Province withdraws request for emergency order to end N.S. Crown attorneys' strike

The province passed a law Friday to declare the prosecutors an essential service, but it was not proclaimed

Lawyers for the Nova Scotia government have withdrawn a request to have a court injunction heard on an emergency basis as the province seeks to end what it calls an "illegal" strike by Crown attorneys.

Both sides were in Nova Scotia Supreme Court court Friday for a scheduled hearing into the matter.

The province passed a law Friday declaring the prosecutors an essential service and officially ending their the right to arbitration. However, shortly after, the government would not proclaim the law.

Justice Heather Robertson said in court that passage of the law, Bill 203, would make the issue of an emergency injunction moot.

The Nova Scotia Crown Attorneys' Association is fighting the constitutionality of the law.

It was prepared to oppose the injunction Friday, saying the province rendered its existing collective agreement null and void by refusing to honour a clause allowing binding arbitration.


Gail Gatchalian, the lawyer representing the Nova Scotia Crown Attorneys' Association, said Friday's injunction application was 'a waste of time.' (CBC)

Gail Gatchalian, the lawyer representing the Crown attorneys' association, said the injunction application was unnecessary and the association would be seeking court costs in the matter.

"Today was a waste of time and, in fact, that was conceded by lawyers for the government this morning. There was no emergency, they knew the bill was going to be passed and proclaimed into law today."
The province says the strike by Crown attorneys risks public safety and has caused some cases to be dropped.

Later Friday, the Liberals brought Bill 203 before the Nova Scotia House of Assembly. It revokes the Crown attorneys' right to binding arbitration, a right they agreed to extend in their last agreement in exchange for a smaller wage increase, and requires Crowns to be deemed an essential service.

"They don't respect public sector unions in this province," said Crown attorney Rick Woodburn following the court hearing Friday. "And we've seen that time and time again.

"They will take away and smash and trample on our rights. And the question is whose rights are going to be trampled next."

He denied the government's assertion that the Crowns have derailed contract negotiations by refusing to budge from their demand for a 17 per cent wage increase.

On Friday, the government was voting on a bill that would prevent Crown attorneys from striking or to have binding arbitration. (Patrick Callaghan/CBC)

"The premier has stated again and again that we would not move off 17 per cent. I would say that in conciliation, we came down significantly from that number in bargaining. That is not what you're hearing from the government.

"We recognize that the taxpayers aren't necessarily going to foot the bill for Crown attorneys at 17 per cent. So in bargaining, we brought our numbers down."

He said the government was stuck on the seven per cent increase.

"And in fact, they said seven per cent, you can't have anything else above that. And we finally said no at the end of conciliation ... we're merely exercising our constitutional rights to go to arbitration. We know a week later they filed this bill. They knew all along during our entire process that they were going to file an unconstitutional bill."

The Crown attorneys have said they will return to work once the bill is passed, but will continue to challenge the bill in court.

It won't be easy, warned Wayne MacKay, a Halifax law professor and Canadian constitutional law expert.

"The strongest case the Crowns have for their constitutional challenge is whether it infringes on … the [Charter of Rights and Freedoms] — the right to collective bargaining and free association," he told CBC Information Morning Halifax on Friday.

"It has to be effective collective bargaining, which means you have to be able to have some kind of a weapon to use. The legislation will take away the promised binding arbitration, which was an effective mechanism and guaranteed for 30 years."

While the association may have a good constitutional argument, bringing it before multiple levels of the Canadian court system, all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada, will be a lengthy process.

"You have to go to the courts, and if you go to the courts, then you're going to start with Supreme Court trial division, then a court of appeal, then Supreme Court of Canada," MacKay said.

The cost can skyrocket, he said.


Halifax law professor Wayne MacKay said a constitutional argument against Bill 203 will like be lengthy and costly. (CBC)

"Usually hundreds of thousands of dollars later, taxpayer money and union money, and a very long time. Usually we're looking at in most cases, years."

However, Gatchalian said the legal wrangling doesn't have to drag on. The government has an option to apply to have the case heard before Nova Scotia's Court of Appeal.

To: David Amos <david.raymond.amos@gmail.com>

Hi, David it was a pleasure speaking with you, on Sunday, unfortunately a
family crises developed while I was speaking with you, I do hope to be able
to resume conversation with, but I have to admit there a bit of a learning
curve that is involved in getting to fully understand the whole, It's like
you providing me with many pieces of a puzzle and I have to put it
together, but I am up to the challenge.

The intention of the Facebook is to foster critical thinking, so I don't
interfere much unless, the posts are direct attack on the posters.  When I
first started the page it was easy to police the nature and the context of
the post, but currently the flow is very high and there is really no way
for me to check everything out. For most cases I will only view videos if
the are less then three minutes, longer ones I tend to listen for about a
min, but I do spot listens.

There is not enough time in the day .. to be thorough.

There is another site that I am working on, the Left eye, which I hope to
have  up and running by the end of the December. If I publish any of your
research to you wish to be credited, or remain anonymous?  That was the
site that I was working on before I became involved the the Occupy
movement..

Thanks Andre Faust .. :)

"Montreal criminal lawyer Giuseppe Battista concurs. He says that the
Quebec Court of Appeal appears to have "established the norm that in
principle" when abuse of trust and the public purse is involved in
matters of large-scale fraud a jail term is "required."

"But it is important to note that the court maintained the quantum of
the sentence," noted Battista. "In other words, they didn't touch the
amount of the sentence but they said that it should be served in jail
and not in the community."

Former lawyer Lyle Howe wins partial victory in battle with barristers' society

Disbarred Halifax lawyer won't have to pay $150K penalty upfront should he reapply to practise


Blair Rhodes · CBC News · Posted: Oct 25, 2019 10:05 AM AT



Lyle Howe, who was disbarred in 2017, won't have to pay $150,000 in costs related to his disciplinary hearing by the Nova Scotia Barristers' Society, the Nova Scotia Court of Appeal ruled Thursday. (Andrew Vaughan/The Canadian Press)

Disbarred Halifax lawyer Lyle Howe has won a partial victory in his battle with the Nova Scotia Barristers' Society over its decision to kick him out of the legal profession.

However, Howe said he is disappointed he didn't get the main thing he sought, which was some sort of acknowledgement that the process the society used against him was tainted by racism.

The society's disciplinary panel found Howe guilty of professional misconduct and professional incompetence. He was disbarred on Oct. 20, 2017.

The society said Howe could not reapply to practise law for five years and also stipulated that he pay $150,000 in costs before reapplying.

Howe appealed that decision to the Nova Scotia Court of Appeal.

In a decision released Thursday, the court found — with the consent of the society — that the requirement to pay the monetary penalty before he reapplies to practise law should be struck down.

But Howe would still be required to pay the  $150,000 penalty over time if he did practise law again.
However, the court disagreed with Howe's contention that his Charter rights had been violated by a process that was inherently racist.

In its decision, the court noted that the scope of its review of the society's decision is limited by law.

"Mr. Howe is arguing that the Panel misinterpreted, misapplied or overlooked evidence in making its factual findings," Justice David Farrar wrote on behalf of the five-member appeal panel.

"We can only interfere if there was no evidence upon which the factual conclusions could have been made."

Howe weighs options

Howe said he is considering his options, which could include seeking leave to take his case to the Supreme Court of Canada.

He has already lodged a complaint with the Nova Scotia Human Rights Commission about his treatment at the hands of the society.

When asked whether he would reapply to practise law now that the $150,000 penalty was no longer a pre-condition, he answered, "Hell, no."

Clarifications

  • In its decision, the Nova Scotia Court of Appeal ruled that the requirement for Lyle Howe to pay $150,000 before he can reapply to practise law should be struck down. But Howe would still be required to pay the $150,000 over time if he did reapply to practise law. This story and headline have been updated to clarify.

The RCMP's chat with Jody Wilson-Raybould stirs echoes of painful Liberal past

On the eve of the 2019 campaign, a flashback to the election of 2006




Aaron Wherry · CBC News · Posted: Aug 17, 2019 4:00 AM ET




The news that Jody Wilson-Raybould has spoken to the RCMP brings bad tidings for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in the lead up to the federal election, even though it is unlikely an invesgitation was ever pursued. (Hadeel Ibrahim/CBC)

That the RCMP spoke with Jody Wilson-Raybould is not evidence of a crime — Wilson-Raybould herself has said that she does not believe a crime occurred during the SNC-Lavalin affair. It is not even necessarily evidence of an active or official investigation. In fact, there is reason to believe an investigation was not pursued.

But the news on Friday that the former minister of justice and attorney general spoke with someone from the national police force in the spring punctuates another difficult moment for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government.

And it stirs echoes of the events, nearly 14 years ago, that doomed the last Liberal government.


The fact that Ethics Commissioner Mario Dion proceeded with, and completed, his investigation would seem to suggest that the RCMP has not been actively pursuing the matter. The Conflict of Interest Act dictates that the commissioner "shall immediately suspend an examination" if it is discovered that the subject of his investigation is also the subject of a police investigation.

In 2014, for instance, the ethics commissioner suspended an investigation into the Mike Duffy affair once it became clear that the RCMP was investigating the same people and events.
Dion is also obligated to suspend his investigation and notify the relevant authorities if he has reasonable grounds to believe that an offence has been committed.

In regard to the SNC-Lavalin affair, it is unknown whether the RCMP spoke to anyone other than Wilson-Raybould. According to a spokesman for the prime minister, no one from the Prime Minister's Office has spoken with the RCMP.

It is possible, at least in theory, that Dion's report on Wednesday added some new piece of information that could tweak the RCMP's interest — a spokeswoman for the police force said this week that the RCMP is "examining this matter carefully."

But it's also possible that the RCMP, for the sake of doing their due diligence, spoke with Wilson-Raybould and soon thereafter decided that no further action was warranted.

The suggestion of wrongdoing


But the unresolved hint of an official investigation can be a politically dangerous thing.

In the fall of 2005, suspicious stock market activity raised concerns that details of the federal government's decision to not tax income trusts had been leaked and exploited. An NDP MP, Judy Wasylycia-Leis, asked the RCMP to investigate.

Four weeks later, in the middle of a federal election campaign, the commissioner of the RCMP sent a letter to Wasylycia-Leis to tell her that the force had reviewed the matter and decided to commence a criminal investigation.

After the NDP publicized the letter, the RCMP issued a news release that specifically referred to Ralph Goodale, the finance minister at the time.

The Liberals, still struggling to shake off the sponsorship scandal, were suddenly faced with another suggestion of wrongdoing. Stephen Harper, leader of the Conservative Party, called on Goodale to resign. The Conservatives, who had been trailing the Liberals, took a lead in opinion polls that they would not relinquish, winning power in January 2006 and holding government for nearly a decade.

The RCMP and headlines


The post-script is probably worth keeping in mind.

The RCMP's investigation ultimately resulted in charges against a public servant in the finance department. But Goodale was cleared of wrongdoing. By then he and the Liberals were sitting on the opposition side of the House of Commons.

A review by the RCMP's complaints commissioner later found that the police force's policies for dealing with such situations were inadequate.

"I am recommending that the RCMP develop a specific policy concerning disclosure of information relating to highly sensitive investigations," the commissioner wrote. "This policy should include clear guidelines and be based upon a rebuttable presumption against disclosure."
The RCMP could be in another difficult spot now, with an election campaign just days away. So long as even the possibility of an official investigation exists, Conservatives and New Democrats might publicly hold it over the Liberals' collective heads. Ideally, if the RCMP has decided (or does decide) to not pursue the matter, it might find a way to say so before the writ is officially dropped next month.

For the Liberals, it is at least another reminder to avoid getting themselves into situations such as this. One thing leads to another and suddenly the letters R, C, M and P are in the headlines.
 
In a court of law, everyone is entitled to a presumption of innocence. But politics is not generally concerned with such niceties.

CSL ship had 83 kilos of cocaine on it

CTV reports that a Canadian Steam Lines ship -- a company owned by Paul Martin until he transferred it to his sons last year -- was found with enough cocaine to get Canadians to re-elect a Liberal government. The discovery was made in Sydney, Nova Scotia aboard the Sheila Anne, a ship named after Martin's wife. According to CTV, "The Sheila Anne had sailed to Sydney from Venezuela. At the time of the search, the ship was carrying a cargo of coal bound for Florida." I could be wrong about my geography but why would a ship bound for Florida from Venezuela stop on route in Canada? Perhaps the Martin family geography is as good as its history. And ethics.

Cocaine Steamship Lines

Theresa Zolner, at Heart of Canada is rethinking Miram Bedard;

CTV - Police in Nova Scotia have discovered 83 kilograms of cocaine on a ship that is owned by Prime Minister Paul Martin's sons and named after Martin's wife. [...]
Michel Proulx of the Canada Border Services Agency says the drug seizure is a remarkable find and adds that organized crime groups often exploit legitimate companies to transport illegal goods.

Cocaine found hidden on CSL vessel


Tu Thanh Ha
Published July 2, 2004 Updated April 21, 2018


To all the awkwardness that his shipping empire has brought Prime Minister Paul Martin, add the embarrassment of being a drug mule.

The day after his re-election this week, Canadian customs agents discovered a stash of cocaine hidden at the bottom of a Canada Steamship Lines coal carrier, one named after Mr. Martin's wife.

Drug smugglers apparently used underwater divers to plant the drug without the knowledge of the crew of the bulk cargo ship Sheila Ann during a stop in Venezuela.

The 83 kilograms of cocaine was discovered in a routine inspection after the ship arrived in Sydney, N.S.

"This is the first time that this type of incident has happened on one of our ships," said Martine Malka, CSL's director of corporate communications.

"Naturally, the company has zero tolerance for drugs. We'll take steps to make sure this won't happen again."

She said the packages must have been concealed while the Sheila Ann was at its last port of call before Sydney: Maracaibo, Venezuela, where it picked up a load of low-sulfur coal.

No charges are expected against the crew or the shipping company. The vessel was allowed to leave Sydney.

"This is not uncommon for a legit company to be exploited by organized crime when it comes to the movement of contraband," said Michel Proulx, a spokesman for the Canada Border Services Agency.

An underwater camera spotted the cocaine. Divers were then sent in to retrieve it.

The two drug packages were hidden in an underwater compartment sealed with a grate. Normally the compartment is used to allow seawater to enter to cool the vessel's engines.

Whoever planted the cocaine would have had to unscrew, then replace, four bolts holding the grate, Ms. Malka said.

The bolts will now be welded on CSL ships, she said. The company will also hire divers to inspect its ships when they use South American ports.

Since August of 2003, control of the company has been transferred to Mr. Martin's three sons, Paul W., David and James.

It wasn't immediately clear how pure the cocaine was or how much it was worth.

Evidence in recent trafficking trials show that in cities such as Montreal, a kilo of cocaine sells at the wholesale level for as much as $50,000.

The shipment found on the Sheila Ann could therefore be worth several million dollars, especially since it would be adulterated before it was sold at street level.

Mr. Martin's director of communications, Mario Laguë, said the Prime Minister's Office had no comment to make on the incident.

Landslide Annie forced to wait -- and hope


Jill Mahoney
EDMONTON
June 29, 2004

Anne McLellan's nephew, goddaughter and countless other Canadians went to bed after the 2000 election thinking the cabinet minister had been defeated by her Alliance challenger. They, along with several journalists, were mistaken.

But last night, as vote results whipsawed between the Deputy Prime Minister and Conservative Laurie Hawn, Ms. McLellan's record of tightly fought electoral battles was again top of mind.

"Close races seem to be my destiny," she said with a smile.

Indeed, in her first election in 1993, Ms. McLellan won by just one ballot, earning the nickname Landslide Annie; it was a margin that increased to 11 after a recount. In 1997, she had a 1,411-vote lead, and in 2000 it slipped to 733 votes.

Last night, as two children posted polls that largely showed Ms. McLellan with a slim lead, supporters congratulated her with hugs and handshakes. But Ms. McLellan cautioned them not to take anything for granted.

"We're not there yet. It's not over," she told one man.

Her re-election campaign in Edmonton Centre was supported by several prominent Conservatives and New Democrats, including former Tory prime minister Joe Clark, who argued she is too important an MP for Edmonton and Alberta to lose.

Ms. McLellan said her record of razor-thin margins is in part a reflection of the challenges the Liberals face in Alberta, where many still remember Pierre Trudeau's national energy program with deep disdain.

"It's never been easy for federal Liberals in this province," she said. " . . . There's a history associated with that and I think that we are overcoming that."

Ms. McLellan's supporters, including several prominent city politicians, gathered at a community hall just north of the city's downtown, where they huddled around televisions and cheered as the Liberals surged ahead. Ms. McLellan, who is the Liberals' chief Alberta representative, is joined in caucus by David Kilgour, the party's only other MP in the province, who also faced a tough battle but was declared elected.

The scene was much the same at Mr. Hawn's campaign office, where spokesman William McBeath said the crowd was confident later polls would put him in the lead. Mr. Hawn, a former fighter pilot, was seen as a strong and credible challenger to Ms. McLellan and carried the weight of the party's long-held dream to defeat her.

The New Democratic Party was represented by Meghan McMaster, who was expected to finish well behind.

Massive Irregularities: Edmonton Centre

Via campaign manager Victor Marciano;

Laurie Hawn, Conservative Candidate in Edmonton Centre, has filed a complaint with the Commissioner of Elections Canada after massive voter list irregularities were uncovered by his campaign. For some time, there have been rumors of election irregularities in Edmonton Centre. At an all candidates meeting with Elections Canada on January 4, 2006, it was revealed that two buildings had been struck from the electoral rolls because they were not residences. In reality, these buildings were both mailbox stores.
Several days later, the Laurie Hawn campaign identified a third non-residence building which sells mail boxes and reported it to Elections Canada.

A few days ago, the Laurie Hawn campaign was alerted, via e-mail, by an Edmonton lawyer that:
"Lots of [Anne McLellan] supporters are enumerated at their downtown office address instead of at their houses. One of them was bragging about how many times he could vote liberal (sic) based on the number of leases he had in her riding."
In reaction to this e-mail, the Laurie Hawn campaign acquired a City of Edmonton map which listed all buildings and their street addresses and began thoroughly checking the revised voters list. Despite checking less than half the polls, here are some irregularities that have been identified:
  • Almost 100 apparently nonexistent addresses in Edmonton's downtown core - in some cases, the addresses listed fictional residences in between two genuine buildings
  • Hundreds of people registered to vote out of their law offices, medical offices, accounting offices, and Government of Canada offices - in some cases these may be genuine errors, but in other cases, entire families are registered to vote out of high rise office space
  • Dozens of people registered to vote out of office towers, but who did not list a suite number, causing the address to read similarly to ordinary residences - in many cases, these people are also registered to vote in other ridings using their home addresses, and in other cases, voters living in other ridings are only registered in Edmonton Centre
  • Dozens of people registered to vote out of small mail box locations and from self-storage yards - there is no legitimate way for a person to appear on the list of Electors from a self-storage yard
  • Eighteen people registered to vote out of a truck stop
  • People registered to vote out of karaoke bars, lingerie stores, dance lounges, galleries, etc... The deadline for revising the list of Electors has now passed, and these irregular voters will remain on the list. In some cases, they have already voted in the advance polls and some of these irregular voters may have voted in previous elections, and may have had an impact on the results in the riding of Edmonton Centre.

  • Update - Edmonton Journal article "mix-up fixed, official says". Mixup?
    The Laurie Hawn campaign has filed a complaint with the Commissioner of Elections, asking that he review the 2004 final voters roll and determine if any of these fraudulent voters cast ballots in that election. The campaign has also asked him to prosecute anyone who voted more than once - in Edmonton Centre and again in another riding.
    Our campaign has also requested that voters be required to complete a voter declaration and undertake the elector's oath when voters registered at fraudulent addresses attempt to cast ballots in this election.
    The Laurie Hawn campaign takes voter fraud very seriously. Any individual who intends to vote illegally in Edmonton Centre should be aware that our campaign will be carefully monitoring the election, and will pursue any violation with Elections Canada to the fullest extent possible.

    Prime Minister announces former Deputy Prime Minister Anne McLellan as Special Advisor

    Canadians expect and deserve to have faith in their institutions and the people who serve within them. The events of the last few weeks have raised important questions about the relationship between the federal government and the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada.

    The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today announced that the Honourable Anne McLellan will serve as a Special Advisor to examine these questions and provide independent recommendations to the Prime Minister by June 30, 2019.

    In particular, Ms. McLellan will assess the structure that has been in place since Confederation, of a single minister holding the positions of Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada. She will consider whether machinery of government or legislative changes may or may not be recommended.

    She will also analyze the operating policies and practices across the Cabinet, and the role of public servants and political staff in their interactions with the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada.

    Ms. McLellan is one of few Canadians who served their entire parliamentary career as a cabinet minister. Most notably, she served as the Deputy Prime Minister and as the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, among other roles. Most recently, Ms. McLellan served as Chair of the federal Task Force on Cannabis Legalization and Regulation.

    Quotes

    “Earlier this month, I said our government would seek external expert opinions on questions about the dual role of the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada. Former Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada Anne McLellan will tackle these questions head-on. Canadians expect a government that is not only open and transparent, but continually challenging itself to raise the bar. Ms. McLellan’s work will be an important step toward that.”


    The Rt. Hon. Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada
    “Recently questions have been raised about the joint roles of the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, and about the rules and norms which should govern the relationship between the Justice Minister and Attorney General, other Ministers, public servants, and political staff. I believe that it is timely and appropriate to examine these questions. I look forward to providing my advice to the Prime Minister.”


    The Hon. Anne McLellan, P.C., O.C., A.O.E.

    Anne McLellan



    As a young farm girl growing up in rural Hants County, the Honourable A. Anne McLellan (1950-) dreamed of life in the “big city” of Halifax, where her aunt lived. Her dreams came true in 1968 when she was awarded a scholarship to Dalhousie, setting her on course for an immensely successful and distinguished career as an academic, politician and, most recently, the newest chancellor of her alma mater.

    “My parents wanted me to go to Mount Allison, but I wanted to live in the city. I wanted to go to Dal,” says McLellan. “I don’t know where I’d be if it wasn’t for Dalhousie. This place has made everything in my life to date possible.”

    McLellan adapted to life in the city quickly and never looked back. Graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in 1971, she was accepted into law school at Dal the following year. It was an exciting time to be a law student. New courses focusing on social justice expanded the course catalogue and extracurricular activities gave students plenty to do in their fleeting spare time. Between assignments and exams, McLellan worked once a week at the recently opened Dalhousie Legal Aid clinic on Gottingen Street.

    “My Dal Law class was a group of very great people,” she says. “We were the class of ‘74, and we thought we were pretty special. But so did a lot of other people.”

    After graduation, many of McLellan’s classmates went on to hold prominent positions around the world (including her fellow Dal Chancellor, Fred Fountain). She was no exception. Degree in hand, she went on to complete a Master’s of Law at the University of London before becoming a law professor, first at University of New Brunswick and then at the University of Alberta. Her move to Edmonton in 1980, the city she still calls home, forever changed her life.

    Growing up in a “capital L Liberal house,” McLellan had always been interested in politics and had even worked for local officials. But she never really saw herself running for office — until she did, in 1993, when she won the hotly contested federal seat of Edmonton Northwest.

    The victory set in motion a whirlwind 13-year political career for McLellan, first as a Member of Parliament and then in increasingly senior roles in the federal cabinet. Handling difficult and important portfolios such as Health, Justice, Natural Resources, and Public Safety, McLellan proved herself an impressive and influential parliamentarian. Her esteem earned her the role of deputy prime minister under Paul Martin in 2003.

    Leaving politics in 2006, McLellan turned her focus closer to her home province, working as a lawyer and as a distinguished scholar at the University of Alberta. She stayed engaged in the public sphere, too, leading the Federal Government’s task force on marijuana legalization. But Dalhousie has remained close to her heart, which is why she agreed to chair Dalhousie’s Advisory Council in 2011 and, subsequently, serve as the university’s seventh chancellor.

    “Dalhousie has been such an important part of my life,” she says, “and the opportunity to give back as chancellor is one I would have never expected, but it’s a great privilege.

    N.S. Crown attorneys plan to walk off job to protest bill

    Job action begins Wednesday as all but the most serious files are handed off to managers

    The president of the Nova Scotia association of Crown attorneys is predicting chaos when up to 80 per cent of his colleagues walk off the job Wednesday to oppose legislation revoking their right to binding arbitration.

    "There's going to be a lot of gaps, there's going to be a lot of coverage issues and, like it or not, there will be some casualties of this walkout," Perry Borden said during a news conference at Province House on Tuesday.

    Borden said 81 per cent of the 90 Crowns who voted on Monday supported job action in the face of Bill 203, which replaces the Crowns' right to binding arbitration with the right to strike, but also designates them an essential service. In their last contract, the government extended the arbitration right for 30 years in exchange for Crowns accepting a lower wage offer.




    "Last week the government changed the game, last week they made the playing field unfair," Borden said, standing in the foyer at Province House.

    "None of us want to be here."

    The government surprised Crowns with the legislation last week after the two sides could not agree on a contract.

    Current salaries for Nova Scotia Crown attorneys range from $65,329.68 for someone with less than one year of relevant experience to between $145,825.16 and $149,149.78 for a senior Crown counsel with at least 18 years of relevant experience.

    The Crowns want a 17 per cent wage increase over four years, which they say would bring them closer to the national average. The government is offering seven per cent over four years.

    More importantly, the government has no interest in seeing the matter reach arbitration, where it can not control the outcome.




    Rather than being in court, Borden said the majority of Crowns would be at Province House protesting on Wednesday, with Cape Breton Crowns holding a satellite protest on the island.

    Premier 'confident' Bill 203 is legal


    Borden said the Crowns have done their best to cover serious and significant files already before the courts, such as murders and sexual assaults. All other files have been given to managers throughout the province and it would be up to the government to determine how the holes are filled when courts open on Wednesday.

    Last week, the legislature's law amendments committee heard from labour law and constitutional law experts, as well as the director of the province's public prosecution service, who spoke against the bill.

    One by one, they argued Bill 203 is not compliant with the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, that Crowns' salaries could not be used to set a wage pattern for the rest of the public service and that the bill would create recruiting and retention problems.

    Premier Stephen McNeil told reporters at Province House on Tuesday that he listened to those presentations with interest and agreed with none of them.

    As he has previously, McNeil said the Crowns' ask is not affordable for the province, and he believes the public shares that view.

    "There's many of my constituents who would be happy with a seven per cent [increase], which they're not getting," McNeil told reporters.

    Despite being repeatedly asked if his government has a written legal opinion that Bill 203 is charter compliant, the premier would not give a direct answer, instead repeating that "we're very confident that our bill will stand up."

    McNeil said "lots of people give advice to government" and they base legislation around that advice.

    The premier predicted lawyers currently working for government departments and Legal Aid would seek similar raises if the Crowns get what they want, and said that's something the government cannot risk or afford. He said the province would look for "other ways to ensure that justice is delivered" during the strike.

    But the fallout from Tuesday's announcement suggests that won't be easy.

    A spokesperson for the province's public prosecution services said they are scrambling to find lawyers to cover court on Wednesday and they wouldn't be able to find people to run full prosecutions.

    Chris Hansen said they would be putting matters over, for now.

    The Nova Scotia branch of the Canadian Bar Association, meanwhile, called on the government to reverse course on Bill 203 and honour the deal it signed with the Crowns.

    Tory Leader Tim Houston said the premier is trying to paint Crown attorneys as greedy public servants who only care about making more money.

    "I think the Crowns are just feeling a little backed into the corner. They're doing important work on behalf of the province and it's unfair for the premier the way he tries to pick one soundbite and stick to it."

    Houston said the premier is ignoring the caseloads of Crowns in Nova Scotia compared to the rest of Atlantic Canada and he's forced them into this situation by breaking his word.

    NDP House leader Claudia Chender said the potential effect the walkout will have on the justice system is "terrifying."

    "I think we've heard throughout the last several days about the role the Crown provides in our justice system," she said.

    "I think it's going to be a sad day for justice and I think it that will reflect directly on this government, which has chosen to unilaterally breach a contract that has, by every expert opinion, has been done illegally."

    In refusing to back down, the government is using "disingenuous and untrue" excuses about why it's pursuing the bill, she said.

    Borden said Crowns have done their best to cover files that would be affected by the Jordan decision, a Supreme Court of Canada ruling that establishes a timeline in which a matter must be completed. But Borden said it's possible some cases might still be affected.

    "The government ultimately will take responsibility for this," he said.

    Lyle Howe squares off with lawyer Perry Borden at disciplinary hearing

    Borden, who is black, says Howe portrayed him as the 'house n--ger' of the Public Prosecution Service




    Blair Rhodes · CBC News · Posted: Oct 17, 2016 9:25 AM AT




    Lyle Howe's disciplinary hearing is expected to run four days this week. (CBC)

    The N-word landed with a resounding thud Monday at the Nova Scotia Barristers' Society disciplinary hearing for suspended Halifax defence lawyer Lyle Howe.

    It came in a heated exchange between Howe and a witness, Crown prosecutor Perry Borden. Howe described Borden's presence in the Dartmouth prosecutors' office as being "so quiet he was almost nonexistent."

    Borden, who is black, took exception to Howe's characterization.




    Borden said Howe's comment made Borden appear to be the "house n--ger" of the Public Prosecution Service. Borden told the disciplinary hearing on Monday that he felt Howe was being disrespectful with his comment.

    Howe became visibly upset during the exchange as he tried to pursue his line of questioning. Both panel chair Ron MacDonald and Howe's co-counsel Jeanne Sumbu intervened.

    Hearing drags on


    Howe's hearing before a barristers' society panel resumed Monday morning.

    The society accuses Howe of professional misconduct and professional incompetence. A hearing into his conduct began late last year and has sat for several days — off and on — ever since.

    The CBC's Blair Rhodes live blogged from the hearing

    Most important and poignant testimony, says Howe


    Borden had a prior court commitment in the afternoon, so the panel running the hearing agreed to adjourn further questioning of him until later this week.




    Howe described Borden's comments as the most important and poignant testimony to come out of the hearing so far.

    Howe said it speaks to his central theme — that he is the victim of systemic racism and is being singled out because he is black.

    The hearing is scheduled to run for four days this week with additional sittings scheduled for November.

    The three-member panel hearing the case against Howe has said it wants to conclude the hearing by the end of the year.

    Crown tried to warn Howe

    Following Borden's testimony, the panel heard from another Crown prosecutor, Alonzo Wright.

    Wright said he first became aware of Howe when he attended an awards ceremony at Dalhousie University's law school. Howe was being recognized as an outstanding student.

    Wright said he was asked to mentor Howe but the two could never arrange a time to meet.

    Wright told the hearing that early in Howe's career, he and another Crown met with Howe to discuss concerns being expressed about Howe's practice. Wright said he was trying to warn Howe about the pitfalls of being a defence lawyer, including being over-extended.

    Wright, who is black, said he has experienced racism in his life, dating back to his time in public school and extending into the practice of law. Wright said he prosecutes cases across the province and is frequently the only black man in the courtroom and often in the community.

    The panel is scheduled to sit for three more days this week.

    N.S. Court of Appeal reserves decision in disbarment case of Lyle Howe

    Many questions from judges on five-member panel focused on penalties levied against Howe







    Former Halifax defence lawyer Lyle Howe and lawyers for the Nova Scotia Barristers' Society face many questions as they deal with the society's decision to kick Howe out of the legal profession.
    The questions come from the Nova Scotia Court of Appeal, which heard two days of arguments this week from Howe and the society.

    Many of the questions from the judges on the five-member panel focused on the penalties levied against Howe.




    A disciplinary panel of the society disbarred Howe after finding him guilty of professional misconduct and professional incompetence. The panel also imposed a cost penalty of $150,000.
    Howe must pay that amount to the society before he can reapply to practise law. A society lawyer indicated during Thursday's hearing that Howe could pay in installments.
    However, the judges questioned how Howe could come up with the money, given that he's not allowed to work in his chosen profession, and whether that represents a permanent impediment to him returning to the practice.

    The judges asked whether the court had the authority to alter or rescind the award. They also asked whether, if they accepted the society's findings of guilt, they could impose a sentence on Howe less than disbarment.

    Lawyers given deadline


    The judges gave the lawyers until the end of this month to provide written answers to those and other questions.

    In his arguments, Howe submitted cases of other lawyers in other jurisdictions who, he said, had committed similar or worse offences and yet faced less severe penalties.




    Howe's central argument was that the decision to disbar him violated his equality rights under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms because he was singled out for closer scrutiny and faced harsher penalties than other lawyers.

    He argued that the only reason for the different treatment was that he is black.

    Comparison to Viola Desmond


    He even went so far as to compare himself to famed civil rights crusader Viola Desmond, who was arrested after she refused to leave the whites-only section of a Nova Scotia theatre in 1947.

    The lawyer for the barristers' society disputed Howe's assertions. Marjorie Hickey said Howe wasn't treated differently because of his race, but because he refused to follow the rules of his profession.
    Hickey also said there was a big difference between Desmond and Howe in that she demonstrated integrity with the stand she took.

    There is no indication when the court will rule on Howe's case but the judges will not have all the information they requested for another three weeks.

    >>>>> 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.

    >>>> 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

    >>>> [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

    >>>>
    >>>> [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.

    >>>> 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

    >>>> in its entirety without leave to amend and in determining that Mr.
    >>>> Amos’ allegation that the RCMP barred him from the New Brunswick

    >>>> articulated in Housen v. Nikolaisen, 2002 SCC 33, [2002] 2 S.C.R. 235
    >>>> [Housen]. As a result, it is no longer appropriate for the Federal
    >>>> Court to conduct a de novo review of a discretionary order made by a
    >>>> prothonotary in regard to questions vital to the final issue of the
    >>>> case. Rather, a Federal Court judge can only intervene on appeal if
    >>>> the prothonotary made an error of law or a palpable and overriding
    >>>> error in determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and
    >>>> law (Hospira at para. 79). Further, this Court can only interfere with
    >>>> a Federal Court judge’s review of a prothonotary’s discretionary order
    >>>> if the judge made an error of law or palpable and overriding error in
    >>>> determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and law
    >>>> (Hospira at paras. 82-83).
    >>>>
    >>>> [28]           In the case at bar, the Judge substituted his own

    >>>>
    >>>>
    >>>> B.                 Did the Judge err in interfering with the
    >>>> Prothonotary’s Order?
    >>>>
    >>>> [29]           The Prothontoary’s Order accepted the following
    >>>> paragraphs from the Crown’s submissions as the basis for striking the
    >>>> Claim in its entirety without leave to amend:
    >>>>
    >>>> 17.       Within the 96 paragraph Statement of Claim, the Plaintiff
    >>>> addresses his complaint in paragraphs 14-24, inclusive. All but four
    >>>> of those paragraphs are dedicated to an incident that occurred in 2006
    >>>> in and around the legislature in New Brunswick. The jurisdiction of
    >>>> the Federal Court does not extend to Her Majesty the Queen in right of
    >>>> the Provinces. In any event, the Plaintiff hasn’t named the Province
    >>>> or provincial actors as parties to this action. The incident alleged
    >>>> does not give rise to a justiciable cause of action in this Court.
    >>>> (…)
    >>>>
    >>>>
    >>>> 21.       The few paragraphs that directly address the Defendant
    >>>> provide no details as to the individuals involved or the location of
    >>>> the alleged incidents or other details sufficient to allow the
    >>>> Defendant to respond. As a result, it is difficult or impossible to
    >>>> determine the causes of action the Plaintiff is attempting to advance.
    >>>> A generous reading of the Statement of Claim allows the Defendant to
    >>>> only speculate as to the true and/or intended cause of action. At
    >>>> best, the Plaintiff’s action may possibly be summarized as: he
    >>>> suspects he is barred from the House of Commons.
    >>>> [footnotes omitted].
    >>>>
    >>>>
    >>>> [30]           The Judge determined that he could not strike the Claim
    >>>> on the same jurisdictional basis as the Prothonotary. The Judge noted
    >>>> that the Federal Court has jurisdiction over claims based on the
    >>>> liability of Federal Crown servants like the RCMP and that the actors
    >>>> who barred Mr. Amos from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004

    >>>> para. 27).
    >>>>
    >>>>
    >>>> [31]           The Judge noted that the 2004 event could support a

    >>>> (Federal Court Judgment at para. 28).
    >>>>
    >>>> [32]           The Judge determined that Mr. Amos disclosed sufficient
    >>>> material facts to meet the elements of the tort of misfeasance in
    >>>> public office because the actors, who barred him from the New
    >>>> Brunswick legislature in 2004, including the RCMP, did so for
    >>>> “political reasons” (Federal Court Judgment at para. 29).
    >>>>
    >>>> [33]           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:
