queen's Bench. (CBC)
"I will give you two names. I will give you Jolène Richard and André
Richard, two people I believe are looking for judicial appointments
here in New Brunswick," MacDonald said during second-reading debate on
the bill.
In fact, Jolène Richard is already a provincial court judge. André
Richard is her brother and a senior lawyer at Stewart McKelvey.
Province names new judge, wife of MP Dominic LeBlanc
"Dominic LeBlanc has some judges that he wants to appoint in New
Brunswick, and the framework as it currently exists does not allow for
that to happen," MacDonald said.
André Richard stated Thursday he "had no involvement in the
government's decision to propose changes to the Judicature Act."
"As you know, my sister is already a judge who sits in Moncton. I fail
to understand why our names are being brought into this debate."
Bill gives veto to minister
The Liberal bill would amend the Judicature Act, which governs how
courts operate, to give the justice minister a veto over Chief Justice
David Smith of the Court of Queen's Bench transferring judges from one
court to another.
nb-chief-justice-david-smith
Court of Queen's Bench Chief Justice David Smith has transferred 13
judges since becoming chief justice in 1998. (Acadia University)
PC MLAs have hinted in the past about who they believe the bill was
designed to help. But until now, no one was willing to name them.
It's rare for politicians to draw sitting judges into partisan
debates, and the veteran Tory MLA did not offer any evidence to back
up his allegations. He turned down a request to explain his views in
an interview.
Parliamentary privilege
Parliamentary privilege protects members of the legislature from being
sued for defamation or held in contempt of court for comments they
make during proceedings. No such protection exists for things they say
outside the legislature.
Provincial court judges such as Richard are appointed by the province,
but Court of Queen's Bench justices are named by Ottawa. Both courts
are administered by the province, but the current law gives Smith the
power to move judges on his court on his own.
Smith has argued the bill would threaten the independence of the
courts, which could make it unconstitutional.
Bill brought back
The Liberals introduced the bill during the last session, but it
didn't pass before the session ended. They brought it back last week.
Justice Minister Denis Landry said last week the bill was designed to
bring "best practices" to court administration and end the pattern of
justices being named to smaller courthouses and then being transferred
soon after.
Judge-moving legislation introduced again
2 chief justices appear at odds over judge-moving bill
7 things list reveals about controversial judge-moving bill
"This is what we want to correct," he said. "If we name a judge, they
should reside there, for a long period of time, not just two or three
months then move them where they want to go."
Asked whether he'd veto such a transfer, Landry said, "This is what we'll
see."
Landry's department said Thursday it would not comment on MacDonald's
accusation.
Larger locations favoured
MacDonald said during last week's debate that it's true Court of
Queen's Bench justices are often appointed to smaller locations and
are then moved to one of the three largest cities.
Dominic LeBlanc
Federal Fisheries Minister Dominic LeBlanc is a close ally of New
Brunswick Premier Brian Gallant. (CBC)
He said that court postings in Moncton, Fredericton, and Saint John
are "The positions that everyone seems to want."
And he said the current system for moving judges, "which is controlled
by the chief justice, does not work for Dominic LeBlanc and the
Liberal Party of New Brunswick," MacDonald said.
Upside to judge-moving bill touted by ex-constitutional lawyer
Gallant government's judge-moving bill questioned by legal expert
"They want to change it. They want to have a situation where they have
a mechanism to control that decision and to effect change on that
decision."
In June, Smith transferred Justice Tracey DeWare from Woodstock to
Moncton and Justice Richard Petrie from Saint John to Woodstock.
DeWare was moved to fill a vacancy after Justice Brigitte Robichaud
switched to supernumerary, or part-time, status.
Jolène Richard did not respond to interview requests.

Little David Amos’ “True History Of War” Canadian Airstrikes And
Stupid Justin Trudeau
Canada’s and Canadians free ride is over. Canada can no longer hide
behind Amerka’s and NATO’s skirts.
When I was still in Canadian Forces then Prime Minister Jean Chretien
actually committed the Canadian Army to deploy in the second campaign
in Iraq, the Coalition of the Willing. This was against or contrary to
the wisdom or advice of those of us Canadian officers that were
involved in the initial planning phases of that operation. There were
significant concern in our planning cell, and NDHQ about of the dearth
of concern for operational guidance, direction, and forces for
operations after the initial occupation of Iraq. At the “last minute”
Prime Minister Chretien and the Liberal government changed its mind.
The Canadian government told our amerkan cousins that we would not
deploy combat troops for the Iraq campaign, but would deploy a
Canadian Battle Group to Afghanistan, enabling our amerkan cousins to
redeploy troops from there to Iraq. The PMO’s thinking that it was
less costly to deploy Canadian Forces to Afghanistan than Iraq. But
alas no one seems to remind the Liberals of Prime Minister Chretien’s
then grossly incorrect assumption. Notwithstanding Jean Chretien’s
incompetence and stupidity, the Canadian Army was heroic,
professional, punched well above it’s weight, and the PPCLI Battle
Group, is credited with “saving Afghanistan” during the Panjway
campaign of 2006.
What Justin Trudeau and the Liberals don’t tell you now, is that then
Liberal Prime Minister Jean Chretien committed, and deployed the
Canadian army to Canada’s longest “war” without the advice, consent,
support, or vote of the Canadian Parliament.
What David Amos and the rest of the ignorant, uneducated, and babbling
chattering classes are too addled to understand is the deployment of
less than 75 special operations troops, and what is known by planners
as a “six pac cell” of fighter aircraft is NOT the same as a
deployment of a Battle Group, nor a “war” make.
The Canadian Government or The Crown unlike our amerkan cousins have
the “constitutional authority” to commit the Canadian nation to war.
That has been recently clearly articulated to the Canadian public by
constitutional scholar Phillippe Legasse. What Parliament can do is
remove “confidence” in The Crown’s Government in a “vote of
non-confidence.” That could not happen to the Chretien Government
regarding deployment to Afghanistan, and it won’t happen in this
instance with the conservative majority in The Commons regarding a
limited Canadian deployment to the Middle East.
President George Bush was quite correct after 911 and the terror
attacks in New York; that the Taliban “occupied” and “failed state”
Afghanistan was the source of logistical support, command and control,
and training for the Al Quaeda war of terror against the world. The
initial defeat, and removal from control of Afghanistan was vital and
essential for the security and tranquility of the developed world. An
ISIS “caliphate,” in the Middle East, no matter how small, is a clear
and present danger to the entire world. This “occupied state,”
or“failed state” will prosecute an unending Islamic inspired war of
terror against not only the “western world,” but Arab states
“moderate” or not, as well. The security, safety, and tranquility of
Canada and Canadians are just at risk now with the emergence of an
ISIS“caliphate” no matter how large or small, as it was with the
Taliban and Al Quaeda “marriage” in Afghanistan.
One of the everlasting “legacies” of the “Trudeau the Elder’s dynasty
was Canada and successive Liberal governments cowering behind the
amerkan’s nuclear and conventional military shield, at the same time
denigrating, insulting them, opposing them, and at the same time
self-aggrandizing ourselves as “peace keepers,” and progenitors of
“world peace.” Canada failed. The United States of Amerka, NATO, the
G7 and or G20 will no longer permit that sort of sanctimonious
behavior from Canada or its government any longer. And Prime Minister
Stephen Harper, Foreign Minister John Baird , and Cabinet are fully
cognizant of that reality. Even if some editorial boards, and pundits
are not.
Justin, Trudeau “the younger” is reprising the time “honoured” liberal
mantra, and tradition of expecting the amerkans or the rest of the
world to do “the heavy lifting.” Justin Trudeau and his “butt buddy”
David Amos are telling Canadians that we can guarantee our security
and safety by expecting other nations to fight for us. That Canada can
and should attempt to guarantee Canadians safety by providing
“humanitarian aid” somewhere, and call a sitting US president a “war
criminal.” This morning Australia announced they too, were sending
tactical aircraft to eliminate the menace of an ISIS “caliphate.”
In one sense Prime Minister Harper is every bit the scoundrel Trudeau
“the elder” and Jean ‘the crook” Chretien was. Just As Trudeau, and
successive Liberal governments delighted in diminishing,
marginalizing, under funding Canadian Forces, and sending Canadian
military men and women to die with inadequate kit and modern
equipment; so too is Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Canada’s F-18s are
antiquated, poorly equipped, and ought to have been replaced five
years ago. But alas, there won’t be single RCAF fighter jock that
won’t go, or won’t want to go, to make Canada safe or safer.
My Grandfather served this country. My father served this country. My
Uncle served this country. And I have served this country. Justin
Trudeau has not served Canada in any way. Thomas Mulcair has not
served this country in any way. Liberals and so called social
democrats haven’t served this country in any way. David Amos, and
other drooling fools have not served this great nation in any way. Yet
these fools are more than prepared to ensure their, our safety to
other nations, and then criticize them for doing so.
Canada must again, now, “do our bit” to guarantee our own security,
and tranquility, but also that of the world. Canada has never before
shirked its responsibility to its citizens and that of the world.
Prime Minister Harper will not permit this country to do so now

"But Lang, defence minister McCallum's chief of staff, says military
brass were not entirely forthcoming on the issue. For instance, he
says, even McCallum initially didn't know those soldiers were helping
to plan the invasion of Iraq up to the highest levels of command,
including a Canadian general.
That general is Walt Natynczyk, now Canada's chief of defence staff,
who eight months after the invasion became deputy commander of 35,000
U.S. soldiers and other allied forces in Iraq. Lang says Natynczyk was
also part of the team of mainly senior U.S. military brass that helped
prepare for the invasion from a mobile command in Kuwait."
http://baconfat53.blogspot.
"I remember years ago when the debate was on in Canada, about there
being weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Our American 'friends"
demanded that Canada join into "the Coalition of the Willing. American
"veterans" and sportscasters loudly denounced Canada for NOT buying
into the US policy.
At the time I was serving as a planner at NDHQ and with 24 other of my
colleagues we went to Tampa SOUCOM HQ to be involved in the planning
in the planning stages of the op....and to report to NDHQ, that would
report to the PMO upon the merits of the proposed operation. There was
never at anytime an existing target list of verified sites where there
were deployed WMD.
Coalition assets were more than sufficient for the initial strike and
invasion phase but even at that point in the planning, we were
concerned about the number of "boots on the ground" for the occupation
(and end game) stage of an operation in Iraq. We were also concerned
about the American plans for occupation plans of Iraq because they at
that stage included no contingency for a handing over of civil
authority to a vetted Iraqi government and bureaucracy.
There was no detailed plan for Iraq being "liberated" and returned to
its people...nor a thought to an eventual exit plan. This was contrary
to the lessons of Vietnam but also to current military thought, that
folks like Colin Powell and "Stuffy" Leighton and others elucidated
upon. "What's the mission" how long is the mission, what conditions
are to met before US troop can redeploy? Prime Minister Jean Chretien
and the PMO were even at the very preliminary planning stages wary of
Canadian involvement in an Iraq operation....History would prove them
correct. The political pressure being applied on the PMO from the
George W Bush administration was onerous
American military assets were extremely overstretched, and Canadian
military assets even more so It was proposed by the PMO that Canadian
naval platforms would deploy to assist in naval quarantine operations
in the Gulf and that Canadian army assets would deploy in Afghanistan
thus permitting US army assets to redeploy for an Iraqi
operation....The PMO thought that "compromise would save Canadian
lives and liberal political capital.. and the priority of which
....not necessarily in that order. "
You can bet that I called these sneaky Yankees again today EH John
Adams? of the CSE within the DND?

Subject: Final Follow up: Your registration as an independent candidate
Mr. Amos:
Following the Chief Electoral Officer's request by telephone on May
28, 2014 and his previous e-mailed requests for additional information
with respect to your registration as an independent candidate (please
see below), and having not received that information despite having
provided you with several opportunities to furnish the requested
information, he has now directed that said registration be cancelled.
Should you wish to re-apply for registration as an independent
candidate, you may do so after 60 days following the cancellation of
your present registration as provided for under subsection 146.1(1) of
the Elections Act.

Mr. Amos:
At the request of Mr. Michael Quinn, Chief Electoral Officer of the
Province of New Brunswick, I am writing to summarize his phone call to
you this afternoon, reminding you of his message of May 14 (see
below). In the message he left on your voice mail, he granted you a
few more days' grace and asked you to return his call at (506)
453-2218. He added that should he not hear from you by then, he would
proceed to cancel your registration as an independent candidate as
provided for in the Elections Act.
