Why do so many new judges have personal connections to Liberal MP Dominic LeBlanc?
The
federal Liberals promised to appoint new judges based on merit. But
recent judicial appointees have had significant personal connections to
senior New Brunswick Liberal MP Dominic LeBlanc. The CBC's Robert Jones
has been looking at this story. 8:52

Federal Liberals have been promising to appoint the "most
meritorious jurists" to judicial vacancies across Canada, but most
candidates winning judicial appointments in New Brunswick over the last
year have had something else going for them — personal connections to
senior Liberal MP Dominic LeBlanc.
Five of the last six federal
appointments announced in New Brunswick include Leblanc's neighbour,
a LeBlanc family relation and three lawyers who helped retire debts from
his unsuccessful 2008 leadership bid. LeBlanc is currently minister of
intergovernmental affairs, northern affairs and internal trade.
Erin
Crandall, a professor at Acadia University who has written extensively
on the politics of judicial appointments in Canada, said patronage is
still a significant force in provinces like New Brunswick, despite
reforms to curb its use in the selection of judges.
"It's more prominent in smaller provinces," Crandall said.

"It's
less of an issue today than it was, for example, five decades ago, when
it was much more blatant. But we can still see that it certainly does
happen."
5 appointments
In the latest judicial
appointments in New Brunswick announced last month, federal Justice
Minister David Lametti named Moncton lawyer Robert M. Dysart and Saint
John lawyer Arthur T. Doyle to the trial division of the Court of
Queen's Bench.
Moncton
lawyer Robert Dysart was named to the trial division of Court of
Queen's Bench in June. He is a regular donor to the Liberal Party,
according to Elections Canada records. (CBC)
According
to financial records on file with Elections Canada, both men have been
regular donors to the Liberal Party, including to LeBlanc's Beauséjour
riding association, even though in Doyle's case he lives 100 kilometres
away.
Saint John lawyer Arthur Doyle was appointed to the trial division of the Court of Queen's Bench in June. (Cox & Palmer)
The
two were also among a group of 50 donors who gave money in 2009 to help
LeBlanc retire about $31,000 in debts from his unsuccessful 2008
federal Liberal leadership campaign, according to records filed with
Elections Canada.
Also helping with that leadership debt was lawyer Charles LeBlond and businessman Jacques Pinet, both from Moncton.
Charles LeBlond was appointed a judge of the New Brunswick Court of Appeal in March. (Michel Nogue/Radio-Canada)
LeBlond won an appointment to be a judge on the Court of Appeal in March.
Pinet
is married to Justice Tracey Deware. She was named chief justice of
New Brunswick's Court of Queen's Bench trial division by Prime Minister
Justin Trudeau in early June.

DeWare
herself was a Conservative Party donor and originally appointed to the
bench in 2012 by the Conservative government of Stephen Harper. But she
and Pinet are also neighbours of LeBlanc.
In 2013, they bought a
seaside property in Grande-Digue from LeBlanc next to his own
summerhouse. Property records show they paid $430,000.
Moncton
family lawyer Marie-Claude Belanger-Richard, who is married to Liberal
MP Dominic LeBlanc's brother-in-law, was picked to fill a judicial
vacancy in Saint John. (Veritas Law)
In
a fifth appointment last year, Moncton family lawyer Marie-Claude
Belanger-Richard was picked to fill a judicial vacancy in Saint John.
She is married to LeBlanc's brother-in-law.
Belanger-Richard is
the only one of the five justices who responded to attempts to contact
them about the string of appointments and their connection to LeBlanc.
Through a court clerk, she declined to comment.
LeBlanc's office referred questions about the judicial appointments to Lametti.
Lametti's
office declined an interview request, but his press secretary, Rachel
Rappaport, issued a statement denying favouritism and political
patronage in any of the New Brunswick appointments.
"All judicial
appointments are made on the basis of merit," Rappaport wrote. "As with
all Canadian citizens, judicial candidates are free to engage personally
in political activities. The appointments process neither disqualifies
nor privileges an applicant on the basis of political association."
Patronage prominent in province
Several
academic studies have shown New Brunswick has traditionally owned one
of Canada's most patronage-tinged judiciaries and little has changed in
recent years, despite Liberal promises to inject more merit into the
selection system.
A 2010 study that looked at 856 judicial
appointments in Canada over a 15-year period found "major" political
connections were involved in New Brunswick appointments nearly 77 per
cent of the time — double the national average and more than five times
the rate politically connected people won federal judgeships in
provinces such as British Columbia and Ontario.
Lori Hausegger, director of Canadian Studies at Boise State University in Idaho, was one of the lead academics on that study.

Hausegger, director of Canadian Studies at Boise State University,
worked on a 2010 study that found major political connections were
involved in New Brunswick judicial appointments nearly 77 per cent of
the time. (Boise State University)
She
said the problem with judges appointed because of political connections
is not their qualifications — all potential federal judges in Canada
are vetted for competence by independent panels — it's the possibility
they use connections to take spots from better candidates.
"The
problem is whether or not that [connected] person is different from the
other ones that they didn't pick in terms of their decision-making,"
said Hausegger. "There is not a lot of transparency in the system. We
don't actually know a lot in terms of how the minister is finally
choosing."
Likely several applications for a vacancy
Canada's
Office of the Commissioner for Federal Judicial Affairs will not say
how many lawyers applied for the judicial positions in New Brunswick
that were eventually awarded to those connected to LeBlanc, although it
is likely there were several.
Across the country last year, it reports 257 qualified lawyers were considered for 79 vacancies.
The
commissioner will also not reveal if any of the unsuccessful candidates
in New Brunswick scored higher than the winning candidates on
assessments of their ability and qualifications to be a judge.
"Assessment
results are confidential and solely for the minister's use," Philippe
Lacasse, executive director of judicial appointments for the
commissioner, said in an email to CBC News.
"In fact, candidates themselves are not informed of the results of their assessment."

justice minister Jody Wilson-Raybould promised in 2016 that
improvements would be made in judicial appointments based on
transparency, merit and diversity. (Ben Nelms/CBC)
In
2016, Jody Wilson-Raybould, the justice minister at the time, promised
major improvements in the quality of how judges are selected in Canada.
"We
are committed to ensuring that we make substantive and thoughtful
appointments to the judiciary, based on the principles of openness
transparency merit and diversity," Wilson-Raybould told Parliament in
May 2016.
Since 2017, there have been 10 federal judicial
appointments or elevations in New Brunswick. In addition to the five
most recent connected to LeBlanc, at least three other appointees were
past political donors to the Liberal Party.

Harper organizer appointed to bench
CBC News · Posted: Jun 27, 2006 3:05 PM AT
"New Brunswick lawyer Richard Bellhas been appointed to sit as a judge
in the Court of Queen's Bench in Moncton, in Prime Minister Stephen
Harper's first round of judicial appointments.
Bell,a lawyer in Fredericton, is a former New Brunswick co-chair of Harper's political campaigns.
The federal Tories announced the appointment in Ottawa on Tuesday.
Bell has been a lawyer for26 years and is bilingual.He alsohas an interesting political history.
A formerfederal Liberal,in 1997 he lost a controversial nomination race in the riding of Tobique-Mactaquac.
He switched to the Canadian Alliance, which later merged to become the Conservative Party of Canada.
Bell co-chaired Harper's campaign for the leadership of the new party in 2004.
He also co-chaired the party's election campaigns in New Brunswick in 2004 and 2006."
James
Risdon Ten
years or so ago, I was out of work. The most common bit of advice I got
was to go see my local politician. Everyone in northern New Brunswick
knows that the way to get a job here is to cozy up to the politicians
because nepotism is the main way to get a good-paying job.
I didn't go that route. I went back to school and got another college diploma and set up my own business.
During that time, one of my old resumes landed me a job in government by
a manager who was hiring three people. In the interview, that manager
admitted to me that two of those three people had gotten their jobs
through connections and had circumvented the normal hiring process. I
was the only person to be offered the job based on merit. The department
was rife with nepotism. I took a pass and completed my education
instead.
I've lived all over Canada and I have never seen the level of nepotism anywhere else that exists in New Brunswick.
So, no, I'm not at all surprised by this news story. It's not the exception. It's the unwritten rule.
Mark Hammer
Reply to @James
Risdon: We lived in New Brunswick for 3 years, during which time I had
the pleasure of regularly lunching with (Conservative, now retired)
Speaker of the Senate Noel Kinsella, and the other faculty members of
the university I was teaching at, and overhearing all the chit-chat. It
seemed everybody in that province knew, or was related to, everyone
else.
Several coworkers in the federal government thought they might study the
risk of nepotism in public service hiring, and made the mistake of
selecting Trois-Rivieres as their sample, learning in the process that a
substantial share of federal employees across all departments there
shared the same family name.
An American colleague conducted a number of focus groups on nepotism in
U.S. federal hiring. Much to his surprise, he found that while his
respondents were annoyed at HOW people came into the organization, after
working with them for a while, begrudgingly acknowledged that those
individuals were valuable additions.
So, while one should always strive to reduce it, sometimes you can't
avoid nepotism, sometimes you can't tell if it IS nepotism, and
sometimes nepotism, as unsavoury as it is, is not contrary to merit.

Reply to @Mack Leigh:
COME ON FOLKS open your eyes, as if anything would be different or has been different under these cons in power.
James Risdon Reply to @david mccaig: And there you have it. That's exactly the kind of reasoning that leads to this nepotism.
Those who support nepotism tend to see it as a way of building loyal
teams of people who share the same vision and who can therefore work
together effectively by reducing conflict.
The sad thing is that this is actually true ... to a point.
Without the natural diversity of viewpoints that tends to arise when
people are hired on the basis of merit, teams based on nepotism become
echo chambers for those in power. These teams are so limited in their
worldview that they create their own troubles by refusing to consider
other points of view which may greatly benefit them and help them
achieve their objectives. The result of such teams is often a grandiose
plan with fatal flaws that others outside the group would have
immediately spotted.
It's tough but the left needs to learn to listen to the right and the
right needs to do the same with the left. True diversity is not about
skin colour and gender. It is about considering and respecting other
viewpoints.

Harper organizer appointed to bench CBC News · Posted: Jun 27, 2006 3:05 PM AT
"New Brunswick lawyer Richard Bellhas been appointed to sit as a judge in the Court of Queen's Bench in Moncton, in Prime Minister Stephen Harper's first round of judicial appointments.
Bell,a lawyer in Fredericton, is a former New Brunswick co-chair of Harper's political campaigns.
The federal Tories announced the appointment in Ottawa on Tuesday.
Bell has been a lawyer for26 years and is bilingual.He alsohas an interesting political history.
A formerfederal Liberal,in 1997 he lost a controversial nomination race in the riding of Tobique-Mactaquac.
He switched to the Canadian Alliance, which later merged to become the Conservative Party of Canada.
Bell co-chaired Harper's campaign for the leadership of the new party in 2004.
He also co-chaired the party's election campaigns in New Brunswick in 2004 and 2006."
James Risdon Ten years or so ago, I was out of work. The most common bit of advice I got was to go see my local politician. Everyone in northern New Brunswick knows that the way to get a job here is to cozy up to the politicians because nepotism is the main way to get a good-paying job.
I didn't go that route. I went back to school and got another college diploma and set up my own business.
During that time, one of my old resumes landed me a job in government by a manager who was hiring three people. In the interview, that manager admitted to me that two of those three people had gotten their jobs through connections and had circumvented the normal hiring process. I was the only person to be offered the job based on merit. The department was rife with nepotism. I took a pass and completed my education instead.
I've lived all over Canada and I have never seen the level of nepotism anywhere else that exists in New Brunswick.
So, no, I'm not at all surprised by this news story. It's not the exception. It's the unwritten rule.
Mark Hammer Reply to @James Risdon: We lived in New Brunswick for 3 years, during which time I had the pleasure of regularly lunching with (Conservative, now retired) Speaker of the Senate Noel Kinsella, and the other faculty members of the university I was teaching at, and overhearing all the chit-chat. It seemed everybody in that province knew, or was related to, everyone else.
Several coworkers in the federal government thought they might study the risk of nepotism in public service hiring, and made the mistake of selecting Trois-Rivieres as their sample, learning in the process that a substantial share of federal employees across all departments there shared the same family name.
An American colleague conducted a number of focus groups on nepotism in U.S. federal hiring. Much to his surprise, he found that while his respondents were annoyed at HOW people came into the organization, after working with them for a while, begrudgingly acknowledged that those individuals were valuable additions.
So, while one should always strive to reduce it, sometimes you can't avoid nepotism, sometimes you can't tell if it IS nepotism, and sometimes nepotism, as unsavoury as it is, is not contrary to merit. David R. Amos Reply to @Mark Hammer: Methinks you likely heard Noel Kinsella curse my name a few times N'esy Pas?
David R. Amos Reply to @James Risdon: Methinks you know as well as I that nepotism is everywhere and it is not illegal and even if it were the Attorney General's would never prosecute themselves or be found guilty by the judges they appointed Furthermore what lawyer would dare to argue them N'esy Pas?
Mack Leigh And do we honestly believe that decisions made by these individuals would be based on the " facts " and not the Liberal Parties " Agenda " ?? Come on folks, open your eyes !!
David R. Amos Reply to @Mack Leigh: "Come on folks, open your eyes !!"
Why bother if you can't read the replies to your comments?
David Mccaig Reply to @Mack Leigh: COME ON FOLKS open your eyes, as if anything would be different or has been different under these cons in power.
James Risdon Reply to @david mccaig: And there you have it. That's exactly the kind of reasoning that leads to this nepotism.
Those who support nepotism tend to see it as a way of building loyal teams of people who share the same vision and who can therefore work together effectively by reducing conflict.
The sad thing is that this is actually true ... to a point.
Without the natural diversity of viewpoints that tends to arise when people are hired on the basis of merit, teams based on nepotism become echo chambers for those in power. These teams are so limited in their worldview that they create their own troubles by refusing to consider other points of view which may greatly benefit them and help them achieve their objectives. The result of such teams is often a grandiose plan with fatal flaws that others outside the group would have immediately spotted.
It's tough but the left needs to learn to listen to the right and the right needs to do the same with the left. True diversity is not about skin colour and gender. It is about considering and respecting other viewpoints.
David Mccaig Reply to @James Risdon: "AS IF the government in power are to appoint people to positions of influence that are trying to undermine their positions of power." THAT'S THE REALITY OF POLITICS , always has been always will be. Get over it.
David R. Amos Reply to @James Risdon: I agree Methinks amazing things never cease N'esy Pas?
David R. Amos Reply to @david mccaig: "Get over it."
Nay not I
David R. Amos Reply to @James Risdon: Yea Right Did you listen to my point of view during the last provincial election that we both ran in?

Good day Mr. Amos,
It has been brought to my attention that

I just want to give you a friendly reminder that all communication

Feel free to ask or call if you

Good Day to you as well
Mr Morneault
Thank you for letting me know of what has come to your
attention.
Pease excuse a minor political rant but after all the Crown
cannot
deny that my lawsuit is about the Governor General, my
political
opponents and their appointees not acting within the scope of
their
employment and deliberately acting wrongfully against me.
I am
more than willing to explain my actions this morning in writing
to the
Registry Office. In return and in the spirit of full
disclosure, I ask that
you file a true copy of this entire response
into the public record of the
Federal Court of Appeal File no.A-18-16.
Please find below are two emails I
sent earlier today and two
documents that were attachments to my second
email The documents
attached speak for themselves and one of the documents
is already in
the FCA file and was discussed by Justice Southcott and I
during the
public hearing of my matter on January 11th, 2016.
I
presume the judicial member of the Federal Court you are referring
to is the
Honourable Joseph T. Robertson because he is it only person
possibly of
Federal Court that I contacted today. However I only left
a voicemail with
Robertson early this morning before I sent him two
emails fairly early as
well, Basically just in case somebody was
ethical I was giving Robertson and
many others some food for thought
before I file my next lawsuit against the
Her Majesty the Queen.
However Robertson and his cohorts in the Court of the
Queens Bench had
ignored my concerns since 2004. The document from the New
Brunswick
judicial Council is in the file of the Federal Court as well
and
Justice Bell made note of it during the hearing on December 14,
2015.
If you scroll down through the emails I sent Robertson and
others
today it could have been anyone of a number of other people who
got
the same email as Robertson who may have some sort of issue with
my
actions today but not one of them are a judge of Federal Court or
any
other. Therefore Robertson is my best guess as to whom you
are
referring to.
For the public record I deliberately called
Robertson's office before
the Law School of UNB was open for business this
morning and left only
a voicemail of which I stand by every word. I suspect
the people of
UNB are all on March break anyway. Thus UNB probably does have
not
many employees on the job considering that fact there was bad
weather
outside as well. Only one friend who saw the news about KPMG and
the
judges of Federal Court and a Mayor of Montreal who is also in
the
news called me today. The others I called and talked to in Ottwa
and
elswhere will no doubt deny that I ever talked them.
Robertson
never called me back in fact nobody employed by UNB has ever
called me back
except their sercurity boss or one of his minions
talking like cops and
trying to accuse me of things I did not do.
However the security boss of UNB
is just like his buddy the former Sgt
at Arms Dan Bussieres. He will not
confirm or deny that he is an ex
member of the RCMP nor will he discuss why I
am barred from UNB. It a
small wonder to me that the Commissioner of the RCMP
is also quiting
with all the lawsuits against the them that are rolling
in.lately.
Whereas Robertson is employed by UNB to lecture folks on the
law, its
kinda obvious he is no longer a judge. UNB is supported by
taxpayer
funds so who is Justin Trudeau or Brian Gallant anyone else to
say
that I cannot talk to Robertson or anyone else at UNB? If it
was
Robertson who complained of me, please ask him what was so
offensive
about a voicemail and couple of emails from a poor man who pays
way
too many taxes on his gas, tobacco and other goods to keep the
lights
on in his fancy office at UNB. This no joke particularly in light
of
the fact. The Federal court acted like lightning to accommodate
Justice
Camp and his lawyer while the Crown can't get past a motion to
strike after a
year and a half of calling me frivolous and vexatious.
Then there is the big
spotlight that the Crown Corp commonly known as
CBC has shown the world how
other Federal Court Judges feel free to
party hardy with the likes of KPMG
and its fellow well-heeled tax
evaders.
Furthermore I do not know if
you are aware or whether you read my
latest filing or not but I have been
barred from the UNB Campus since
June of 2006. That was about 5 months after
I ran in Fredericton in
the election of the 39th Parliament and the Harper
government won its
first mandate. So for nearly 11 eleven years I can only
send emails
and letters to the UNB campus while its employees just like all
the
other employees in every legislative property in Canada have
continued
to laugh at me or ignore me or call the cops on me while inviting
me
to sue the Crown. This seems like just another one of those days
that
makes me regret not suing them ten years ago.
All that said I
don't believe Robertson is a judicial member of the
Federal Court so perhaps
it was somebody else complaining of me. If
so, trust that I called nobody
else in the Federal Court system not
even its lawyers. If it was Robertson
who claimed of me tell him I
would dearly love to see his pay stubs from
Federal Court. Federal
Court records appear to affirm my reasoning that
Robertson is retired
and that he acted as a judicial member of Federal Courts
for Justice
Camp's matter only
. http://cas-cdc-www02.cas-satj.gc.ca/IndexingQueries/infp_RE_info_e.php?court_no=T-201-17&select_court=All
"Written
directions received from the Court: Chief Justice Crampton
dated 17-FEB-2017
directing that To avoid any questions that might be
raised if a sitting
member of the Federal Court were to hear Justice
Camp's application for
judicial review of the Canadian Judicial
Council's rejection of his request
for an opportunity to make oral
submissions to the Council, I have requested
retired Justice Joseph
Robertson to act as a deputy judge of this Court to
hear that
application. Justice Robertson has agreed to act in that
capacity.
This request was made under subsection 10 (1.1) of the Federal
Courts
Act, and an Order-in-Council P.C. 2003 1779, dated November 6,
2003
(the OIC), pursuant to which the Governor-in-Council approved that
the
Chief Justice of the Federal Court may request any judge of
a
superior, county or district court in Canada and any person who has
held
office as such as a judge, to act as a deputy judge of the
Federal Court.
Pursuant to the OIC, the Govenor in Council also placed
a limit of 15 persons
who may act in the capacity of Deputy Judge of
the Federal Court. There
currently is only one other person who is
acting in the capacity of Deputy
judge of the Federal Court. For your
information, retired Justice Robertson
was a member of the New
Brunswick Court of Appeal from July 2000 to September
2014, and a
member of the Federal Court of Appeal from May 1992 to July 2000.
I
can confirm that he is under the age of 75. To ensure that justice
is
both done and is seen to be done in an independent and
impartial
manner: 1. Justice Camp will continue not to participate in
any
proceedings before the Court, other than in connection with
the
application that he has filed, and any other proceedings to which
he
may be a party. 2. Justice Camp will not occupy his office or attend
at
the Court. 3. Justice Camp will not have any contact with the
members of the
Court. I have appointed Prothonotary Aylen to assist
Justice Robertson with
interlocutory matters that may arise in
connection with Justice Camp's
application. placed on file on
17-FEB-2017"

'If
you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue'
By Teresa Hanafin, Globe
Staff
Good morning! It's Friday, June 28, the 179th day of the year.
Sunrise
in Boston was at 5:09 a.m.; sunset will be at 8:25 p.m. for 15
hours
and 16 minutes of sunlight. The waning moon is 17 percent
full.
US Senator Kamala Harris's challenge to former VP Joe Biden's
comments
about working with segregationists in Congress and his opposition
to
federal court-ordered busing got the most attention after
the
Democratic debate last night. And Biden seemed unprepared in
his
rather rambling answer.
By the way, it will be interesting to see
how Biden tries to clean
things up when he speaks this afternoon at Jesse
Jackson's Rainbow
PUSH Coalition Convention in Chicago.
And
predictably, conservatives almost immediately began attacking
Harris,
including by launching a coordinated campaign on Twitter in
which accounts
pretended to be black people offended that she would
claim to be black (and
all used the exact same wording):
"Kamala Harris is *not* an American
black. She is half Indian and half
Jamaican. I'm so sick of people robbing
American Blacks (like myself)
of our history. It's disgusting ... These are
my people not her
people. Freaking disgusting."
Because, you know,
racists would look at Harris throughout her life
and say, "Oh, she has black
skin, but she's actually half Jamaican, so
we won't discriminate against
her."
For the record, Harris was born in Oakland. Her mother,
Shyamala
Gopalan Harris, was a Tamil Indian, a breast cancer scientist
who
immigrated to the US from Madras (present-day Chennai) in 1960.
Her
father, Donald Harris, is a Stanford University economics
professor
who emigrated from Jamaica in 1961 for graduate study in economics
at
the University of California at Berkeley.
Progressives in the US
House are still fuming today over Speaker Nancy
Pelosi's decision to accept
the Senate version of the border funding
bill instead of the House version
that had more protections for
migrant kids held in detention and restricted
how the Trump
administration could spend the money.
Pelosi tried to
add those elements to the Senate bill, but House
moderates threatened to
withhold their support if she did. So it's the
Senate bill, with money for
the Pentagon to send more soldiers to the
border and no health and care
standards for the detention centers,
that goes to Trump for his signature.
Vox has a good rundown of the
differences between the bills.
Trump is
scheduled to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Osaka
about their
ongoing trade war.
I missed this for yesterday's newsletter: The two
friends whom writer
E. Jean Carroll told about her alleged rape by Trump
immediately after
it happened in the mid-90s have identified themselves and
publicly
corroborated her account.
Here's a New York Times podcast
interview with the women.
One friend, Lisa Birnbach, an author best known
for co-authoring "The
Official Preppy Handbook" in 1980, urged Carroll to go
to the police.
The other, Carol Martin, a longtime news anchor for WCBS-TV in
New
York, advised Carroll not to tell anyone because she believed
that
Trump would use his army of lawyers to make her life
hell.
Carroll, who blamed herself for the assault -- as far too many
women
do -- stayed silent. Until now.
Mass. Governor Charlie Baker,
still in London, meets with US
Ambassador Woody Johnson. Boston Mayor Marty
Walsh is at the US
Conference of Mayors annual meeting in Honolulu, Hawaii. I
wonder if
they've ever met in say, Albany.
Finally, let's end with
Rudyard Kipling's most famous poem, "If—".
Pretty good use of the English
language, I'd say.
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all
men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can
wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in
lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too
good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream — and not make dreams your
master;
If you can think — and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can
meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the
same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by
knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to,
broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
If you can
make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of
pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never
breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and
sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when
there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold
on!'
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk
with Kings — nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends
can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can
fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance
run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And — which is
more — you'll be a Man, my son!

which Prothonotary Morneau struck the Statement of Claim

dated September 10, 2004, which he sent to me, in my then

capacity as Past President of the New Brunswick Branch of the
Canadian

stated:

Bell, may I suggest that you check the

before I sue your entire law firm including you.

your brother’s keeper.

the former Premier of New Brunswick and a former

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

be witnesses

individuals who are known to

not limited to the former Prime

Right Honourable Stephen Harper; former

Canada and now a Justice of the Manitoba Court of

FOR JUDGMENT BY THE COURT
>>>
>>> I.
Introduction
>>>
>>> [1] On September 16,
2015, David Raymond Amos (Mr. Amos)
>>> filed a 53-page Statement of
Claim (the Claim) in Federal Court
>>> against Her Majesty the Queen
(the Crown). Mr. Amos claims $11 million
>>> in damages and a public
apology from the Prime Minister and Provincial
>>> Premiers for
being illegally barred from accessing parliamentary
>>> properties
and seeks a declaration from the Minister of Public Safety
>>> that
the Canadian Government will no longer allow the Royal Canadian
>>>
Mounted Police (RCMP) and Canadian Forces to harass him and his
clan
>>> (Claim at para. 96).
>>>
>>> [2]
On November 12, 2015 (Docket T-1557-15), by way of a
>>>
motion brought by the Crown, a prothonotary of the Federal Court
(the
>>> Prothonotary) struck the Claim in its entirety, without
leave to
>>> amend, on the basis that it was plain and obvious that
the Claim
>>> disclosed no reasonable claim, the Claim was
fundamentally vexatious,
>>> and the Claim could not be salvaged by
way of further amendment (the
>>> Prothontary’s
Order).
>>>
>>>
>>> [3] On
January 25, 2016 (2016 FC 93), by way of Mr.
>>> Amos’ appeal from
the Prothonotary’s Order, a judge of the Federal
>>> Court (the
Judge), reviewing the matter de novo, struck all of Mr.
>>> Amos’
claims for relief with the exception of the claim for damages
>>>
for being barred by the RCMP from the New Brunswick legislature
in
>>> 2004 (the Federal Court
Judgment).
>>>
>>>
>>> [4] Mr.
Amos appealed and the Crown cross-appealed the
>>> Federal Court
Judgment. Further to the issuance of a Notice of Status
>>> Review,
Mr. Amos’ appeal was dismissed for delay on December 19, 2016.
>>>
As such, the only matter before this Court is the Crown’s
>>>
cross-appeal.
>>>
>>>
>>> II.
Preliminary Matter
>>>
>>> [5] Mr. Amos,
in his memorandum of fact and law in
>>> relation to the
cross-appeal that was filed with this Court on March
>>> 6, 2017,
indicated that several judges of this Court, including two of
>>>
the judges of this panel, had a conflict of interest in this
appeal.
>>> This was the first time that he identified the judges
whom he believed
>>> had a conflict of interest in a document that
was filed with this
>>> Court. In his notice of appeal he had
alluded to a conflict with
>>> several judges but did not name those
judges.
>>>
>>> [6] Mr. Amos was of the
view that he did not have to
>>> identify the judges in any document
filed with this Court because he
>>> had identified the judges in
various documents that had been filed
>>> with the Federal Court. In
his view the Federal Court and the Federal
>>> Court of Appeal are
the same court and therefore any document filed in
>>> the Federal
Court would be filed in this Court. This view is based on
>>>
subsections 5(4) and 5.1(4) of the Federal Courts Act, R.S.C.,
1985,
>>> c. F-7:
>>>
>>>
>>>
5(4) Every judge of the Federal Court is, by virtue of his or
her
>>> office, a judge of the Federal Court of Appeal and has all
the
>>> jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal
Court of
>>> Appeal.
>>>
[…]
>>>
>>> 5(4) Les juges de la Cour fédérale sont
d’office juges de la Cour
>>> d’appel fédérale et ont la même
compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que
>>> les juges de la Cour
d’appel fédérale.
>>> […]
>>> 5.1(4) Every judge of the
Federal Court of Appeal is, by virtue of
>>> that office, a judge of
the Federal Court and has all the
>>> jurisdiction, power and
authority of a judge of the Federal Court.
>>>
>>>
5.1(4) Les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale sont d’office juges de
la
>>> Cour fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs
que les
>>> juges de la Cour
fédérale.
>>>
>>>
>>> [7]
However, these subsections only provide that the
>>> judges of the
Federal Court are also judges of this Court (and vice
>>> versa). It
does not mean that there is only one court. If the Federal
>>> Court
and this Court were one Court, there would be no need for this
>>>
section.
>>> [8] Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal
Courts Act provide
>>> that:
>>> 3 The division of the
Federal Court of Canada called the Federal Court
>>> — Appeal
Division is continued under the name “Federal Court of
>>> Appeal”
in English and “Cour d’appel fédérale” in French. It is
>>>
continued as an additional court of law, equity and admiralty in
and
>>> for Canada, for the better administration of the laws of
Canada and as
>>> a superior court of record having civil and
criminal jurisdiction.
>>>
>>> 3 La Section d’appel,
aussi appelée la Cour d’appel ou la Cour d’appel
>>> fédérale, est
maintenue et dénommée « Cour d’appel fédérale » en
>>> français et «
Federal Court of Appeal » en anglais. Elle est maintenue
>>> à titre
de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et d’amirauté du
>>>
Canada, propre à améliorer l’application du droit canadien, et
>>>
continue d’être une cour supérieure d’archives ayant compétence
en
>>> matière civile et pénale.
>>> 4 The division of
the Federal Court of Canada called the Federal Court
>>> — Trial
Division is continued under the name “Federal Court” in
>>> English
and “Cour fédérale” in French. It is continued as an
>>> additional
court of law, equity and admiralty in and for Canada, for
>>> the
better administration of the laws of Canada and as a superior
>>>
court of record having civil and criminal
jurisdiction.
>>>
>>> 4 La section de la Cour fédérale
du Canada, appelée la Section de
>>> première instance de la Cour
fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée «
>>> Cour fédérale » en
français et « Federal Court » en anglais. Elle est
>>> maintenue à
titre de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et
>>> d’amirauté
du Canada, propre à améliorer l’application du droit
>>> canadien,
et continue d’être une cour supérieure d’archives ayant
>>>
compétence en matière civile et
pénale.
>>>
>>>
>>> [9]
Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act create
>>> two separate
courts – this Court (section 3) and the Federal Court
>>> (section
4). If, as Mr. Amos suggests, documents filed in the Federal
>>>
Court were automatically also filed in this Court, then there would
no
>>> need for the parties to prepare and file appeal books as
required by
>>> Rules 343 to 345 of the Federal Courts Rules,
SOR/98-106 in relation
>>> to any appeal from a decision of the
Federal Court. The requirement to
>>> file an appeal book with this
Court in relation to an appeal from a
>>> decision of the Federal
Court makes it clear that the only documents
>>> that will be before
this Court are the documents that are part of that
>>> appeal
book.
>>>
>>>
>>> [10] Therefore,
the memorandum of fact and law filed on
>>> March 6, 2017 is the
first document, filed with this Court, in which
>>> Mr. Amos
identified the particular judges that he submits have a
>>> conflict
in any matter related to him.
>>>
>>>
>>>
[11] On April 3, 2017, Mr. Amos attempted to bring a
motion
>>> before the Federal Court seeking an order “affirming or
denying the
>>> conflict of interest he has” with a number of judges
of the Federal
>>> Court. A judge of the Federal Court issued a
direction noting that if
>>> Mr. Amos was seeking this order in
relation to judges of the Federal
>>> Court of Appeal, it was beyond
the jurisdiction of the Federal Court.
>>> Mr. Amos raised the
Federal Court motion at the hearing of this
>>> cross-appeal. The
Federal Court motion is not a motion before this
>>> Court and, as
such, the submissions filed before the Federal Court
>>> will not be
entertained. As well, since this was a motion brought
>>> before the
Federal Court (and not this Court), any documents filed in
>>>
relation to that motion are not part of the record of this
Court.
>>>
>>>
>>> [12] During the
hearing of the appeal Mr. Amos alleged that
>>> the third member of
this panel also had a conflict of interest and
>>> submitted some
documents that, in his view, supported his claim of a
>>> conflict.
Mr. Amos, following the hearing of his appeal, was also
>>> afforded
the opportunity to provide a brief summary of the conflict
>>> that
he was alleging and to file additional documents that, in his
>>>
view, supported his allegations. Mr. Amos submitted several pages
of
>>> documents in relation to the alleged conflicts. He organized
the
>>> documents by submitting a copy of the biography of the
particular
>>> judge and then, immediately following that biography,
by including
>>> copies of the documents that, in his view,
supported his claim that
>>> such judge had a
conflict.
>>>
>>>
>>> [13] The
nature of the alleged conflict of Justice Webb is
>>> that before he
was appointed as a Judge of the Tax Court of Canada in
>>> 2006, he
was a partner with the law firm Patterson Law, and before
>>> that
with Patterson Palmer in Nova Scotia. Mr. Amos submitted that he
>>>
had a number of disputes with Patterson Palmer and Patterson Law
and
>>> therefore Justice Webb has a conflict simply because he was
a partner
>>> of these firms. Mr. Amos is not alleging that Justice
Webb was
>>> personally involved in or had any knowledge of any
matter in which Mr.
>>> Amos was involved with Justice Webb’s former
law firm – only that he
>>> was a member of such
firm.
>>>
>>>
>>> [14] During his
oral submissions at the hearing of his
>>> appeal Mr. Amos, in
relation to the alleged conflict for Justice Webb,
>>> focused on
dealings between himself and a particular lawyer at
>>> Patterson
Law. However, none of the documents submitted by Mr. Amos at
>>> the
hearing or subsequently related to any dealings with this
>>>
particular lawyer nor is it clear when Mr. Amos was dealing with
this
>>> lawyer. In particular, it is far from clear whether such
dealings were
>>> after the time that Justice Webb was appointed as
a Judge of the Tax
>>> Court of Canada over 10 years
ago.
>>>
>>>
>>> [15] The
documents that he submitted in relation to the
>>> alleged conflict
for Justice Webb largely relate to dealings between
>>> Byron Prior
and the St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador office of
>>> Patterson
Palmer, which is not in the same province where Justice Webb
>>>
practiced law. The only document that indicates any dealing
between
>>> Mr. Amos and Patterson Palmer is a copy of an affidavit
of Stephen May
>>> who was a partner in the St. John’s NL office of
Patterson Palmer. The
>>> affidavit is dated January 24, 2005 and
refers to a number of e-mails
>>> that were sent by Mr. Amos to
Stephen May. Mr. Amos also included a
>>> letter that is addressed
to four individuals, one of whom is John
>>> Crosbie who was counsel
to the St. John’s NL office of Patterson
>>> Palmer. The letter is
dated September 2, 2004 and is addressed to
>>> “John Crosbie, c/o
Greg G. Byrne, Suite 502, 570 Queen Street,
>>> Fredericton, NB E3B
5E3”. In this letter Mr. Amos alludes to a
>>> possible lawsuit
against Patterson Palmer.
>>> [16] Mr. Amos’ position is
that simply because Justice Webb
>>> was a lawyer with Patterson
Palmer, he now has a conflict. In Wewaykum
>>> Indian Band v. Her
Majesty the Queen, 2003 SCC 45, [2003] 2 S.C.R.
>>> 259, the Supreme
Court of Canada noted that disqualification of a
>>> judge is to be
determined based on whether there is a reasonable
>>> apprehension
of bias:
>>> 60 In Canadian law, one standard has now emerged
as the
>>> criterion for disqualification. The criterion, as
expressed by de
>>> Grandpré J. in Committee for Justice and Liberty
v. National Energy
>>> Board, …[[1978] 1 S.C.R. 369, 68 D.L.R. (3d)
716], at p. 394, is the
>>> reasonable apprehension of
bias:
>>> … the apprehension of bias must be a reasonable one, held
by
>>> reasonable and right minded persons, applying themselves to
the
>>> question and obtaining thereon the required information. In
the words
>>> of the Court of Appeal, that test is "what would an
informed person,
>>> viewing the matter realistically and
practically -- and having thought
>>> the matter through --
conclude. Would he think that it is more likely
>>> than not that
[the decision-maker], whether consciously or
>>> unconsciously,
would not decide fairly."
>>>
>>> [17] The
issue to be determined is whether an informed
>>> person, viewing
the matter realistically and practically, and having
>>> thought the
matter through, would conclude that Mr. Amos’ allegations
>>> give
rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias. As this Court has
>>>
previously remarked, “there is a strong presumption that judges
will
>>> administer justice impartially” and this presumption will
not be
>>> rebutted in the absence of “convincing evidence” of bias
(Collins v.
>>> Canada, 2011 FCA 140 at para. 7, [2011] 4 C.T.C. 157
[Collins]. See
>>> also R. v. S. (R.D.), [1997] 3 S.C.R. 484 at
para. 32, 151 D.L.R.
>>> (4th) 193).

[18] The Ontario Court of Appeal in Rando Drugs Ltd.
v.
>>> Scott, 2007 ONCA 553, 86 O.R. (3d) 653 (leave to appeal to
the Supreme
>>> Court of Canada refused, 32285 (August 1, 2007)),
addressed the
>>> particular issue of whether a judge is
disqualified from hearing a
>>> case simply because he had been a
member of a law firm that was
>>> involved in the litigation that
was now before that judge. The Ontario
>>> Court of Appeal
determined that the judge was not disqualified if the
>>> judge had
no involvement with the person or the matter when he was a
>>>
lawyer. The Ontario Court of Appeal also explained that the rules
for
>>> determining whether a judge is disqualified are different
from the
>>> rules to determine whether a lawyer has a
conflict:
>>> 27 Thus, disqualification is not the natural
corollary to a
>>> finding that a trial judge has had some
involvement in a case over
>>> which he or she is now presiding.
Where the judge had no involvement,
>>> as here, it cannot be said
that the judge is disqualified.
>>>
>>>
>>>
28 The point can rightly be made that had Mr. Patterson
been
>>> asked to represent the appellant as counsel before his
appointment to
>>> the bench, the conflict rules would likely have
prevented him from
>>> taking the case because his firm had formerly
represented one of the
>>> defendants in the case. Thus, it is
argued how is it that as a trial
>>> judge Patterson J. can hear the
case? This issue was considered by the
>>> Court of Appeal (Civil
Division) in Locabail (U.K.) Ltd. v. Bayfield
>>> Properties Ltd.,
[2000] Q.B. 451. The court held, at para. 58, that
>>> there is no
inflexible rule governing the disqualification of a judge
>>> and
that, "[e]verything depends on the
circumstances."
>>>
>>>
>>> 29 It
seems to me that what appears at first sight to be an
>>>
inconsistency in application of rules can be explained by the
>>>
different contexts and in particular, the strong presumption of
>>>
judicial impartiality that applies in the context of
disqualification
>>> of a judge. There is no such presumption in
cases of allegations of
>>> conflict of interest against a lawyer
because of a firm's previous
>>> involvement in the case. To the
contrary, as explained by Sopinka J.
>>> in MacDonald Estate v.
Martin (1990), 77 D.L.R. (4th) 249 (S.C.C.),
>>> for sound policy
reasons there is a presumption of a disqualifying
>>> interest that
can rarely be overcome. In particular, a conclusory
>>> statement
from the lawyer that he or she had no confidential
>>> information
about the case will never be sufficient. The case is the
>>>
opposite where the allegation of bias is made against a trial
judge.
>>> His or her statement that he or she knew nothing about
the case and
>>> had no involvement in it will ordinarily be
accepted at face value
>>> unless there is good reason to doubt it:
see Locabail, at para. 19.
>>>
>>>
>>> 30
That brings me then to consider the particular circumstances
>>>
of this case and whether there are serious grounds to find a
>>>
disqualifying conflict of interest in this case. In my view, there
are
>>> two significant factors that justify the trial judge's
decision not to
>>> recuse himself. The first is his statement,
which all parties accept,
>>> that he knew nothing of the case when
it was in his former firm and
>>> that he had nothing to do with it.
The second is the long passage of
>>> time. As was said in Wewaykum,
at para. 85:
>>> To us, one significant factor stands
out, and must inform
>>> the perspective of the reasonable person
assessing the impact of this
>>> involvement on Binnie J.'s
impartiality in the appeals. That factor is
>>> the passage of time.
Most arguments for disqualification rest on
>>> circumstances that
are either contemporaneous to the decision-making,
>>> or that
occurred within a short time prior to the decision-making.
>>> 31
There are other factors that inform the issue. The Wilson
>>>
Walker firm no longer acted for any of the parties by the time
of
>>> trial. More importantly, at the time of the motion, Patterson
J. had
>>> been a judge for six years and thus had not had a
relationship with
>>> his former firm for a considerable period of
time.
>>>
>>>
>>> 32 In my view, a
reasonable person, viewing the matter
>>> realistically would
conclude that the trial judge could deal fairly
>>> and impartially
with this case. I take this view principally because
>>> of the long
passage of time and the trial judge's lack of involvement
>>> in or
knowledge of the case when the Wilson Walker firm had carriage.
>>>
In these circumstances it cannot be reasonably contended that
the
>>> trial judge could not remain impartial in the case. The mere
fact that
>>> his name appears on the letterhead of some
correspondence from over a
>>> decade ago would not lead a
reasonable person to believe that he would
>>> either consciously or
unconsciously favour his former firm's former
>>> client. It is
simply not realistic to think that a judge would throw
>>> off his
mantle of impartiality, ignore his oath of office and favour a
>>>
client - about whom he knew nothing - of a firm that he left six
years
>>> earlier and that no longer acts for the client, in a case
involving
>>> events from over a decade ago.
>>>
(emphasis added)
>>>
>>> [19] Justice Webb had
no involvement with any matter
>>> involving Mr. Amos while he was a
member of Patterson Palmer or
>>> Patterson Law, nor does Mr. Amos
suggest that he did. Mr. Amos made it
>>> clear during the hearing
of this matter that the only reason for the
>>> alleged conflict for
Justice Webb was that he was a member of
>>> Patterson Law and
Patterson Palmer. This is simply not enough for
>>> Justice Webb to
be disqualified. Any involvement of Mr. Amos with
>>> Patterson Law
while Justice Webb was a member of that firm would have
>>> had to
occur over 10 years ago and even longer for the time when he
>>> was
a member of Patterson Palmer. In addition to the lack of any
>>>
involvement on his part with any matter or dispute that Mr. Amos
had
>>> with Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer (which in and of
itself is
>>> sufficient to dispose of this matter), the length of
time since
>>> Justice Webb was a member of Patterson Law or
Patterson Palmer would
>>> also result in the same finding – that
there is no conflict in Justice
>>> Webb hearing this
appeal.
>>>
>>> [20] Similarly in R. v. Bagot,
2000 MBCA 30, 145 Man. R.
>>> (2d) 260, the Manitoba Court of Appeal
found that there was no
>>> reasonable apprehension of bias when a
judge, who had been a member of
>>> the law firm that had been
retained by the accused, had no involvement
>>> with the accused
while he was a lawyer with that firm.
>>>
>>> [21]
In Del Zotto v. Minister of National Revenue, [2000] 4
>>> F.C.
321, 257 N.R. 96, this court did find that there would be a
>>>
reasonable apprehension of bias where a judge, who while he was
a
>>> lawyer, had recorded time on a matter involving the same
person who
>>> was before that judge. However, this case can be
distinguished as
>>> Justice Webb did not have any time recorded on
any files involving Mr.
>>> Amos while he was a lawyer with
Patterson Palmer or Patterson Law.
>>>
>>> [22]
Mr. Amos also included with his submissions a CD. He
>>> stated in
his affidavit dated June 26, 2017 that there is a “true copy
>>> of
an American police surveillance wiretap entitled 139” on this
CD.
>>> He has also indicated that he has “provided a true copy of
the CD
>>> entitled 139 to many American and Canadian law
enforcement authorities
>>> and not one of the police forces or
officers of the court are willing
>>> to investigate it”. Since he
has indicated that this is an “American
>>> police surveillance
wiretap”, this is a matter for the American law
>>> enforcement
authorities and cannot create, as Mr. Amos suggests, a
>>> conflict
of interest for any judge to whom he provides a
copy.
>>>
>>> [23] As a result, there is no
conflict or reasonable
>>> apprehension of bias for Justice Webb and
therefore, no reason for him
>>> to recuse
himself.
>>>
>>> [24] Mr. Amos alleged that
Justice Near’s past professional
>>> experience with the government
created a “quasi-conflict” in deciding
>>> the cross-appeal. Mr.
Amos provided no details and Justice Near
>>> confirmed that he had
no prior knowledge of the matters alleged in the
>>> Claim. Justice
Near sees no reason to recuse himself.
>>>
>>> [25]
Insofar as it is possible to glean the basis for Mr.
>>> Amos’
allegations against Justice Gleason, it appears that he alleges
>>>
that she is incapable of hearing this appeal because he says he
wrote
>>> a letter to Brian Mulroney and Jean Chrétien in 2004. At
that time,
>>> both Justice Gleason and Mr. Mulroney were partners
in the law firm
>>> Ogilvy Renault, LLP. The letter in question,
which is rude and angry,
>>> begins with “Hey you two Evil Old
Smiling Bastards” and “Re: me suing
>>> you and your little dogs
too”. There is no indication that the letter
>>> was ever responded
to or that a law suit was ever commenced by Mr.
>>> Amos against Mr.
Mulroney. In the circumstances, there is no reason
>>> for Justice
Gleason to recuse herself as the letter in question does
>>> not
give rise to a reasonable apprehension of
bias.
>>>
>>>
>>> III.
Issue
>>>
>>> [26] The issue on the
cross-appeal is as follows: Did the
>>> Judge err in setting aside
the Prothonotary’s Order striking the Claim
>>> in its entirety
without leave to amend and in determining that Mr.
>>> Amos’
allegation that the RCMP barred him from the New Brunswick
>>>
legislature in 2004 was capable of supporting a cause of
action?

>>> [32] The Judge determined that
Mr. Amos disclosed sufficient

This Court’s discussion of the sufficiency of pleadings
>>> in
Merchant Law Group v. Canada (Revenue Agency), 2010 FCA 184, 321
>>>
D.L.R (4th) 301 is particularly apt:
>>>
>>> …When
pleading bad faith or abuse of power, it is not enough to
>>>
assert, baldly, conclusory phrases such as “deliberately or
>>>
negligently,” “callous disregard,” or “by fraud and theft did
steal”.
>>> “The bare assertion of a conclusion upon which the court
is called
>>> upon to pronounce is not an allegation of material
fact”. Making bald,
>>> conclusory allegations without any
evidentiary foundation is an abuse
>>> of
process…
>>>
>>> To this, I would add that the tort of
misfeasance in public office
>>> requires a particular state of mind
of a public officer in carrying
>>> out the impunged action, i.e.,
deliberate conduct which the public
>>> officer knows to be
inconsistent with the obligations of his or her
>>> office. For this
tort, particularization of the allegations is
>>> mandatory. Rule
181 specifically requires particularization of
>>> allegations of
“breach of trust,” “wilful default,” “state of mind of
>>> a
person,” “malice” or “fraudulent intention.”
>>> (at paras. 34-35,
citations omitted).
>>>
>>> [34] Applying the
Housen standard of review to the
>>> Prothonotary’s Order, we are of
the view that the Judge interfered
>>> absent a legal or palpable
and overriding error.
>>>
>>> [35] The
Prothonotary determined that Mr. Amos’ Claim
>>> disclosed no
reasonable claim and was fundamentally vexatious on the
>>> basis of
jurisdictional concerns and the absence of material facts to
>>>
ground a cause of action. Paragraph 14 of the Claim, which
addresses
>>> the 2004 event, pleads no material facts as to how the
RCMP officer
>>> engaged in deliberate and unlawful conduct, knew
that his or her
>>> conduct was unlawful and likely to harm Mr.
Amos, and acted in bad
>>> faith. While the Claim alleges elsewhere
that Mr. Amos was barred from
>>> the New Brunswick legislature for
political and/or malicious reasons,
>>> these allegations are not
particularized and are directed against
>>> non-federal actors, such
as the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Legislative
>>> Assembly of New
Brunswick and the Fredericton Police Force. As such,
>>> the Judge
erred in determining that Mr. Amos’ allegation that the RCMP
>>>
barred him from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 was capable
of
>>> supporting a cause of action.
>>>
>>>
[36] In our view, the Claim is made up entirely of
bare
>>> allegations, devoid of any detail, such that it discloses
no
>>> reasonable cause of action within the jurisdiction of the
Federal
>>> Courts. Therefore, the Judge erred in interfering to set
aside the
>>> Prothonotary’s Order striking the claim in its
entirety. Further, we
>>> find that the Prothonotary made no error
in denying leave to amend.
>>> The deficiencies in Mr. Amos’
pleadings are so extensive such that
>>> amendment could not cure
them (see Collins at para. 26).
