Advocate clears Liberals of voter fraud allegations after MLA complaint

Green MLA Kevin Arseneau raised concerns after grandmother with dementia was signed up to vote in Liberal race

A provincial watchdog says there's no evidence voter fraud occurred when a majority of residents at two Bathurst-area seniors' homes registered with the provincial Liberals in 2022. 

Seniors' advocate Kelly Lamrock reported his finding in a written response to allegations made by Green Party MLA Kevin Arseneau in the legislature last month. 

Arseneau raised the issue, and filed a complaint with Lamrock's office, after he said his grandmother, who has dementia, was registered by the Liberal Party at Foyer Chez Annie. 

Steven Sisk co-owns two homes in the Bathurst area. Arseneau said in the legislature that both of those homes saw the majority of residents register with the Liberal Party to vote in a leadership race. 

The Kent North MLA questioned whether all who were registered had given consent and called it a "suspected case of fraud and abuse." 

But Lamrock dismissed that allegation in a report sent to MLAs on Friday. 

"There is no evidence of any wrongdoing, directly or indirectly, by any member of the legislative assembly or any leader or agent of any registered political party," he said. 

"There is no evidence of any act which, in my understanding of the terms, constitutes fraud or abuse toward any senior or vulnerable adult."

MLA welcomes policy recommendation of seniors’ advocate

Duration 0:56
Kent North MLA Kevin Arseneau agrees with a recommendation from provincial seniors’ advocate Kelly Lamrock for clear rules on how special care homes collect and share seniors’ information. The recommendation follows concerns residents may have been registered to vote in a Liberal race without giving consent.

Hannah Fulton Johnston, executive director of the New Brunswick Liberal Party, said in a statement that she is satisfied with the report. 

"We are committed to ensuring that all party processes are conducted with the utmost integrity and transparency, and this report confirms that standard was upheld," she said. 

Sisk told CBC News a supporter of Liberal leadership candidate Donald Arseneault asked him to invite residents to join the party ahead of its vote for a new leader.

"Everyone who was enrolled consented to it," Sisk said. 

Declined to comment

Lamrock declined a request for comment. His report notes a response to the complaint was only made public because Arseneau raised it publicly.

"I understand [Arseneau's] suspicion when over 80 per cent of residents of a facility join the same party," he said in the report. 

"I note that in the 2020 election, that same party took nearly two-thirds of the vote [in this riding], however, so it does not require too fanciful a leap of the imagination to see a plausibility that a large number of residents found at least one of four leadership candidates intriguing enough to register."

While the advocate cleared all parties of wrongdoing, he said there was a "lack of structure, policy and process" in how Sisk and Foyer Chez Annie "approached residents" about signing up.

He recommended long-term care homes have a clear policy for collecting and sharing resident information and that the Department of Social Development provide training to that end — a change Arseneau said he would welcome. 

"I think that, morally, we have a duty to make sure that the process is in place, you know, [to] meet certain standards, and so on that point I'm pretty happy," he told reporters Wednesday. 

"At the end of the day, I think Social Development should be taking a lead and writing up a policy in how different senior citizens' homes will be able to approach this. Best practices." 

While the Department of Social Development said it would review the advocate's report, it has not said whether it will adopt that recommendation. 

"Although the legislative framework for voting in nursing homes falls under the Elections Act, not the Nursing Homes Act, the department will be reviewing the report to see if any changes should be considered moving forward," said spokesperson Kate Wright.

An that's unfortunate. By consistently voting Liberal almost solidly for the past 100 years, Bathurst has put itself in the unenviable position of being completely taken for granted by the Liberals who now do very little to try to win votes in the riding and of being pretty much written off by the Conservatives who do very little to win the riding as it seems to be a lost cause.

The result is that Bathurst has virtually no political clout either in Fredericton or Ottawa.

The ideal outcome in an election for Bathurst would be that they switch their vote to Conservative in an election with a majority Conservative government but only let that Conservative politician squeak in by a narrow margin.

Then, in the next election or the one after that, they could boot that Conservative out and vote Liberal again - but only if the Liberals make some interesting commitments for the riding.

Then, in the next election, they would throw out the Liberals and vote Conservative again - but only if the Conservatives make better commitments for the riding.

Voting in the same party all the time - whether it's the Liberals or the Conservatives - is a bad strategy.

New Brunswick Liberal Party Welcomes Advocate’s Report Findings

June 12, 2024

Fredericton, NB (June 12, 2024) — Last week the Child, Youth and Seniors Advocate released a report with the findings of his investigation into the petition initiated by the Member for Kent North, Mr. Kevin Arseneau. The report concludes that there is no evidence of any wrongdoing, fraud, or abuse towards any senior or vulnerable adult by any member of the Legislative Assembly or any leader or agent of any registered political party.

Hannah Fulton Johnston, Executive Director of the New Brunswick Liberal Party, expressed satisfaction with the report’s conclusions, “We are very pleased with the Advocate’s thorough investigation and the findings of the report. We are committed to ensuring that all party processes are conducted with the utmost  integrity and transparency, and this report confirms that standard was upheld.”

The petition, which raised concerns regarding the registration process of residents at Foyer Chez Annie, has been thoroughly reviewed. The Advocate’s findings highlight that while there were procedural gaps in how the facility approached resident registrations, there was no evidence of systemic wrongdoing or benefit derived from any erroneous registrations.

“I commend the Advocate’s office for their detailed and transparent review. This report reinforces our confidence in the processes and the dedication of those who support our democratic engagements,” said Susan Holt, Leader of the New Brunswick Liberal Party.

The New Brunswick Liberal Party remains committed to upholding the highest standards of ethical conduct and safeguarding the rights and interests of all citizens, particularly vulnerable groups.

Read the report here.

 

Advocate’s decision in the matter of a petition from the Member for Kent North, Mr. Kevin Arseneau.

 
Origin of the Matter
This is the Advocate’s decision in the matter of a petition from the Member for Kent North, Mr. Kevin
Arseneau.

On May 8, 2024, the Petitioner wrote to the Advocate requesting a review of certain events occurring
at the Foyer Chez Annie, which operates two special care homes in the Bathurst region.
 
The petitioner provided the Advocate with a membership list of the New Brunswick Liberal
Association (NBLA) from 2022, which showed that 53 residents of a 60-bed facility had joined the
NBLA, apparently during the 2022 leadership contest campaign period.
 
This high incidence of membership, combined with the petitioner’s ’s assertion that he knew of one
family member who appeared on the membership list and had told him that she did not consent to
the registration, led the petitioner to seek the remedy of a review of the events which led to the
registration of residents with the NBLA.

The Advocate’s Powers of Review and Investigation
 
The Petitioner wrote pursuant to Section 15(1) of the Child, Youth and Senior Advocate Act
(hereinafter “the Act”), which states that:
15(1) A person may petition the Advocate, in writing or otherwise, to review, investigate or provide
advocacy services in relation to a matter within the jurisdiction of the Advocate under this Act.1
When provided with a request for advocacy under the Act, the Advocate may first “receive and
review” the matter while proceeding under Section 13 of the Act:
13 (1) In carrying out the functions and duties of the office of Advocate, the Advocate may do any
of the following on petition to the Advocate or on his or her own initiative:
(a) receive and review a matter relating to a child, youth, adult under protection or senior or a
group of children, youths, adults under protection or seniors; […]2

Following that initial review, the Advocate may, at his discretion following an examination of a matter
and issues, pursue an alternative dispute resolution process or any advocacy process to address the
matter , or may pursue the procedures for a full “investigation or review” contained at Sections 19 and
20 of the Act. This larger “review” requires an affirmative decision of the Advocate to open a Section
19 ”review”, and the Act details steps the Advocate must take when moving to this more expansive
step.
19(1) Before commencing an investigation or review, the Advocate shall inform the administrative
head of any authority concerned of the intention to do so….3
 
It should be noted that while Section 13 and Section 19 both refer to the “review” of a matter
received by petition, they describe different functions. In fact, the French version of the Act does not
use the same wording. The Section 13 procedure is referred to as the power to “recevoir et examiner”
and the Section 19 procedure is “une enquête ou une révision”.

Child, Youth and Senior Advocate Act, SNB 2007, c C-2.7 at 15(1)1
Child, Youth and Senior Advocate Act, SNB 2007, c C-2.7 at 13(1)2
Child, Youth and Senior Advocate Act, SNB 2007, c C-2.7 at 19(1)3
 
It is my interpretation of these two sections that they grant the Advocate the powers of an initial
review, which is in fact in the meaning of an “examination”, as expressed in the French version of the
Act, where preliminary enquiries may be made by the Advocate for the purposes of determining how
to proceed. The Advocate may then, in his discretion, use one of his powers under Section 13 to
resolve the matter, dismiss the matter as per Section 17, or commence a more fulsome, formal inquiry
under Section 19 of the Act.

The Advocate may decline to investigate the matter if other processes are adequate to address it, or
may determine after examination that no advocacy is warranted;
17(1) The Advocate may, in his or her discretion, refuse to or cease to review, investigate or
provide advocacy services in relation to a matter in the following circumstances:
(a) an adequate remedy or right of appeal already exists, regardless of whether the petitioner
has availed himself or herself of the remedy or right of appeal;
(b) the petition is trivial, frivolous, vexatious or not made in good faith;
(c) having regard to all the circumstances of the case, further investigation or review is
unnecessary;
(d) the petition relates to a decision, recommendation, act or omission that the petitioner has
had knowledge of for more than one year before making the petition;
(e) the petitioner does not have a sufficient personal interest in the matter; or
(f) upon a balance of convenience between the public interest and the person aggrieved, the Advocate is of the opinion that the petition should not be investigated or reviewed.4
 
Upon receipt of the Petitioner’s complaint, I have had my office make preliminary enquiries under my
Section 13 mandate to receive and review the matter, and am detailing which of those remedies I
have chosen to exercise going forward. I am presuming the Petitioner’s request for an inquiry to be a
request for a Section 19 review, although I note that the Advocate has powers of inquiry under the
Inquiries Act, per s. 18 of the Child, Youth and Senior Advocate Act.
Child, Youth and Senior Advocate Act, SNB 2007, c C-2.7 at 174
 
The Advocate’s Jurisdiction
 
It is important to note that my ability to compel evidence, make findings and issue recommendations
are defined by the Act that defines my authority. As a Legislative Officer, the Advocate is charged with
providing oversight of public bodies in their treatment of the rights and interests of children, youth
and seniors and providing information to the Assembly and the public on how those rights and
interests can be better served. “Public bodies” are listed in the Act and that list is exhaustive. The
Advocate has broad discretion to define what issues fall within his jurisdiction, but the deference and
powers under the Act follow the Advocate within his jurisdiction.

What this means in the matter at hand is that the Advocate is not charged with the integrity of
elections or the efficacy of voting and registration procedures. While all citizens, including youth and
seniors, have democratic rights at play, there is no particular interest that arises uniquely apart from
the citizenship interests generally at play. The Legislative Assembly has tasked others, to varying
degrees, with oversight of elections, political parties and politicians, but has not chosen to grant the
Advocate those powers.

As well, it is established at law that political parties are private entities which do not attract
government-level duties under the Charter. Like any private entity, they can be regulated by the
government but absent some statutory regime their common law duties to their members is governed
by the law of contract. That is to say that a political party may owe its members a duty to follow the
rules as a condition of the membership agreement, but they do not have a public duty which would
make them a public body under the Advocate’s oversight.

The Act does list special care homes such as Foyer Chez Annie, and the Department of Social
Development which regulates them, as public bodies. So, my examination powers are most efficiently
and effectively limited to the actions and decisions of those public bodies as they pertain to the rights
and interests of seniors and vulnerable adults involved in the facts set out in this matter.

The Initial Review Upon Reception

The Petitioner, Mr. Kevin Arseneau, provided as prima facie proof to back his complaint a membership
list purporting to be that of the New Brunswick Liberal Association for the ridings of Bathurst East-
Nepisiguit-St. Isidore and Restigouche-Chaleur circa 2022. This list did, indeed, contain the names of
53 individuals who listed Foyer Chez Annie as their home address, along with the owner of the facility, Mr. Steven Sisk. As the Liberal Party has made public statements affirming that the list is a true copy,
Mr. Arseneau’s statements validating the list are not necessary to recount here.

A member of our staff reached out to Mr. Arseneau to ensure that he had a full opportunity to share
any information upon which he was relying in making the allegations contained in his petition, and to
ask him to clarify precisely what actions he was alleging violated the rights of seniors and vulnerable
adults at the Foyer Chez Annie.

Our investigator also communicated with Mr. Sisk and asked for his voluntary, written response to our
questions regarding how residents of his facility came to be members of the NBLA.

Mr. Arseneau clarified that he had no evidence to suggest that threats, coercion or inducements were
used in the registration of Foyer Chez Annie residents with the NBLA. Rather, his concern was that the
residents were signed up without their knowledge or consent. In support of that allegation, on a
prima facie basis, he offered two indirect statements from individuals who reported conversations
with residents who said that they had not consented to be registered. There was no direct statement
offered from any resident. For the vast majority of residents who appeared on the list, there is no
evidence of any complaint. Nor was there any evidence of any compliant being raised during the
NBLA leadership campaign from either residents or campaigns of registered leadership contestants.
 
The prima facie evidence is, effectively, two indirect statements, the observable fact that a significant
percentage of residents who appeared on the list, and the fact that the owner also appeared to be a
member of the NBLA.

As the Petitioner also made his complaint public, announcing the filing of it on the floor of the House
within hours of submitting it and giving further interviews, I have also had access to public statements
reported in the media and, at this preliminary stage, have considered these where relevant.

Mr. Sisk did voluntarily reply to our enquiries. He confirmed that he and his team did affirmatively
offer to help residents who wished to vote in the Liberal leadership race to attain and complete the
necessary membership forms. He noted that he himself did so after speaking with an acquaintance
who was working on the leadership campaign of Mr. Donald Arseneault, one of the ultimately
unsuccessful leadership aspirants. Mr. Sisk stated that he delegated some of the task to his staff but
that he directed his team to survey interest and to offer to help people register only if they expressed
an interest in doing so. He did not provide us with any written procedure, for doing so. Mr. Sisk also
noted that, as a Level 2 facility, Foyer Chez Annie has residents with capacity and interest to
participate in public affairs, and that he has facilitated access to these voters for candidates from
numerous parties.
 
Formal Reviews As A Remedy
 
It should be noted that the Advocate has broad discretion under Section 17 to consider the public
interest and circumstances beyond the complaint itself in deciding when to proceed to a full review or
investigation. This is clear direction from the legislature to the Advocate to set priorities with scarce
resources. The Advocate’s Office has under 20 employees, and one can see that full scale reviews or
investigations are done at most a few times a year.

In recent years, investigations have been done on issues such as the death of a youth in custody, the
discovery of young children living in abject neglect while under the auspices of child protection, the
suicide of a youth after being discharged from urgent care, and the death of a nursing home resident
at the hands of another resident. There are also systemic reviews on the quality of long-term care, the
denial of education services to children with disabilities, and the experiences of young people in the
care of Social Development. It would not diminish other issues to note that these are extremely
serious matters. At any given time, the Advocate’s Office has investigators reviewing cases of child
and elder abuse, child protection files, youth experiencing homelessness and children with disabilities
receiving services. New investigations will use resources currently working on these types of files.
 
Opening an investigation or formal review is not a trivial matter, and the Advocate must always
consider if a petition for an investigation or formal review is the best use of resources.

In exercising this discretion, there are factors I will consider in deciding whether to end my advocacy
at Section 13, to dismiss under Section 17, or open a full-scale review or investigation under Section
19 of the Act. Those factors include, but are not limited to:
(a) the nature of the right or interest at stake,
(b) the degree and severity of the violafon alleged,
(c) the quality of prima facie evidence of a violafon of right or transgression of interest,
(d) whether or not the alleged rights violafon is due to the person’s status as a child or senior, or
whether the interest is one of general applicafon which happens to involve a child or senior,
(e) the availability and effecfveness of remedies available under Secfon 13 or through other
avenues,
(f) the impact upon the resources, mandate and perceived neutrality of the Office of the Advocate.
 
 
The Nature of the Right or Interest At Stake and the Severity of the Violation
 
The Petitioner has offered no prima facie evidence of any use of threats, coercion, inducement or
deprivation aimed at any senior or vulnerable adult in order to gain their co-operation in joining a
party. Indeed, the Petitioner has never claimed to. His petition is founded on the possibility that a
senior or vulnerable adult was placed upon a party membership list without their knowledge or
without their consent.

Let me say immediately that people should not be signed up for any group, activity or service without
their knowledge or consent. When this happens, it is a violation of their right to autonomy and self-
determination. If personal details are part of the registration process, privacy rights may be engaged.
 
Of course, not all rights violations are of similar degrees. The right against arbitrary arrest and
detention has been invoked in cases involving both random traffic stops and individuals being strip
searched while in jail without charges for days. Both may have been violations, but they are not
equally egregious. A violation of privacy rights can be anything from a school posting a student’s
middle name without consent up to the online circulation of intimate photographs. Both are
violations, but no one would say that is necessarily equal in severity.

Here, the alleged violation would be that someone provided a person’s name and co-ordinates to a
private organization which published them on a list whose distribution is somewhat controlled. Unlike
cases of fraud, there is no monetary or proprietary detriment to the individual registered or monetary
or proprietary benefit to the home or the NBLA. A party list full of inactive or unwilling members
imposes an administrative burden on political parties without any real benefit.

Of course, being placed on a list without consent can be a negative. If someone signed me up to a
party list without my consent and it created a perception that I had breached my political neutrality as
Advocate, that would be a tangible harm. There is no prima facie evidence of any such tangible harm
in this case.
 
While an unauthorized registration would cause a privacy issue in the sharing of the name and
address, I would note that there is no evidence here of broad distribution. In fact, the Petitioner
himself has acknowledged providing the list to members of the media and has made statements that
this is acceptable because he was confident that members of the media would not share it. It is a
Member’s discretion to use his or her platform to bring awareness to issues, and I make no negative
finding there. Nor would this information likely have given rise to the Member having a duty under
the Right to Information and Protection of Privacy Act. However, it may be worth letting members
know that if they do have private information, sharing it with unauthorized people in confidence with
the understanding they won’t share it further is not the standard for privacy. At the very least, I must
consider, in assessing the degree of any privacy breach, that the Petitioner has circulated the private
information himself, when submitting it to the Advocate alone was sufficient to ground his request for
a remedy.
 
Against the autonomy and privacy rights at stake I must weigh the presence of a right that is furthered
by homes facilitating registration of their members. Seniors and vulnerable adults have a right to
vote. I would be loathe to become so overzealous in avoiding errors in registration that I create a
chilling effect which makes people reluctant to assist the seniors and vulnerable adults in residential
facilities from exercising those rights. Indeed, I have noted some online comments and even those
made in political forums which seem to imply that votes cast by residents of nursing homes and
special care homes are somehow inherently illegitimate. This is itself an ageist and ableist view, and I
congratulate the Petitioner for the obvious pains he has taken to be clear that he is not saying this.
 
The Elections Act actually contains specific provisions for the establishment of polls in residential
facilities, for returning officers to register residents en masse (Section 20(6)) and for special ballots5 6
to be brought to those whose mobility issues preclude a trip to a polling station. It is not only
acceptable to engage residents of special care and nursing homes to register and to vote, it is a legal
duty.

I understand that some may intuitively have concerns about capacity. However, I would note that the
Elections Act contains no requirement of capacity in order to exercise the right to vote. If a senior
citizen presents at a polling station in 2024 and announces that she is there to support Tommy
Douglas and the CCF, or that nice Mr. Diefenbaker, the poll worker is to provide her a ballot. While
this may seem counterintuitive, the right to vote is one where we do not get to stand in judgement of
anyone’s subjective reasons for their vote. Many citizens, not just seniors, may cast ballots with
understandings of the facts and analyses that others find wanting. But that is the nature of elections –
we vote how we want whether others like our reasons or not. The history of imposing knowledge or
capacity tests on citizens voting is an unhappy one, as we saw in the pre-civil rights U.S. South when
“literacy tests” were used to target certain groups from casting ballots. Voting is an act where no one
else gets to impose an objective standard on our choice.
 
ElecSons Act, RSNB 1973, c E-3 at 2 “treatment centre”5
 
ElecSons Act, RSNB 1973, c E-3 at 20.6(1)(a.1)6
 
Indeed, party leadership and nomination contests even allow those without the capacity to vote in
general elections to vote. I note that all three parties with representation in the Legislative Assembly
have age requirements lower than the general election standard of 18 years of age.
 
A child as young as 14 may identify as a Green Party member without parental notification or consent.
 
A child as young as 14 may identify as a Liberal Party member without parental notification or
consent.

A child as young as 14 may identify as a Progressive Conservative Party member without parental
notification or consent.

While on other issues there has been debate and disagreement as to when children may exercise their
rights without parental notification or consent, it appears that when it comes to recruiting their own
party members, all three parties embrace the “evolving capacity of the child” doctrine.

In the riding of Kent North alone, 1,085 special ballots were cast, and 416 of those were cast for the
Petitioner. Efforts of campaigns to identify supporters who need help getting a ballot and facilitating
their voting is not exploitative, because the ability to cast a vote is not a gift to the politician, it is a
furtherance of the individual’s right to vote.

I make this point because it cannot be exploitative to help someone register to vote even if they lack
capacity, because their right to vote exists regardless of capacity. While practices which habitually
place people on lists without consent must be discouraged, I also must be careful not to create a
chilling effect which will make people reluctant to help facilitate helping these groups vote. That
could create a greater rights violation than the appearance of a name on a list without consent.
 
The Quality of Prima Facie Evidence
 
At this stage of examination of the matter, I certainly take the Petitioner at his word as a Member that
he had the conversations he says that he had with regards to the indirect statements, and the
authenticity of the list has been affirmed by the NBLA.

I must be careful to use our investigative resources responsibly and our powers to compel others to
give evidence judiciously. It is one thing when presented with direct evidence of a serious rights
violation. However, I cannot simply dispatch investigators to double check everyone under 19 or over
65 who joins a political party. As long as people have lived, worshipped, or assembled in groups of
common demographics, there have been politicians eager to meet them and mobilize them to vote.
From the Old Brewery Mission members in the Mulroney-Clark leadership wars of 1983 to the
students at the Cool Camel in 1999 to the battles over high school students voting in a nomination
meeting in a Saint John federal riding in 2006 to unfounded complaints over Tobique First Nation
polling stations t in the 1995 Victoria-Tobique election, mass mobilization has always been an issue.
 
Threats and bribes are unacceptable. But, as per my comments on capacity and reasons, people do
not have to give an accounting of why they chose to vote a certain way. If people register for parties
or vote for candidates because someone invited them to, or because their friends were, or because
they were bored, that is their right. If a group of 18-year-olds coming from a residence show up to
vote at a nomination meeting, interviewing them all might not reveal that each could provide a
carefully-researched statement as to why they are voting. But they are not required to.

If the Advocate dispatched investigators simply on the standard that a high percentage of people in a
common area voted the same way or joined the same party, I would soon be double checking every
large turnout from a university dormitory, from a nursing home, or even signups for a local
nomination fight where parents and children over 14 all register together. At some point, there has to
be a presumption of validity absent some direct evidence of significant wrongdoing.

Indeed, all three parties represented in the Assembly have this presumption. My preliminary review
has found numerous people who have joined one of the three parties online. Online, one could
register a child, friend or even a stranger of any age online without their permission. In all cases, it
appears parties process the application with a presumption of validity. If there is then a question or
complaint, a further review happens. Given that parties in New Brunswick have limited resources and
the benefits to registering the unwilling is quite limited, I cannot say this is exploitative. I cannot find
exploitation due to a presumption of validity here when all parties more or less use the same
presumption. Indeed, during a competitive and close leadership race, the incentive for a rival
campaign to raise the issue is high, so it is not meaningless that this did not occur.
 
I understand the Petitioner’s suspicion when over 80% of residents of a facility join the same party. I
note that in the 2020 election, that same party took nearly two-thirds of the vote, however, so it does
not require too fanciful a leap of the imagination to see a plausibility that a large number of residents
found at least one of four leadership candidates intriguing enough to register. At the very least, to pull
investigators off cases of child abuse and denial of education files I would need more than a suspicion
and two indirect statements of erroneous registration.
 
Centrality To Mandate
 
As noted, because capacity is not an issue in registering to vote, it is hard to see seniors as a uniquely
vulnerable group. As I noted, while people should not be registered without consent, the online
nature of registration used by all three parties would allow this to happen to anyone.
 
In general, the Advocate must give priority to cases where people are at risk or have a special need
because of their status as children, vulnerable adults, or seniors, not matters where the person
happens to be a child, vulnerable adults, or senior but the event could have happened to anyone.
 
The Availability of Other Remedies
 
Parties generally operate under a presumption of validity for membership applications because the
harm of an erroneous registration is quite small and the remedy is simple – if the person who does
not wish to be on the list complains, they should be removed from the list. There is no evidence that
any seniors involved or their agents tried this simple remedy and were rebuffed.

Issues of electoral validity could be addressed to the Returning officer of the NBLA’s leadership
process. There is no evidence that this occurred. These remedies exist and are more direct and
effective than an Advocate investigation or full review under Section 19 of the Act.
 
Conclusion and Findings

My initial review has found that there was a lack of structure, policy and process in how Mr. Sisk and
Foyer Chez Annie approached residents regarding this matter, although there is no evidence to
contradict his statement that he generally facilitates contact with all political parties in good faith. He
should not be discouraged from doing so, although a duty of care exists to protect the autonomy and
privacy of those in his care. Mr. Sisk says that he did not knowingly register anyone without their
consent, and while he delegated this task without clear policies or monitoring structure, the indirect
evidence of two errors after the fact would not justify a finding that he knowingly set out to
systemically register residents without consent, nor is there any evidence that he (or anyone) received
a benefit or even a vote from any erroneous registration.

I do have the power under Section 13(f) of the Child, Youth and Senior Advocate Act to recommend to
the Foyer Chez Annie that they adopt written policies on gaining consent to share residents’
information with third parties, and that the Department of Social Development consider guidance and
training in this area. That remedy seems proportionate to the facts my initial review has uncovered.
Sadly, in our current time, it has become a common political tactic to make a complaint and then use
the existence of the complaint to attack a political rival as being under investigation before the result
can come out. I am absolutely not saying that is the case here – I have every reason to take the
Petitioner at his word that he had a genuine concern for residents and a very personal connection. I
say this not because of a concern in this case, but to explain why it will be my practice to ensure that
my procedure discourages such things generally. As such, I will report my finding in this matter that
there is no evidence of any wrongdoing, directly or indirectly, by any Member of the Legislative
Assembly or any leader or agent of any registered political party. There is no evidence of any act
which, in my understanding of the terms, constitutes fraud or abuse toward any senior or vulnerable
adult. Because this matter has become public through the Petitioner, I am making this decision public
rather than reporting only to the Petitioner.
 
I believe that the remedies I have taken here under Section 13 of the Act are sufficient and do not
believe that the public interest requires diverting investigative resources from our other files to a
Section 19 investigation of this matter.
 
I thank the Petitioner for his vigilance and interest in watching out for the interests of seniors and
vulnerable adults. Nothing in this decision should be construed as discouraging those with concerns
from using the avenue of a complaint to the Advocate, and I note that he has done so legitimately.

In Kent North

Carole Boudreau was born on November 29, 1958, in Petit-Rocher, New Brunswick.

Ms. Boudreau is presently retired. She has undergone a certification with the Alternative Medicine College of Canada as Natural Health Practitioner with an Aromatherapy specialization. She also has a certification with the Marietta College as a Mental Wellness Coach. Ms. Boudreau graduated in 1976 from École Secondaire Népisiguit in Bathurst.

Being the mom of two beautiful daughters, Monique and Noémie, she was on the School District Board on two occasions and has also been an avid defender’s right of individuals affected with Fetal Alcohol spectrum disorder and their families.

Being French Acadian is part of her heritage. However, she is very proud of being bilingual and a resident of the only province in Canada with two official languages: English and French. Being part of the People’s Alliance of NB is a privilege that she has welcomed with open arms since they value the same ethical reasoning that she believes in: “It is not about the party. It is about the people that you represent”.

Ms. Boudreau is passionate about learning and sharing her knowledge with others. She enjoys sewing, knitting, crochet and any other needlecrafts projects. She is also an author of three books.

She is presently living in Richibouctou-Village with her faithful companion, her cat Raphie, where she can enjoy the morning ocean’s breeze and the visit of many different wild life, while sipping on a cup of coffee and thinking of all the things that she will be able to help people with in the near future by being part of the People’s Alliance of NB.

Hi, my name is Carole Boudreau. For a few years now, because of personal circumstances and the need to know more about optimal health, I decided to take a course in Natural Health. Since that time, I am continuously looking for new products that could help us, the baby-boomers, to live a better life. You will find on this site everything that might help you to feel good on the inside, and everything that might help you to look great on the outside.

Kent North (electoral district)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kent North

Kent North (French: Kent-Nord) is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick, Canada.

The district was established in the 1973 redistribution which saw New Brunswick move from a system of plurality-at-large voting (with multi-member ridings) to a first-past-the-post voting system (with single-member ridings). It took the northern third of the former three-member district for Kent County. In the 1994 redistribution, it added the Rogersville area from Northumberland County and was renamed Rogersville-Kouchibouguac. In the 2006 redistribution, it lost minor territory to Kent, but it regained that territory in 2013 as well as additional territory in the Five Rivers and Elsipogtog areas. Following the 2013 changes, it returned to its original name of Kent North.
