‘The Suspect has the stickiness that the SVoDs like and with the
real-life crime aspect and family story, it has global appeal’
Distributor eOne International Distribution
Producer eOne
Length 4 x 60 minutes
Broadcaster CBC (Canada)
This eOne production, in association with Seven Knots Media, is a
true-crime doc that follows the retrial of Dennis Oland, who in 2015
was found guilty of the murder of his millionaire father Richard.
The sixth generation of the family-owned Moosehead Beer dynasty,
Richard Oland was a prominent businessman in Nova Scotia with several
trucking companies and an investment firm to his name.
Unravelling in the quiet port city of New Brunswick in Canada, the
vicious murder of one of the area’s most prominent and wealthy
inhabitants captured the national headlines.
This 4 x 60-minute documentary follows Dennis Oland’s retrial, as well
as highlighting a justice system broken from its very foundation – it
is alleged that once the Saint John Police Department had identified
the younger Oland, who owed his father half a million dollars for a
loan that bankrolled a divorce from his first wife, as the main
suspect, tunnel vision set in and other avenues of investigation could
have been missed.
EOne executive vice-president of acquisitions Noel Hedges says the
project has finally been revealed after being under a large cloak of
secrecy for nearly two years.
Ahead of its TX next February on CBC in Canada, The Suspect will be
taken to Mipcom, where Hedges expects to receive attention from SVoD,
digital and PSB players.
“The Suspect has the stickiness that the SVoDs like and with the
real-life crime aspect and family story, it has global appeal,” says
Hedges.
“Real crime sells all over the world and is a popular genre with
women. We expect the series to do well in Latin America and
Scandinavia, and it will make up a key show within our real-crime
slate.”
Producer and distributor eOne has been pushing hard into factual
content in recent years after making its name as the vendor of dramas
such as The Walking Dead and producer of Rookie Blue, Designated
Survivor and Private Eyes.
The company was recently sold to toy firm Hasbro for $4bn (£3.3bn) – a
deal that will bolster reserves and allow its executives to double
down on premium fare such as The Suspect.
Hedges says the documentary takes viewers through the entire case,
digging into the aftermath of the murder and winding a path full of
twists and turns up to the retrial and its verdict.
“Richard Oland wasn’t a particularly liked person and came from a
community that was relatively poor,” says Hedges. “This series raises
questions over the son’s motivation and the police activity. It is a
really interesting story, which has plenty of questions left
unanswered at the end.”
Richard Oland’s wife had said her husband was never the same after
losing a bitter family battle for the helm of Moosehead to his
brother. He was described as a “verbally and emotionally” abusive
character who had an eight-year affair.
Hedges believes The Suspect is a primetime, primarily post-watershed
show that will attract both old and younger audiences as it ticks a
lot of boxes in terms of drama, intrigue and scandal.
“This is a ‘did they, didn’t they’ story with labyrinthine complexity
and it is very much a premium show,” said Hedges.

Information Morning - Saint John
On election-results day, Saint John Mayor Don Darling reflects on 5-year-term
Darling says he did not run for a 2nd term as mayor because the role took a toll on his family
Saint John Mayor Don Darling will find out later Tuesday who will replace him in city hall's top job as his challenging single term comes to an end.
"It's a bit of a weird day, to be honest," Darling said in an interview with Information Morning Saint John.
Darling won the mayor's post in 2016 on a promise to practise fiscal responsibility while growing the city and creating jobs. He said it's a role he's tried to put a lot of "energy and passion" into.
"We certainly were tested over the last five years," he said.
Four people ran for Saint John mayor in municipal elections held May 11: Donna Reardon, Mel Vincent, Howard Yeomans and Darrell Bastarache.
Because the pandemic delayed voting in the Edmundston region, the results for all New Brunswick municipalities won't be revealed until Tuesday night.
A tough 5 years
It's been a term full of challenges for Darling, who doesn't expect to re-enter politics.
The city has faced increasing financial strain with $10-million deficits expected for two years.
Last year, the city was prepared for a restructuring that would see job losses and programming cuts.
Darling helped lay the groundwork for those cuts, tried to prepare the public for them and vigorously defended their necessity.
"I kept my promise and I did exactly what I promised to do," he said. "I think the city is in a much better place than what it was."
Darling said it was a difficult decision not to run again, but the job was taking a toll on him and his family.
"It was a very emotional decision," he said.
There are still city issues that need to be tackled such as food security, affordable housing and employment security.
Tips for the next mayor and council
Darling has always been outspoken and connected with residents over social media. In February, he also held a news conference to encourage residents to apply for the mayoral position.
Darling is encouraging the next mayor and council to surround themselves with a group of strategic people to have "that sounding board." And to also take advice, even when they don't want it.
And he also encourages the incoming mayor to stand up for what's right, whether it's against racism or for "treating people in a fair and balanced way."
"I'm excited for this next council," he said. "I want them to be successful."

> WikiLeaks' Julian Assange to leave embassy 'soon'
>
> Kim Hjelmgaard, USA TODAY 11:08 a.m. EDT August 18, 2014
>
> LONDON — WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange announced Monday that after
> spending two years in the Embassy of Ecuador in London he will "soon"
> leave the diplomatic safe harbor.
>
> He made the comments during a joint press conference with Ecuador's
> Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino. Assange did not elaborate on the
> timing or address whether an impasse over his potential extradition
> had been resolved.
>
> It was suggested in the British press over the weekend that Assange
> may need hospital treatment for a heart defect and lung condition and
> that any move could be to remedy those suspected health problems.
>
> However, Assange refused to be drawn on those specific points Monday,
> saying only that when he does leave it will "probably not" be for the
> reasons reported on.
>
> WikiLeaks spokesman Kristinn Hrafnsson later clarified Assange's
> claim. Hrafnsson said the issue of Assange's extradition must first be
> resolved before he can leave.
>
> "The plan is to leave as soon as the U.K. government decides to honor
> its obligations," Hrafnsson said, referring to guarantees he is
> seeking over the right to travel to Ecuador.
>
> Still, Assange said that his health has suffered as a result of his
> confinement.
>
> "It's (the embassy) an environment in which any healthy person would
> find themselves soon enough with certain difficulties they would have
> to manage," Assange said. He said the embassy "has no outside areas,
> no sunlight."
>
> Assange, 43, fled to the embassy in 2012 fearing extradition to the
> U.S. via Sweden, where authorities want to question him over
> allegations related to a sexual assault.
>
> Ecuador has granted him refugee status and says it remains committed
> to his protection, but British police have so far refused to let
> Assange leave the embassy and it is thought that he would be arrested
> if he tried to do so.
>
> In 2010, WikiLeaks published a tranche of leaked military and
> diplomatic cables and Assange has been the subject of an investigation
> by U.S. authorities.

Election results won't be made public until New Brunswick is lockdown-free
Election day in most places is May 10 but results are unlikely to be known that night

Provincewide municipal election results will not be made public until elections in areas affected by regional lockdowns are complete, says New Brunswick's chief electoral officer.
That means it is unlikely that New Brunswickers will see results on May 10.
Voting in the Edmundston and the upper Madawaska regions has been suspended until the COVD-19 lockdown has been lifted in those areas.
Kim Poffenroth, New Brunswick's chief electoral officer, expects greater voter turnout this year because the election has been in the works for a year. (Roger Cosman/CBC)
"If an area goes into lockdown, the legislation requires that the election activities be suspended in those areas until a lockdown is lifted," said Kim Poffenroth, during an interview with Information Morning Fredericton.
In March, the provincial government also passed legislation to allow the suspension of nominations and voting in a particular zone in the event of a lockdown.
The release of election results is also halted because district education council and regional health authority voting overlaps in areas that are both in and out of lockdown.
"You don't release results for a contest if people can still vote in that contest," she said.
Election 2 weeks away
Advance polls open this upcoming Saturday and Monday.
Election day is May 10, but no voting will take place in any zone under lockdown.
"As soon as the lockdown is lifted, election activities will resume," Poffenroth said.
"...For every week of lockdown , that means the election day itself will be delayed a week."
Once a lockdown has been lifted, returning offices will be reopened so residents can vote in person. Poll workers will be trained and voter information cards will be sent out.
What will voting look like?
Poffenroth said the voting process will be similar to New Brunswick's provincial election in September. Voters will be required to wear masks, sanitize their hands and practice physical distancing.
Voter information cards are expected to arrive in New Brunswick mailboxes Monday in zones not under lockdown. This will allow voters to be processed faster at the polls.
"Whether it's campaigning or any of the other day to day activities you're doing, you should be complying with whatever the public health guidelines are for your area," she said.
She said there have also been more candidates running in this year's municipal election compared to 2016.
"People are definitely interested in getting involved in the local decision making process."
"I think this last year has shown to everyone that important decisions are being made by all levels of government."
Expecting more voters
She also expects higher voter turnout this year because people are more aware of the upcoming election after it was postponed for a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In 2016, voter turnout hovered around 34.55 per cent. In 2012, the voter turnout was slightly higher at 35.5 per cent.
"The fact that this election has been delayed by a year has perhaps raised the awareness of the public in this election."

Mel Vincent Jr. seeks mayor's job in Saint John
Son of the late Mel Vincent Sr., the city's longest-serving councillor, he says it's time to give back
Mel Vincent Jr. says he grew up in a family where serving in public office was considered an honourable calling and a way of "paying societal debt."
Now he's looking to follow in the steps of his late father, Mel Vincent Sr., who served for 30 years on Saint John council.
"It's time for me to give back," Vincent said.
Vincent was born and raised in Saint John and is a home-builder and real estate broker.
He studied political science at the University of New Brunswick and worked at Enterprise Saint John for a year in immigration. He has also been involved with Develop Saint John.
Athough he has never served on council, he said he has stood at the podium in front of council members on many occasions.
"I fought and argued for the projects that I believed in," he said.
"You know, sitting at the horseshoe might be the easy side of the table, but to work with the staff and the planning and inspection departments on the projects that I've worked with a,nd for the city, has given me a unique perspective that few people have."
In terms of competing for the mayor's seat against two-term councillor Donna Reardon, he said he's coming in as a "newbie" but also has a lot of experience.
"I think obviously sitting there has some unique perspectives, but it also comes with some baggage, too, being responsible for the time that you sat there and the decisions that you've made."
Vincent said the biggest issues he wants to tackle are growing the population, the economy and the tax base, and improving the community's recreation infrastructure.
"As an extremely competitive person, sitting in number two, frankly, does not sit well with me. And we're not far from sitting on number three," he said, referencing Saint John's population compared to the province's other cities.
He said he wants to sell Saint John to the world.
"Working at Enterprise Saint John immigration and listening to people who could go almost anywhere in this world tell me how great this city is, we need to become a more positive city," he said.
"There's no reason why anybody wouldn't want to live here."
He also said it's important to reduce poverty and tackle affordable housing, where he sees private ownership as a path to reduction.
It's sad to walk through the City Market today, see no people and see a lot of empty stalls.
- Mayor candidate Mel Vincent Jr.
Vincent said the tax formula that exists right now isn't fair, and Saint John needs a bigger share of the tax revenue raised in the city,
"One of the unique advantages I have, I don't have to introduce myself to people in Fredericton who are making these decisions. They know who I am today."
All levels of government, especially the municipality, he said, need to be more engaged with Saint John's business community, especially during the pandemic.
He said the home-building sector has plenty of business but has faced challenges getting supplies, while restaurants can't turn their tables fast enough because of diminished capacity.
"It's a sector that needs a great deal of help, the community I think has been very supportive."
He said Saint John needs to be out in front dealing with the cruise ship business to make sure that it comes back as soon as it's safe.
"It's sad to walk through the City Market today, see no people and see a lot of empty stalls," he said.
Rather than "going back to normal", he said, he's confident that Saint John will go to a better place as it recovers from the pandemic.
"As a business person, I know the passion and hunger that people have. I think the immigration community is entrepreneurial at levels that we don't see often."

Two-term Saint John councillor Donna Reardon launches bid for mayor's seat
Dietician and medical administrator says she's proud of her work representing Saint John's Ward 3
Donna Reardon says when she heard Don Darling wasn't reoffering, she thought it might be time to take the next step.
"I have made, I think, a significant investment in Saint John in nine years."
"I've got the background. I've got the experience."
Reardon said she asked her fellow councillors for feedback and they told her to "go for it."
"So here I am," she said.
Reardon is a trained dietician by profession, and works as the administrator at her husband's medical practice.
She was first elected to council in 2012 and is about to conclude her second term as the representative for Ward 3, which includes parts of east Saint John, the central peninsula and the lower west side.
"I feel like I know the ropes. I feel like I understand the priorities," she said.
"We've made a lot of very difficult moves on the chessboard."
"From my perspective of being in the trenches, we've turned a corner — a significant one."
Reardon said she wants to "keep on that road."
The city is in a relatively good position for pandemic recovery right now, she said, because of the cost-cutting measures it has taken in recent years.
"Because we were looking at a much leaner operation, the impacts haven't been as great."
Nevertheless, she points out that a review of agencies, boards and commissions is ongoing.
They're being looked at "with a fine tooth comb," she said, to make sure they're working.
"Everything is being looked at."

doors. (Donna Reardon/Twitter)
So far, Reardon said she's been getting a good reception from people as she walks around the city.
She's carrying campaign signs, but not knocking on doors because of COVID, even though provincial election rules do permit that.
"I've met a lot of people. We've had a lot of thumbs up, a few beeps"
Reardon says her priorities for the next term are growth, prosperity, quality of life and financial stability.
"You really need to look at what brings people to your city," she said.
She's a longtime proponent of active transportation.
"No one checks your pavement index and says, I think I'll move there. They look at a more holistic city. What can you provide for the time off when they're not working? And how would they integrate that into their life and raising a family? Et cetera"
Reardon was one of the councillors who spoke in favour of a heavy truck tax last spring, to help pay for repairs to beat up roads. It was eventually defeated.
Roads represent a huge expense to the city, she said, simply because of its geographic size.
Meanwhile, road spending doesn't get the same return on investment analysis as other categories of city spending, she said.
"We do need them. But how do we get the biggest bang for our buck?"
Partnerships are key to moving the city forward, said Reardon, as well as councillors who are willing to do their homework and be strong leaders.
"You need a team that's going to read the documentation that they're given and make those tough decisions."
The past two councils have had those things, she said.
"Everything we did, we did as a team. ... That's integral to being successful."
Reardon said she sees the mayor's role as pulling the team together, setting out expectations and finding out how council and staff can work together toward long-term goals.
Another priority of hers is regional cooperation.
"I like to think of us as a hub of a wheel and all of those spokes strengthen us."
"We need to make sure that we group them in with our success. And how do we communicate with that group and how do we build a bigger team there?"
Other key partners include: the university, the federal government, the port, and the province, she said.
"So, it's aligning with some of those visions, as well. And just going after them."
Saint John has some of the highest poverty rates in the province. Part of the city's role in addressing that includes advocating for citizens, said Reardon.
She's also interested in supporting developments, such as affordable housing projects, possibly on derelict properties.
"Can we get those and build a land bank with them and put pieces together for affordable housing or for any development? ... There's lots of things that can be done, I think."
But she's not promising anything overnight.
Two other people have also registered as candidates for mayor of Saint John. Darrell Edward Bastarache and Howard A Yeomans are scheduled to speak with CBC later this week.

Saint John Citizens Coalition calls for council to censure mayor for online comments
WATCH: A letter addressed to Saint John Council from a member of the Saint John Citizens Coalition focuses on a Facebook post from July 30 where the member says the mayor incited his social media following against the group. Silas Brown has more – Aug 15, 2019
A Saint John man is asking that Mayor Don Darling be censured due to alleged code of conduct violations.
In a letter obtained by Global News, Douglas James lists a series of online interactions that he believes to be violations of council’s code of conduct policy and requests that Darling be censured.
The alleged violation dates back to a Facebook post from July 30, 2019 when Darling posted a letter received by council from the Saint John Citizens Coalition asking about the mayor’s personal blog initiative GrowSJ. The 13 questions were meant to determine if Darling was using city resources for the project, which the group said would violate the code of conduct.
READ MORE: Saint John Citizens Coalition asks mayor Darling be investigated for code of conduct violations
Darling provided answers to the 13 questions on his Facebook page and admitted that some city resources were used in the production of the blog, but denied any code of conduct violations. But the coalition has since become more concerned with the preamble where they say Darling “publicly criticized the Saint John Citizens Coalition, demeaning citizens in the eyes of the public by suggesting they are just ‘four people’ with a bone to pick.”
Now the group, which bills itself as “a place for discussion of city issues,” is blaming the mayor for inflammatory comments left on the post.
“His preamble served to incite his social media power base against the Saint John Citizens Coalition and the signee of the letter Randall Goodwin,” wrote Douglas James in the latest letter, dated Aug. 13, 2019.
The letter goes on to list several examples of comments from social media users where Goodwin and the coalition are called various names, and in one case threatened with violence. Screenshots of the exchange have been attached to the letter.
“Randall Goodwin is an idiot. I had to block him during the Jellybean Houses discussion because he was irrational, aggressive, and quite frankly, barely literate!” reads one comment.
“He’s a piece of work. I’d gladly slap his teeth down his throat,” says another.
WATCH: Saint John group alleges comments made by mayor Don Darling violates code of conduct
James says that this constitutes a violation of Article 8.7 of the code of conduct that states: “Members of Council shall not engage in or encourage bullying, flaming, or shaming of any other social media users. These types of interactions on social media misplace the focus of interaction on attacking individuals rather than engaging in constructive discussion or debate. This manner of communication is inconsistent with the Code of Conduct and unbecoming of the office that members hold.”
Because the comments happened on Darling’s personal Facebook page that he uses as his primary means of communication with citizens, the group says that he is ultimately responsible for moderation.
“Because Mr. Darling himself was monitoring the posts in real-time and administers the Facebook page himself, he is 100 per cent responsible for ensuring that any such exchange on social media adheres to the standards of common decency, let alone the Code of Conduct for Elected Representatives,” James wrote.
In an interview Thursday James said he doesn’t blame Darling for the comments, but as page administrator, Darling “should be removing some of the comments.”
“(Darling) was the administrator of the site, he did nothing to tell the people to back off, this is getting a bit too personal … and certainly the threat of intimidation and physical violence is unacceptable,” he said.
When asked about the letter Darling said he had yet to see it and would have no comment until after council meets on Monday.
“Basically what we’re being told is we have no right as citizens to speak out against this mayor and common council – that we’re expected to just tow the line and follow whatever they want to do and let them get on with it,” James said.
“In a democracy it is our right. We’re not expected just to vote, we’re expected to hold government to account between elections and that’s what we’re doing.”
A separate letter also penned by James asks that David Merrithew be reprimanded by council due to comments made on the same post.
James says that Merrithew violated Article 8.1 of the code of conduct that states “members of council shall treat every person, including other members of council, City employees and the public with dignity and respect.”
“Again, mocking and disparaging citizens because they choose to express their political views and help educate others on matters of public interest through their written commentary, can hardly be described as dignified and respectful conduct,” James wrote.
Merrithew declined to comment on the letter.
The Saint John Citizens Coalition has said they will be running candidates in the next municipal election in 2020. Randall Goodwin says he started the group after becoming disillusioned with Darling’s performance about five months into his mandate.
Darling has brushed aside criticism from the group in the past, saying that the attacks are personal. Goodwin, who says he worked on Darling’s mayoral campaign, says the group is simply trying to fight for the interests of citizens.
“It’s nothing personal. It’s not a personal attack against Don Darling nor this council. It’s about the accountability of our tax dollars,” Goodwin said.
“We elect 10 representatives as our councillors to represent the citizens of the city of Saint John and that is not taking place."
A Saint John group alleging mayor Don Darling has committed code of conduct violations say they will be making a “significant” submission to council for an upcoming meeting.
This will be the third letter sent to government by the Saint John Citizens Coalition over the last few weeks.
The group initially sent a letter to common council with a list of 13 questions asking if Darling was using city resources for his blog GrowSJ, which was quickly followed up with a letter to the minister responsible for local government to check on code of conduct policy.
In a post online Darling shared the initial letter and admitted that some city resources were being used for what he calls a “brand that was created during my campaign … to present a vision for a growing and thriving Saint John,” but denied that he was violating council’s new code of conduct by doing so.
But in another letter to Jeff Carr, the minister responsible for local government, the group says Darling further violated the code in the preamble to his online response, saying that “he publicly criticized the Saint John Citizens Coalition, demeaning citizens in the eyes of the public by suggesting they are just ‘4 people’ with a bone to pick” and has “publicly humiliated people on various occasions.”
The letter, written by coalition member Douglas James goes on to say that Darling’s behaviour is a violation of article 8.7 of the code of conduct that states:
“Members of Council shall not engage in or encourage bullying, flaming, or shaming of any other social media users. These types of interactions on social media misplace the focus of interaction on attacking individuals rather than engaging in constructive discussion or debate. This manner of communication is inconsistent with the Code of Conduct and unbecoming of the office that Members hold.”

The letter goes on to mention that Darling has blocked citizens from his Facebook page that James argues effectively “serves as a public forum in his role as mayor.”
He goes on to suggest that this is a violation of article 3.7 of the code of conduct that stipulates that elected officials cannot refuse to interact with someone based on any grounds listed in the human rights act.
Being that the Facebook page is Darling’s primary way of communication with citizens James believes that those blocked are being discriminated against due to their political opinions.

All this is prefaced by a request that the minister investigate these alleged code of conduct violations.
In a statement on Friday Erika Jutras, a spokesperson with the department of environment and local government, said that the minister is not responsible for enforcing city council code of conduct violations.
“The province requires local governments to have a code of conduct bylaw but does not approve those bylaws,” she wrote.
“The bylaws are approved by council in accordance with the provincial regulation and include how the council will administer the regulation and deal with complaints of potential violations.”

Coalition member Randall Goodwin says that the intent of the letter was to find out what the policy for code of conduct violations is and says the group has penned another letter to be submitted to council next week.
“This isn’t about vengeance, it’s about accountability,” he said.
When asked about the allegations last week Darling said that they are distracting from the bigger issues the city is facing, such as the ongoing “new deal” negotiations with the province.
“Frankly, I don’t agree,” he said.
“I’m not going to be distracted away from talking about $10 to $12 million gaps and about a thriving, growing future for the city and frankly overwhelmingly the citizens of the city don’t want me distracted.”

Well stated Darrell, to the core realities that we find our city in with the difficulties our citizens live with. We need major change inside City Hall to give hope back to our citizens of Saint John. You certainly stand strong on the front line and this is exactly what this city needs, a mayor that will not bend down to the pressures of big industries that has caused tremendous hardship for our people for decades.This is the chance for the people's voices to be heard in voting for 10 new councillors and mayor to take Saint John forward. Keep pushing hard for our City and our dear people that live here. We need a liveable city, that we certainly don't have now.While gazing at their navels and promoting Saint John as ‘St. Awesome’, a Potemkin-like village that hides the harsh realities of a declining metropolis, they blamed all our problems on 'negativity', denigrating citizens who dared hold them to account, describing us as 'those people', 'that tribe', even 'members of a gang'. Our current leader Don Darling even allowed a threat of physical violence against an outspoken citizen to be posted on his facebook page a clear violation of the Code of Conduct for Elected Representatives. Council did nothing to hold him into account. They accused firefighters and police officers of being 'greedy' and 'not caring for our city'. They blamed the province. They blamed industry. They blamed suburban and rural residents They blamed everyone but themselves for extending a financial crisis into a 5th year and beyond while entirely overlooking their own madness in taking ahighly questionable bailout from a failed provincial government to push their own narrow political interests.Meanwhile on the Westside of Saint John, residents and businesses suffered through a calamity of their own, a fiasco that saw the city fail to do its due diligence before switching 20,000 citizens to well water. Homeowners suffered millions of dollars in flood damages when their pipes burst. Then the water turned foul and half of them had to be switched again, this time to the eastside water system; a temporary fix to a problem that will haunt the city for years to come. How did Mayor Don darling and council respond to this crisis? The current council and Don Darling abandoned the citizens, casting aside their duty as elected representatives and refusing even to speak to those who suffered tremendously. What happened to the spirit of Saint john? Where did the leadership go? Where did the "CITIZENS VOICES GO?" Where did the care and compassion go? Saint John was once the "greatest little city in the east!" It was among the greatest in North America. We need to get this back again. We need to put PEOPLE FIRST!!!!On May 10th, 2021, WE NEED TO VOTE FOR CHANGE!!!!We can do this by electing a new Mayor who is not afraid to put people first and give citizens back their voice!!! We need to also elect 10 progressive councilors who will commit to rebuilding our broke and broken city and reviving the quality of life we all have had before!VOTE SMART, VOTE CHANGE!!!!! PEOPLE FIRST!!!Regards,Darrell E BastaracheMayoral Candidate5 Comments

Controversial candidate for Saint John mayor says he can relate to people
Darrell Bastarache says he'd rather talk issues than about his Facebook posts supporting conspiracy theories
A candidate for mayor of Saint John whose Facebook postings have included support for conspiracy theories and the January attack on the U.S. Capitol says the city needs a leader who doesn't fit the status quo.
"I'm tired of the status quo," Darrell Bastarache, one of four candidates seeking the mayor's job, told Information Morning Saint John on Wednesday.
On Facebook, Bastarache has suggested the COVID-19 pandemic was planned by Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and Dr. Anthony Fauci, the immunologist who advises the U.S. administration about the disease.
Bastarache also commented on a post by his campaign manager, Ed Hoyt, who made light of the violence in Washington over election results, and he called for similar violence in this country.
In the radio interview, Bastarache said he would prefer to talk about campaign issues, but he didn't deny responsibility for the posts, which are no longer visible but were captured in screen shots.
Bastarache, who works in landscaping, suggested he fits into what Saint Johners want in a mayor, someone who has experienced hardship.
"Many citizens that I've talked to, they agree they need a change, and they need somebody that's lived their experiences and lived the same hardships as they have in life," he said.
If he were mayor, he said, he would address poverty in the city by focusing on low-income housing. He said part of the problem is that some landlords are wrestling with regulations and property tax that make it difficult to keep rents down.
He spoke with several landlords this week.
"They say it's hard to lower rents at this time," Bastarache said. "In fact, most have to raise them."
He said economic growth, population growth and tax reform are also issues he cares about.
In the shorter term, Bastarache said he would like to upgrade infrastructure and make the uptown more attractive, with landscaping and better sidewalks.
Campaign aide faces charge
Bastarache said he's lived in Saint john his entire life, despite having opportunities elsewhere.
"I've left twice and returned both times because I get homesick and love our city."
He said he did not want to discuss the future of his campaign manager, Hoyt, who is to be in court April 9 for trial on an assault charge.
"I would just have to wait and see what happens on April 9th and make a decision," Bastarache said.

Mayoral candidate dismisses campaign manager found guilty of assault
Ed Hoyt was found guilty Monday of assaulting a woman
Saint John mayoral candidate Darrell Bastarache has dismissed his campaign manager after the man was found guilty of assaulting a woman.
Ed Hoyt was found guilty by Judge David Walker on Monday, and is scheduled for sentencing June 25.
"Immediate dismissal," Bastarache said when reached by phone Monday afternoon.
Bastarache initially refused to comment on the charges in an interview with Information Morning Saint John at the end of March, saying he wanted to wait and see what happened in court before he made a decision.
On Monday, Bastarache said he had already decided to fire Hoyt, even before he was found guilty.
"I don't condone anything Ed has done," he said. " I spoke to Ed a couple of weeks ago saying that I was going to let him go either way because of all the unforeseen publicity that we've been getting."
He said he had started decreasing Hoyt's responsibilities a few weeks ago, but will now fire him. He said he hasn't found a replacement.
Community reaction
Bastarache said he initially didn't want to fire Hoyt "for the sake of fairness."
"I don't know the full details, and ... innocent until proven guilty sort of thing," he said.
But he said he got "hundreds of emails", including some from women asking him about the assault allegations against Hoyt.
"They say, 'But I still advise you that he's not good for your campaign'," he said.

PANB Launches Association in Minister Jack Keir's Riding
Supporters met with Ed Hoyt (middle above) and PANB executives last
night at Grand Bay-Westfield to form the 4th official riding association
of PANB. After the formalities and short speeches by Ed and PANB
Interim Leader Kris Austin (left above), the folks in attendance
discussed various issues, concerns and approaches that the party can
consider. Leader Kris Austin spoke of his optimism for the party,
outlining the status of the various riding associations that are
currently being formed. He expects formal registering of the party will
be concluded in late May with the PANB General Meeting being scheduled
for early June. In Photo: Kris Austin(Interm Leader of PANB), Anne Marie
Poirier (V.P. of Riding Association), Edward Hoyt, Tracy L Mayhew
(Secretary/Treasurer of Riding Association), and Tammy Archer (Deputy
Mayor, town of Grand Bay-Westfield).
Why vote for Edward Hoyt
and have saw the value of how the power of thepeople can change a stand that is detrimental to the Province. I have watched too many of the people I grew up within Lorneville, Grand-Bay/ Westfield and the rest of our riding become very disenfranchised from the government some to the point of not even bothering to vote in elections. I have sat and spoken with so many people on the issues that effect them I believe I can relate to the voters of this riding and understand their concerns.
We all at one time or another, have sent in for some obscure government form, for whatever reason only to wait six months for something that should have been returned in two days. This the Silo's of bureaucratic duplication need to be addressed and automated properly.
The other thing I find arrogant on the behalf of the MLA is form letters. The MLA can not take 5 minutes out to email or call back someone that elected them. This is one thing I promise that I will do and that is address each person that emails me or calls. I will not say it will always be the answer you want but certainly will say or write my reasoning why I am leaning the specific way on that issue. I will keep an open mind and certainly discuss with the person. Most of us have seen the antics and theatre taking place in the Legislature, behaviour one would expect to see at a elementary school playground.I, for one, am fed up with it. One thing I will say is I do not know everything this is probably the foremost differentiating factor between myself and the other candidates: I admit it. It is not my purpose to try to sell you those answers, especially based on promises I have neither the ability nor the intention of keeping. These are the methods by which the two ruling parties have established their entrenchment upon the government of this Province, and it has resulted in voter apathy and massive mistrust.
My purpose is different. What I offer, instead of false unfounded answers, is my level best effort to understand the questions. To educate myself on the issues to the best of my abilities as I have done consistently for the last 10 years, using every tool at my disposal, and most importantly: to vote upon the issues in a manner reflective of the wishes of the people with my riding. I will not participate in the back-and-forth antics of bickering employed by the current parties, but to listen and to learn, to read and communicate, unencumbered by a Party Line. This was one of my motivating factors from leaving the fold of the PC Party. Rather than blind faith in the words of proven practitioners of deceit, I propose to develop an informed opinion on whatever issue is at hand, and to speak with your voice in mind .I urge you to consider me as a credible alternative to the current style of Politician we have today on the ballot, and I look forward to sharing with you my ideas on how we might make a presence in the Legislature in September.

No rules for municipal election spending in N.B.
Some municipal election candidates are questioning where the money is coming from to finance certain campaigns.
There are no rules in New Brunswick to govern how candidates raise and spend money, no donation limits and no requirement to disclose donor information.
The Saint John Firefighters Association has been spending a significant amount of money for roadside signs and flyers promoting certain candidates for May 12's municipal election, said association member Terry Graham.
Graham has been distributing flyers door to door and putting up signs showing the firefighters' support of certain candidates.
In a federal election, the association would have exceeded the $3,000 special interesting spending limit for a single local campaign.
But in New Brunswick's municipal elections, none of the election spending is required to be accounted for.
"There are really no guidelines or regulations in place that tell a candidate how much they're allowed to spend during their campaign or how much they're allowed to take in as contributions for their campaign," said Paul Harpelle, spokesman for Elections New Brunswick.
Calls for disclosure
Theresa Debly is running for Saint John council on a $1,000 budget. About $500 has been spent on handouts for the campaign.
It's tough to compete against other candidates spending tens of thousands of dollars, Debly said. The public should know who is supplying the money being spent on municipal campaigns, she said.
"I don't see why you would distinguish provincial and federal from municipal," Debly said. "Why isn't it appropriate at all three levels if it is appropriate at two … because there is big money. There are developers who back candidates. There's all kinds of things happening."
Firefighter association president Chuck Hickey said the firefighters have been criticized for their support on the campaign and some of their signs have been vandalized.
But the association's support of certain candidates is in the open, Hickey said.
"We've chosen to show the public we are supporting them and we're not afraid to say who we think is the right person," he said.

Brian Hicks calls for more municipal election accountability
Municipal election candidates aren't required to disclose funding sources or limit spending
· CBC News · Posted: Jan 08, 2016 7:50 AM AT
Moncton Coun. Brian Hicks thinks municipal elections candidates should face spending limits and be required to disclose the sources of campaign funding. (CBC)
The lack of regulations regarding political campaign funding at the municipal level could pose problems in May's elections, says a Moncton city councillor.
While candidates in federal and provincial elections must comply with rules around election spending, anyone running at the municipal level does not have to disclose the sources of their campaign funding, nor is there a ceiling on how much they can spend.
That doesn't sit well with Brian Hicks, a veteran Moncton councillor, who was first elected in 1999.
Hicks said he feels provincial laws should be updated to make campaign funding more transparent and equal for all municipal candidates.
It's just for openness and transparency.
- Brian Hicks, Moncton councillor
"It's just for openness and transparency," said Hicks.
"In council, it's very unique where you have 11 people sitting and many times you'll get, especially on land re-zoning issues, people coming before council.
"And right now, you have no idea if that individual has donated financially to any one of the elected representatives on council. I think that should be public."
Not a new issue
The issue also surfaced prior to the province's municipal elections in 2008 and 2012.
In 2011, Moncton council passed a motion recommending the Cities of New Brunswick Association and the Association of Francophone Municipalities take the issue to the Department of Local Government.
Hicks admits he gets unsolicited campaign donations from time to time.
"I've received cheques in the past. I do the same thing every year. I'll void the cheque and send them back a note thanking them … everybody runs their campaign differently."
Risk higher in larger centres
Failing to limit campaign spending and disclose donors could open the door to political interference, and should be a bigger concern to the public, according to one expert.
Geoff Martin, a political science professor at Mount Allison University, says the risk is more pronounced in larger centres.
I suspect we don't have much in the way of brown envelopes of cash being handed over.
- Geoff Martin, political science professor
"I suspect we don't have much in the way of brown envelopes of cash being handed over, but there may be an issue of, particularly when people are running expensive campaigns in an urban environment, the secrecy of who is providing donations to which candidates and what kind of decisions they make," he said.
The Liberal party's election platform in 2014 said it would look into the issue.
The Liberals stated they would keep government more accountable by, "Exploring appropriate limits and public disclosure of spending and donations for municipal elections."
Elections NB says they have not yet received any instructions regarding changes to the policy.
The Department of Local Government says they are continuing to work on the issue.

Municipal election campaign disclosure law in the works
Rules requiring candidates to make public any donations to campaigns will come by 2018, minister says
· CBC News · Posted: Feb 16, 2017 4:00 PM AT
Local Government Minister Serge Rousselle now says the government will keep a promise to require public disclosure of municipal campaign donations. (Jacques Poitras/CBC)
The Gallant government now says it will introduce rules to require the disclosure of municipal campaign donations before the fall of 2018.
"We are intending to do this during this mandate as promised," Environment and Local Government Minister Serge Rousselle told reporters Thursday.
He couldn't say exactly when the legislation will come because it won't come under his department, he said.
Promised in 2014 campaign
The 2014 Liberal platform promised that the government would explore such a law.
On Wednesday, Rousselle introduced two bills that will give municipalities broad new powers, including the ability to hand out job-creation grants to private companies.
That raised the possibility of mayors and municipal councillors handing out money to companies without the public knowing whether those companies donated to their campaigns.
Provincial election laws require provincial parties and leadership candidates to disclose who writes cheques to fund their campaigns, but no such requirement exists at the municipal level.
- Municipalities 'get freedom to be creative' in attracting jobs
- Brian Hicks calls for more municipal election accountability
- No rules for municipal election spending in N.B.
On Wednesday Rousselle said such legislation "is not on the plate today. It will be in the future."
Thursday he was more precise.
"It was one of our promises in the last election in 2014," he said. "I can certainly tell you that it will be during this mandate."
The law that will allow municipal job-creation grants will take effect next January.
The next municipal elections take place in May 2020, though byelections for vacant mayor and councillor positions are held every spring and fall.
Larry's Gulch list raises 'serious legal implications': AG
Attorney General Serge Rousselle says number of Tory partisans at fishing lodge raises legal questions
The Larry’s Gulch controversy took two dramatic new turns at the legislature on Friday.
The Liberal government is raising the possibility of "serious legal implications" for the Progressive Conservative Party, while the release of more guests lists reveal a Liberal MLA also hosted former Times & Transcript editor Murray Guy.
"There have been suggestions, allegations that [on] some of the lists over the last few years … the only link between those people is the Conservative party," Attorney General Serge Rousselle told reporters.
"We are very concerned with that. Given the fact that there could be serious legal implications, I cannot comment further than that."
The 2013 guest list includes a July 10 to 12 trip booked by then-premier David Alward’s office that included Alward; Jason Stephen, the president of the PC Party; Lisa Merrithew, a Tory supporter and former communications adviser to the Lord government; and Saint John Mayor Mel Norton.
Stephen’s name appears on a subsequent 2013 booking that also included Alward, several PC MLAs and party insiders and Robert Hatheway, who is the PC party’s official representative.
A July 9 to 11, 2014, booking also includes several Tory insiders, including the party’s executive director, Jean-Paul Soucy and Michel Leger, a Shediac lawyer who oversaw Alward’s campaign bus tour that began a month later.
After telling CBC News for two days he was willing to be interviewed, Alward said in an email message on Friday morning that he would not talk about his government’s use of the fishing lodge.
"We are finished speaking about Larry’s Gulch," Alward wrote.
"As I have said before, I am looking forward to the results of an independent review. There are other important issues currently going unreported."
The lodge is supposed to be used for government meetings and rentals, not for partisan purposes.
Speaker also invited newspaper editor
A 2012 financial report by the Progressive Conservative Party lists $623.29 paid to Darell Fowlie, Alward’s deputy minister of communications, for an item listed only as "Larry’s Gulch."
Fowlie is the official who, according to Brunswick News, was asked to alter records of a trip to the fishing lodge by Moncton Times & Transcript editor Murray Guy.
Guy made a total of three trips to Larry’s Gulch: two with NB Liquor CEO Daniel Allain in 2011 and 2013 when the PCs were in power, and one in 2010 with Chris Collins, who was then environment and local government minister in the government of Shawn Graham, and now speaker of the legislature.
Collins says his 2010 invitation to Guy happened spontaneously when he and other Liberal cabinet ministers were holding an editorial board meeting with the Times & Transcript. Al Hogan, the senior editor who was fired over Guy’s 2013 fishing trip, was also in the meeting, Collins said.
Larry’s Gulch came up, Collins said, and "Murray said he had never been there, and I was asked if I had any space on the trip that I would be going on in a week or two, and I said, 'Yeah.’ I had had two cancellations from two mayors."
The suggestion didn’t come from Guy, Collins said, but from another elected Liberal in the editorial board. Collins wouldn’t say who it was.
I’ve received no favours from the editorial board of the Times & Transcript following that … I had no benefit from doing it, other than the great company of Murray.
- Chris Collins, speaker of the legislature
The Larry’s Gulch trip was organized to hold meetings with municipal and business leaders, Collins said. He said he wasn’t trying to get positive coverage from the Times & Transcript.
"In fact, I’ve received no favours from the editorial board of the Times & Transcript following that," he said. "I had no benefit from doing it, other than the great company of Murray."
Collins said Guy didn’t offer him communications advice and didn’t take part in any of the sensitive government meetings.
Guy left that job earlier this month after Brunswick News learned he took a trip to the lodge in 2013 with NB Liquor and its PC-appointed chief executive officer, Daniel Allain. Brunswick News says Guy sought to have a Tory government official conceal the trip from the public record.
In 2012, Collins suggested in an e-mail released to the media that he had a good rapport with the Times & Transcript, his local newspaper.
Collins wrote to Mike Murphy, then a Liberal leadership candidate, that if Brian Gallant won the top job and blocked him from running for the party in Moncton East, "I will run … as an independent and TT will support my move."
The email became public when Collins mistakenly attached it to another email sent to all Liberal MLAs.
Collins did run for the Liberals last year, was elected and was chosen as Speaker by Gallant.
"There was no way there was any correlation between that and the trip," Collins said Friday. "That was a very charged email and it had nothing to do with the visit or anything at Larry’s Gulch."
Collins said he was "so busy" in 2010 that he didn’t reflect on whether accepting the trip represented a conflict of interest for Guy. "I can understand why the perception would be that journalists should make other decisions."

Saint John Mayor Mel Norton is not responding to inquiries about a trip to Larry's Gulch as a guest of then-premier David Alward in 2013.
The trip included communications experts from at least three private firms.
Norton has never run provincially, but last year he refused to rule out running for the Progressive Conservative leadership after his term as Saint John's mayor expires in 2016. His rhetoric in support of resource development in recent years was similar to the Conservatives campaign message in 2014.
Chris Dever, a spokesman for Saint John, said Norton was invited to Larry's Gulch in his capacity as mayor.
Jason Stephen, the president of the Progressive Conservative Party, was part of the group. He has not responded to an inquiry from CBC.CBC News attempted to reach nearly every one of the 16 people on the guest list for July 10 to 13, 2013 at the provincially-owned fishing lodge.
Most of those who responded are tight-lipped about the outing.
And no one is admitting that any political or election strategy was discussed in their presence.
The provincial election was then just over a year away in September 2014.
Businessman Glenn Munro was part of the group. He's a managing partner for eastern Canada for the North American Development Group.
Murno says between fishing outings on the tip he was part of casual discussions about getting big projects moving in New Brunswick, but says nothing specific was discussed.
"I'm not a player," said Munro.
"My political stripes are definitely not blue."
Larry's Gulch has exclusive access to some of the best salmon fishing on the Restigouche River. (CBC)
Sampson is a consultant with Public Affairs Atlantic in Halifax. He says even with the communications strategists in the group, he witnessed nothing election related.
"You wouldn't have those people doing an election strategy discussion," said Sampson.
"You know they came from different backgrounds with different perspectives. Many of us weren't New Brunswick people."
Sampson, who is based in Montreal and Halifax, does have a cottage on Deer Island and concedes he did do volunteer work during the New Brunswick election — but says he did not come to the province to do it.
Among the other guests was Mark Spiro of Crestview Strategy, whose biography says he has "organized and executed campaigns for both political and corporate clients".
Luc Ouellet was also there. He is managing partner with National Public Relations out of Quebec City. His biography says he specializes in "government relations and crisis management."
Also with National Public Relations — and on the trip — was Stephanie Bell, who is married to Saint John Mayor Mel Norton.
Bell was reached by CBC by telephone but would not discuss the Larry's Gulch trip.
Norton Wins Saint John – Rothesay Conservative Nomination
Former Saint John Mayor Mel Norton is the Conservative party candidate in the federal riding of Saint John – Rothesay. Norton topped challenger Faytene Grasseschi during online voting earlier this week and a drive through vote today.
Riding Association president – Jake Stackhouse – says 88-percent of the registered membership voted – he calls it “unprecedented turnout for this riding.”
Norton served one term as mayor and did not seek re-election in 2016. Later that same year he ran for the provincial Conservative party leadership and was defeated by now Premier Blaine Higgs on the third ballot.
The riding is currently held by Liberal MP Wayne Long who is in his second term.
Saint John – Rothesay Conservatives Picking Candidate
Local Conservative party members are scoring a “first” within the party as they choose their candidate for the next federal election. Riding Association president – Jake Stackhouse – tells newsysj.ca this is the first riding association in the country to use a secure online voting process. He says over 60-percent of the 1000-registered members have opted to use the online voting process.
Two candidates are in the running – local lawyer and former Saint John mayor Mel Norton and Faytene Grasseschi with a background in business and lobbying on Parliament Hill.
Stackhouse says this is the first contested party nomination in the riding for a very long time and both candidates have been working hard to sign up supporters. He says he is “excited to have this kind of interest.”
Online voting is open now and there will also be a drive through voting option on Saturday at the Diamond Jubilee Cruise terminal on Water Street with the winner being announced sometime Saturday evening.

Harper organizer appointed to bench
New Brunswick lawyer Richard Bell has 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 for 26 years and is bilingual.He also has an interesting political history.
A former federal 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.

Bench patronage appointments
Some of us nurtured the hope, however slender, that in the brave new world of Harper political ideology, the government could muster the moral courage to break Canada's long-standing patronage tradition in making federal judicial appointments.
Alas, it did not take the Harper administration long to dispel our illusions. The appointment last week of Richard Bell to the Court of Queen's Bench in New Brunswick is an archetypal example of political patronage, as the media were quick to note. Mr. Bell co-chaired the Conservative campaign in N.B. in the past two federal elections and was an organizer for Mr. Harper's leadership campaign in 2002.
Apologists for Mr. Bell's appointment argue political activity shouldn't disqualify a candidate for judicial office. Those of us who have long argued for a merit-based system of appointments have not suggested it should. We have said cabinet, and the justice minister in particular, should not make appointive decisions where the appointee is a prominent party member. Better still, cabinet should not be involved in appointments below the Supreme Court level.
As far back as 1985, separate reports by special committees of the Canadian Bar Association and the Canadian Association of Law Teachers called for representative advisory committees that would present the justice minister with a shortlist of the best-qualified candidates, and limiting the minister's choice to one of the names.
The same recommendation was adopted in the fall in one of the Commons justice committee's last reports before Parliament's dissolution.
Canada has no system of advisory committees at the federal level. Instead, screening committees review applications for appointments and advise the minister whether a candidate is recommended or highly recommended, or whether the committee makes no recommendation. Since many applicants make the recommended list, it leaves cabinet with plenty of room to make partisan appointments even though much better qualified candidates are available.
The Commons committee agreed with the many witnesses who had appeared before it calling for the establishment of meaningful advisory committees. Particularly striking was the evidence of former chief justice Constance Glube of the N.S. Supreme Court. She told the committee successive federal justice ministers almost always ignored her advice when aides called to seek her views about which candidates were best suited to fill a vacancy on her court.
Justice Minister Vic Toews was co-chair of the committee that unanimously recommended changing the existing system of appointments. Seemingly, he has had a change of heart: Recently, he was quoted as saying he thought the existing system works "relatively well." Ministerial amnesia?
Since committee recommendations alone haven't brought the needed changes, stronger medicine seems called for. I suggest a constitutional approach.
In 1997, the top court ruled that the federal and provincial governments were obliged to establish independent compensation commissions to make recommendations on salaries and other benefits payable to federally and provincially appointed judges, because it was improper for judges to negotiate compensation issues directly with the two levels of government. The Supreme Court reasoned that direct negotiations would impair the appearance of the independence of the judiciary, particularly in criminal cases (where the Crown is almost always a party), and in other cases in which the two levels of government often also are involved.
The appearance of judicial independence is even more compromised when cabinet has nearly unfettered discretion in making judicial appointments, and often uses it for purposes that have little to do with the intrinsic merits of the appointee. As an English judge wrote two centuries ago (albeit in a different context), the stream of justice can be poisoned before it even begins to flow. The means to rid the judicial waters of their pollutants are readily to hand. It is surely time we used them.

Quispamsis and Rothesay growth rate catching up to Saint John
Kennebecasis Valley communities close in on rate of growth in assessment base
Saint John's suburban neighbours in the Kennebecasis Valley are closing in on the city when it comes to growth.
Over the past year, the two communities posted a combined $112 million increase in assessment while much larger Saint John showed a $126 million increase.
That amounts to a 4.1 percent increase for Quispamsis, where Mayor Gary Clark says the town has been promoting multi-unit projects.
"It's residential," said Clark. "More people are moving into Quispamsis. We've approved several apartment buildings in the area."
Clark said those include two 36-unit buildings on Merritt Hill overlooking the Kennebecasis River, a 42-unit building on Hampton Road, and a mixed single-family townhouse and apartment building complex off Millennium Drive.
Total growth in the 2019 assessment base amounts to more than $69 million.
In adjacent Rothesay, assessment growth for this year amounts to more than $42 million, with a number of multi-unit projects expected to be completed in coming months.
Saint John Mayor Don Darling showed dismay at a December council meeting while comparing the valley's growth numbers with those of the city.
"Rothesay and Quispamsis had $112 million. How is that even possible?" he asked.
Darling said the city would have the province's highest assessment base by far, the best roads and lowest taxes if the system of local government operated as it should.
"We're out of balance," he said.
Clark said he's not apologizing for the town's success at attracting development.
"We recognize that there are concerns in Saint John, we co-operate with our neighbours and will continue to do that in the future."
While pacing the city in terms of growth the two KV communities' combined assessment base of $3.04 billion remains well behind the city's $6.7 billion.
And it's not yet clear how much the Kennebecasis Valley's assessment growth will translate into population growth.
As in Saint John, Rothesay's population declined slightly in the 2016 census.
A town official said growth in population will depend on whether buyers can be found for the homes soon to be vacated by those moving into the apartment buildings now under construction.
Quispamsis was one of the few Saint John-area communities that showed a increase in population in that latest census but it amounted to just 304 souls.

Had an accident in Saint John? You may get a bill from the city
Auto insurance policy may or may not cover emergency response fees
· CBC News · Posted: Feb 27, 2020 7:00 AM AT
Firefighters in Saint John responding to an accident. In the near future, out-of-town visitors may be billed for the emergency response. (CBC)
Saint John Council will vote next month on a proposal to charge fees to recover costs for many fire department responses.
One of those charges would see bills mailed to non-residents involved in car accidents inside city limits.
The fees are included in a long list of options under consideration to deal with the city's anticipated $10 million deficits in 2021 and 2022.
Other emergency response fees are being considered for commercial, industrial or institutional fires, hazardous material calls and such things as high angle or water rescues and elevator incidents.
Rothesay body shop owner David Brown thinks the motor vehicle response charge is a bad idea that will only create division between communities, and might even discourage people from calling 911.
"I think that's ridiculous," said Brown, who owns Autobody Plus. "I hope that never passes, anything like that where we start to segregate towns and start to isolate people. We should be light years past that by now."
Saint John deputy chief Rob Nichol says the department currently does not have fees for any emergency service.
But such charges are not unusual in some Canadian provinces.
Ontario and Alberta communities have the option to charge vehicle owners directly or indirectly for responses to motor vehicle accidents.
Ontario also pays local fire departments $450 dollars for the first hour for a response to accidents on provincially designated highways.
Those fees are then passed along to the vehicle owner.
Alberta's Safety Codes Act allows municipalities to charge for any emergency service they choose.
For the City of Red Deer, that extends to all emergency responses, even house fires.
In the case of motor vehicle accidents the car owner is charged $615 for the first hour or part hour that emergency responders are on scene, and half that amount for every half hour beyond that.
The fee is the same for both residents and non-residents.
The Insurance Bureau of Canada says many, but not all, motorists in New Brunswick will then be able to pass those fees along to their insurance companies.
"Insurance would cover it if you had collision coverage," said Amanda Dean, the bureau's vice president for the Atlantic region. "It's optional. If it's an older vehicle, you don't necessarily have that coverage."
Leased vehicles, in all cases, would be covered.
But Dean says, if insurers find themselves processing a lot of those claims, it could lead to an increase in car insurance rates.

***Please be advised that this email address is no longer in use***
Thank you for taking the time to write to me. Feedback from the people
we represent is always extremely valuable for members of parliament,
and especially valuable to me as Prime Minister.
However as you can imagine I receive a very large, sometimes
dauntingly large, amount of correspondence and it is important that we
do everything we can to respond to it as quickly and effectively as
possible.
So to help us best direct your enquiry and respond to it, please
complete this contact form. If you have written a detailed message in
your email, just cut and paste it into the contact form and complete
the details requested.
If you would like to invite me or Lucy to an event, please forward the
invitation to pminvites@pmc.gov.au.
If you are a Wentworth constituent, please make us aware of this and
my electorate office team in Edgecliff will be in touch.
Regards,
Malcolm Turnbull
Prime Minister

>>> REASONS 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

City Manager
Saint John Common Council appointed Major-General (Retired) John Collin as City Manager of the City of Saint John, January 2019.
“This is an important leadership role within the municipality and we are delighted to have attracted broad interest from top candidates across the country,” says Mayor Don Darling. “Mr Collin was selected for his leadership track record, his commitment to creating an exceptional customer service culture, his broader public sector experience and for his drive, clear focus, high-level collaboration and strategic communication skills. We look forward to him leading our organization.”
Mr. Collin faithfully served his country as part of the Canadian Army for 35 years, retiring as a “two-star” general. He then worked as a senior executive with Bruce Power, the world’s largest nuclear power generator. He is also a successful small-business owner; having designed and operated a fine-dining restaurant.
Public Safety Committee on Dec. 1st, 2010
Evidence of meeting #44 for Public Safety and National Security in the 40th Parliament, 3rd Session. (The original version is on Parliament’s site, as are the minutes.) The winning word was summits.
December 1st, 2010 / 3:40 p.m.
BGen John Collin Chief of Staff, Canada Command, Department of National Defence
Thank you very much.
I'd like to thank the committee for the opportunity to explain the role and actions of the Canadian Forces during the G-8 and G-20 summits and also to address any questions or concerns that committee members may have.
I'm here today in two capacities. First, I am currently the chief of staff of Canada Command, the organization that is responsible for all routine and contingency domestic operations, less air defence, which remains a NORAD responsibility. Second, and perhaps equally important, in my previous job I was the Canadian Forces joint task force commander for the G-8 and G-20 summits, and as such was responsible for all the tactical planning and execution of the military operations associated with the summits.
In these short opening remarks, I would simply like to offer a few main themes and also describe in broad terms the primary functions undertaken by the Canadian Forces during the summits.
First and foremost, it is important to remember that the Canadian Forces were in support of law enforcement agencies; we were not the lead. You are aware that the overall responsibility for summit security rested with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Working with them and other police forces of jurisdiction, the Canadian Forces developed plans and executed operations as part of the larger team, but always in support of requirements and requests from our law enforcement partners.
Specifically, the Canadian Forces provided, either directly or indirectly, support to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Ontario Provincial Police, Toronto Police Services, and Peel Regional Police. Throughout and consistent with normal practice and government policy, the Canadian Forces focused on providing capabilities that are unique to the military or capabilities that were clearly beyond the capacity of the first responders. Our main roles can be summarized in four broad areas.
First, the Canadian Forces, working within the bi-national command known as NORAD, were responsible for Air Defence. This is a standing task for Canada's military, which is executed 365 days a year. For the summits, there were increased demands in the form of "restricted flight zones" and increased forces required to satisfy the demands and potential threats, but, essentially, the task was one which our military executes on a regular and continuous basis.
Next, the Canadian Forces contributed significantly to surveillance and early warning. We did this with ground, air, and, to a limited degree, naval resources. Our main task was to ensure that all potential hazards and threats were identified and communicated quickly and accurately to the decision-makers for action.
The Canadian Forces also provided military air transport with both fixed-wing airplanes and rotary-wing helicopters in support of the summits. Tasks included the transportation of the heads of state and other VIPs to and from the G-8 summit location and administrative transport of some police forces to alternate locations. We were also prepared to execute other tasks, such as emergency air evacuation of the heads of state, rapid delivery of police emergency response teams, and emergency medical evacuation. In the end, none of these tasks were required.
Finally, the CF provided assistance in establishing and then operating the command and control architecture for the summits. To be clear, we did not lead this effort nor were we the only agency to contribute to it, but, our past experiences and our integral capabilities were used to enhance the capabilities at various command nodes; most notably at the RCMP led Integrated Security Unit and Unified Command Centre at Barrie, Ontario.
As a sidebar comment, it is important to also remember that the Canadian Forces were not asked, nor would we have entertained the request even if asked, to conduct crowd-control operations or what police forces call public order duties. Maintaining public order is clearly a police responsibility, and the Canadian Forces are neither trained nor equipped to fulfill that role. For that matter, we also did not undertake any of what might be termed traditional police functions such as arrests and evidence-gathering. These limitations on the use of Canadian Forces personnel were clearly understood by all of our security partners and led to no difficulties whatsoever in our ability to support the police in the four broad areas I have just outlined.
To accomplish this support, the Canadian Forces contributed approximately 3,000 personnel dispersed primarily in and around Huntsville, the Lester B. Pearson Airport in Toronto, the Toronto waterfront, at various command and control nodes, and in the skies overhead. The majority of the elements were deployed for no more than 25-30 days and this included all of their movement and training requirements.
The initial budget allocated to the Department of National Defence was approximately $77 million, of which, although the final figures have yet to be tallied, we expect to have expended only approximately $20 million, or 26%. The significant reduction can be attributed to several cost-saving measures that were implemented and the fact that since everything went according to plan, contingency funds, which were approximately $20 million, did not need to be used.
Overall, from a CF perspective, the planning and execution of the summits were resounding successes. I was quite pleased with the leadership and competencies demonstrated by our police partners, and together we formed an outstanding team. As the Canadian Forces joint task force commander, I must close by stating how impressed I was with the professionalism and accomplishments of all CF personnel associated with the summits. I know I also speak for the entire senior leadership of the Canadian Forces when I state that we would have it no other way, and that our men and women in uniform continue to do us proud.
Thank you very much.

Saint John pushes for province to act on tax changes immediately
City manager says New Brunswick should move on requests during pandemic to assist recovery
· CBC News · Posted: Apr 21, 2020 3:49 PM AT
Saint John city manager John Collin, shown last year, urged the province to quickly address its requests for measures to deal with projected deficits during a news conference Tuesday. (Connell Smith, CBC)
The City of Saint John is urging the provincial government to immediately allow it to collect millions from industry and neighbouring communities.
John Collin, the city manager, told reporters during a news conference Tuesday that he believes the province can implement the changes while addressing the coronavirus pandemic.
"There is no more important time than now to deal with the systemic issues so that when COVID-19 is over, and we are talking about recovery, our recovery can be supercharged," Collin said.
The pandemic has resulted in the province focusing on essential services and the legislature has reduced the time it sits to only brief periods to quickly pass legislation.
Collin said the city has studied the issue, prepared a plan and now needs provincial action.
We are dealing with both as two different beasts that need to be wrestled to the ground
- John Collin, Saint John's city manager
He said both issues are connected, as each will affect city finances, but the pandemic will pass and the systemic issue will remain if left unaddressed.
"We are dealing with both as two different beasts that need to be wrestled to the ground," Collin said.
Jeff Carr, minister of Environment and Local Government, did not provide an interview.
A written statement attributed to Carr did not directly address if the province supports the measures.
Carr said he's "encouraged to see options that demonstrate significant and substantial steps" to address the city's finances.
Jeff Carr, New Brunswick's minister of Environment and Local Government, didn't directly address whether the province will support the city's immediate requests. (CBC)
The city's request was included in a plan presented to Saint John council Monday evening to address anticipated deficits of $10 million in 2021 and 2022.
The city wants provincial permission to collect an initial $6 million annually from outlying communities. It has proposed either road tolls at major entry points, or a special property tax levy.
It would apply to towns and local service districts within the region, Collin said.
It also wants the province to turn its portion of the property tax collected from heavy industry, about $8 million annually, over to the city on a trial basis.
The steps are considered an interim measure until the province is able to implement a promised overhaul of the property tax system.
Collin told reporters Tuesday those broader changes would likely take years to have in place.
The Progressive Conservative government committed to broad property tax reform last year as part of an effort to address the city's finances.
Mayor Don Darling said representatives of outlying communities are aware of the proposals.
The provincial changes would be in addition to cuts to the city's budget.
Those include cuts to fire, police and other city employees to save $5 million of the city's roughly $90 million spending on employees per year.
"This is not a large, or dramatic, reduction to our total people budget," the city manager said.
Collin wouldn't provide any specifics about the proposed impact to police and fire service, saying the city is still going through the collective bargaining process with several unions.
The proposal also calls for closing one of the city's arenas. Collin said no decision has been made on which one and that a staff recommendation will go to council sometime in the future.
The overall plan outlined Monday requires council approval, with a vote set for May 4.
Methinks I am experiencing Deja Vu today or Don Darling's woes with Higgy's mandate have become a media magnet all of a sudden N'esy Pas?
It might be that the economics of tax and spend policy has finally collapsed....which was ridiculously easy to predict.

Experience
Meet The Future Faces Of Medicine In New Brunswick
A record 42 New Brunswickers will receive scholarships from the New Brunswick Medical Education Foundation Inc. (NBMEDI) in an online ceremony on September 24.
The foundation wants to showcase the future physicians of the province so it’s inviting the public to register and view the event online. The event has moved online this year to protect students and the public during the Covid-19 pandemic, but still give people the opportunity to celebrate the students that received scholarships, which totalled $304,000 this year.
“What a great opportunity to celebrate our best and brightest students who will attend medical school and practice right here in New Brunswick,” says Carol Chapman, a Moncton-Shediac based board member and chair of the foundation advancement committee. “We have students from every corner of the province that will support the growing demands on our healthcare system.”
The foundation is the only not-for-profit organization in Canada dedicated to providing scholarships to New Brunswick residents who pledge a return to a service agreement to practice here.
Launched in 2010 by Dr. Donald Craig, the foundation has since become an important part of addressing the shortage of doctors in the province, awarding 292 scholarships to date and growing every year to meet the increasing demand.
“There are over 40,000 people on the waiting list for a family physician in this province and every one of these graduates means an opportunity to take more patients off that list. An increase of physicians also means more opportunities for business to set up in our province and grow our communities,” said Chapman.
If you would like to learn more about the New Brunswick Medical
Education Foundation and how to support its efforts to keep our future

>>> (Delivered orally from the Bench in Fredericton, New Brunswick, on

>>>
>>> The Plaintiff seeks an appeal de novo, by way of motion pursuant to

>>> 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;

>>> Sergeant Danny Copp; my former colleagues on the New Brunswick Court
>>> of Appeal, Justices Bradley V. Green and Kathleen Quigg, and, retired

>>> In the circumstances, given the threat in 2004 to sue me in my

>> (and formerly Respondent)
>> REASONS 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

>> 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

>> 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?
>>
>> IV. Analysis
>>
>> A. Standard of Review
>>
>> [27] Following the Judge’s decision to set aside the
>> Prothonotary’s Order, this Court revisited the standard of review to
>> be applied to discretionary decisions of prothonotaries and decisions
>> made by judges on appeals of prothonotaries’ decisions in Hospira
>> Healthcare Corp. v. Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, 2016 FCA 215,
>> 402 D.L.R. (4th) 497 [Hospira]. In Hospira, a five-member panel of
>> this Court replaced the Aqua-Gem standard of review with that
>> 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
>> assessment of Mr. Amos’ Claim for that of the Prothonotary. This Court
>> must look to the Prothonotary’s Order to determine whether the Judge
>> erred in law or made a palpable and overriding error in choosing to
>> interfere.
>>
>>
>> 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
>> included the RCMP (Federal Court Judgment at para. 23). In considering
>> the viability of these allegations de novo, the Judge identified
>> paragraph 14 of the Claim as containing “some precision” as it
>> identifies the date of the event and a RCMP officer acting as
>> Aide-de-Camp to the Lieutenant Governor (Federal Court Judgment at
>> para. 27).
>>
>>
>> [31] The Judge noted that the 2004 event could support a
>> cause of action in the tort of misfeasance in public office and
>> identified the elements of the tort as excerpted from Meigs v. Canada,
>> 2013 FC 389, 431 F.T.R. 111:
>>
>>
>> [13] As in both the cases of Odhavji Estate v Woodhouse, 2003 SCC
>> 69 [Odhavji] and Lewis v Canada, 2012 FC 1514 [Lewis], I must
>> determine whether the plaintiffs’ statement of claim pleads each
>> element of the alleged tort of misfeasance in public office:
>>
>> a) The public officer must have engaged in deliberate and unlawful
>> conduct in his or her capacity as public officer;
>>
>> b) The public officer must have been aware both that his or her
>> conduct was unlawful and that it was likely to harm the plaintiff; and
>>
>> c) There must be an element of bad faith or dishonesty by the public
>> officer and knowledge of harm alone is insufficient to conclude that a
>> public officer acted in bad faith or dishonestly.
>> Odhavji, above, at paras 23, 24 and 28
>> (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:
>>
>> …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).
>>
>> V. Conclusion
>> [37] For the foregoing reasons, we would allow the Crown’s
>> cross-appeal, with costs, setting aside the Federal Court Judgment,

Irving Oil supporters and skeptics lining up on opposite sides of
company price hike request
Energy and Utilities Board holds first hearing into requested
wholesale margin increases today
Robert Jones · CBC News · Posted: Jan 25, 2021 7:26 AM AT
An initial hearing into Irving Oil's request for increases in
petroleum wholesale prices begins today in front of the New Brunswick
Energy and Utilities Board with supporters raising the stark prospect
of the company shutting down if it does not get what it is asking for
and skeptics warning the board against being manipulated.
"We must be cautiously aware that no business is too big to fail,"
read one letter on the issue received and posted publicly last week by
the EUB.
"They are playing the Board," read another about the company's application.
New Brunswick adopted petroleum price regulation in 2006 and put the
Energy and Utilities Board in place to oversee it. Currently
wholesalers are allowed to add 6.51 cents per litre to the price of
motor fuels they handle (gasoline and diesel) and 5.5 cents per litre
to furnace oil.
Irving Oil is applying for a 62.8 per cent (4.09 cent per litre)
increase in the allowed wholesale margin for motor fuels and a 54.9
per cent (3.02 cent per litre) increase in the margin for furnace oil.
New Brunswick's Energy and Utilities Board has scheduled a full
hearing into Irving Oil's request for wholesale petroleum price
increases for March 30. It will hear arguments Monday for and against
an emergency interim increase. (Robert Jones/CBC News)
The increases are substantially more than the 11 per cent growth in
inflation that has occurred since the margins last changed in March
2013, but the company says fundamental changes in the oil industry and
a sudden collapse in demand for petroleum products caused by the
COVID-19 pandemic have rendered those old amounts obsolete.
"Petroleum pricing regulations in New Brunswick were created 15 years
ago," Darren Gillis, Irving Oil chief marketing officer, said in an
affidavit supporting the application. "They did not contemplate the
challenges of the last several years and were not designed to react to
a global pandemic."
If granted in full, the increases would apply to all New Brunswick
wholesalers and would cost consumers about $60 million per year in
higher retail prices.
The Energy and Utilities Board has tentatively scheduled a full
hearing into the matter for the end of March, but in its application
Irving Oil said its situation is dire and it cannot wait that long for
relief.
Irving Oil's Darren Gillis is heading the company's effort to have the
Energy and Utilities Board approve $60 million in increased petroleum
margins for New Brunswick wholesalers. (Irving Oil)
Instead it is asking for 85 per cent of the requested increase on
motor fuels (3.5 cents) and 99 per cent of the increase on furnace oil
(3.0 cents) to be granted immediately pending the outcome of the full
hearing next spring.
"The entire supply chain in under pressure and at risk," Gillis said
in the application. "COVID-19 has exacerbated challenges for the
industry and urgent action is required."
That tone has alarmed supporters of Irving Oil who fear the company is
in trouble. Last week, the company announced layoffs at its Saint
John refinery and worried suppliers have been mobilizing to urge the
EUB to grant its request in full.
Eric Lloyd is president of Sunny Corner Enterprises Inc., an
industrial construction firm in Miramichi that does business with
Irving Oil.
Lloyd wrote to the EUB to say it "must take action to understand the
economic forces that are stressing a very important contributor to our
economy," and warned it is not "too big to fail" in asking its request
be granted.

Another Irving supplier, Lorneville Mechanical Contractors Ltd. in
Saint John, also sent a letter expressing concern about the company's
financial health.
"We understand that Irving Oil has identified New Brunswick's highly
regulated fuel pricing system as a challenge to its ability to operate
reliably and sustainably," wrote Lorneville's president Jim Brewer, in
endorsing immediate increases.
Local building trade unions warned the viability of the refinery
itself could hinge on the EUB's decision.
"It would be devastating to lose this asset," wrote union president
Jean-Marc Ringuette in his letter supporting Irving Oil's request.
But others are skeptical.
A number of anti-poverty, union and social justice organizations have
signed up to oppose Irving Oil's application and a clutch of private
citizens, like Saint John resident Mary Milander, also sent letters
opposing the increase.
"I believe that that the people of Saint John and the whole province
have suffered financially much more than the oil industry during the
pandemic," Milander wrote to the board.

early controversy about Irving Oil's request by writing a letter to

Although yet to start, the hearing has already been highly
controversial following news last week that New Brunswick Natural
Resources Minister Mike Holland sent his own letter to the EUB
expressing concerns about Irving Oil's ability to supply products at
current prices.
That led to criticism from all three opposition parties and a call for
Holland to resign from Green Party Leader David Coon. Premier Blaine
Higgs defended Holland's intervention.
The EUB has granted interim relief to applicants in other cases
before, but normally on the condition money collected from consumers
be returned if the increases are later found to be unjustified.
A complicating factor in Irving Oil's application for immediate relief
is that Gillis has acknowledged that other than home heating oil
sales, returning money to customers will not be possible.
"In the unlikely case the permanent increase for motor fuels is lower
than the interim increase, Irving Oil cannot effectively and fairly
rebate the difference," he said.

Irving Oil request for 'urgent' wholesale price hike stalls over
redacted evidence
Energy and Utilities Board adjourns to allow groups opposing price
increase to argue for access to evidence
Robert Jones · CBC News · Posted: Jan 25, 2021 5:58 PM AT
Irving Oil Ltd. is applying for a 62.8 per cent (4.09 cent per litre)
increase in the allowed wholesale margin for motor fuels and a 54.9
per cent (3.02 cent per litre) increase in the margin for furnace oil.
(Devaan Ingraham/Reuters )
Irving Oil's attempt to win immediate wholesale petroleum price
increases from the New Brunswick Energy and Utilities Board stalled
quickly Monday over objections from a variety of community
organizations that too much of the application is based on secret
material.
"The amount of information that is redacted in these documents makes
it very difficult for our organization to meaningfully participate,"
said Abram Lutes with the New Brunswick Common Front for Social
Justice
"It limits our ability to participate meaningfully and to advocate on
behalf of low income workers and people in poverty."
Several other groups expressed similar concerns and the EUB's acting
Chair Francois Beaulieu scheduled a hearing Friday morning to deal
with the objections. That forced a delay in Irving Oil's request for
immediate increases in wholesale petroleum margins at least until next
week.

scheduled a hearing Friday morning to deal with objections to Irving
Oil's requests. (Graham Thompson/CBC)
"The board will adjourn and we'll await the interveners to file their
objections," said Beaulieu.
Until recently, Irving Oil has shown little outward concern about
petroleum wholesale margins in New Brunswick. Since 2016, it twice
declined to participate in scheduled reviews of the issue by the
board, including the latest one launched in 2019.
COVID-19 has affected business
But the company says the COVID-19 pandemic has hit its business hard,
and it now requires immediate changes.
In prepared remarks for the EUB on Monday that he was ultimately
unable to deliver before proceedings adjourned Irving Oil marketing
president Darren Gillis planned to outline the company's hardships
"We've reduced spending across the company, cancelled projects, and
unfortunately reduced our employee and contractor workforce," said the
prepared remarks.
"Significant sales declines (Jet Fuel, Marine Fuel and Transportation
Fuel) and higher costs are having a serious impact on the entire
supply chain. No one, no company is insulated from the impacts of the
pandemic, including Irving Oil."
Company asks for substantial increases
The company is applying for a 62.8 per cent (4.09 cent per litre)
increase in the allowed wholesale margin for motor fuels and a 54,9
per cent (3.02 cent per litre) increase in the margin for furnace oil.
It is asking that prior to a full hearing in late March, 85 per cent
of the requested increase on motor fuels (3.5 cents) and 99 per cent
of the increase on furnace oil (3.0 cents) be granted immediately
The increases are substantially more than the 11 per cent growth in
inflation that has occurred since the margins last changed in March
2013. But much of Irving Oil's evidence in support of changes that
large is not being publicly shared to protect company operational and
financial information, an immediate sticking point Monday
Irving Oil supporters and skeptics lining up on opposite sides of
company price hike request
Beaulieu noted the EUB itself along with public intervener Heather
Black and any experts they hire are permitted to view all the
material, but that did little to satisfy several participants.
Hafsah Mohammad with the Moncton social justice and climate action
group Grassroots NB expressed support for Black's role but said more
perspectives on Irving Oil's application are needed
"I think that has a problematic element with one person speaking for
the entire public," said Mohammad.
"I thought that's why there are interveners. If it is solely on
Heather Black I am concerned with just one person being assigned to
this role."
Natural Resources and Energy Development Minister Mike Holland wrote a
letter to New Brunswick's Energy and Utilities Board, in which he said
an Irving Oil application for petroleum price increases should be
dealt with quickly. (Radio-Canada)
Mohammad also pressed Beaulieu to explain his view on a letter sent to
the EUB by Mike Holland, the New Brunswick natural resources and
energy development minister, and its effect on the hearing..
Holland wrote to the board on Jan. 6, one day after Irving Oil filed
its application, to back the company's request for an "expedited"
review.
"I did not have any intention to comment on the letter but if an
intervener does put it forward I'll comment on it," said Beaulieu.
"I'm putting it forward," said Mohammad
Beaulieu said all citizens have a right to send letters to comment on
matters before the board, and he viewed Holland's as just one of many
that have arrived from the public.
Irving oil lawyer concerned over delay
"Any person in the province of New Brunswick can comment on any
proceeding of the board," said Beaulieu "We're independent and that
will continue."
Irving Oil lawyer Len Hoyt expressed concern about delays in getting
to the request for immediate price increases, but the application is
effectively on hold for a week while the company's reliance on
confidential information is dealt with first
"The urgency and the expediency of this is of upmost importance to my
client." said Hoyt.

Hanwell man sues NB Liquor over agency store contract
Moncton's Power Plus Technology won the agency store contract
CBC News · Posted: Apr 23, 2013 9:35 AM AT
A Hanwell convenience store is launching a lawsuit against NB Liquor
to ensure the proper process was put in place in approving a new
agency store licence 1:44
A Fredericton-area convenience store owner is taking NB Liquor to
court to find out why a Moncton company received an agency liquor
store in Hanwell.
NB Liquor’s decision to award Moncton’s Power Plus Technology the
contract to build an agency store next to the Trans-Canada Highway,
near Hanwell, has sparked a local controversy.
The decision has been the focus of public meetings and a petition.
Now Chris Scholten said he is preparing to take the fight to another
level to find out why the two local companies lost out to the Moncton
business.
Scholten said the only way to receive a fair and independent review of
NB Liquor’s decision is to head to court.

bids to set up a NB Liquor agency store in the Fredericton-area
community. (CBC)
"I’m just looking for a fair, independent review of the decision
process to ensure that the right process was followed, following the
guidelines and the request for proposal to which we applied," he said.
Daniel Allain, the president of NB Liquor, said in February the Crown
corporation formed an internal agency store task force to review the
expansion of the agency store network.
At the time, Allain said the decision to create the task force was
intended to guarantee an "open and transparent process."
NB Liquor did not comment on Monday as the Hanwell decision is now
heading to court.
But Scholten said NB Liquor has not been open with him on how the
decision was made.
"Unfortunately we’ve just been hit with roadblock after roadblock. We
are just being ignored quite frankly," he said.
Scholten asked the ombudsman's office to investigate.
The office has agreed to review the file but Scholten said he's heard
nothing from the independent office so far.
But Scholten’s lawyer did hear from NB Liquor late on Monday afternoon.
The agency received documentation that had been requested a month ago
under the province’s Right to Information and Protection of Privacy
Act.
Scholten said he will look through the information with his lawyer but
he still plans to take legal action.

NB Liquor agency store contract in Hanwell sparks anger
Social Sharing
Community group argues contract should have gone to a local bidder,
not Moncton company
CBC News · Posted: Feb 21, 2013 7:19 PM AT
Liquor store controversy
8 years ago 2:03
NB Liquor's decision to award the contract for a new agency store in
Hanwell to a Moncton-based company instead of a local one has sparked
the creation of a new community group and a petition 2:03
NB Liquor's decision to award the contract for a new agency store in
Hanwell to a Moncton-based company instead of a local one has sparked
the creation of a new community group and a petition.
Gayla Macintosh, a member of the Concerned Citizens of Hanwell,
contends NB Liquor broke its own rules with the decision.
The Crown agency's guidelines call for contracts for agency stories to
be awarded to local businesses, she said.
Scholten's Convenience Store and the nearby Hanwell Village Mart had
both submitted bids to operate the new agency store.
But Power Plus Technology, owners of the Magnetic Hill Esso gas
station, was the successful bidder for the store, which will be built
next to the Trans Canada Highway near Hanwell, along with a brand gas
bar and convenience store.
"One of the guidelines is that they want it to be a centrally-located
place and this would be it — one of these two stores would be it — and
we don't know why," said Macintosh.
'Unfair' decision
NB Liquor plans to open 10 new agency stores this year. (CBC)
The group is encouraging citizens who oppose the "unfair" decision to
sign a petition supporting a Hanwell bid and to send an email
expressing their "displeasure" to the premier, finance minister, the
local MLA and the head of NB Liquor.
The decision simply doesn't make sense, said Josh Allen, a regular
customer at Scholten's.
"Better here for the economy, for Scholten's itself, bring more
business here, rather than have a business from out of town come in
and take over their clientele," he said.
NB Liquor spokeswoman Marcelle Saulnier says decisions about where the
10 new agency stores will go this year is based on customer traffic,
location and site evaluation, among other criteria.
"In this case we hired a firm to go look at the various proposals that
we accepted and they came back with a scoring," she said.
The criteria does give points for being locally-owned and operated,
but it's low on the list, said Saulnier.
None of the companies' owners would comment on Thursday.
The Concerned Citizens of Hanwell will be holding an information
session on Monday at 7 p.m. at the Starlite Lodge. The group has
invited NB Liquor CEO Daniel Allain to attend.

NB Liquor agency store dispute in Hanwell goes to ombudsman
Convenience store owner contends contract should have gone to local bidder

Scholten’s Convenience Store was one of the two local businesses that
lost a bid to operate the agency store. (CBC)
The owner of a convenience store near Fredericton who lost his bid to
become an agency store for NB Liquor is taking his case to the
provincial ombudsman.
Chris Scholten, of Scholten's Convenience Store in Hanwell, contends
local bidders are supposed to be given preference.
But the Hanwell contract went to Moncton-based gas retailer Power Plus
Technology instead.
Scholten says he's gone through the NB Liquor review process, has
spoken to the president of the Crown agency and even put a call in to
the minister of finance, but is still not satisfied with the answers
he's received about why the other company won.
"We feel that even the mandate of this agency program has been
violated. We feel that the procedures that were to be followed have
been violated. And we question the evaluations of the independent
proposals as well — that they were unfairly evaluated," he said.
"So we're just looking for an independent review to make sure that the
proper decision was made."

store in Hanwell. (CBC)
Hanwell Village Mart had also applied to be an agency store.
Jason Lutes, the owner of Power Plus Technology, has said he believes
the matter is being blown out of proportion and denied being awarded
the contract because of any political connections.
He was already planning to build a convenience store in the area
before the call for applications from NB Liquor for an agency store,
he said.
Lutes will build the store next to the Trans-Canada Highway near
Hanwell, along with a gas bar and convenience store.
Some Hanwell residents have expressed concerns the new store will pull
business away from existing stores in the area. The issue has sparked
the creation of a new community group called Concerned Citizens of
Hanwell and a petition.
NB Liquor officials have said decisions about new agency stores are
based on customer traffic, location and site evaluation, among other
criteria.

'Double taxation' cut will energize private sector, say N.B. business leaders
Province reducing tax on buildings like rental properties by 50%
Colin McPhail · CBC News · Posted: Mar 10, 2020 8:44 PM AT
Rental property owners and business officials say new tax cuts
announced by the Progressive Conservative government Tuesday will help
stoke the New Brunswick economy and spur construction.
Finance Minister Ernie Steeves announced a 50 per cent reduction in
the provincial non-owner-occupied property residential tax over a
four-year period starting in the 2021 taxation year.
Owners and developers have long sought to scrap the so-called "double
tax" which levies a provincial tax on top of the municipal tax for
buildings like rental properties and cottages.
Willy Scholten, president of the New Brunswick Apartment Owners
Association, said his group has been lobbying government officials on
the issue since 2004.
He believes the move will lead to new construction.
Bryan Eneas/CBC
"We have a lot of issues right now with not enough supply of rental
apartments in the province, and a lot of our association attributes a
lot of that to this double taxation," Scholten said following
Steeves's address in the legislature.
"We don't have outside people coming to the province and saying this
is a good place to do business."
The tax rate will drop from $1.233 per $100 of assessed value to
$0.5617 — or about 14.04 cents per year until 2024.
The owners' association has proposed phasing the tax out completely
over a three-year period, but Scholten said this is a step in the
right direction.
"We hope that they continue after here to the eventual full
elimination, so we are no longer offside with the rest of the
country," said Scholten, adding New Brunswick is the lone Canadian
jurisdiction to impose such a tax.
More budget day coverage:
Could the tax savings be passed onto tenants? Scholten said it's too
early to tell.
"It's not a full elimination and we don't know what's going to happen
with assessments either along the way," he said. "So we'll have to
wait to see what happens with our property tax bills."
The PCs also plan to reduce the non-residential property tax rate —
including commercial and industrial buildings — by 8.25 cents per year
until 2024. That will decrease the rate from $2.1860 per $100 of
assessment to $1.8560.
The $10.2-billion provincial budget projects a $92.4-million surplus
and to reduce the net debt by $129.3 million. The budget is buoyed,
however, by a $200-million increase in federal transfer payments.
"We have to, beyond balancing the budget, give back," Steeves told reporters.
"We thought [the tax reductions] were ones that would help businesses
and, ultimately, help a lot of New Brunswickers and, ultimately, help
the economy of New Brunswick."
'You have to focus on the private sector'
The budget struck a chord with People's Alliance Leader Kris Austin.
His party has long argued against double taxation for
non-owner-occupied properties.
"If you want true economic growth, you have to focus on the private
sector," he said. "The best way to that is tax reduction and
deregulation."
Austin said all three Alliance members will vote in favour, while
Liberal Leader Kevin Vickers maintained that his party will vote
against the budget in an attempt to topple the government.
Ed Hunter/CBC
Green Leader David Coon told reporters his caucus — and its three
crucial votes — has reserved a decision until meeting to discuss.
Also included in the budget is the Higgs government's carbon pricing
plan. It will be set at 6.6 cents per litre at the pumps — same as the
federal backstop — but the Tories will cut the New Brunswick gas tax
by 4.6 cents, creating a net two-cent increase.
The government has not passed its carbon tax legislation and if the
budget is defeated and an election is called, it won't get the chance,
meaning the federal price will be in place on April 1.
David Duplisea, CEO of the Saint John Region Chamber of Commerce, said
if that's the case, it will make New Brunswick less competitive with
neighbouring provinces like Nova Scotia.
Encouraged by the private-sector support, Duplisea said there isn't
anything in or not in the budget worth toppling the government over.
He said many of his 700 members wanted the tax breaks in one form or
another, and this creates a "positive investment climate."
"These items … we have been asking for these and we're confident that
this will help to spur investment in our respective regions and in the
province as a whole," Duplisea said.
Both the Saint John and Fredericton chambers of commerce lauded the
government for reducing the net debt and balancing the budget.
Krista Ross, CEO of the Fredericton Chamber of Commerce, specifically
highlighted the double taxation policy in a statement Tuesday.
"This will make business in New Brunswick more competitive and give us
a chance to build economic momentum, which in turn will allow
government to further reduce debt and deliver more services," Ross
said.
"In the coming years, this will be even more important as we cannot
expect to receive large increases in equalization payments on an
annual basis."

Forcing builders to include low-income units not a solution, say developers
Social Development Minister Dorothy Shephard open to exploring
inclusionary zoning
CBC News · Posted: Dec 12, 2019 6:02 PM AT | Last Updated: December 12, 2019

differently than owner-occupied properties has long been a complaint
among landlords and developers. (Bryan Eneas/CBC)
Two Fredericton developers question the wisdom of implementing
inclusionary zoning, a policy that forces developers to include
affordable units in their projects.
Social Development Minister Dorothy Shephard has said it would be
"interesting" to explore a proposed Montreal bylaw that would make
developers either set aside a certain number of units in their
buildings as affordable units or pay into a fund for social housing.
"I think with the help of our municipalities that it's worthy of
looking at," Shephard said.
But Jeff Yerxa, the president and CEO of Ross Ventures Ltd., said
while the idea is worth looking at, any development would still have
to make money, and mandating units could make that difficult for
certain projects.
Sees problem with some developments
"I think that every development has got its own place in the market,"
Yerxa said.
"If you're doing a big waterfront development, I think it's tough to
include affordable housing … I don't think it's reasonable for the
province to subsidize rent for affordable housing for people in, you
know, developments such as that."
Province to spend $629K on new affordable housing units over 3
years, $12M on repairs
Willy Scholten, the president of the NB Apartment Owners Association,
said he opposes any new "hurdles."
"The problem with doing this ... inclusionary zoning … is [it's]
another hurdle for development," said Scholten.
"If we start doing more and more of putting more and more hurdles we
have less development. If we have less development, we have less
units."
Scholten said the province could do more to increase development by
ending the so-called "double tax" on rental properties.
No exemption
"We need to fix that, and that'll make affordability easier and make
the whole development easier," said Scholten.
"We'll get more development. More development will mean the vacancy
rates will go up. Rental rates will go down."
The province's practice of taxing non-owner-occupied properties
differently from owner-occupied properties has long been a complaint
among landlords and developers.
'I've never felt shame like this in my life': 500 homeless, 5,000
await affordable housing
The tax sees landlords pay both municipal and provincial property
taxes on their rental properties and aren't eligible for a break on
those.
While owner-occupied properties also are assessed taxes by both the
province and municipality, the owners can receive tax credits that
largely eliminate the provincial portion.
Scholten said the province is bringing in enough revenue to offset
what it would lose in revenue if it ended the "double tax." If that
happened, landlords would be willing to freeze rental rates for a
period, he said.

Property tax cut benefits landlords, says NDP leader
CBC News · Posted: Sep 18, 2012 6:21 AM AT
New Democratic Party Leader Dominic Cardy says landlords in New
Brunswick appear to be backing away from a promise on lower rents.
Last week, the provincial government announced it is cutting property
taxes for the owners of apartment buildings, but won't force them to
pass the savings to tenants.
The NDP leader said the landlords should stand by what they said.
NDP Leader Dominic Cardy says landlords could stand behind a promise
on lower rents. (CBC)
"I think they need to go back to look at the statements they made a
few months ago," Cardy said.
"I think they need to be held to account, and the government does as
well, because they said the purpose of this was to help renters, and
instead it's going to help just the landlords, and that's not fair."
The provincial budget in March promised a gradual reduction in property taxes.
Election promise
Back then, Willy Scholten of the New Brunswick Apartment Owners
Association predicted the provincial government would force landlords
to pass on the savings.
"I would see the government not giving up the revenue without some
sort of legislation to make sure that it does happen, and we would
support that," Scholten said at the time.
Last week, Scholten no longer supported provincial government
enforcement of lower rental fees.
"We're private business, and we believe that the markets should
dictate that, so we wouldn't agree with that," he said.
Scholten said he would support enforcement if the tenant tax were
eliminated altogether, but that's not happening.
He said with other costs rising, the gradual tax reduction isn't
enough for landlords to even freeze rents.
The 2010 Progressive Conservative election platform promised that an
"easing" of the tenant tax would "benefit those living in apartments."
It now appears that promise will only be kept by landlords who choose
to honour it.

Bruce Fitch plans overhaul of property tax system
'Spike protection' mechanism will guard against assessment hikes above 10%
CBC News · Posted: Sep 12, 2012 11:04 AM AT
Local Government Minister Bruce Fitch announced a series of property
tax reform proposals on Wednesday. (CBC)
New Brunswick homeowners will be offered a new "spike protection"
mechanism to guard against large property tax assessment hikes, Local
Government Minister Bruce Fitch announced on Wednesday.
Fitch released a discussion document on property tax reform that
called for a number of changes.
"We are fulfilling our commitment to make a fairer and more effective
property tax system," Fitch said in a statement.
As a part of the provincial government’s proposed package of reforms,
the three-per-cent property tax freeze is being lifted.

The local government minister said homeowners will be moving back to a
market-value system where their property assessments, which are used
to calculate property taxes, can fluctuate.
Fitch said there will be a permanent exemption given for the 146,000
homeowners who took advantage of the two-year assessment cap.
For example, if a person saved $10,000 between the 2012 market value
and the 2012 capped value of their property, they will receive an
exemption for that rate. So every year when that person's property
assessment comes in, they will be exempted for $10,000.
However, when they sell their house, the new owner will pay the full
market rate.
The provincial government estimates it will take about 20 years for
all the exemptions to work their way out of the system.
As well, homeowners will be given the option of paying for their
property taxes monthly instead of in one large annual payment.
The provincial government will also introduce a mechanism to safeguard
homeowners from property tax, assessment increases of more than 10 per
cent.
Ending 'double taxation'
Another element of the property tax plan is to reduce the amount of
tax by 23 per cent that is imposed on rental properties, commercial
properties and second homes.
Building owners have complained for years they have to pass on the
extra cost to tenants.
There's also to be help for homeowners.
Fitch said he hopes the change will mean relief for tenants.
"This will help the landlords, and we expect those savings will be
passed on to the renters, to help either lower rent, improve the
quality of housing, or mitigate any planned increases in the rental
prices," Fitch said.
But the reforms announced on Wednesday will not force apartment
building owners to pass on the savings.
Owners say the tax break isn't enough to guarantee rent reductions but
it may help landlords put off rent increases.
Other elements of the property tax reform paper include:
Property tax bills will be simplified.
A new cost-sharing model for RCMP services that will more fairly
distributing costs among all users.
Minimizing the impact of these reforms on farmers, homeowners and
businesses in local service districts.
Exempting libraries from property tax.
The tax reduction doesn't go far enough, according to Willy Sholten of
the New Brunswick Apartment Owners Association.
"This will mean that we'll still be 1.8 times the single family rate
and 1.8 times the average in Canada. So there's still quite a gap. But
the government has done something and it's being portrayed as the
first phase."
But any tax reduction is good, according to Kevin Lacey, Atlantic
director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
"This tax reduction will mean that those living in apartments in the
long-term will likely see a benefit. And this combined with the
government's announcement in the budget that it will freeze rental
rates is a good thing for taxpayers of the province."
The provincial government says it won't be losing money because of the
tax reductions.
It expects it'll be covered by a doubling of the real property
transfer fee in the last budget that should generate up to an extra $8
million each year.
