Changing the gas price formula not up to us, EUB chair says

Board chair tells MLAs it’s their job to amend law on maximum price

Jacques Poitras · CBC News · Posted: Sep 07, 2022 1:14 PM AT

Energy and Utilities Board chair François Beaulieu faced questions on gas pricing from MLAs on Wednesday. (CBC)

New Brunswick's Energy and Utilities Board has told elected members of the legislature that if they don't like how retail gas prices are being set in the province, it's up to them to rewrite the rules.

Board chair François Beaulieu faced questions from MLAs on the public accounts committee about why Nova Scotia's regulated gas prices appeared to plunge faster than New Brunswick's this summer.

"We don't set policies, we administer those policies," Beaulieu said.

EUB agrees intervener acted unfairly toward N.B. Power during hearing

Many New Brunswickers and even some elected politicians took to social media this summer to complain that price drops in New Brunswick were not keeping pace with those in Nova Scotia.

"They had like two days of nine and ten cents of drops, I think," New Maryland–Sunbury Progressive Conservative MLA Jeff Carr told Beaulieu.

On July 12, the regulated price for a litre of regular gas in Nova Scotia was 23 cents lower than in New Brunswick, even though the two provinces use the same gasoline market benchmark to set their maximums.

'Not a policy maker'

Beaulieu told the MLAs it's because other elements of the price-regulation laws in the two provinces are different.

And it's not up to the EUB to change those laws, or even recommend changes, he said.

"Our role is not a policy maker," Beaulieu told Moncton Centre Liberal MLA Rob McKee. "Our role is to administer whatever legislation the legislative assembly decides to do.

"So that's a policy decision. If the legislative assembly decides that needs to be done, I'll leave that to you."

The discussion centred on the interrupter clause in the province's price-setting law.

Secret participants and 'collusion' worries cause halt in N.B. Power hearing

It allows unscheduled price changes outside the weekly Wednesday midnight setting if the benchmark price in New York goes up or down by more than six cents in a single day.

"It's prescribed in the legislation, and our hands our tied," Beaulieu said. "So if prices go up, prices go down, we interrupt."

In June, as soaring gas prices put pressure on politicians to give consumers relief, Premier Blaine Higgs said incorrectly that the interrupter clause was only being activated when prices shot up, not when they went down.

We don't have a choice, Mr. Carr, because it's prescribed in the legislation.

- François Beaulieu, EUB chair

In fact, the interrupter clause has triggered price drops nine times since April, Beaulieu said Wednesday. It has led to price increases 13 times.

He told MLAs that Nova Scotia's prices move differently because that province's regulator has the latitude to forecast whether sudden price swings are going to let the market make too much money or lose too much money and adjust the maximum accordingly.

He said it's up to the legislature, not the EUB, to decide whether New Brunswick's law should allow the same forecasting.

New Maryland-Sunbury MLA Jeff Carr questioned the EUB on why it couldn't intervene in gas prices under certain circumstances. (CBC News file photo)

He made the same argument when Carr asked about a section of the legislation that prevents the EUB from using the interrupter clause if a six-cent swing happens on a Tuesday or a Wednesday, the two-day period before its scheduled weekly setting.

"What is the reason?" Carr asked.

"We don't have a choice, Mr. Carr, because it's prescribed in the legislation," Beaulieu said.

In June, when prices hit $2.19 per litre of regular gas, Energy Minister Mike Holland wrote to Beaulieu asking him to look into how to reduce the volatility of prices and how to mitigate the impact on consumers.

The board chair responded in July that the EUB believed as a quasi-judicial body that it did not have the authority or jurisdiction to make recommendations on those issues.

'Thumbs up' for tomorrow

Earlier in the meeting, the board chair said the EUB had to tell one gas retailer in the province to stop giving customers hints in advance about whether prices were going to rise or drop on Wednesday nights.

Retailers get advance notice of the weekly setting but it's embargoed, meaning they can't release the information publicly.

But one retailer was posting thumbs up or thumbs down images on Facebook on Wednesdays.

"We called the individual and explained to him that he can't do that, and sent him a letter regarding, 'Don't do that anymore.'"

Despite that, Beaulieu dropped his own hint a few minutes later.

"So, thumbs up for tomorrow, or thumbs down?" committee chair and Liberal MLA Chuck Chiasson asked.

"Thumbs up," Beaulieu said with a laugh.

EUB agrees intervener acted unfairly toward N.B. Power during hearing

Energy and Utilities Board agreed William Marshall failed to disclose relationship with third parties

Aidan Cox · CBC News · Posted: Aug 10, 2022 4:28 PM AT

EUB chair Francois Beaulieu announced the board agreed with a resolution finding that William Marshall acted unfairly by not disclosing his company's relationships with third parties. (Graham Thompson/CBC)

New Brunswick's Energy and Utilities Board has ruled that a participant in one of its hearings failed to properly disclose who he represented, resulting in procedural unfairness against N.B. Power.

The ruling stems from an EUB hearing into a request by the Crown electricity company to increase the amount it charges companies like Saint John Energy and Liberty Utilities to use its transmission infrastructure.

One particularly controversial proposal is a plan to more than quadruple what N.B. Power charges to "balance" the uneven flow of electricity through its system caused by the up and down production of area wind farms.

Saint John Energy and Liberty Utilities are two of eight entities that had representatives submit evidence during the hearing.

Secret participants and 'collusion' worries cause halt in N.B. Power hearing

Another participant of the hearing, William Marshall, registered to present submissions under his consulting company, WKM Consultants Inc. on his own behalf.

However, N.B. Power lawyer John Furey last month accused Marshall of secretly representing undisclosed third parties, leading to Marshall's admission that Saint John Energy and Liberty Utilities are clients of his consulting firm. He denied he was representing them at the hearing.

N.B. Power lawyer John Furey told the EUB that the failure of Marshall to disclose his relationships to third parties led to missed opportunities to ask him relevant questions during his submission of evidence during the hearing. (Graham Thompson/CBC)

Furey later filed a motion asking that the Energy and Utilities Board remove Marshall from the hearing and have his submissions scrubbed from the record.

The parties met virtually on Wednesday for what was supposed to be submissions before the board on the motion. However, on board chair Francois Beaulieu's suggestion, they agreed to discuss the matter through an in-camera alternate dispute resolution process.

The parties came to a unanimous resolution after almost two hours of discussion.

The parties agreed on forwarding to the board an order that WKM Consultants breached the board's rules of procedure by failing to disclose it was retained by third parties, and that this relationship caused potential or procedural unfairness to N.B. Power as the applicant.

The order will also see Marshall withdraw his request to be qualified as an expert witness in the hearing.

Claims of double representation

In explaining the resolution, Furey said Marshall's actions breached the board's rules in two aspects.

He said the first is that by failing to disclose the relationship between his company and other parties to the hearing, N.B. Power missed opportunities to question Marshall in a way that could have revealed relevant information.

Furey also argued that Marshall's submissions afforded Saint John Energy "double representation" during the hearing as the municipal power company already had its own representative.

Public intervener Richard Williams says Marshall's submissions could be interpreted as providing double representation for Saint John Energy during the EUB hearing. (Saint John Energy)

"There was alignment to some extent of the of the positions of those two experts," Furey said Wednesday. "So effectively, there were two experts put forward by the same party, undisclosed to the board or other parties."

Following Furey's remarks, Richard Williams, the province's public intervenor, weighed in, saying Marshall appeared to attempt to "cloak himself in secrecy" so as to be seen as an independent expert simply trying to assist the board in its deliberations.

"It seems obvious, at least to me, that Saint John Energy was hoping to have... two seemingly unconnected experts that... were sort of almost on the same page," Williams said.

After a lunch break, the board reconvened Wednesday afternoon and Beaulieu told the parties it accepted the terms.

"What the board will be doing next is work on preparing an order and have it translated, so that should probably be distributed to all parties in the coming days," Beaulieu said.

The board will hear closing arguments on the hearing on Sept. 9.

Secret participants and 'collusion' worries cause halt in N.B. Power hearing

Utility calls for consultant representing unnamed clients to be expelled

An accusation that two or more customers of N.B. Power's transmission system slipped into a hearing on the utility's transmission rates in a Trojan Horse-style operation has ground proceedings at the New Brunswick Energy and Utilities Board to a sudden halt.

N.B. Power is asking that a consultant being paid to represent the unknown parties be expelled by the EUB and his evidence disallowed.

N.B. Power lawyer John Furey said the utility has believed since late last year that the consultant, William Marshall, had been representing only himself at the hearing but is now wondering if he is part of a larger "collusion" among other participants.

"It never crossed my mind that Mr. Marshall was here other than as a member of the public who is interested in the proceedings," Furey said during the virtual hearing last week. "That he was actually representing an unnamed third party, I find that — I am shocked by it, frankly.

"It creates the possibility that there are other interveners in this proceeding who have also retained Mr. Marshall, and we now have collusion or corroboration through Mr. Marshall of the position that another intervener is taking to create the impression for the Board that there is consensus. It is absolutely unfair."

The hearing, which was postponed earlier in the spring for unrelated reasons was finally scheduled to conclude last Friday but has now been adjourned until Aug. 10 to hear arguments on how to deal with N.B. Power's concerns about cloaked participants.

Final arguments on transmission rates themselves, which were originally supposed to be in place back on April 1, have been delayed until Sept. 9.

N.B. Power's extensive transmission system serves a variety of businesses and generators that depend upon it to move electricity in and around the Maritime provinces, Maine, Quebec and deeper into New England.

The operation of the system, including its fees and expenses, is regulated by the New Brunswick Energy and Utilites Board.

Multiple parties, including Marshall, are participating in the hearing and have been challenging N.B. Power plans to raise fees for its transmission services. One particularly controversial proposal is a plan to more than quadruple what N.B. Power charges to "balance" the uneven flow of electricity through its system caused by the up and down production of area wind farms.

N.B. Power has nearly 7,000 kilometres of high-voltage transmission lines crisscrossing New Brunswick. The system costs up to $145 million a year to operate, and fees charged to system users offset a portion of that. (NB Power/Facebook)

Marshall is a former senior N.B. Power executive and once oversaw the operation of the transmission system as president of the independent New Brunswick System Operator, which was absorbed by N.B. Power several years ago. He has operated a private consulting business for the last 14 years.

Marshall's consulting company WKM Energy Consultants Inc. registered to participate in the hearing on its own behalf.

But under questioning last week by acting public intervener Rick Williams, Marshall confirmed the company is being paid by "more than one" silent party to represent them.

Under additional questioning by Furey, Marshall acknowledged the parties did not want their participation to be known.

"The clients that I am [representing] really did not want to be identified by themselves that they were here, so I am doing it on their behalf," Marshall said.

"The concern of my client is that, you know, several of them have relationships with N.B. Power, and they don't want to tarnish those relationships."

Marshall said it was explicitly in his original application to participate in the matter that his company had an interest in participating because it "works regularly with many parties throughout the region" who are affected by N.B. Power's transmission policies and charges.

He offered to disclose the identities of those who hired him in confidence to the EUB, but Furey took the position the parties who hired Marshall should be the listed participants even if Marshall is the one who presents their arguments.

"It is not in the public interest to permit Interveners to represent the interests of undisclosed or unidentified third-party commercial interests," Furey wrote in a formal notice of motion calling for Marshall to be expelled and evidence he has submitted to be struck.

"The only possible purpose of such a form of intervention is secrecy, which is contrary to the "open court" principle which governs Canadian courts and tribunals," he concluded.

Saint John Energy is represented at N.B. Power's transmission hearing by a lawyer hired by it and New Brunswick's other two municipal utilities. It won't say if it is also secretly being represented by consultant Willian Marshall. (Saint John Energy)

Under questioning, Marshall listed eight clients of his consulting company that would be impacted by a change in transmission charges in New Brunswick and suggested "some" of those eight were the ones he was representing.

Among the eight are Saint John Energy, which takes electricity off N.B. Power's transmission system to supply city customers, and Liberty Utilities, which owns the Tinker hydroelectric dam that links to N.B. Power's transmission system near the Maine and New Brunswick border.

Marshall did not say if either company is among the ones he is working for, but both are represented separately at the hearing already, and Furey said there is a danger a secret participant enjoyed "double representation" throughout the hearing and potentially benefited from unfair procedural tricks.

"One possible outcome is that one representative of the third-party interest would be in a position to cross-examine (and thus ask leading questions of) an expert retained by the second representative of the third-party interest," wrote Furey in his formal notice of motion.

"Double representation may also result in the stacking of multiple expert witnesses, creating a false impression for the board that there is consensus that does not truly exist."

On Monday, Saint John Energy would not comment on whether it is one of the parties paying Marshall.

"There is currently a motion in with the New Brunswick Energy and Utilities Board on this issue," company spokesperson Jessica DeLong wrote in an email..

"We will not be commenting at this time out of respect for the NBEUB's process."

The EUB said if a resolution between N.B. Power and Marshall can be worked out, Aug. 10 may be used to hear final arguments. Otherwise the day will be devoted to hearing the utility's application to have Marshall barred from participating.

Harsh words, disallowed expenses greet NB Power in rate increase decision
‘The utility must stop overspending,’ Energy and Utilities Board says

Robert Jones · CBC News · Posted: Oct 02, 2020 8:44 PM AT

NB Power has been told by its regulator, the Energy and Utilities
Board, it is not doing enough to control costs or reduce debt.
(Radio-Canada)

New Brunswick's Energy and Utilities Board has finally approved part
of NB Power's year-old request for a rate increase but not before
stripping out $1.4 million in expenses it called unjustified and
chastising the utility for not controlling its costs.

"The utility must stop overspending on items … that are within its
control," wrote the board.

"It does not appear there has been any meaningful changes taken by NB
Power in its approach to control costs or reduce debt. Only modest
improvements have been seen on debt repayment."

In the decision released Friday, the EUB ordered NB Power's to
recalculate its rate request after subtracting disallowed portions.
That will likely lead to a 1.85 per cent power rate increase to
customers, although potentially not until next spring.

"With these changes, NB Power is directed to provide the Board, for
review, its calculation for a revised rate increase across all
customer classes," wrote the Board in its 21-page decision.

NB Power originally applied to the EUB for a two per cent rate hike
one year ago on Oct. 2, 2019. It was hoping to have the increase
approved and in place for April 1, 2020.

Hearings were conducted last February, but on March 19, with a ruling
imminent, the utility requested an indefinite suspension of the
application in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Energy and Utilities Board acting chairperson Francois Beaulieu led a
three-person panel reviewing NB Power's request for a rate increase
back in February. The decision finally came on Friday. (CBC)

"Many businesses are closed or at reduced operation for an unknown
time frame and many employees of those businesses have been affected
as a result," said then NB Power president Gaëtan Thomas in a letter
to the EUB.

"NB Power has concluded that a rate increase implemented on April 1,
2020, would be counterproductive."

In August, NB Power finally asked the EUB to issue its decision but
requested whatever increase it approved to be moved to March 31, 2021,
to minimize disruption to the economy.

The EUB has not yet ruled on that request.

NB Power's rate hike plan for April 1 has been caught in pandemic limbo

Although focused mostly on the current rate increase, the EUB also
turned its attention to a string of poor financial results and missed
debt reduction targets posted by NB Power over the last half-decade.

The utility lost $16 million in the last fiscal year, the fifth year
in a row it has missed its own profit target, and the EUB called on
the organization to look internally for solutions.

"NB Power must find a way to stay within its budget and reduce its
costs," wrote the board.

The board did approve most of NB Power's budget request with exception
of $1.1 million in inflated costs for buying electricity from the
Pokeshaw wind farm in northeastern New Brunswick after NB Power
negotiated lower prices than it included in its budget documents.
Maritime Iron study

The EUB also disallowed $300,000 the utility had earmarked to study
the potential of integrating the proposed Maritime Iron development in
Belledune with its nearby coal-fired generating station.

NB Power has since ceased its investigation of how it might help the
Maritime Iron project, and the board said it heard nothing at hearings
to justify the utility charging customers anything to investigate the
feasibility of a development proposed by an outside party.

"This project is speculative. The Board is not satisfied as to the
prudence of this spending," it wrote in its decision.

The disallowance by the EUB of $1.4 million budgeted for those two
items in NB Power's budget was in addition to money NB Power itself
dropped from its request early in proceedings.

At the start of hearings in February, utility executives, including
new president Keith Cronkhite, declared $1.4 million in planned
spending to support a hydrogen-from-seawater partnership with
Florida-based Joi Scientific inappropriate to bill customers for and
withdrew the amount from its budget.

Former NB Power CEO Gaëtan Thomas, centre, with Joi Scientific
executives Robert Koeneman, left, and Traver Kennedy on a beach in
Cape Canaveral, Fla., promoting the company's hydrogen-from-seawater
research. NB Power's spending on that project and other items is being
deducted from its rate increase. (Joi Scientific)

Those three changes combined total $2.8 million and are all to be
deducted from the original two per cent increase requested by the
utility.

EUB board member John Herron wrote a dissenting opinion, arguing NB
Power should be able to keep the rate increase portions tied to
disallowed expenses to boost its bottom line, but that position was
rejected by EUB acting chairperson Francois Beaulieu and board member
Michael Costello, who made up the balance of the three-person panel.

The EUB will likely rule next week on when the rate increase will take
effect, after NB Power recalculates the amount without the disallowed
expenses.

>> MR. ROUSE: I guess I don't have legal counsel either.
>>
>> VICE-CHAIRMAN: True. So you are -- NCFS doesn't have legal counsel?

>> MR. ROUSE: That's correct.
>>
>> VICE-CHAIRMAN: So I will address the three of you then. So Mr. Bourque

>>
>> MR. BOURQUE: Yes, I do and thanks for explaining it.
>>
>> VICE-CHAIRMAN: Okay. Thank you. Monsieur Richard, essentiellement

>> que vous comprenez ceci.
>>
>> DR. RICHARD: Oui. Oui, Monsieur Vice-président.
>>
>> VICE-CHAIRMAN : Pis je comprends aussi que, Monsieur Richard, que vous

>> CROSS-EXAMINATION BY MR. BOURQUE:
>>
>> Q. - Mr. Murphy, as Chief Financial Officer, do you agree with 13 the
>> accounting of KPMG?
>>
>> MR. MURPHY: Sorry, do I understand the question, do I agree with the
>> accounting of KPMG?
>>
>> Q. - Yes.
>>
>> MR. MURPHY: Yes, I do.
>>
>> Q. - Do you know the account -- the KPMG auditor, and if so who are they?
>>
>> MR. MURPHY: Sorry, I am having a little difficult time 21 hearing up
>> here, did you say the owner or the author?
>>
>> Q. - The auditors, sorry about that.
>>
>> MR. MURPHY: Yes, I do. I know the primary partner on our particular
>> audit
>> file.
>>
>> Q. - Do you have a name for them?
>>
>> MR. MURPHY: Our primary audit partner is Jamie O'Neil.
>>
>> Q. - Jamie O'Neil. And I was a bit surprised that when I asked the
>> question earlier and there was -- the audit was not signed and any
>> business I have ever been involved with before, the auditors always
>> came and made the presentation of the audit and this didn't appear to
>> happen. Is there a reason for that?
>>
>> MR. MURPHY: So I am not exactly sure of the reference that's being
>> made, but our audit statements are signed every year. As described, we
>> have a very traditional process in terms of the auditors coming in and
>> making a final presentation to the boards of directors. It's at that
>> time that we do sign off on the audited statements and they are
>> available online for anybody to go in and view them.
>>
>> Q. - Mr. Murphy, are you familiar with David Amos and Greg Hickey and
>> their concerns about the payout to pulp mills by the NB Power Large
>> Industrial Renewable Energy Purchase programs and the fact that the
>> U.S. Department of Commerce consider it corporate welfare affecting
>> the American interest and with trade with Canada?
>>
>> MR. FUREY: Mr. Chair, we have been down this road before in previous
>> hearings. Mr. Hickey addressed this in at least one, and if I am not
>> mistaken, two hearings. And I
>> believe where we objected to certain questions of Mr. Hickey in the
>> past like this, the Board concluded that relevant questioning -- that
>> it would be a relevant question to ask questions related to compliance
>> by NB Power with provisions of the Electricity Act and the LIREPP
>> regulation, the renewable regulation, which includes the LIREPP
>> program, but debate about policy, as to whether or not LIREPP is a
>> desirable policy is not a matter for this Board and I think we have
>> had that resolved in previous hearings.
>>
>> VICE-CHAIRMAN: Mr. Bourque, Mr. Furey is right. We did have -- when
>> Mr. Hickey was here last year, and I think at other hearings, we had
>> that debate and so it's a policy issue. If you have questions
>> regarding LIREPP, regarding compliance, I think you are permitted to
>> ask those questions, but if it's questions regarding policy, regarding
>> the LIREPP program, it's not relevant and it's in the legislation so
>> --
>>
>> MR. BOURQUE: I wasn't aware of what took place last year.
>>
>> Q. - Mr. Murphy, are you aware of my friend, David Amos and the
>> concerns with the NB Power since 2006?
>>
>> MR. MURPHY: I would not say that I am aware of any detailed concerns
>> that Mr. Amos has expressed.
>>
>> Q. - Have you read the filings that NB Power filed into the record of
>> this matter since -- on October 30th of 2017?
>>
>> MR. MURPHY: Yes, generally I have read all the documents.
>>
>> Q. - Have you read the transcript of the hearing on October 2 31st?
>>
>> MR. MURPHY: I did not read the transcript.
>>
>> Q. - And have you read the emails that Mr. Amos sent since then?
>>
>> MR. MURPHY: I did not read the emails. If there is something in
>> particular that's filed on evidence that you would like to bring up on
>> the screen for me to review, I am happy to review it and answer
>> questions on it, but I have not read the emails.
>>
>> Q. - Ms. Clark, why does NB Power consider the smart meter it wished
>> to attach to my home a federal matter? If I get sick, or because of
>> an injury to my home or property, do I sue the federal or do I sue NB
>> Power?
>>
>> MS. CLARK: So with respect to the smart meters, the AMI installation,
>> we would be complying with all of Health Canada's Guidelines with
>> respect to the meter installation.
>>
>> Q. - So if there is a problem NB Power is responsible for it or the
>> federal, if you are complying by the federal regulations?
>>
>> MR. FUREY: Mr. Vice-Chair, I don't think that's a fair question to
>> address to this panel.
>>
>> VICE-CHAIRMAN: Is there going to be another panel that can address his
>> question, Mr. Furey?
>>
>> MR. FUREY: Well to be asked to comment in advance on circumstances in
>> which liability might arise, you know, certainly if there is a
>> specific fact circumstance presented, maybe the question could be
>> answered, but this is very broad.
>>
>> VICE-CHAIRMAN: So are you suggesting that if he rephrases his
>> question that this panel could answer the question?
>>
>> MR. FUREY: I guess I would have to hear the question, but I -- what I
>> am saying is the question as framed is I think impossible to answer.
>> And it's unfair to ask any witness to commit to liability around a
>> question as broad as if something goes wrong.
>>
>> VICE-CHAIRMAN: Mr. Bourque, can you reframe your question?
>>
>> Q. - Well my -- my concern is the spending of a lot of money for the
>> smart meters. And as we heard earlier this morning, the temperature
>> has a big temp' -- a big effect on the use of power. Well do we need
>> to spend millions of dollars to tell us when the temperature gets
>> colder and that? NB Power knows that. When the temperature goes down,
>> they are going to have to start producing, you know, more power to
>> supply the demand. And I think it's really -- wonder if it's worth
>> sending that. The other thing is I have received some videos off the
>> internet of smart meters where they literally caught the side of the
>> house on fire. There was pictures of just around the meter and that.
>> So if that happens to my house, who is responsible?
>>
>> VICE-CHAIRMAN: Panel?
>>
>> MS. CLARK: I will address your question in two parts. The first part
>> of it is with respect to the installation of smart meters or the AMI
>> project. The example that was given would be a perfect reason for NB
>> Power to install advanced metering infrastructure. During the times
>> when the utility or when the province is facing very cold
>> temperatures, having the advanced metering infrastructure in place
>> would allow customers to have more information readily available
>> during the month. So when we are dealing with high bill complaints,
>> like we have been this last month due to the extremely cold
>> temperatures, customers would actually be able to see their usage
>> throughout the month and not be subject to receiving a final bill at
>> the end of the month and being surprised by their consumption because
>> of the cold weather. So this would be a perfect example of why the
>> advanced metering infrastructure would be in the -- it would be in the
>> benefit of our customers.
>> The second piece, I think with reference to the safety of meters, we
>> will be following Measurement Canada safety standards, Health Canada
>> safety standards. All of our meters will be tested. And during the
>> install, we will actually be able to look at customers' premises to
>> see if there are any issues related to safety that we should be
>> addressing at the time. There are specific incidents where there have
>> been some issues with meters being installed, but those are very
>> specific to either the geographical location where they were being
>> installed or the customers' equipment itself. But again when we are
>> actually installing the meters, as we are installing 355,000 meters
>> across the province, we will actually be able to visually inspect
>> each one of those locations to see if there is any issues with respect
>> to the meter itself or the installation that's on the customers'
>> premises. But it would depend on what exactly it is we find as to how
>> it would be handled.
>>
>> Q. - I got one final question. If a customer decides he doesn't want a
>> smart meter at his place, can he opt out?
>>
>> MS. CLARK: Yes, absolutely. We will have an opt out policy.
>>
>> MR. BOURQUE: Thank you.
>>
>> VICE-CHAIRMAN: Thank you. Is that all your questions, Mr. 20 Bourque?
>>
>> MR. BOURQUE: Yes.
>>
>> VICE-CHAIRMAN: Okay. Thank you.
>>
>> MR. BOURQUE: Thank you.
>>

>>
>>
>> Page 590
>>
>> MR. CRONKHITE: That is a pretty broad statement. If you could be a
>> little bit more specific on restrictions you are referring to.
>>
>> Q. - Well for an example, Mr. Cronkhite, would be the LIREPP program
>> restricts how your generation assets are used. Would you agree with
>> that?
>>
>> MR. CRONKHITE: The LIREPP program is simply a input of renewable
>> resources into the system. It does not, in my opinion, for the size of
>> the contribution, restrict our operations in any way.
>>
>> Q. - Okay. You have purchase power agreements. Do they mot also
>> dictate or indicate how your generation assets can be used?
>>
>> MR. CRONKHITE: Certainly we do have power purchase arrangements when
>> energy would be an example where we need to incorporate that wind when
>> it's generated. As a result of that, we do position, so I think maybe
>> Ms. Desmond may be asking this that we do need to position our
>> remaining fleet to accommodate or adjust and follow that wind
>> variation as it operates today. Not unlike that we would have with
>> embedded generation assets, and to a much smaller degree obviously,
>> home generation around solar and different items such as that.
>>
>> Q. - If we were to maximize the benefits of AMI in our smart grid,
>> isn't it also true that we should maximize the use of our generation
>> supply assets that we currently have, and wouldn't that mean
>> revisiting some of these existing constraints?
>>
>> MR. CRONKHITE: We are always mindful of the existing commitments that
>> we have on our system today. When we look forward with respect to the
>> time frames, and as I mentioned earlier, that this is a managed
>> transition not over five years, but over 15, 20 and 25 years, we are
>> always mindful and that's why we have looked at power purchase
>> arrangements that are coming due in the mid-20s and beyond that we
>> allow the freedom and flexibility for us to make the correct
>> adjustments, as we move towards those particular milestones.
>> With respect to new generation coming on line, that's why we do the
>> modelling, that's why we do sensitivities around various scenarios to
>> ensure that we are optimizing to the best of our ability. One of the
>> foundational items around our Energy Smart NB plan is being able to
>> connect with customers to connect to intermittent generation that we
>> know is coming onto the system in the near term and medium term and
>> having more visibility on that. So that exactly we can optimize our
>> generation fleet more effectively today through visibility on this
>> distributed generation resources so that we can synchronize it much
>> more effectively with the system moving forward.
>>
>> Q. - I wasn't specifically asking about new generation. It really was
>> the existing constraints that you have to work around and deal with in
>> terms of generation dispatch.
>>
>> MS. DESMOND: Okay. I think those are all of our questions though.
>> Thank you very much.
>>
>>
>> BY THE BOARD:
>>
>> VICE-CHAIRMAN: Thank you, Ms. Desmond. So I think we do have -- as
>> Board members we do have a couple of questions to ask. So I will
>> start. I am looking at your current business case that you have
>> before us with your total project contribution of minus $1.3 million.
>> And from the evidence that we have heard the last couple of days, is
>> that you consider this as a breakeven number, and I think that that's
>> what you were telling us, Ms. Clark.
>> So the normal individual, your rate customer, would you not think
>> that he would not perceive your $1.3 million as a breakeven number?
>>
>> MS. CLARK: I guess in the context in which I was using breakeven is
>> it is an investment rationale document and it's intended to cover the
>> life cycle costs of the program, and those are assumptions and it's
>> hovering very close to zero when you look at it over the life cycle.
>> I think in the last few days of the hearing, we have indicated that
>> it's more than breakeven and would even say that if we were to
>> incorporate the adjustments, and the undertaking we just took from Ms.
>> Desmond to provide the adjustments that were recommended in the
>> Synapse report, we are looking at an investment rationale that is
>> leaning closer to probably $10 million or 8 or $9 million. And if we
>> were to quantify some of those non-quantifiable benefits and be less
>> conservative in some of the estimates that we put in the investment
>> rationale document, I think we could easily get to a $10 million
>> improvement.
>> Again, and I know you have heard this before, the intention was
>> to
>> come in as conservative as possible, and know that we had all the
>> potential upside. In hindsight, perhaps we should have taken a
>> different approach, but I do believe that we can demonstrate that we
>> have a positive investment rationale as well.
>>
>> VICE-CHAIRMAN: So there was discussion around -- and I think it was
>> brought forward by Mr. Bourque and Dr. Richard, all about -- and Ms.
>> Desmond regarding the option of option in and option out. Have you
>> surveyed your current residential customers to see who will opt in and
>> who will opt out before making $123 million investment?
>>
>> MS. CLARK: Customer engagement is a big part of this project, and
>> we are as concerned as you would be about making that sort of an
>> investment. So we will be doing, as part of our customer engagement,
>> but part of it is the focus group that we did early on is people don't
>> understand what the smart meter is, so part of it would be around
>> education of what the smart meter is and the benefits it can provide
>> to customers. So we need to educate our customers first and then
>> allow them to make an informed decision. So that will be part of the
>> roll-out plan and we will check and adjust along the way. If there
>> are issues concerning the social engagement or a customer's uptake,
>> you know, this is very similar to what has been done in other
>> jurisdictions and they haven't had those challenges, but if we did, we
>> certainly wouldn't be looking at making an investment of this size
>> without having the customer with us.
>>
>> VICE-CHAIRMAN: Well don't you think, Ms. Clark, that you should
>> have your educational piece before the Board approves $123 million
>> spend?
>>
>> MS. CLARK: I recognize the challenge. The commitment the utility
>> would make is, as part of the project itself, we would be doing --
>> undertaking the engagement process with our customers again starting
>> with the education piece.
>> Assuming that was positive, we would proceed and we are prepared
>> to give the Board updates, as we come forward, either through the general
>> rate application or through any other process including the quarterly
>> updates we are providing at this point in time on our infrastructure, so
>> that
>> can be done and conditional with the approval of the project.
>>
>> VICE-CHAIRMAN: So I am trying to understand the objective of the
>> AMI, and there was discussion, so can -- and I am having a little bit
>> of difficulty understanding what is the objective or objectives that
>> you are trying to do with AMI?
>>
>>
>> Page 601
>>
>> VICE-CHAIRMAN: I was a bit surprised when I heard this morning and
>> yesterday that you are entering into a contract at the end of February
>> and is that with respect to the purchase of the smart meters?
>>
>> MS. CLARK: That's correct.
>>
>> VICE-CHAIRMAN: So how can you enter into a contract without the
>> firm approval of this Board, if we are going to approve or not the
>> AMI? How prudent is that?
>>
>> MS. CLARK: So we are at the end stages of the contract in terms of
>> just the final terms and conditions, but we have been very clear that
>> we -- with the vendor -- and they recognize that, because we also have
>> Nova Scotia Power, who is part of our consortium, who also needs Board
>> approval. So should we not get -- this is conditional on EUB
>> approval. So should we not get EUB approval, the contract would not
>> proceed.
>>
>> VICE-CHAIRMAN: Now there was discussion yesterday, I think it was
>> with Mr. Stoll regarding time of use and time based pricing, and so I
>> went through the evidence this morning, and in your main evidence, and
>> I think one of the objective of having the AMI going forward to a time
>> of use price structure -- rate structure. So am I understanding that
>> correctly?
>>
>> MS. CLARK: That is correct. And in the evidence, we did answer an
>> interrogatory on that and you will see that AMI is an enabler for time
>> varying rates in the Energy Smart NB Plan. And we did have time
>> varying rates included in our investment rationale. We took it out,
>> because we couldn't -- we couldn't pinpoint without more detail as to
>> what those time varying rates may be and the benefit of those, so we
>> took them out of the investment rationale at this point in time, but
>> certainly it's something that we are looking at in the future.
>>
>>
>> VICE-CHAIRMAN: So the fundamental question here is that the Board
>> should heard -- or hear Matter 357 before approving the AMI? So if we
>> don't approve time of use, that basically what will happen with your
>> AMI, I mean it's -- if we don't approve the time of use, which we are
>> going to hear next year, how can we proceed in approving the AMI
>> before we look at the rate structure?
>>
>> MS. CLARK: As we have talked about in our investment rationale,
>> there are a number of other benefits to both the customer and to the
>> utility over and above time varying rates that we believe are
>> important for the utility and for the movement forward of our Energy
>> Smart New Brunswick plan. Many of those benefits accrue to the
>> customer. And many of those benefits accrue to the utility and
>> ultimately the customer. So even if we were not to move in the
>> direction of time varying rates, we believe that the investment
>> rationale supports the AMI installation based on the other investment
>> -- or based on the other benefits that it provides.

>> Hey
>>
>> Clearly I have some serious issues to dispute with Darren Murphy the
>> CFO of NB POWER and the rest of his cohorts within a Crown
>> Corporation. This is as brief as I can make an argument in support of
>> the need of my testimony in the 375 Matter about what occured within

>> published why they should be prosecuted libel ASAP. Section 300 of the
>> Canadian Criminal Code applies to lawyers too. If you don't think I
>> was libeled then introduce me to your lawyer.
>>
>> The public shows that NBEUB did bar me for malicious reasons on
>> October 31st yet permitted me to attend the public hearings this month
>> in order to advise my friends Gerald Bourque and Roger Richard. On
>> February 7th Gerald Bourque did manage to ask Darren Murphy and his

>> NBEUB also allowed me to speak for 21 minutes during the Public
>> Session that evening but the transcript of the aforesaid session has
>> not been filed in the NBEUB records as of yet.
>>
>> My friends Gerald Bourque and Roger Richard as Intervenors in this

>> VICE-CHAIRMAN: Thank you. So there is the two interveners 6 or two
>> participants in the proceeding that have no legal counsel. One is Mr.
>> Richard and the other one is Mr. Bourque. So I just want to provide --
>> yes, Mr. Rouse?
>>
>> MR. ROUSE: I guess I don't have legal counsel either.
>>
>> VICE-CHAIRMAN: True. So you are -- NCFS doesn't have legal counsel?
>>
>> MR. ROUSE: That's correct.
>>
>> VICE-CHAIRMAN: So I will address the three of you then. So Mr. Bourque
>> and Mr. Rouse -- I think, Mr. Rouse, you know how the proceeding
>> proceeds. So Mr. Bourque, essentially when it comes and you have a
>> panel, they are subject to cross-examination. And if you do have any
>> questions specifically to the panel, you will be asked to come in
>> front and ask your question to whomever your questions you want to ask
>> to. Now if there is an objection to your questioning I would ask you
>> to stop and at that point what I will do is I will hear the person
>> who was objecting to your question and afterwards I will hear if you
>> have any other comments to make regarding the objection and we will
>> deal with those -- with the objection as it comes. So do you
>> understand that?
>>
>> MR. BOURQUE: Yes, I do and thanks for explaining it.
>>
>> VICE-CHAIRMAN: Okay. Thank you. Monsieur Richard, essentiellement
>> qu’est ce qui va arriver, pis quoi je mentionnais en anglais, c’est
>> que vous êtes non-représenté par un avocat donc vous – peut-être que
>> vous connaissez pas toute la façon que les procédures fonctionnent.
>> Donc, l’Énergie Nouveau-Brunswick a différent panel qui – qui vont
>> introduire pour – pour – pour contre-interrogatoire, donc si vous avez
>> des questions a demandé aux personnes, donc, vous allez poser vos
>> questions à ces personnes-là. Et puis si y’a une partie qui s’objecte
>> à votre question, j’vous demanderais juste d’arrêter. Et puis quoi ce
>> que la Commission va faire c’est qu’elle va entendre la partie qui
>> s’objecte. Et puis à ce moment-là j’vas vous demandez si vous avez
>> aucun commentaire à regarder l’objection et puis on – on va – on va
>> rendre une décision à ce point-là relativement à l’objection. Est-ce
>> que vous comprenez ceci.
>>
>> DR. RICHARD: Oui. Oui, Monsieur Vice-président.
>>
>> VICE-CHAIRMAN : Pis je comprends aussi que, Monsieur Richard, que vous
>> êtes un professionnel, donc durant la procédure vous serez pas ici à
>> tous les jours. J’pense que vous avez autorisé un Monsieur LeBlanc de
>> – d’être ici à – pour vous représenter lorsque vous serez dans votre
>> clinique. Je ne sais pas où votre clinique est, donc ce que je
>> comprends bien que cette personne-là va vous représentez lorsque vous
>> serez pas disponible.
>>
>> DR. RICHARD : Oui c’est bien ça

>> CROSS-EXAMINATION BY MR. BOURQUE:
>>
>> Q. - Mr. Murphy, as Chief Financial Officer, do you agree with 13 the
>> accounting of KPMG?
>>
>> MR. MURPHY: Sorry, do I understand the question, do I agree with the
>> accounting of KPMG?
>>
>> Q. - Yes.
>>
>> MR. MURPHY: Yes, I do.
>>
>> Q. - Do you know the account -- the KPMG auditor, and if so who are they?
>>
>> MR. MURPHY: Sorry, I am having a little difficult time 21 hearing up
>> here, did you say the owner or the author?
>>
>> Q. - The auditors, sorry about that.
>>
>> MR. MURPHY: Yes, I do. I know the primary partner on our particular
>> audit
>> file.
>>
>> Q. - Do you have a name for them?
>>
>> MR. MURPHY: Our primary audit partner is Jamie O'Neil.
>>
>> Q. - Jamie O'Neil. And I was a bit surprised that when I asked the
>> question earlier and there was -- the audit was not signed and any
>> business I have ever been involved with before, the auditors always
>> came and made the presentation of the audit and this didn't appear to
>> happen. Is there a reason for that?
>>
>> MR. MURPHY: So I am not exactly sure of the reference that's being
>> made, but our audit statements are signed every year. As described, we
>> have a very traditional process in terms of the auditors coming in and
>> making a final presentation to the boards of directors. It's at that
>> time that we do sign off on the audited statements and they are
>> available online for anybody to go in and view them.
>>
>> Q. - Mr. Murphy, are you familiar with David Amos and Greg Hickey and
>> their concerns about the payout to pulp mills by the NB Power Large
>> Industrial Renewable Energy Purchase programs and the fact that the
>> U.S. Department of Commerce consider it corporate welfare affecting
>> the American interest and with trade with Canada?
>>
>> MR. FUREY: Mr. Chair, we have been down this road before in previous
>> hearings. Mr. Hickey addressed this in at least one, and if I am not
>> mistaken, two hearings. And I believe where we objected to certain
>> questions of Mr. Hickey in the past like this, the Board concluded
>> that relevant questioning -- that it would be a relevant question to
>> ask questions related to compliance by NB Power with provisions of the
>> Electricity Act and the LIREPP regulation, the renewable regulation,
>> which includes the LIREPP program, but debate about policy, as to
>> whether or not LIREPP is a desirable policy is not a matter for this
>> Board and I think we have had that resolved in previous hearings.
>>
>> VICE-CHAIRMAN: Mr. Bourque, Mr. Furey is right. We did have -- when
>> Mr. Hickey was here last year, and I think at other hearings, we had
>> that debate and so it's a policy issue. If you have questions
>> regarding LIREPP, regarding compliance, I think you are permitted to
>> ask those questions, but if it's questions regarding policy, regarding
>> the LIREPP program, it's not relevant and it's in the legislation so
>> --
>>
>> MR. BOURQUE: I wasn't aware of what took place last year.
>>
>> Q. - Mr. Murphy, are you aware of my friend, David Amos and the
>> concerns with the NB Power since 2006?
>>
>> MR. MURPHY: I would not say that I am aware of any detailed concerns
>> that Mr. Amos has expressed.
>>
>> Q. - Have you read the filings that NB Power filed into the record of
>> this matter since -- on October 30th of 2017?
>>
>> MR. MURPHY: Yes, generally I have read all the documents.
>>
>> Q. - Have you read the transcript of the hearing on October 2 31st?
>>
>> MR. MURPHY: I did not read the transcript.
>>
>> Q. - And have you read the emails that Mr. Amos sent since then?
>>
>> MR. MURPHY: I did not read the emails. If there is something in
>> particular that's filed on evidence that you would like to bring up on
>> the screen for me to review, I am happy to review it and answer
>> questions on it, but I have not read the emails.
>>
>> Q. - Ms. Clark, why does NB Power consider the smart meter it wished
>> to attach to my home a federal matter? If I get sick, or because of
>> an injury to my home or property, do I sue the federal or do I sue NB
>> Power?
>>
>> MS. CLARK: So with respect to the smart meters, the AMI installation,
>> we would be complying with all of Health Canada's Guidelines with
>> respect to the meter installation.
>>
>> Q. - So if there is a problem NB Power is responsible for it or the
>> federal, if you are complying by the federal regulations?
>>
>> MR. FUREY: Mr. Vice-Chair, I don't think that's a fair question to
>> address to this panel.
>>
>> VICE-CHAIRMAN: Is there going to be another panel that can address his
>> question, Mr. Furey?
>>
>> MR. FUREY: Well to be asked to comment in advance on circumstances in
>> which liability might arise, you know, certainly if there is a
>> specific fact circumstance presented, maybe the question could be
>> answered, but this is very broad.
>>
>> VICE-CHAIRMAN: So are you suggesting that if he rephrases his
>> question that this panel could answer the question?
>>
>> MR. FUREY: I guess I would have to hear the question, but I -- what I
>> am saying is the question as framed is I think impossible to answer.
>> And it's unfair to ask any witness to commit to liability around a
>> question as broad as if something goes wrong.
>>
>> VICE-CHAIRMAN: Mr. Bourque, can you reframe your question?
>>
>> Q. - Well my -- my concern is the spending of a lot of money for the
>> smart meters. And as we heard earlier this morning, the temperature
>> has a big temp' -- a big effect on the use of power. Well do we need
>> to spend millions of dollars to tell us when the temperature gets
>> colder and that? NB Power knows that. When the temperature goes down,
>> they are going to have to start producing, you know, more power to
>> supply the demand. And I think it's really -- wonder if it's worth
>> sending that. The other thing is I have received some videos off the
>> internet of smart meters where they literally caught the side of the
>> house on fire. There was pictures of just around the meter and that.
>> So if that happens to my house, who is responsible?
>>
>> VICE-CHAIRMAN: Panel?
>>
>> MS. CLARK: I will address your question in two parts. The first part
>> of it is with respect to the installation of smart meters or the AMI
>> project. The example that was given would be a perfect reason for NB
>> Power to install advanced metering infrastructure. During the times
>> when the utility or when the province is facing very cold
>> temperatures, having the advanced metering infrastructure in place
>> would allow customers to have more information readily available
>> during the month. So when we are dealing with high bill complaints,
>> like we have been this last month due to the extremely cold
>> temperatures, customers would actually be able to see their usage
>> throughout the month and not be subject to receiving a final bill at
>> the end of the month and being surprised by their consumption because
>> of the cold weather. So this would be a perfect example of why the
>> advanced metering infrastructure would be in the -- it would be in the
>> benefit of our customers.
>> The second piece, I think with reference to the safety of meters, we
>> will be following Measurement Canada safety standards, Health Canada
>> safety standards. All of our meters will be tested. And during the
>> install, we will actually be able to look at customers' premises to
>> see if there are any issues related to safety that we should be
>> addressing at the time. There are specific incidents where there have
>> been some issues with meters being installed, but those are very
>> specific to either the geographical location where they were being
>> installed or the customers' equipment itself. But again when we are
>> actually installing the meters, as we are installing 355,000 meters
>> across the province, we will actually be able to visually inspect
>> each one of those locations to see if there is any issues with respect
>> to the meter itself or the installation that's on the customers'
>> premises. But it would depend on what exactly it is we find as to how
>> it would be handled.
>>
>> Q. - I got one final question. If a customer decides he doesn't want a
>> smart meter at his place, can he opt out?
>>
>> MS. CLARK: Yes, absolutely. We will have an opt out policy.
>>
>> MR. BOURQUE: Thank you.
>>
>> VICE-CHAIRMAN: Thank you. Is that all your questions, Mr. 20 Bourque?
>>
>> MR. BOURQUE: Yes.
>>
>> VICE-CHAIRMAN: Okay. Thank you.
>>
>> MR. BOURQUE: Thank you.

>> Page 590
>>
>> MR. CRONKHITE: That is a pretty broad statement. If you could be a
>> little bit more specific on restrictions you are referring to.
>>
>> Q. - Well for an example, Mr. Cronkhite, would be the LIREPP program
>> restricts how your generation assets are used. Would you agree with
>> that?
>>
>> MR. CRONKHITE: The LIREPP program is simply a input of renewable
>> resources into the system. It does not, in my opinion, for the size of
>> the contribution, restrict our operations in any way.
>>
>> Q. - Okay. You have purchase power agreements. Do they mot also
>> dictate or indicate how your generation assets can be used?
>>
>> MR. CRONKHITE: Certainly we do have power purchase arrangements when
>> energy would be an example where we need to incorporate that wind when
>> it's generated. As a result of that, we do position, so I think maybe
>> Ms. Desmond may be asking this that we do need to position our
>> remaining fleet to accommodate or adjust and follow that wind
>> variation as it operates today. Not unlike that we would have with
>> embedded generation assets, and to a much smaller degree obviously,
>> home generation around solar and different items such as that.
>>
>> Q. - If we were to maximize the benefits of AMI in our smart grid,
>> isn't it also true that we should maximize the use of our generation
>> supply assets that we currently have, and wouldn't that mean
>> revisiting some of these existing constraints?
>>
>> MR. CRONKHITE: We are always mindful of the existing commitments that
>> we have on our system today. When we look forward with respect to the
>> time frames, and as I mentioned earlier, that this is a managed
>> transition not over five years, but over 15, 20 and 25 years, we are
>> always mindful and that's why we have looked at power purchase
>> arrangements that are coming due in the mid-20s and beyond that we
>> allow the freedom and flexibility for us to make the correct
>> adjustments, as we move towards those particular milestones.
>> With respect to new generation coming on line, that's why we do the
>> modelling, that's why we do sensitivities around various scenarios to
>> ensure that we are optimizing to the best of our ability. One of the
>> foundational items around our Energy Smart NB plan is being able to

>>
>> Q. - I wasn't specifically asking about new generation. It really was

>>
>> MS. DESMOND: Okay. I think those are all of our questions though.
>> Thank you very much.
>>
>>
>> BY THE BOARD:
>>
>> VICE-CHAIRMAN: Thank you, Ms. Desmond. So I think we do have -- as
>> Board members we do have a couple of questions to ask. So I will
>> start. I am looking at your current business case that you have
>> before us with your total project contribution of minus $1.3 million.
>> And from the evidence that we have heard the last couple of days, is
>> that you consider this as a breakeven number, and I think that that's
>> what you were telling us, Ms. Clark.
>> So the normal individual, your rate customer, would you not
>> think that he would not perceive your $1.3 million as a breakeven
>> number?
>>
>> MS. CLARK: I guess in the context in which I was using breakeven is
>> it is an investment rationale document and it's intended to cover the
>> life cycle costs of the program, and those are assumptions and it's
>> hovering very close to zero when you look at it over the life cycle.
>> I think in the last few days of the hearing, we have indicated that
>> it's more than breakeven and would even say that if we were to
>> incorporate the adjustments, and the undertaking we just took from Ms.
>> Desmond to provide the adjustments that were recommended in the
>> Synapse report, we are looking at an investment rationale that is
>> leaning closer to probably $10 million or 8 or $9 million. And if we
>> were to quantify some of those non-quantifiable benefits and be less
>> conservative in some of the estimates that we put in the investment
>> rationale document, I think we could easily get to a $10 million
>> improvement.
>> Again, and I know you have heard this before, the intention
>> was to come in as conservative as possible, and know that we had all
>> the potential upside. In hindsight, perhaps we should have taken a
>> different approach, but I do believe that we can demonstrate that we
>> have a positive investment rationale as well.
>>
>> VICE-CHAIRMAN: So there was discussion around -- and I think it was
>> brought forward by Mr. Bourque and Dr. Richard, all about -- and Ms.
>> Desmond regarding the option of option in and option out. Have you
>> surveyed your current residential customers to see who will opt in and
>> who will opt out before making $123 million investment?
>>
>> MS. CLARK: Customer engagement is a big part of this project, and
>> we are as concerned as you would be about making that sort of an
>> investment. So we will be doing, as part of our customer engagement,
>> but part of it is the focus group that we did early on is people don't
>> understand what the smart meter is, so part of it would be around
>> education of what the smart meter is and the benefits it can provide
>> to customers. So we need to educate our customers first and then
>> allow them to make an informed decision. So that will be part of the
>> roll-out plan and we will check and adjust along the way. If there
>> are issues concerning the social engagement or a customer's uptake,
>> you know, this is very similar to what has been done in other
>> jurisdictions and they haven't had those challenges, but if we did, we
>> certainly wouldn't be looking at making an investment of this size
>> without having the customer with us.
>>
>> VICE-CHAIRMAN: Well don't you think, Ms. Clark, that you should
>> have your educational piece before the Board approves $123 million
>> spend?
>>
>> MS. CLARK: I recognize the challenge. The commitment the utility
>> would make is, as part of the project itself, we would be doing --
>> undertaking the engagement process with our customers again starting
>> with the education piece.
>> Assuming that was positive, we would proceed and we are
>> prepared to give the Board updates, as we come forward, either through
>> the general rate application or through any other process including
>> the quarterly updates we are providing at this point in time on our
>> infrastructure, so that can be done and conditional with the approval
>> of the project.
>>
>> VICE-CHAIRMAN: So I am trying to understand the objective of the
>> AMI, and there was discussion, so can -- and I am having a little bit
>> of difficulty understanding what is the objective or objectives that
>> you are trying to do with AMI?
>>
>>
>> Page 601
>>
>> VICE-CHAIRMAN: I was a bit surprised when I heard this morning and
>> yesterday that you are entering into a contract at the end of February
>> and is that with respect to the purchase of the smart meters?
>>
>> MS. CLARK: That's correct.
>>
>> VICE-CHAIRMAN: So how can you enter into a contract without the
>> firm approval of this Board, if we are going to approve or not the
>> AMI? How prudent is that?
>>
>> MS. CLARK: So we are at the end stages of the contract in terms of
>> just the final terms and conditions, but we have been very clear that
>> we -- with the vendor -- and they recognize that, because we also have
>> Nova Scotia Power, who is part of our consortium, who also needs Board
>> approval. So should we not get -- this is conditional on EUB
>> approval. So should we not get EUB approval, the contract would not
>> proceed.
>>
>> VICE-CHAIRMAN: Now there was discussion yesterday, I think it was
>> with Mr. Stoll regarding time of use and time based pricing, and so I
>> went through the evidence this morning, and in your main evidence, and
>> I think one of the objective of having the AMI going forward to a time
>> of use price structure -- rate structure. So am I understanding that
>> correctly?
>>
>> MS. CLARK: That is correct. And in the evidence, we did answer an
>> interrogatory on that and you will see that AMI is an enabler for time
>> varying rates in the Energy Smart NB Plan. And we did have time
>> varying rates included in our investment rationale. We took it out,
>> because we couldn't -- we couldn't pinpoint without more detail as to
>> what those time varying rates may be and the benefit of those, so we
>> took them out of the investment rationale at this point in time, but
>> certainly it's something that we are looking at in the future.
>>
>>
>> VICE-CHAIRMAN: So the fundamental question here is that the Board
>> should heard -- or hear Matter 357 before approving the AMI? So if we
>> don't approve time of use, that basically what will happen with your
>> AMI, I mean it's -- if we don't approve the time of use, which we are
>> going to hear next year, how can we proceed in approving the AMI
>> before we look at the rate structure?
>>
>> MS. CLARK: As we have talked about in our investment rationale,
>> there are a number of other benefits to both the customer and to the
>> utility over and above time varying rates that we believe are
>> important for the utility and for the movement forward of our Energy
>> Smart New Brunswick plan. Many of those benefits accrue to the
>> customer. And many of those benefits accrue to the utility and
>> ultimately the customer. So even if we were not to move in the
>> direction of time varying rates, we believe that the investment
>> rationale supports the AMI installation based on the other investment
>> -- or based on the other benefits that it provides.

>> CHAIRMAN: All right. I will now give the decision of the Board on this

>>
>> Mr. Amos seeks intervenor status in Matter 375. NB Power objects to

>> in Matter 357 was confrontational and that his arguments lacked any

>>
>> In the present matter, Mr. Amos was given ample opportunity to put
>> forward a case that would support a respectful and responsible
>> intervention. He failed to do so, rolling forward issues raised in
>> Matter 357 and not addressing the issue before us today.
>>
>> Mr. Amos states that the interests he would bring before the Board

>> The Board finds on a balance of probability that Mr. Amos will not

>> Finally, Mr. Amos had indicated that he wished to assist his two

Premier's message on the death of J. Gordon Petrie
05 November 2012

FREDERICTON (GNB) – The following is a message from Premier David
Alward on the death of prominent lawyer and legal scholar J. Gordon
Petrie of Fredericton:

We were very saddened to learn today of the passing of Gordon Petrie.
Mr. Petrie has been a prominent and vital member of and mentor to the
legal community in Fredericton and New Brunswick for more than four
decades.

Gordon Petrie attended the University of New Brunswick (UNB) on a
Beaverbrook Scholarship. He received his bachelor of arts degree in
1962 and graduated UNB’s School of Law in 1964. He received a master
of laws degree from the University of Michigan in 1965. Over the
course of his career, Mr. Petrie established a reputation as a skilled
litigator and a sought-after expert in labour and employment law.

During his long practice, he represented clients in a number of
high-profile cases in the highest courts of our province, federal
court and the Supreme Court of Canada; in judicial inquiries; before
the provincial labour relations board and the national labour board.
He served for many years as University Solicitor to UNB beginning in
1974 and lectured there as an adjunct professor of law.

Mr. Petrie also gave back to his profession in many ways. In addition
to teaching at UNB, he helped foster and prepare new lawyers through
the Canadian Bar Association and Law Society of New Brunswick. He also
served on the practice advisory panel of the Canadian Labour and
Employment Law Journal and on the ethics committee of the Law Society
of New Brunswick.

Mr. Petrie was honored as a Queen's counsel in 1984 and received an
honorary doctor of law degree from UNB in 2009. He was recently
honoured as Lawyer of the Year in labour and employment law by Best
Lawyers.

In May, we were proud to name him as chair of the new MRI advisory
committee because of his great experience and commitment to our
province. His passing leaves a significant void in the legal community
of New Brunswick.

On behalf of all New Brunswickers, I extend my deepest condolences to
the family and many friends and colleagues of Gordon Petrie.

Rep. Alcee Hastings, D-Fla., died Tuesday at age 84 after a
two-year bout with pancreatic cancer.
Democrats now hold a narrower margin in the House, with a 218-211
split, while six vacant seats remain.

Rep. Alcee Hastings, D-Fla., died Tuesday after a more than two-year
bout with pancreatic cancer, NBC News confirmed.

Hastings, who served in the House for nearly three decades, was 84.
Throughout his career, he held several key committee assignments and
leadership positions, most recently as vice chairman of the rules
committee. He had also been Florida’s first Black federal trial judge,
appointed to the bench in 1979 by President Jimmy Carter.

“As an attorney, civil rights activist and judge, and over his nearly
thirty years in Congress, he fought tirelessly to create opportunities
to lift up working families, communities of color, children and
immigrants,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi wrote in a statement.

President Joe Biden reacted to Hastings’ death on Tuesday afternoon.
“Across his long career of public service, Alcee always stood up to
fight for equality, and always showed up for the working people he
represented,” he said in a statement. “Jill and I are saddened to
learn of his passing.”

Democrats now hold a narrower advantage in the House, 218-211, giving
the party a smaller margin of error in passing legislation. Six seats
are vacant, four of which were previously held by Democrats and two by
Republicans.

Three of the four Democratic House seats were vacated by appointments
to positions in President Joe Biden’s Cabinet. Deb Haaland, of New
Mexico, was appointed secretary of the Department of Interior; Marcia
Fudge, of Ohio, was named head of the Department of Housing and Urban
Development, and Cedric Richmond, of Louisiana, became senior advisor
to the president and director of the White House Office of Public
Engagement.

One of the two vacant GOP seats is no longer up for contest. Julia
Letlow of Louisiana was elected in late March but has yet to be sworn
in. Julia will replace her late husband, Luke Letlow, who was elected
to the seat but died before being sworn in due to Covid-19
complications.

In 1983, when Hastings was a federal judge, he was acquitted in
criminal court on a charge of conspiring to solicit a bribe in
exchange for leniency in a sentencing.

Nevertheless, the House impeached Hastings in 1988 amid accusations
that he perjured himself during that criminal trial. The Senate voted
to convict him, removing him from the bench, but did not vote to
disqualify him from holding future office.

Hastings appealed the impeachment conviction in 1992. A federal judge
overturned the conviction, on the grounds that a 12-member Senate
committee, rather than the full Senate, conducted the impeachment
trial. This was the first time a Senate conviction was overturned by a
federal judge.

The next year, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled federal courts do not have
the authority to review the procedures of a Senate impeachment trial.
Hastings’ legislative career, which began with his election in 1992
and continued until his death, was unaffected by the decision.

Committee Assignments

Armed Services

Judiciary

Matt Gaetz, a member of the 116th Congress, is currently serving his
second term. He is a member of the House Armed Services Committee and
the Judiciary Committee. His work in Congress focuses on national
security, tax reform, regulatory reform, and adherence to
constitutional principles. Matt is devoted to the values upon which
our country was founded, earning the nickname of “constitutional
conservative champion.” Matt is an active member on the Climate
Solutions, Reformers, Animal Protection, and Robotics Caucuses.

Prior to serving in Congress, Matt worked as an attorney in Northwest
Florida with the Keefe, Anchors & Gordon law firm, where he advocated
for a more open and transparent government. In 2010, Matt was elected
to serve in the Florida House of Representatives to represent portions
of Okaloosa and Santa Rosa county. He was chairman of the Finance and
Tax Committee, where he authored and passed $1 billion in tax cuts,
all while balancing the state budget and repealing or replacing over
4,000 regulations. Matt also served as chairman of the Criminal
Justice Subcommittee, where he authored and passed some of America’s
toughest penalties against violent sexual predators.

From Florida to D.C., Matt has lived up to his reputation as an
outspoken conservative firebrand. Matt has been a prominent voice for
uncovering corruption within the Department of Justice and the Federal
Bureau of Investigation. Matt is passionate about making sure
government is accountable, transparent, honest.

Matt is proud to be a part of the historic passage of the Tax Cuts and
Jobs Act, which provided tax relief for workers, families, job
creators, and helped revitalize our nation’s economy.

Matt’s first bill that successfully passed through the House was H.R.
2370, the Escambia County Land Conveyance Act, giving leaseholders in
Santa Rosa Island the option to acquire fee simple titles to their
property. The bill also stipulates that the non-federal areas
dedicated for conservation, preservation, public access, and parking
will all be preserved permanently.

Since Northwest Florida is home to strategic military installations
such as Eglin AFB, Hurlburt Field, and Pensacola NAS, Matt has made it
a priority to ensure the military has extraordinary capabilities to
protect America. During the FY2019 National Defense Authorization Act
(NDAA), Matt secured numerous provisions, including an amendment for
SPACE-A travel benefits for veterans with service-related
disabilities, and a $41.9 million increase in funding to military test
ranges, including the Gulf Test Range.

Matt graduated from Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida,
with a bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary sciences. After
finishing his undergraduate studies, Matt moved to Williamsburg,
Virginia, to attend William & Mary Law School, where he received his
Juris Doctorate.

Matt was born in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, and is the son of Don and
Vickey Gaetz. Matt is a lifetime member of the National Rifle
Association, which has given him an A+ rating throughout his time in
the legislature, and First Baptist Church in Fort Walton Beach. When
Matt is not fighting for his constituents, he enjoys spending time
with his family and his dog Scarlett.

https://anchorsgordon.com/ben-gordon/

A native of Fort Walton Beach, Ben Gordon is a founding partner in
AnchorsGordon.

With over 20 years of experience focused on legal issues impacting
businesses and individuals, Ben works to avoid liability triggers as
general counsel as well as to resolve disputes through litigation. Ben
counsels new and existing businesses on creating a strong foundation
for a successful enterprise, including with respect to operating
agreements, contracts, and employment issues. In particular, Ben
frequently advises clients and litigates issues related to trade
secrets, non-compete, non-solicitation, and non-disclosure agreements.
Ben’s litigation practice primarily focuses on real estate litigation,
commercial litigation, corporate and partnership litigation, and
condominium/homeowner’s association litigation. Ben works closely with
real estate developers, commercial property owners, bars and
restaurants, retail businesses, and the hospitality industry, as well
as local Northwest Florida manufacturers, technology companies, and
government contractors.

Ben’s practice is strongly influenced by his legal experiences within
and beyond Northwest Florida. After graduating from law school, Ben
served as a law clerk for the Honorable C. Roger Vinson, Chief Judge
for the U. S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida in
Pensacola. Ben entered private practice as an attorney with King &
Spalding LLP in Washington, D.C., where he focused on complex business
litigation in state and federal courts throughout the country. While
Ben continues to spend significant time in D.C., his home is Northwest
Florida where he serves local businesses and clients, with his unique
understanding of how the local dynamics of this community interrelate
with the legal and business realities outside the region.

Ben and his family have a long history of service to our area, serving
as teachers, volunteers, and active leaders in our legal and business
communities. Ben’s father, the late Honorable Ben Gordon, Jr., served
Northwest Florida as a County Judge and Circuit Judge for more than
twenty years. Ben continues to serve his community in many roles,
including having been appointed by Florida’s governor to serve on the
Judicial Nomination Commission for the First Judicial Circuit and
serving as the chairman of the First Judicial Circuit’s Grievance
Committee B.

Ben and his wife Amanda have two children, with whom they love to
travel as often as possible and with whom they are regularly boating
when home in our emerald waters.

Raising a Little Hell- Lively Debate Provokes Crowd

By Erin Hatfield

"If you don't like what you got, why don't you change it? If your
world is all screwed up, rearrange it."

The 1979 Trooper song Raise a Little Hell blared on the speakers at
the 8th Hussars Sports Center Friday evening as people filed in to
watch the Fundy candidates debate the issues. It was an accurate, if
unofficial, theme song for the debate.

The crowd of over 200 spectators was dwarfed by the huge arena, but as
they chose their seats, it was clear the battle lines were drawn.
Supporters of Conservative candidate Rob Moore naturally took the blue
chairs on the right of the rink floor while John Herron's Liberalswent
left. There were splashes of orange, supporters of NDP Pat Hanratty,
mixed throughout. Perhaps the loudest applause came from a row towards
the back, where supporters of independent candidate David Amos sat.

The debate was moderated by Leo Melanson of CJCW Radio and was
organized by the Sussex Valley Jaycees. Candidates wereasked a barrage
of questions bypanelists Gisele McKnight of the Kings County Record
and Lisa Spencer of CJCW.

Staying true to party platforms for the most part, candidates
responded to questions about the gun registry, same sex marriage, the
exodus of young people from the Maritimes and regulated gas prices.
Herron and Moore were clear competitors,constantly challenging each
other on their answers and criticizing eachothers’ party leaders.
Hanratty flew under the radar, giving short, concise responses to the
questions while Amos provided some food for thought and a bit of comic
relief with quirky answers. "I was raised with a gun," Amos said in
response to the question of thenational gun registry. "Nobody's
getting mine and I'm not paying 10 cents for it."

Herron, a Progressive Conservative MP turned Liberal, veered from his
party'splatform with regard to gun control. "It was ill advised but
well intentioned," Herron said. "No matter what side of the house I am
on, I'm voting against it." Pat Hanratty agreed there were better
places for the gun registry dollars to be spent.Recreational hunters
shouldn't have been penalized by this gun registry," he said.

The gun registry issues provoked the tempers of Herron and Moore. At
one point Herron got out of his seat and threw a piece of paper in
front of Moore. "Read that," Herron said to Moore, referring to the
voting record of Conservative Party leader Steven Harper. According to
Herron, Harper voted in favour of the registry on the first and second
readings of the bill in 1995. "He voted against it when it counted, at
final count," Moore said. "We needa government with courage to
register sex offenders rather than register the property of law
abiding citizens."

The crowd was vocal throughout the evening, with white haired men and
women heckling from the Conservative side. "Shut up John," one woman
yelled. "How can you talk about selling out?" a man yelled whenHerron
spoke about his fear that the Conservatives are selling farmers out.

Although the Liberal side was less vocal, Kings East MLA Leroy
Armstrong weighed in at one point. "You’re out of touch," Armstrong
yelled to Moore from the crowd when the debate turned to the cost of
post-secondary education. Later in the evening Amos challenged
Armstrong to a public debate of their own. "Talk is cheap. Any time,
anyplace," Armstrong responded.

As the crowd made its way out of the building following the debate,
candidates worked the room. They shook hands with well-wishers and
fielded questions from spectators-all part of the decision-making
process for the June 28 vote.

The Unconventional Candidate

David Amos Isn’t Campaigning For Your Vote, But….

By Gisele McKnight

FUNDY—He has a pack of cigarettes in his shirt pocket, a chain on his
wallet, a beard at least a foot long, 60 motorcycles and a cell phone
that rings to the tune of "Yankee Doodle."

Meet the latest addition to the Fundy ballot—David Amos.

The independent candidate lives in Milton, Massachusetts with his wife
and two children, but his place of residence does not stop him from
running for office in Canada.

One has only to be at least 18, a Canadian citizen and not be in jail
to meet Elections Canada requirements.

When it came time to launch his political crusade, Amos chose his
favourite place to do so—Fundy.

Amos, 52, is running for political office because of his
dissatisfaction with politicians.

"I’ve become aware of much corruption involving our two countries," he
said. "The only way to fix corruption is in the political forum."

The journey that eventually led Amos to politics began in Sussex in
1987. He woke up one morning disillusioned with life and decided he
needed to change his life.

"I lost my faith in mankind," he said. "People go through that
sometimes in midlife."

So Amos, who’d lived in Sussex since 1973, closed his Four Corners
motorcycle shop, paid his bills and hit the road with Annie, his 1952
Panhead motorcycle.

"Annie and I rode around for awhile (three years, to be exact)
experiencing the milk of human kindness," he said. "This is how you
renew your faith in mankind – you help anyone you can, you never ask
for anything, but you take what they offer."

For those three years, they offered food, a place to sleep, odd jobs
and conversation all over North America.

Since he and Annie stopped wandering, he has married, fathered a son
and a daughter and become a house-husband – Mr. Mom, as he calls
himself.

He also describes himself in far more colourful terms—a motorcyclist
rather than a biker, a "fun-loving, free-thinking, pig-headed
individual," a "pissed-off Maritimer" rather than an activist, a proud
Canadian and a "wild colonial boy."

Ironically, the man who is running for office has never voted in his life.

"But I have no right to criticize unless I offer my name," he said.
"It’s alright to bitch in the kitchen, but can you walk the walk?"

Amos has no intention of actively campaigning.

"I didn’t appreciate it when they (politicians) pounded on my door
interrupting my dinner," he said. "If people are interested, they can
call me. I’m not going to drive my opinions down their throats."

And he has no campaign budget, nor does he want one.

"I won’t take any donations," he said. "Just try to give me some. It’s
not about money. It goes against what I’m fighting about."

What he’s fighting for is the discussion of issues – tainted blood,
the exploitation of the Maritimes’ gas and oil reserves and NAFTA, to
name a few.

"The political issues in the Maritimes involve the three Fs – fishing,
farming and forestry, but they forget foreign issues," he said. "I’m
death on NAFTA, the back room deals and free trade. I say chuck it
(NAFTA) out the window.

NAFTA is the North American Free Trade Agreement which allows an
easier flow of goods between Canada, the United States and Mexico.

Amos disagrees with the idea that a vote for him is a wasted vote.

"There are no wasted votes," he said. "I want people like me,
especially young people, to pay attention and exercise their right.
Don’t necessarily vote for me, but vote."

Although…if you’re going to vote anyway, Amos would be happy to have
your X by his name.

"I want people to go into that voting booth, see my name, laugh and
say, ‘what the hell.’"

Prosecutors say Joyce’s lawyer lied, should be pulled from trial

By Neal Simpson
The Patriot Ledger
Posted Jan 18, 2018 at 12:59 PM

BOSTON - Federal prosecutors have accused an attorney for former state
Sen. Brian Joyce of lying to state ethics officials and are asking a
judge to have him pulled from Joyce’s defense team if the former
legislator’s corruption case goes to trial.

In a motion filed earlier this month, prosecutors said lawyer Howard
Cooper had made “several material and false representations” to the
state Ethics Commission on behalf of Joyce, a Milton Democrat who is
accused of using the influence of his office to collect a series of
bribes, kickbacks and gifts, including hundreds of pounds of free
coffee and a Jeep.

Prosecutors say Cooper helped Joyce cover up at least two of his
schemes and could provide important testimony at trial.

Cooper, a founding partner at Todd & Weld in Boston, was not
identified by name in the 113-count indictment against Joyce, but
prosecutors said in their motion filed earlier this month that he was
the unnamed attorney described in the indictment as sending misleading
emails and letters to the Ethics Commission on Joyce’s behalf. Cooper
did not respond to request for comment Wednesday.

In one of those letters, sent in October 2016, prosecutors say Cooper
falsely told the Ethics Commission that Joyce had directed his
retirement account to purchase common stock in an energy-insurance
holding company doing business in Massachusetts.

In fact, prosecutors say, the retirement account was a sham created to
evade IRS penalties and hide Joyce’s direct investment in the company,
which stood to benefit from alternative-energy legislation that Joyce
was championing on Beacon Hill.

Prosecutors say Cooper also sent two misleading emails to the Ethics
Commission about Joyce’s relationship with a Dunkin’ Donuts franchisee
who made payments to Joyce and sent him free coffee at the same time
that the senator was pushing legislation that would help the
franchisee’s business.

Prosecutors said Joyce received hundreds of pounds of free coffee from
the franchisee – giving much of it away to constituents or fellow
state senators – but later tried to claim he paid for the coffee
deliveries or had received them in exchange for legal services
provided by his law firm.

In 2015, prosecutors say Cooper emailed the Ethics Commission and told
them Joyce had purchased the coffee he gave out to fellow senators the
previous Christmas. In reality, prosecutors say Joyce only paid for
the coffee only after The Boston Globe reported on the Christmas gifts
a month later.

Then in 2016, prosecutors say Cooper told the commission in an email
that an earlier delivery of coffee in 2013 had been made in exchange
for Joyce’s legal work on related to a Dunkin’ Donuts franchise. But
prosecutors say Joyce only invented that arrangement in 2015, two
years after the coffee had already been delivered.

Joyce was released last month on $250,000 bond secured by property he
owns in Canton. He is due back in court Feb. 23.

Accountant charged with helping ex-Sen. Brian Joyce defraud IRS

Federal prosecutors say John H. Nardozzi helped the former Milton
Democrat avoid paying almost $800,000 in taxes over a four-year
period.

WORCESTER — A longtime accountant for former state Sen. Brian Joyce
has been charged with helping the embattled Milton Democrat prepare
and file false income tax returns, federal officials said.

John. H. Nardozzi of Waltham is accused of aiding Joyce and his family
in defrauding the government out of almost $800,000 in taxes over a
four-year period, according to an indictment unsealed on Monday.

Joyce was charged in a separate federal indictment in December that
alleges he laundered more than $1 million in kickbacks and bribes
through his law practice and another private business.

Nardozzi will appear in federal court in Worcester on Monday
afternoon, charged with one count of conspiring to defraud the IRS and
eight counts of aiding and assisting in the filing of false tax
returns, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.

Prosecutors allege Nardozzi conspired with Joyce to defraud the IRS by
deducting millions of dollars in personal expenses as legitimate
business expenses, inflating self-employment income for Joyce and his
wife by more than $2 million in order to maximize retirement plan
contributions, falsifying withdrawals from a retirement account and
falsifying dividends on Joyce’s personal tax returns.

In total, Nardozzi is accused of misclassifying $2,268,520 to reduce
Joyce’s tax burden, according to prosecutors. Joyce’s law firm should
have paid out $850,748 in taxes during that period, of which Joyce
paid just $56,766.

“For tax years 2011 through and including 2014, defendant Nardozzi and
Joyce knowingly and willfully caused [Brian Joyce’s law firm] to avoid
paying approximately $793,982 in federal corporate income taxes,” the
indictment states.

Joyce, who moved to Westport with his family last year following an
FBI-raid on his law office, faces more than 100 charges ranging from
racketeering and extortion to money laundering and could place Joyce
behind bars for up to 20 years.

Then-Acting U.S. Attorney William Weinreb hinted in December at a
press conference announcing Joyce’s indictment that more arrests were
likely as the investigation into Joyce’s alleged corruption continued.

“He used his office as a criminal enterprise to make deals with his
business cronies and in exchange he took bribes, kickbacks ... and
took steps to conceal his corrupt acts,” Weinreb said at the time

Nardozzi’s indictment indicates that prosecutors believe the certified
public accountant played a part in that cover up.

Joyce and his wife bought $471,250 in common stock from a Delaware
energy insurance broker in 2014, $395,125 of which they paid for
though a series of early withdrawals from their retirement accounts.
In the Joyce indictment, prosecutors said the retirement account was a
sham created to evade IRS penalties and hide Joyce’s direct investment
in the company, which stood to benefit from alternative-energy
legislation that Joyce pushing on Beacon Hill.

Prosecutors allege Nardozzi, an accountant of 37 years, falsely
reported it as a tax-exempt retirement account rollover with the
intent to help the Joyce’s avoid paying taxes to the IRS.

“By reporting the early withdrawal of funds from the Joyce’s
retirement accounts as a tax-exempt rollover on Joyce’s 2014 personal
tax return... defendant Nardozzi and Joyce caused Joyce and Joyce’s
spouse to avoid paying approximately $208,100 in additional income
taxes and early withdrawal penalties,” the indictment states.

Nardozzi was not named in the original 113-count indictment against
Joyce. Joyce pleaded not guilty to the charges on Dec. 8 and is
currently free on a $250,000 bond.

Prosecutors have also fingered Joyce’s laweyr, Howard Cooper as taking
a role in Joyce’s corruption coverup. A motion filed earlier this
month asked a federal judge to remove Cooper from Joyce’s defense
team, accusing him of making “several material and false
representations” to the state Ethics Commission on behalf of Joyce.
Cooper has not been indicted, but prosecutors said Cooper helped Joyce
cover up at least two of his schemes, including the stock purchase,
and could provide important testimony at trial.

Prosecutors in Joyce case earn rebuke from legal community

By Neal Simpson
The Patriot Ledger
Posted Apr 4, 2018 at 4:47 PM

BOSTON — Federal prosecutors seeking to disqualify an attorney for
former state Sen. Brian Joyce from his upcoming corruption trial have
earned a rebuke from dozens of lawyers and several legal organizations
who accuse them of trying to to broaden their ability to have
defendants’ lawyers removed.

Prosecutors had argued that attorney Howard M. Cooper, founding
partner at Todd & Weld in Boston, should be stripped from Joyce’s
defense team at trial because Cooper has unwittingly helped Joyce
cover up some of his corrupt activities by submitting false statements
to the state Ethics Commission, making Cooper a potential witness to
Joyce’s crimes. But in an amicus brief submitted earlier this week, a
collection of lawyers and legal organizations argue that such thinking
would erode defendants’ Sixth Amendment right to their chosen counsel
and interfere with attorneys’ ability to represent their clients while
criminal charges are pending.

“Granting the present motion would threaten ethical and effective
advocacy by counsel in numerous other cases,” the brief reads. “It
would encourage the government to seek to disqualify counsel more
frequently in any of the array of circumstances in which defense
counsel may advocate on a client’s behalf and might present what the
government may later claim to be inaccurate information.”

The battle over the future of Joyce’s legal representation comes as
the former Milton Democrat faces a 113-count indictment accusing him
of turning his Beacon Hill office into a money-making venture where he
traded legislation and political influence for more than $1 million in
kickbacks, hundreds of pounds of free coffee and a 2014 Jeep. He was
arrested on the charges this past December and released on $250,000
bond.

A little more than a month after Joyce’s arrest, federal prosecutors
indicated that they would seek to disqualify Cooper from representing
Joyce at trial and could call him to testify about several statements
he made to the ethics commission on Joyce’s behalf. Some of those
statements had addressed the commission’s questions about whether the
senator had received free Dunkin’ Donuts coffee in exchange for
pushing favorable legislation, whether he’d filed legislation without
disclosing that it would benefit a client, and whether he’d appeared
before a state commission while concealing his financial investment in
the company.

Prosecutors have not suggested that Cooper was aware that the
statements were false, but said that Joyce had nonetheless “entangled
Attorney Cooper in the cover-up.” In a motion filed in late February,
prosecutors argued that Joyce had used Cooper’s statements to further
his crimes, making communications between the two exempt from
attorney-client privilege.

In response, Joyce accused prosecutors of trying to disqualify his
attorney by making him into a witness even through they hadn’t shown
any need for Cooper’s testimony. Joyce said he would even stipulate
that he himself had prepared and reviewed the statements that
prosecutors say were false.

Joyce, who is a lawyer, also argued Cooper had only submitted the
statements to defend Joyce against allegations of wrongdoing and had
not been involved in setting up the corrupt deals Joyce is accused of
making. Joyce hired Cooper and his firm, Todd & Weld, in March 2015
after Boston Globe reporters began asking Joyce’s office questions.

Joyce said disqualifying Cooper would violated his Sixth Amendment
right to choose his legal counsel and force him to find a new attorney
following the loss of his job, the end of his practice and “the
exhaustion of his resources.”

“Now the government takes aim at the one attorney who has represented
him throughout, in whom he reposes the greatest trust and confidence,
and ask the Court to require him to start over with new counsel he
does not want and cannot afford,” attorneys for Joyce and Cooper said
in a motion filed on their behalf. “This would be a cruel, unfair and
clearly unconstitutional blow.”

The Boston legal community apparently agrees. In a motion filed
Monday, a group including the Massachusetts Bar Association, the
Massachusetts Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the American
Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts and 71 individual attorneys
argued that the prosecutors’ request had “far-reaching and troubling
Sixth Amendment implications,” potentially opening the door for
prosecutors to have defense attorneys removed from a case by claiming
that they had previously presented inaccurate information on their
client’s behalf. The Boston Bar Association is seeking to file a
separate amicus brief.

“We believe the government’s motion threatens the constitutionally
protected right of a lawyer to present a client’s defense to courts
and to government agencies,” Jon Albano, president-elect of the Boston
Bar Association, said in a statement. “A lawyer should not be
disqualified for presenting a client’s side of a case when there is no
evidence that the lawyer knew the client was not telling the truth.”
