Rogers CEO in hot seat as MPs grill him over contracts customers call unfair and misleading

Tony Staffieri says his company's contracts are 'clear and transparent'

The CEO of Rogers Communications was in the hot seat Monday, facing pointed questions on Parliament Hill.

MPs on the Commons committee on industry and technology summoned Tony Staffieri to testify, after he skipped a scheduled appearance last week and sent a subordinate via videoconference instead.

The committee wanted to question Staffieri after revelations in a Go Public investigation — hundreds of Rogers customers say they're outraged after their bills for internet, TV and home phone jumped, even though they'd signed a contract, believing they had a guaranteed monthly price.

Rogers can charge customers more for things such as rented TV boxes, thanks to a clause in the contract.

"I'd like to know why you think that's OK," Nova Scotia Conservative MP Rick Perkins asked. "And how many other buried costs do you have that you can jack up, and rip Canadians off on?"

"Shouldn't Canadians be able to count on a fixed-rate contract being stable, with no surprises?" asked Liberal MP Ryan Turnbull.

Staffieri defended his company's practices, saying price guarantees only apply to base services and that customers can remove certain add-ons — like TV box rentals — without penalties.

Asked whether customers are specifically told that fees could go up mid-contract, Staffieri repeatedly insisted that Rogers customer service agents, and the company's contracts, are "clear and transparent."

Alberta Conservative MP Michelle Rempel-Garner suggested Staffieri and Rogers were "danc[ing] around the salient details" with both the committee and its customers.

She also brought up the case of Cathy Cooper — the first Rogers customer from Victoria who told Go Public that it was not clearly explained that her monthly bill could increase.

"If I reviewed that contract, do you think it's reasonable for me to understand it?" Rempel-Garner asked Staffieri, before requesting that Rogers submit that contract to the committee for review.

Staffieri agreed and also agreed to provide the recorded phone call Cooper had with the Rogers agent when she signed the two-year deal.

'Disgusting behaviour'

Despite Staffieri's insistence that Rogers contracts are "clear and transparent," Go Public continues to hear from frustrated Canadians such as Laurie Michalycia of Saskatoon.

Insert image: Laurie Michalycia says she was never told her monthly Rogers bill of $199 could increase when she signed a two-year deal in August for internet, TV and phone. By November, her bill for those services was $220.

She signed a two-year deal for internet, TV and home phone in August, saying she made it clear to the Rogers agent that she could not pay more than $199 a month before taxes and long-distance calls. To get her bill to that price, she even lowered her internet speed.

But by November, her bill for those services had increased to $220.

"You're locked into a term, but they can change the price on you," said Michalycia. "It's disgusting."

A Rogers spokesperson said Michalycia was told that price guarantees only apply to base services, and that customers can remove add-ons like TV box rentals without penalties.

Michalycia figures the unexpected monthly charges will cost her more than $250 over a year.

"And then these companies have the gall to announce the billions of dollars that they are making off the backs of us through deceitful contracts," she said. "It's just plain ethically wrong."

Michalycia was so angered, she fired off a letter to the telecom regulator, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC).

"This is disgusting behaviour," she wrote. "They are falsely selling us contracted plans, which we can't get out of, but they can change at will, with no consequences."

"The CRTC has to step in and do something."

The CRTC's head of consumer research, Scott Hutton, says it has begun public consultations which will, in part, examine clauses that allow telcos such as Rogers, Bell and Telus to increase prices mid-contract.

"We are going out to listen to Canadians," said Hutton. "To put in place new rules to actually correct the root cause of what's in the contract."

Rogers CEO defends contracts, price increases to MPs

Rogers CEO Tony Staffieri defended the company’s contracts and price increases when questioned by frustrated MPs about customer complaints regarding ‘misleading’ contracts.

Not 'proactively disclosing'

Later this week, committee members are expected to pass a motion to report their displeasure with Rogers to the House of Commons, saying they are displeased that the company is not "proactively disclosing" fee increases that can occur while customers are locked in.

Mark Graham, a senior vice-president at Bell, also attended the meeting via video, and was similarly asked questions about his company's practice of increasing fees during a contract.

"Our pricing terms are clearly displayed," said Graham, saying the company gives "explicit notice" to customers about fee increases.

The committee has also requested a representative from Telus to appear.

Michalycia says she feels stuck in her Rogers contract, because it's too costly to pay the penalty to end it early.

She says she hopes other frustrated customers will let their providers — and government — know that the contracts are unfair and need to change.

"The only way it's going to happen is if we stick together," said Michalycia. "Everybody needs to speak out. And put these companies on notice that we're not going to take their crap anymore."

Rogers CEO summoned to Ottawa after avoiding questions about price increases in contracts

Parliamentary committee requests Rogers CEO appearance in wake of consumer complaints to Go Public

The CEO of Rogers Communications has been summoned to testify before a parliamentary committee after trying to avoid the limelight on Thursday by sending a subordinate to defend contracts for TV, internet and home phone that can increase in price while customers are locked in.

Last month, after Go Public reported that Rogers was increasing the monthly price of television box rentals, the standing committee on industry and technology requested testimony from Tony Staffieri.

After delaying an appearance once, Staffieri was set to appear on Thursday. Instead, at the last minute, Rogers' president of residential operations, Bret Leech, joined the committee virtually, unleashing a storm of criticism from MPs across all parties.

"They ... did a rope-a-dope," said NDP MP Brian Masse, who tabled the original motion to hear from Staffieri. "I don't have much interest in questioning this witness."

"This is pathetic," Conservative MP Rick Perkins said, adding that Staffieri declined two other invitations earlier this year — although he did appear once in March. "How many times do you have to be kicked in the you-know-what before you say I've had enough?"

Got a story you want investigated? Contact Erica and the Go Public team

"I think what we're experiencing here is much like the service customers experience with Rogers," Conservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner said. "The behaviour of the CEO towards this committee ... they think we're stupid, colleagues, they really do."

The committee unanimously passed a motion summoning Staffieri to appear within seven days.

A Rogers spokesperson told Go Public that Staffieri did not appear, as requested, due to "an unforeseen scheduling conflict" but will co-operate with the summons and appear before the committee next week.

The issue that prompted the request to hear from Staffieri was a $7 price hike for every Rogers TV box in a household but one ($12 for newer customers), which unleashed a wave of frustration from the company's customers across the country.

Hundreds of people wrote to Go Public, many saying they were misled into signing contracts they thought guaranteed a regular monthly price for the duration of the agreement — unaware of a clause in the contract that allows Rogers to increase prices for various services.

"They're [contracts] marketed as a fixed rate ... except if you're a Rogers customer, apparently, you gotta read the 42 pages of the contract," Perkins said in committee. "Buried in that is the escape valve."

Masse said companies such as Rogers have a responsibility to respond to parliamentary requests to address concerns about their operations. "When these companies often get public dollars for investments on their infrastructure and so forth, and tax cuts and breaks and grants, they should be more forthcoming with regards to how they treat Canadians," he said.

During the committee's discussion, Leech was shown on the large screen sitting silently, along with other MPs attending the meeting virtually. He did not utter a single word and was instructed by MPs to let Staffieri, his CEO, know they were displeased with his absence.

MPs have also asked to hear from Bell Canada CEO Mirko Bibic and Telus CEO Darren Entwistle about price increases that consumers say have caught them off guard. No date was specified for their appearances.

CRTC holding consultations

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) says it is also worrisome that Canadians are being surprised by unexpected price changes in Rogers contracts.

"We share their concerns," Scott Hutton, the CRTC's vice-president of consumer, analytics and strategy, told Go Public. "We are fully aware that Canadians are struggling with affordability these days."

Last week the regulator announced public consultations that it says will, in part, review contract clauses that allow companies to increase prices during a contract.

"That issue will be squarely on our agenda," Hutton said. "To address in-contract changes and how Canadians can be protected."

Rogers CEO dodges appearance about ‘misleading’ contracts

Rogers CEO Tony Staffieri skipped an appearance at a government committee to answer questions about revelations from a CBC News Go Public investigation into ‘misleading’ contracts that resulted in customer bills being higher than anticipated.

Hutton also sent a sternly worded letter three weeks ago to Bell, Rogers, Telus and other telecom providers, reminding them that "Service providers should not be surprising their customers with price increases beyond the price they had originally agreed to."

Hutton said Canadians "need to be far more aware" of the Commission for Complaints for Telecom-television Services (CCTS), a mediator for telecom providers and their customers.

People who can't resolve a dispute with their provider can file a complaint. The CCTS told Go Public that in October, it observed an "uptick in complaints generally from Rogers TV customers," shortly after Rogers implemented its increase for TV box rentals.

Cecilia Blye

Chief, Office of Global Security Risk

Securities and Exchange Commission

100 F Street, N.E.

Washington, D.C. 20549

Re:	Rogers Communication Inc.

Form 40-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016

Filed February 9, 2017

File No. 1-10805

Dear Ms. Blye:

We hereby acknowledge receipt of the comment letter dated March 31, 2017 (the “Comment Letter”) from the Office of Global Security Risk (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) concerning the above captioned Form 40-F (the “Form 40-F”). On behalf of Rogers Communications Inc. (the “Company”), we submit this letter in response to the Comment Letter. For ease of reference, we have reproduced the text of the comments in bold-faced type below, followed by our responses.

Your website provides country coverage information including voice rates, text messaging rates and data rates for Syria and Sudan, and the Rogers Long Distance website lists Syria and Sudan on its list of Included Destinations. Syria and Sudan are designated by the U.S. Department of State as state sponsors of terrorism, and are subject to U.S. economic sanctions and export controls. Your Form 40-F does not include disclosure about those countries. Please describe to us the nature and extent of any past, current, and anticipated contacts with Syria and Sudan, whether through subsidiaries, affiliates, distributors, resellers, or other direct or indirect arrangements. You should describe any products, components, technology or services you have provided to Syria and Sudan, directly or indirectly, and any agreements, commercial arrangements, or other contacts with the governments of those countries or entities they control.

The only activities of the Company or its subsidiaries, affiliates, distributors and resellers that currently or have in the past involved contacts with Syria or Sudan are telecommunications roaming arrangements with certain mobile operators relating to these countries (the “Roaming Operators”).

All of the Company’s agreements with Roaming Operators in Syria were suspended in 2012. The Company does not currently have any active telecommunications roaming arrangements in place with Roaming Operators in Syria. Certain information relating to roaming in Syria was erroneously placed on our website recently, but we have now removed those references.

Pursuant to the roaming agreements with Roaming Operators in Sudan, the Company’s subscribers receive customary international roaming services on the Roaming Operators’ networks in Sudan and the Roaming Operators’ subscribers receive such services while roaming on the Company’s network in Canada.

With regards to long distance calls made by the Company’s subscribers to numbers in Sudan and Syria, the Company does not have business relationships or any voice network interconnections with any service providers in Sudan or Syria. Instead calls to Sudan and Syria are transited using the services of a variety of third party telecommunications service providers. The Company also receives incoming calls from numbers located in Sudan and Syria through a variety of third party telecommunications service providers.

The Company has not provided any telecommunications equipment, components, software or technology to Sudan or Syria.

Please discuss the materiality of any contacts with Syria or Sudan you describe in response to the comment above, and whether those contacts constitute a material investment risk for your security holders. You should address materiality in quantitative terms, including the approximate dollar amounts of any associated revenues, assets, and liabilities for the last three fiscal years and the subsequent interim period. Also, address materiality in terms of qualitative factors that a reasonable investor would deem important in making an investment decision, including the potential impact of corporate activities upon a company’s reputation and share value. Various state and municipal governments, universities, and other investors have proposed or adopted divestment or similar initiatives regarding investment in companies that do business with U.S.-designated state sponsors of terrorism. You should address the potential impact of the investor sentiment evidenced by such actions directed toward companies that have operations associated with Syria and Sudan.

The Company considers amounts paid to and received from Roaming Operators in Sudan to be, individually and in the aggregate, immaterial in quantitative terms. The following table shows the total outbound expense and total inbound revenue from all Roaming Operators in Sudan for each of the last three fiscal years (the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015, and 2016) and for the three months ended March 31 (2017). All amounts are in US dollars.


	2014		2015		2016		2017 (Till March 31)
Total Outbound Expense	$	46,068	$	204,113	$	64,789	$	11,548
Total Inbound Revenue	$	4,764	$	2,570	$	1,878	$	61

As noted above, the Company’s roaming arrangements with Roaming Operators in Syria were suspended in 2012.

The Company also considers amounts paid in connection with transiting calls made by the Company’s subscribers to numbers in Sudan and Syria to be, individually and in the aggregate, immaterial in quantitative terms. The following table shows the total long distance expenses paid in connection with calls transited to Sudan and Syria for each of the last three fiscal years (the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015, and 2016) and for the three months ended March 31 (2017). All amounts are in US dollars.


	2014		2015		2016		2017 (Till March 31)
Calls transited to numbers in Sudan	$	17,870	$	19,101	$	30,604	$	8,208
Calls transited to numbers in Syria	$	20,879	$	11,343	$	15,100	$	3,967

The Company does not have any subsidiaries, offices, facilities, employees or other assets located in Sudan or Syria and has not maintained any assets in these countries in the past.

The Company has no reason to believe that the activities described above are harmful to the Company’s reputation or share value, or that they would constitute a material investment risk for its shareholders. The Company is not aware of any divestment measures maintained by state or municipal governments, universities or other investors that would apply to or restrict the activities described above.

Accordingly, the Company believes that the very limited telecommunications-related contacts the Company has with Sudan and the transiting of long distance calls to and from numbers in Sudan and Syria are not material to the Company, its financial condition or its results of operations, in either quantitative or qualitative terms.

Please do not hesitate to contact me at 416-935-2620 if you have further questions.

Sincerely,

/s/ Anthony Staffieri

RE: Blowing the whistle on big banks and corrupt politicians too.

Hey,

Flaherty’s budget looming on the horizon tonight is gonna get the big
OK from the Bloc EH? Well a mean old bike mechanic in the Maritimes
has been waiting to chuck a wrench in the works of many a crooked
beancounter. I just served your offices in hand some of the same
material that Andre Arthur MP and Senator Kinsella received before the
39th Parliament began. I am also giving you other material and a
political rant that they did not receive. The legal counsel of all the
monstrous Canadian banks have shown me their arses, two for a month
and three for almost two years. It is high time to boot you bankers
out off bed with the corrupt politicians you depend on to cover up
wrongs or sue you bastards too. N’est pas?
You can expect to see litigation against the Crown soon. The severe of
lack integrity of people employed in public service to protect the
public interests has caused me to prosecute a matter of public trust
in Pro Se fashion. As is my right. I will do my best to hold
accountable all those in public office, public service and the lawyers
etc that have acted wrongfully against me. In the past I filed forms
in the public record and in confidence, argued cops, sued treasury
agents, lawyers, judges, an Attorney General who aspires to be a
Governor and even a high priest. To no avail, I made thousands of
phone calls, sent many more emails and sent mountains of letters
proving my concerns and sincerity. To date no one has ever called me a
liar but all of it was ignored all the same. If there were such a
thing as an honest cop, lawyer or politician they could never deny
that it is ridiculous that a whistleblower would have to go to such
lengths to attempt to see Justice served in two purported Democracies.
Pursuant to my quest for Justice, you will find enclosed hard copy of
the material that I promised I would send to you before we meet in
court. The copy of wiretap tape # 139 that all law enforcement
authorities in Canada and the USA have refused investigate should be
of the greatest concern to all of you right away. It is served upon
you in confidence as officers of the court. Prepare to argue me about
many more tapes and cases of other documents. The bankers and I may be
arguing the Securities, Bank and Tax Fraud in the USA sooner than they
think. The AT&T dudes should have known police surveillance tapes when
they heard them. EH?
Whether you admit it or not, I know I have served upon you some of the
irrefutable evidence that should have warranted the process to impeach
George W. Bush years ago. All who sat in the 37th, 38th and now the
39th Parliament know why the Yankee DHS tried to take me away to Cuba
on April 1st, 2003. It was because of my legitimate efforts to expose
Bush and his cohorts BEFORE the War on Iraq began. For years legions
of politicians, lawyers, cops, bankers and priests proved an Orwellian
truth as they laughed at my ethical efforts to defend the rights and
interests of my Clan. "In the time of universal deceit, telling the
truth is a revolutionary act" EH? Do you think your banks’ investors
will laugh like your lawyers did? By law and the rules of your
professions you must conduct yourselves ethically and hold matters in
confidence. I do not. Now it is a rebel rouser’s turn to laugh as you
turn page. Awful truths will put your fancy panties in a knot yet make
me feel as free as my big balls do under my kilt.

A champion for a better future in Malpeque

Heath MacDonald and Justin Trudeau are the only team with a real plan
to grow our economy, protect people’s health, protect a clean
environment, and make life better for families right here in our
community.

While Erin O’Toole’s Conservatives are focused on going backward with
cuts to vital services that families rely on, Liberals will keep
moving forward with bold action to create good new jobs, invest in the
middle class and the most vulnerable, and ensure that everyone has a
real and fair chance at success.

Together, we can elect a dedicated Liberal Member of Parliament to
work with Justin Trudeau to build a better future for everyone.

Exactly 10 years ago today, at 1:07 PM, CFTA 107.9 began transmitting
a test broadcast, as was required by Industry Canada and the CRTC. A
few weeks later, we sent up a temporary studio in an old GMC van at
the tower site, that allowed limited live shows until our studios in
Victoria Court were up and running. Shortly after we signed on, this

Cumberland North pits high-profile Independent vs. former 7-term MP

Newcomers for the PCs and NDP, meanwhile, hope to shake things up in
border district
Michael Gorman · CBC News · Posted: Aug 10, 2021 6:00 AM AT

While some people see this as a two-person race, David Wightman and
Lauren Skabar are hoping to change that.

Running for the Progressive Conservatives, Wightman has had some
catching up to do because of his late entry into the campaign.
Election materials were late arriving, and while Smith-McCrossin and
Casey signs pepper the district, Wightman only recently started
putting his up.

But he's hoping a platform that focuses on health care, along with
community anger directed at the Liberals, will hold him in good stead.

"I think the Liberals have had their turn to try and fix things, and I
think they've only gotten worse," he said, pointing to the growing
wait list of people looking for a family doctor.

While he expresses interest in working on a variety of issues,
Wightman said health care is top of mind for him as a stroke survivor
and because his wife went through treatment for cancer. There are
aspects of the system unique to that region that Wightman hopes to
address.

"One of the things I'd like to see is a better approach to how to get
people to medical appointments that are travelling back and forth
across the [New Brunswick] border," he said.
A time to unite

Skabar is the NDP candidate. Her father, Brian, was elected in the
district in 2009 as part of the NDP's surge to power, but she said
politics was in her blood long before that.

Health care for the area is a major issue, said Skabar, given routine
emergency department closures at community sites and difficulties
getting enough nurses and doctors to the region.

"Until we start incentivizing health-care professionals coming to
places like Cumberland North and our smaller communities, we aren't
going to see any improvements," she said.

"Both Houston and Burrill were critical of Rankin dropping this idea
in the midst of an election campaign.

"I don't think it indicates the kind of grasp and soundness that we
would look to see from a party that seeks to govern the province,"
said Burrill.

Houston said: "I'll just speak bluntly, our campaign is going very
well and he's concerned heading into the last week of the campaign."

>>>>>>>>> PRESENT: The Honourable Mr. Justice Bell
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>> BETWEEN:
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>> DAVID RAYMOND AMOS
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>> Plaintiff
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>> and
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>> HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>> Defendant
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>> ORDER
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>> (Delivered orally from the Bench in Fredericton, New Brunswick, on
>>>>>>>>> December 14, 2015)
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>> The Plaintiff seeks an appeal de novo, by way of motion pursuant
>>>>>>>>> to
>>>>>>>>> the Federal Courts Rules (SOR/98-106), from an Order made on
>>>>>>>>> November
>>>>>>>>> 12, 2015, in which Prothonotary Morneau struck the Statement of
>>>>>>>>> Claim
>>>>>>>>> in its entirety.
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>> At the outset of the hearing, the Plaintiff brought to my
>>>>>>>>> attention
>>>>>>>>> a
>>>>>>>>> letter dated September 10, 2004, which he sent to me, in my then
>>>>>>>>> capacity as Past President of the New Brunswick Branch of the
>>>>>>>>> Canadian
>>>>>>>>> Bar Association, and the then President of the Branch, Kathleen
>>>>>>>>> Quigg,
>>>>>>>>> (now a Justice of the New Brunswick Court of Appeal). In that
>>>>>>>>> letter
>>>>>>>>> he stated:
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>> As for your past President, Mr. Bell, may I suggest that you check
>>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>>> work of Frank McKenna before I sue your entire law firm including
>>>>>>>>> you.
>>>>>>>>> You are your brother’s keeper.
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>> Frank McKenna is the former Premier of New Brunswick and a former
>>>>>>>>> colleague of mine at the law firm of McInnes Cooper. In addition
>>>>>>>>> to
>>>>>>>>> expressing an intention to sue me, the Plaintiff refers to a
>>>>>>>>> number
>>>>>>>>> of
>>>>>>>>> people in his Motion Record who he appears to contend may be
>>>>>>>>> witnesses
>>>>>>>>> or potential parties to be added. Those individuals who are known
>>>>>>>>> to
>>>>>>>>> me personally, include, but are not limited to the former Prime
>>>>>>>>> Minister of Canada, The Right Honourable Stephen Harper; former
>>>>>>>>> Attorney General of Canada and now a Justice of the Manitoba Court
>>>>>>>>> of
>>>>>>>>> Queen’s Bench, Vic Toews; former member of Parliament Rob Moore;
>>>>>>>>> former Director of Policing Services, the late Grant Garneau;
>>>>>>>>> former
>>>>>>>>> Chief of the Fredericton Police Force, Barry McKnight; former
>>>>>>>>> Staff
>>>>>>>>> Sergeant Danny Copp; my former colleagues on the New Brunswick
>>>>>>>>> Court
>>>>>>>>> of Appeal, Justices Bradley V. Green and Kathleen Quigg, and,
>>>>>>>>> retired
>>>>>>>>> Assistant Commissioner Wayne Lang of the Royal Canadian Mounted
>>>>>>>>> Police.
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>> In the circumstances, given the threat in 2004 to sue me in my
>>>>>>>>> personal capacity and my past and present relationship with many
>>>>>>>>> potential witnesses and/or potential parties to the litigation, I
>>>>>>>>> am
>>>>>>>>> of the view there would be a reasonable apprehension of bias
>>>>>>>>> should
>>>>>>>>> I
>>>>>>>>> hear this motion. See Justice de Grandpré’s dissenting judgment in
>>>>>>>>> Committee for Justice and Liberty et al v National Energy Board et
>>>>>>>>> al,
>>>>>>>>> [1978] 1 SCR 369 at p 394 for the applicable test regarding
>>>>>>>>> allegations of bias. In the circumstances, although neither party
>>>>>>>>> has
>>>>>>>>> requested I recuse myself, I consider it appropriate that I do so.
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>> AS A RESULT OF MY RECUSAL, THIS COURT ORDERS that the
>>>>>>>>> Administrator
>>>>>>>>> of
>>>>>>>>> the Court schedule another date for the hearing of the motion.
>>>>>>>>> There
>>>>>>>>> is no order as to costs.

>>>>>>>> REASONS FOR JUDGMENT BY THE COURT
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> I. Introduction
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> [1] On September 16, 2015, David Raymond Amos (Mr.
>>>>>>>> Amos)
>>>>>>>> filed a 53-page Statement of Claim (the Claim) in Federal Court
>>>>>>>> against Her Majesty the Queen (the Crown). Mr. Amos claims $11
>>>>>>>> million
>>>>>>>> in damages and a public apology from the Prime Minister and
>>>>>>>> Provincial
>>>>>>>> Premiers for being illegally barred from accessing parliamentary
>>>>>>>> properties and seeks a declaration from the Minister of Public
>>>>>>>> Safety
>>>>>>>> that the Canadian Government will no longer allow the Royal
>>>>>>>> Canadian
>>>>>>>> Mounted Police (RCMP) and Canadian Forces to harass him and his
>>>>>>>> clan
>>>>>>>> (Claim at para. 96).
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> [2] On November 12, 2015 (Docket T-1557-15), by way
>>>>>>>> of
>>>>>>>> a
>>>>>>>> motion brought by the Crown, a prothonotary of the Federal Court
>>>>>>>> (the
>>>>>>>> Prothonotary) struck the Claim in its entirety, without leave to
>>>>>>>> amend, on the basis that it was plain and obvious that the Claim
>>>>>>>> disclosed no reasonable claim, the Claim was fundamentally
>>>>>>>> vexatious,
>>>>>>>> and the Claim could not be salvaged by way of further amendment
>>>>>>>> (the
>>>>>>>> Prothontary’s Order).
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> [3] On January 25, 2016 (2016 FC 93), by way of Mr.
>>>>>>>> Amos’ appeal from the Prothonotary’s Order, a judge of the Federal
>>>>>>>> Court (the Judge), reviewing the matter de novo, struck all of Mr.
>>>>>>>> Amos’ claims for relief with the exception of the claim for damages
>>>>>>>> for being barred by the RCMP from the New Brunswick legislature in
>>>>>>>> 2004 (the Federal Court Judgment).
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> [4] Mr. Amos appealed and the Crown cross-appealed
>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>> Federal Court Judgment. Further to the issuance of a Notice of
>>>>>>>> Status
>>>>>>>> Review, Mr. Amos’ appeal was dismissed for delay on December 19,
>>>>>>>> 2016.
>>>>>>>> As such, the only matter before this Court is the Crown’s
>>>>>>>> cross-appeal.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> II. Preliminary Matter
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> [5] Mr. Amos, in his memorandum of fact and law in
>>>>>>>> relation to the cross-appeal that was filed with this Court on
>>>>>>>> March
>>>>>>>> 6, 2017, indicated that several judges of this Court, including two
>>>>>>>> of
>>>>>>>> the judges of this panel, had a conflict of interest in this
>>>>>>>> appeal.
>>>>>>>> This was the first time that he identified the judges whom he
>>>>>>>> believed
>>>>>>>> had a conflict of interest in a document that was filed with this
>>>>>>>> Court. In his notice of appeal he had alluded to a conflict with
>>>>>>>> several judges but did not name those judges.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> [6] Mr. Amos was of the view that he did not have to
>>>>>>>> identify the judges in any document filed with this Court because
>>>>>>>> he
>>>>>>>> had identified the judges in various documents that had been filed
>>>>>>>> with the Federal Court. In his view the Federal Court and the
>>>>>>>> Federal
>>>>>>>> Court of Appeal are the same court and therefore any document filed
>>>>>>>> in
>>>>>>>> the Federal Court would be filed in this Court. This view is based
>>>>>>>> on
>>>>>>>> subsections 5(4) and 5.1(4) of the Federal Courts Act, R.S.C.,
>>>>>>>> 1985,
>>>>>>>> c. F-7:
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> 5(4) Every judge of the Federal Court is, by virtue of his or her
>>>>>>>> office, a judge of the Federal Court of Appeal and has all the
>>>>>>>> jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court
>>>>>>>> of
>>>>>>>> Appeal.
>>>>>>>> […]
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> 5(4) Les juges de la Cour fédérale sont d’office juges de la Cour
>>>>>>>> d’appel fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs
>>>>>>>> que
>>>>>>>> les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale.
>>>>>>>> […]
>>>>>>>> 5.1(4) Every judge of the Federal Court of Appeal is, by virtue of
>>>>>>>> that office, a judge of the Federal Court and has all the
>>>>>>>> jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> 5.1(4) Les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale sont d’office juges de
>>>>>>>> la
>>>>>>>> Cour fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que
>>>>>>>> les
>>>>>>>> juges de la Cour fédérale.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> [7] However, these subsections only provide that the
>>>>>>>> judges of the Federal Court are also judges of this Court (and vice
>>>>>>>> versa). It does not mean that there is only one court. If the
>>>>>>>> Federal
>>>>>>>> Court and this Court were one Court, there would be no need for
>>>>>>>> this
>>>>>>>> section.
>>>>>>>> [8] Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act
>>>>>>>> provide
>>>>>>>> that:
>>>>>>>> 3 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the Federal
>>>>>>>> Court
>>>>>>>> — Appeal Division is continued under the name “Federal Court of
>>>>>>>> Appeal” in English and “Cour d’appel fédérale” in French. It is
>>>>>>>> continued as an additional court of law, equity and admiralty in
>>>>>>>> and
>>>>>>>> for Canada, for the better administration of the laws of Canada and
>>>>>>>> as
>>>>>>>> a superior court of record having civil and criminal jurisdiction.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> 3 La Section d’appel, aussi appelée la Cour d’appel ou la Cour
>>>>>>>> d’appel
>>>>>>>> fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée « Cour d’appel fédérale » en
>>>>>>>> français et « Federal Court of Appeal » en anglais. Elle est
>>>>>>>> maintenue
>>>>>>>> à titre de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et d’amirauté du
>>>>>>>> Canada, propre à améliorer l’application du droit canadien, et
>>>>>>>> continue d’être une cour supérieure d’archives ayant compétence en
>>>>>>>> matière civile et pénale.
>>>>>>>> 4 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the Federal
>>>>>>>> Court
>>>>>>>> — Trial Division is continued under the name “Federal Court” in
>>>>>>>> English and “Cour fédérale” in French. It is continued as an
>>>>>>>> additional court of law, equity and admiralty in and for Canada,
>>>>>>>> for
>>>>>>>> the better administration of the laws of Canada and as a superior
>>>>>>>> court of record having civil and criminal jurisdiction.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> 4 La section de la Cour fédérale du Canada, appelée la Section de
>>>>>>>> première instance de la Cour fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée «
>>>>>>>> Cour fédérale » en français et « Federal Court » en anglais. Elle
>>>>>>>> est
>>>>>>>> maintenue à titre de tribunal additionnel de droit, d’equity et
>>>>>>>> d’amirauté du Canada, propre à améliorer l’application du droit
>>>>>>>> canadien, et continue d’être une cour supérieure d’archives ayant
>>>>>>>> compétence en matière civile et pénale.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> [9] Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act create
>>>>>>>> two separate courts – this Court (section 3) and the Federal Court
>>>>>>>> (section 4). If, as Mr. Amos suggests, documents filed in the
>>>>>>>> Federal
>>>>>>>> Court were automatically also filed in this Court, then there would
>>>>>>>> no
>>>>>>>> need for the parties to prepare and file appeal books as required
>>>>>>>> by
>>>>>>>> Rules 343 to 345 of the Federal Courts Rules, SOR/98-106 in
>>>>>>>> relation
>>>>>>>> to any appeal from a decision of the Federal Court. The requirement
>>>>>>>> to
>>>>>>>> file an appeal book with this Court in relation to an appeal from a
>>>>>>>> decision of the Federal Court makes it clear that the only
>>>>>>>> documents
>>>>>>>> that will be before this Court are the documents that are part of
>>>>>>>> that
>>>>>>>> appeal book.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> [10] Therefore, the memorandum of fact and law filed on
>>>>>>>> March 6, 2017 is the first document, filed with this Court, in
>>>>>>>> which
>>>>>>>> Mr. Amos identified the particular judges that he submits have a
>>>>>>>> conflict in any matter related to him.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> [11] On April 3, 2017, Mr. Amos attempted to bring a
>>>>>>>> motion
>>>>>>>> before the Federal Court seeking an order “affirming or denying the
>>>>>>>> conflict of interest he has” with a number of judges of the Federal
>>>>>>>> Court. A judge of the Federal Court issued a direction noting that
>>>>>>>> if
>>>>>>>> Mr. Amos was seeking this order in relation to judges of the
>>>>>>>> Federal
>>>>>>>> Court of Appeal, it was beyond the jurisdiction of the Federal
>>>>>>>> Court.
>>>>>>>> Mr. Amos raised the Federal Court motion at the hearing of this
>>>>>>>> cross-appeal. The Federal Court motion is not a motion before this
>>>>>>>> Court and, as such, the submissions filed before the Federal Court
>>>>>>>> will not be entertained. As well, since this was a motion brought
>>>>>>>> before the Federal Court (and not this Court), any documents filed
>>>>>>>> in
>>>>>>>> relation to that motion are not part of the record of this Court.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> [12] During the hearing of the appeal Mr. Amos alleged
>>>>>>>> that
>>>>>>>> the third member of this panel also had a conflict of interest and
>>>>>>>> submitted some documents that, in his view, supported his claim of
>>>>>>>> a
>>>>>>>> conflict. Mr. Amos, following the hearing of his appeal, was also
>>>>>>>> afforded the opportunity to provide a brief summary of the conflict
>>>>>>>> that he was alleging and to file additional documents that, in his
>>>>>>>> view, supported his allegations. Mr. Amos submitted several pages
>>>>>>>> of
>>>>>>>> documents in relation to the alleged conflicts. He organized the
>>>>>>>> documents by submitting a copy of the biography of the particular
>>>>>>>> judge and then, immediately following that biography, by including
>>>>>>>> copies of the documents that, in his view, supported his claim that
>>>>>>>> such judge had a conflict.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> [13] The nature of the alleged conflict of Justice Webb
>>>>>>>> is
>>>>>>>> that before he was appointed as a Judge of the Tax Court of Canada
>>>>>>>> in
>>>>>>>> 2006, he was a partner with the law firm Patterson Law, and before
>>>>>>>> that with Patterson Palmer in Nova Scotia. Mr. Amos submitted that
>>>>>>>> he
>>>>>>>> had a number of disputes with Patterson Palmer and Patterson Law
>>>>>>>> and
>>>>>>>> therefore Justice Webb has a conflict simply because he was a
>>>>>>>> partner
>>>>>>>> of these firms. Mr. Amos is not alleging that Justice Webb was
>>>>>>>> personally involved in or had any knowledge of any matter in which
>>>>>>>> Mr.
>>>>>>>> Amos was involved with Justice Webb’s former law firm – only that
>>>>>>>> he
>>>>>>>> was a member of such firm.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> [14] During his oral submissions at the hearing of his
>>>>>>>> appeal Mr. Amos, in relation to the alleged conflict for Justice
>>>>>>>> Webb,
>>>>>>>> focused on dealings between himself and a particular lawyer at
>>>>>>>> Patterson Law. However, none of the documents submitted by Mr. Amos
>>>>>>>> at
>>>>>>>> the hearing or subsequently related to any dealings with this
>>>>>>>> particular lawyer nor is it clear when Mr. Amos was dealing with
>>>>>>>> this
>>>>>>>> lawyer. In particular, it is far from clear whether such dealings
>>>>>>>> were
>>>>>>>> after the time that Justice Webb was appointed as a Judge of the
>>>>>>>> Tax
>>>>>>>> Court of Canada over 10 years ago.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> [15] The documents that he submitted in relation to the
>>>>>>>> alleged conflict for Justice Webb largely relate to dealings
>>>>>>>> between
>>>>>>>> Byron Prior and the St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador office of
>>>>>>>> Patterson Palmer, which is not in the same province where Justice
>>>>>>>> Webb
>>>>>>>> practiced law. The only document that indicates any dealing between
>>>>>>>> Mr. Amos and Patterson Palmer is a copy of an affidavit of Stephen
>>>>>>>> May
>>>>>>>> who was a partner in the St. John’s NL office of Patterson Palmer.
>>>>>>>> The
>>>>>>>> affidavit is dated January 24, 2005 and refers to a number of
>>>>>>>> e-mails
>>>>>>>> that were sent by Mr. Amos to Stephen May. Mr. Amos also included a
>>>>>>>> letter that is addressed to four individuals, one of whom is John
>>>>>>>> Crosbie who was counsel to the St. John’s NL office of Patterson
>>>>>>>> Palmer. The letter is dated September 2, 2004 and is addressed to
>>>>>>>> “John Crosbie, c/o Greg G. Byrne, Suite 502, 570 Queen Street,
>>>>>>>> Fredericton, NB E3B 5E3”. In this letter Mr. Amos alludes to a
>>>>>>>> possible lawsuit against Patterson Palmer.
>>>>>>>> [16] Mr. Amos’ position is that simply because Justice
>>>>>>>> Webb
>>>>>>>> was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer, he now has a conflict. In
>>>>>>>> Wewaykum
>>>>>>>> Indian Band v. Her Majesty the Queen, 2003 SCC 45, [2003] 2 S.C.R.
>>>>>>>> 259, the Supreme Court of Canada noted that disqualification of a
>>>>>>>> judge is to be determined based on whether there is a reasonable
>>>>>>>> apprehension of bias:
>>>>>>>> 60 In Canadian law, one standard has now emerged as the
>>>>>>>> criterion for disqualification. The criterion, as expressed by de
>>>>>>>> Grandpré J. in Committee for Justice and Liberty v. National Energy
>>>>>>>> Board, …[[1978] 1 S.C.R. 369, 68 D.L.R. (3d) 716], at p. 394, is
>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>> reasonable apprehension of bias:
>>>>>>>> … the apprehension of bias must be a reasonable one, held by
>>>>>>>> reasonable and right minded persons, applying themselves to the
>>>>>>>> question and obtaining thereon the required information. In the
>>>>>>>> words
>>>>>>>> of the Court of Appeal, that test is "what would an informed
>>>>>>>> person,
>>>>>>>> viewing the matter realistically and practically -- and having
>>>>>>>> thought
>>>>>>>> the matter through -- conclude. Would he think that it is more
>>>>>>>> likely
>>>>>>>> than not that [the decision-maker], whether consciously or
>>>>>>>> unconsciously, would not decide fairly."
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> [17] The issue to be determined is whether an informed
>>>>>>>> person, viewing the matter realistically and practically, and
>>>>>>>> having
>>>>>>>> thought the matter through, would conclude that Mr. Amos’
>>>>>>>> allegations
>>>>>>>> give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias. As this Court has
>>>>>>>> previously remarked, “there is a strong presumption that judges
>>>>>>>> will
>>>>>>>> administer justice impartially” and this presumption will not be
>>>>>>>> rebutted in the absence of “convincing evidence” of bias (Collins
>>>>>>>> v.
>>>>>>>> Canada, 2011 FCA 140 at para. 7, [2011] 4 C.T.C. 157 [Collins]. See
>>>>>>>> also R. v. S. (R.D.), [1997] 3 S.C.R. 484 at para. 32, 151 D.L.R.
>>>>>>>> (4th) 193).
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> [18] The Ontario Court of Appeal in Rando Drugs Ltd. v.
>>>>>>>> Scott, 2007 ONCA 553, 86 O.R. (3d) 653 (leave to appeal to the
>>>>>>>> Supreme
>>>>>>>> Court of Canada refused, 32285 (August 1, 2007)), addressed the
>>>>>>>> particular issue of whether a judge is disqualified from hearing a
>>>>>>>> case simply because he had been a member of a law firm that was
>>>>>>>> involved in the litigation that was now before that judge. The
>>>>>>>> Ontario
>>>>>>>> Court of Appeal determined that the judge was not disqualified if
>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>> judge had no involvement with the person or the matter when he was
>>>>>>>> a
>>>>>>>> lawyer. The Ontario Court of Appeal also explained that the rules
>>>>>>>> for
>>>>>>>> determining whether a judge is disqualified are different from the
>>>>>>>> rules to determine whether a lawyer has a conflict:
>>>>>>>> 27 Thus, disqualification is not the natural corollary to a
>>>>>>>> finding that a trial judge has had some involvement in a case over
>>>>>>>> which he or she is now presiding. Where the judge had no
>>>>>>>> involvement,
>>>>>>>> as here, it cannot be said that the judge is disqualified.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> 28 The point can rightly be made that had Mr. Patterson been
>>>>>>>> asked to represent the appellant as counsel before his appointment
>>>>>>>> to
>>>>>>>> the bench, the conflict rules would likely have prevented him from
>>>>>>>> taking the case because his firm had formerly represented one of
>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>> defendants in the case. Thus, it is argued how is it that as a
>>>>>>>> trial
>>>>>>>> judge Patterson J. can hear the case? This issue was considered by
>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>> Court of Appeal (Civil Division) in Locabail (U.K.) Ltd. v.
>>>>>>>> Bayfield
>>>>>>>> Properties Ltd., [2000] Q.B. 451. The court held, at para. 58, that
>>>>>>>> there is no inflexible rule governing the disqualification of a
>>>>>>>> judge
>>>>>>>> and that, "[e]verything depends on the circumstances."
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> 29 It seems to me that what appears at first sight to be an
>>>>>>>> inconsistency in application of rules can be explained by the
>>>>>>>> different contexts and in particular, the strong presumption of
>>>>>>>> judicial impartiality that applies in the context of
>>>>>>>> disqualification
>>>>>>>> of a judge. There is no such presumption in cases of allegations of
>>>>>>>> conflict of interest against a lawyer because of a firm's previous
>>>>>>>> involvement in the case. To the contrary, as explained by Sopinka
>>>>>>>> J.
>>>>>>>> in MacDonald Estate v. Martin (1990), 77 D.L.R. (4th) 249 (S.C.C.),
>>>>>>>> for sound policy reasons there is a presumption of a disqualifying
>>>>>>>> interest that can rarely be overcome. In particular, a conclusory
>>>>>>>> statement from the lawyer that he or she had no confidential
>>>>>>>> information about the case will never be sufficient. The case is
>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>> opposite where the allegation of bias is made against a trial
>>>>>>>> judge.
>>>>>>>> His or her statement that he or she knew nothing about the case and
>>>>>>>> had no involvement in it will ordinarily be accepted at face value
>>>>>>>> unless there is good reason to doubt it: see Locabail, at para. 19.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> 30 That brings me then to consider the particular
>>>>>>>> circumstances
>>>>>>>> of this case and whether there are serious grounds to find a
>>>>>>>> disqualifying conflict of interest in this case. In my view, there
>>>>>>>> are
>>>>>>>> two significant factors that justify the trial judge's decision not
>>>>>>>> to
>>>>>>>> recuse himself. The first is his statement, which all parties
>>>>>>>> accept,
>>>>>>>> that he knew nothing of the case when it was in his former firm and
>>>>>>>> that he had nothing to do with it. The second is the long passage
>>>>>>>> of
>>>>>>>> time. As was said in Wewaykum, at para. 85:
>>>>>>>> To us, one significant factor stands out, and must
>>>>>>>> inform
>>>>>>>> the perspective of the reasonable person assessing the impact of
>>>>>>>> this
>>>>>>>> involvement on Binnie J.'s impartiality in the appeals. That factor
>>>>>>>> is
>>>>>>>> the passage of time. Most arguments for disqualification rest on
>>>>>>>> circumstances that are either contemporaneous to the
>>>>>>>> decision-making,
>>>>>>>> or that occurred within a short time prior to the decision-making.
>>>>>>>> 31 There are other factors that inform the issue. The Wilson
>>>>>>>> Walker firm no longer acted for any of the parties by the time of
>>>>>>>> trial. More importantly, at the time of the motion, Patterson J.
>>>>>>>> had
>>>>>>>> been a judge for six years and thus had not had a relationship with
>>>>>>>> his former firm for a considerable period of time.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> 32 In my view, a reasonable person, viewing the matter
>>>>>>>> realistically would conclude that the trial judge could deal fairly
>>>>>>>> and impartially with this case. I take this view principally
>>>>>>>> because
>>>>>>>> of the long passage of time and the trial judge's lack of
>>>>>>>> involvement
>>>>>>>> in or knowledge of the case when the Wilson Walker firm had
>>>>>>>> carriage.
>>>>>>>> In these circumstances it cannot be reasonably contended that the
>>>>>>>> trial judge could not remain impartial in the case. The mere fact
>>>>>>>> that
>>>>>>>> his name appears on the letterhead of some correspondence from over
>>>>>>>> a
>>>>>>>> decade ago would not lead a reasonable person to believe that he
>>>>>>>> would
>>>>>>>> either consciously or unconsciously favour his former firm's former
>>>>>>>> client. It is simply not realistic to think that a judge would
>>>>>>>> throw
>>>>>>>> off his mantle of impartiality, ignore his oath of office and
>>>>>>>> favour
>>>>>>>> a
>>>>>>>> client - about whom he knew nothing - of a firm that he left six
>>>>>>>> years
>>>>>>>> earlier and that no longer acts for the client, in a case involving
>>>>>>>> events from over a decade ago.
>>>>>>>> (emphasis added)
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> [19] Justice Webb had no involvement with any matter
>>>>>>>> involving Mr. Amos while he was a member of Patterson Palmer or
>>>>>>>> Patterson Law, nor does Mr. Amos suggest that he did. Mr. Amos made
>>>>>>>> it
>>>>>>>> clear during the hearing of this matter that the only reason for
>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>> alleged conflict for Justice Webb was that he was a member of
>>>>>>>> Patterson Law and Patterson Palmer. This is simply not enough for
>>>>>>>> Justice Webb to be disqualified. Any involvement of Mr. Amos with
>>>>>>>> Patterson Law while Justice Webb was a member of that firm would
>>>>>>>> have
>>>>>>>> had to occur over 10 years ago and even longer for the time when he
>>>>>>>> was a member of Patterson Palmer. In addition to the lack of any
>>>>>>>> involvement on his part with any matter or dispute that Mr. Amos
>>>>>>>> had
>>>>>>>> with Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer (which in and of itself is
>>>>>>>> sufficient to dispose of this matter), the length of time since
>>>>>>>> Justice Webb was a member of Patterson Law or Patterson Palmer
>>>>>>>> would
>>>>>>>> also result in the same finding – that there is no conflict in
>>>>>>>> Justice
>>>>>>>> Webb hearing this appeal.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> [20] Similarly in R. v. Bagot, 2000 MBCA 30, 145 Man. R.
>>>>>>>> (2d) 260, the Manitoba Court of Appeal found that there was no
>>>>>>>> reasonable apprehension of bias when a judge, who had been a member
>>>>>>>> of
>>>>>>>> the law firm that had been retained by the accused, had no
>>>>>>>> involvement
>>>>>>>> with the accused while he was a lawyer with that firm.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> [21] In Del Zotto v. Minister of National Revenue, [2000]
>>>>>>>> 4
>>>>>>>> F.C. 321, 257 N.R. 96, this court did find that there would be a
>>>>>>>> reasonable apprehension of bias where a judge, who while he was a
>>>>>>>> lawyer, had recorded time on a matter involving the same person who
>>>>>>>> was before that judge. However, this case can be distinguished as
>>>>>>>> Justice Webb did not have any time recorded on any files involving
>>>>>>>> Mr.
>>>>>>>> Amos while he was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer or Patterson Law.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> [22] Mr. Amos also included with his submissions a CD. He
>>>>>>>> stated in his affidavit dated June 26, 2017 that there is a “true
>>>>>>>> copy
>>>>>>>> of an American police surveillance wiretap entitled 139” on this
>>>>>>>> CD.
>>>>>>>> He has also indicated that he has “provided a true copy of the CD
>>>>>>>> entitled 139 to many American and Canadian law enforcement
>>>>>>>> authorities
>>>>>>>> and not one of the police forces or officers of the court are
>>>>>>>> willing
>>>>>>>> to investigate it”. Since he has indicated that this is an
>>>>>>>> “American
>>>>>>>> police surveillance wiretap”, this is a matter for the American law
>>>>>>>> enforcement authorities and cannot create, as Mr. Amos suggests, a
>>>>>>>> conflict of interest for any judge to whom he provides a copy.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> [23] As a result, there is no conflict or reasonable
>>>>>>>> apprehension of bias for Justice Webb and therefore, no reason for
>>>>>>>> him
>>>>>>>> to recuse himself.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> [24] Mr. Amos alleged that Justice Near’s past
>>>>>>>> professional
>>>>>>>> experience with the government created a “quasi-conflict” in
>>>>>>>> deciding
>>>>>>>> the cross-appeal. Mr. Amos provided no details and Justice Near
>>>>>>>> confirmed that he had no prior knowledge of the matters alleged in
>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>> Claim. Justice Near sees no reason to recuse himself.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> [25] Insofar as it is possible to glean the basis for Mr.
>>>>>>>> Amos’ allegations against Justice Gleason, it appears that he
>>>>>>>> alleges
>>>>>>>> that she is incapable of hearing this appeal because he says he
>>>>>>>> wrote
>>>>>>>> a letter to Brian Mulroney and Jean Chrétien in 2004. At that time,
>>>>>>>> both Justice Gleason and Mr. Mulroney were partners in the law firm
>>>>>>>> Ogilvy Renault, LLP. The letter in question, which is rude and
>>>>>>>> angry,
>>>>>>>> begins with “Hey you two Evil Old Smiling Bastards” and “Re: me
>>>>>>>> suing
>>>>>>>> you and your little dogs too”. There is no indication that the
>>>>>>>> letter
>>>>>>>> was ever responded to or that a law suit was ever commenced by Mr.
>>>>>>>> Amos against Mr. Mulroney. In the circumstances, there is no reason
>>>>>>>> for Justice Gleason to recuse herself as the letter in question
>>>>>>>> does
>>>>>>>> not give rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> III. Issue
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> [26] The issue on the cross-appeal is as follows: Did the
>>>>>>>> Judge err in setting aside the Prothonotary’s Order striking the
>>>>>>>> Claim
>>>>>>>> in its entirety without leave to amend and in determining that Mr.
>>>>>>>> Amos’ allegation that the RCMP barred him from the New Brunswick
>>>>>>>> legislature in 2004 was capable of supporting a cause of action?
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> IV. Analysis
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> A. Standard of Review
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> [27] Following the Judge’s decision to set aside the
>>>>>>>> Prothonotary’s Order, this Court revisited the standard of review
>>>>>>>> to
>>>>>>>> be applied to discretionary decisions of prothonotaries and
>>>>>>>> decisions
>>>>>>>> made by judges on appeals of prothonotaries’ decisions in Hospira
>>>>>>>> Healthcare Corp. v. Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, 2016 FCA
>>>>>>>> 215,
>>>>>>>> 402 D.L.R. (4th) 497 [Hospira]. In Hospira, a five-member panel of
>>>>>>>> this Court replaced the Aqua-Gem standard of review with that
>>>>>>>> articulated in Housen v. Nikolaisen, 2002 SCC 33, [2002] 2 S.C.R.
>>>>>>>> 235
>>>>>>>> [Housen]. As a result, it is no longer appropriate for the Federal
>>>>>>>> Court to conduct a de novo review of a discretionary order made by
>>>>>>>> a
>>>>>>>> prothonotary in regard to questions vital to the final issue of the
>>>>>>>> case. Rather, a Federal Court judge can only intervene on appeal if
>>>>>>>> the prothonotary made an error of law or a palpable and overriding
>>>>>>>> error in determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact
>>>>>>>> and
>>>>>>>> law (Hospira at para. 79). Further, this Court can only interfere
>>>>>>>> with
>>>>>>>> a Federal Court judge’s review of a prothonotary’s discretionary
>>>>>>>> order
>>>>>>>> if the judge made an error of law or palpable and overriding error
>>>>>>>> in
>>>>>>>> determining a question of fact or question of mixed fact and law
>>>>>>>> (Hospira at paras. 82-83).
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> [28] In the case at bar, the Judge substituted his own
>>>>>>>> assessment of Mr. Amos’ Claim for that of the Prothonotary. This
>>>>>>>> Court
>>>>>>>> must look to the Prothonotary’s Order to determine whether the
>>>>>>>> Judge
>>>>>>>> erred in law or made a palpable and overriding error in choosing to
>>>>>>>> interfere.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> B. Did the Judge err in interfering with the
>>>>>>>> Prothonotary’s Order?
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> [29] The Prothontoary’s Order accepted the following
>>>>>>>> paragraphs from the Crown’s submissions as the basis for striking
>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>> Claim in its entirety without leave to amend:
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> 17. Within the 96 paragraph Statement of Claim, the Plaintiff
>>>>>>>> addresses his complaint in paragraphs 14-24, inclusive. All but
>>>>>>>> four
>>>>>>>> of those paragraphs are dedicated to an incident that occurred in
>>>>>>>> 2006
>>>>>>>> in and around the legislature in New Brunswick. The jurisdiction of
>>>>>>>> the Federal Court does not extend to Her Majesty the Queen in right
>>>>>>>> of
>>>>>>>> the Provinces. In any event, the Plaintiff hasn’t named the
>>>>>>>> Province
>>>>>>>> or provincial actors as parties to this action. The incident
>>>>>>>> alleged
>>>>>>>> does not give rise to a justiciable cause of action in this Court.
>>>>>>>> (…)
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> 21. The few paragraphs that directly address the Defendant
>>>>>>>> provide no details as to the individuals involved or the location
>>>>>>>> of
>>>>>>>> the alleged incidents or other details sufficient to allow the
>>>>>>>> Defendant to respond. As a result, it is difficult or impossible to
>>>>>>>> determine the causes of action the Plaintiff is attempting to
>>>>>>>> advance.
>>>>>>>> A generous reading of the Statement of Claim allows the Defendant
>>>>>>>> to
>>>>>>>> only speculate as to the true and/or intended cause of action. At
>>>>>>>> best, the Plaintiff’s action may possibly be summarized as: he
>>>>>>>> suspects he is barred from the House of Commons.
>>>>>>>> [footnotes omitted].
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> [30] The Judge determined that he could not strike the
>>>>>>>> Claim
>>>>>>>> on the same jurisdictional basis as the Prothonotary. The Judge
>>>>>>>> noted
>>>>>>>> that the Federal Court has jurisdiction over claims based on the
>>>>>>>> liability of Federal Crown servants like the RCMP and that the
>>>>>>>> actors
>>>>>>>> who barred Mr. Amos from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004
>>>>>>>> included the RCMP (Federal Court Judgment at para. 23). In
>>>>>>>> considering
>>>>>>>> the viability of these allegations de novo, the Judge identified
>>>>>>>> paragraph 14 of the Claim as containing “some precision” as it
>>>>>>>> identifies the date of the event and a RCMP officer acting as
>>>>>>>> Aide-de-Camp to the Lieutenant Governor (Federal Court Judgment at
>>>>>>>> para. 27).
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> [31] The Judge noted that the 2004 event could support a
>>>>>>>> cause of action in the tort of misfeasance in public office and
>>>>>>>> identified the elements of the tort as excerpted from Meigs v.
>>>>>>>> Canada,
>>>>>>>> 2013 FC 389, 431 F.T.R. 111:
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> [13] As in both the cases of Odhavji Estate v Woodhouse, 2003
>>>>>>>> SCC
>>>>>>>> 69 [Odhavji] and Lewis v Canada, 2012 FC 1514 [Lewis], I must
>>>>>>>> determine whether the plaintiffs’ statement of claim pleads each
>>>>>>>> element of the alleged tort of misfeasance in public office:
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> a) The public officer must have engaged in deliberate and unlawful
>>>>>>>> conduct in his or her capacity as public officer;
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> b) The public officer must have been aware both that his or her
>>>>>>>> conduct was unlawful and that it was likely to harm the plaintiff;
>>>>>>>> and
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> c) There must be an element of bad faith or dishonesty by the
>>>>>>>> public
>>>>>>>> officer and knowledge of harm alone is insufficient to conclude
>>>>>>>> that
>>>>>>>> a
>>>>>>>> public officer acted in bad faith or dishonestly.
>>>>>>>> Odhavji, above, at paras 23, 24 and 28
>>>>>>>> (Federal Court Judgment at para. 28).
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> [32] The Judge determined that Mr. Amos disclosed
>>>>>>>> sufficient
>>>>>>>> material facts to meet the elements of the tort of misfeasance in
>>>>>>>> public office because the actors, who barred him from the New
>>>>>>>> Brunswick legislature in 2004, including the RCMP, did so for
>>>>>>>> “political reasons” (Federal Court Judgment at para. 29).
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> [33] This Court’s discussion of the sufficiency of
>>>>>>>> pleadings
>>>>>>>> in Merchant Law Group v. Canada (Revenue Agency), 2010 FCA 184, 321
>>>>>>>> D.L.R (4th) 301 is particularly apt:
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> …When pleading bad faith or abuse of power, it is not enough to
>>>>>>>> assert, baldly, conclusory phrases such as “deliberately or
>>>>>>>> negligently,” “callous disregard,” or “by fraud and theft did
>>>>>>>> steal”.
>>>>>>>> “The bare assertion of a conclusion upon which the court is called
>>>>>>>> upon to pronounce is not an allegation of material fact”. Making
>>>>>>>> bald,
>>>>>>>> conclusory allegations without any evidentiary foundation is an
>>>>>>>> abuse
>>>>>>>> of process…
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> To this, I would add that the tort of misfeasance in public office
>>>>>>>> requires a particular state of mind of a public officer in carrying
>>>>>>>> out the impunged action, i.e., deliberate conduct which the public
>>>>>>>> officer knows to be inconsistent with the obligations of his or her
>>>>>>>> office. For this tort, particularization of the allegations is
>>>>>>>> mandatory. Rule 181 specifically requires particularization of
>>>>>>>> allegations of “breach of trust,” “wilful default,” “state of mind
>>>>>>>> of
>>>>>>>> a person,” “malice” or “fraudulent intention.”
>>>>>>>> (at paras. 34-35, citations omitted).
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> [34] Applying the Housen standard of review to the
>>>>>>>> Prothonotary’s Order, we are of the view that the Judge interfered
>>>>>>>> absent a legal or palpable and overriding error.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> [35] The Prothonotary determined that Mr. Amos’ Claim
>>>>>>>> disclosed no reasonable claim and was fundamentally vexatious on
>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>> basis of jurisdictional concerns and the absence of material facts
>>>>>>>> to
>>>>>>>> ground a cause of action. Paragraph 14 of the Claim, which
>>>>>>>> addresses
>>>>>>>> the 2004 event, pleads no material facts as to how the RCMP officer
>>>>>>>> engaged in deliberate and unlawful conduct, knew that his or her
>>>>>>>> conduct was unlawful and likely to harm Mr. Amos, and acted in bad
>>>>>>>> faith. While the Claim alleges elsewhere that Mr. Amos was barred
>>>>>>>> from
>>>>>>>> the New Brunswick legislature for political and/or malicious
>>>>>>>> reasons,
>>>>>>>> these allegations are not particularized and are directed against
>>>>>>>> non-federal actors, such as the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Legislative
>>>>>>>> Assembly of New Brunswick and the Fredericton Police Force. As
>>>>>>>> such,
>>>>>>>> the Judge erred in determining that Mr. Amos’ allegation that the
>>>>>>>> RCMP
>>>>>>>> barred him from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004 was capable
>>>>>>>> of
>>>>>>>> supporting a cause of action.
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> [36] In our view, the Claim is made up entirely of bare
>>>>>>>> allegations, devoid of any detail, such that it discloses no
>>>>>>>> reasonable cause of action within the jurisdiction of the Federal
>>>>>>>> Courts. Therefore, the Judge erred in interfering to set aside the
>>>>>>>> Prothonotary’s Order striking the claim in its entirety. Further,
>>>>>>>> we
>>>>>>>> find that the Prothonotary made no error in denying leave to amend.
>>>>>>>> The deficiencies in Mr. Amos’ pleadings are so extensive such that
>>>>>>>> amendment could not cure them (see Collins at para. 26).
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>> V. Conclusion
>>>>>>>> [37] For the foregoing reasons, we would allow the

>>>>>
>>>>> By STEPHEN LLEWELLYN
>>>>> dgleg@nb.aibn.com
>>>>> Published Thursday May 24th, 2007
>>>>> Appeared on page A1
>>>>> An RCMP security detail has been guarding Justice Minister and
>>>>> Attorney General T.J. Burke because of threats made against him
>>>>> recently.
>>>>>
>>>>> Burke, the Liberal MLA for Fredericton-Fort Nashwaaksis, wouldn't
>>>>> explain the nature of the threats.
>>>>>
>>>>> "I have had a particular individual or individuals who have made
>>>>> specific overtures about causing harm towards me," he told reporters
>>>>> Wednesday.
>>>>>
>>>>> "The RCMP has provided security to me recently by accompanying me to a
>>>>> couple of public functions where the individual is known to reside or
>>>>> have family members in the area," said Burke. "It is nice to have some
>>>>> added protection and that added comfort."
>>>>>
>>>>> The RCMP provides protection to the premier and MLAs with its VIP
>>>>> security
>>>>> unit.
>>>>>
>>>>> Burke didn't say when the threat was made but it's believed to have
>>>>> been in recent weeks.
>>>>>
>>>>> "When a threat is posed to you and it is a credible threat, you have
>>>>> to be cautious about where you go and who you are around," he said.
>>>>> "But again, I am more concerned about my family as opposed to my own
>>>>> personal safety."
>>>>>
>>>>> Burke said he doesn't feel any differently and he has not changed his
>>>>> pattern of activity.
>>>>>
>>>>> "It doesn't bother me one bit," he said. "It makes my wife feel awful
>>>>> nervous."
>>>>>
>>>>> Burke served in an elite American military unit before becoming a
>>>>> lawyer and going into politics in New Brunswick.
>>>>>
>>>>> "(I) have taken my own precautions and what I have to do to ensure my
>>>>> family's safety," he said. "I am a very cautious person in general due
>>>>> to my background and training.
>>>>>
>>>>> "I am comfortable with defending myself or my family if it ever had to
>>>>> happen."
>>>>>
>>>>> Burke said it is not uncommon for politicians to have security
>>>>> concerns.
>>>>>
>>>>> "We do live unfortunately in an age and in a society now where threats
>>>>> have to be taken pretty seriously," he said.
>>>>>
>>>>> Since the terrorism attacks in the United States on Sept. 11, 2001,
>>>>> security in New Brunswick has been
>>>>> beefed up.
>>>>>
>>>>> Metal detectors were recently installed in the legislature and all
>>>>> visitors are screened.
>>>>>
>>>>> The position of attorney general is often referred to as the
>>>>> province's "top cop."
>>>>>
>>>>> Burke said sometimes people do not differentiate between his role as
>>>>> the manager of the justice system and the individual who actually
>>>>> prosecutes them.
>>>>>
>>>>> "With the job sometimes comes threats," he said. "I have had numerous
>>>>> threats since Day 1 in office."
>>>>>
>>>>> Burke said he hopes his First Nations heritage has nothing to do with
>>>>> it.
>>>>>
>>>>> "I think it is more of an issue where people get fixated on a matter
>>>>> and they believe you are personally responsible for assigning them
>>>>> their punishment or their sanction," he said.
>>>>>
>>>>> Is the threat from someone who was recently incarcerated?
>>>>>
>>>>> "I probably shouldn't answer that," he replied.
>>>>>
>>>>> Reporters asked when the threat would be over.
>>>>>
>>>>> "I don't think a threat ever passes once it has been made," said
>>>>> Burke. "You have to consider the credibility of the source."
>>>>>
>>>>> Bruce Fitch, former justice minister in the Conservative government,

>>>>> complimentary."
>>>>>
>>>>> "I did have a meeting with the RCMP who are in charge of the security
>>>>> of the MLAs and ministers," said Fitch.
>>>>>
>>>>> "They look at each and every situation."
>>>>>
>>>>> Fitch said he never had bodyguards assigned to him although former

Martin Demands That Harper Must Come Clean on Notwithstanding Clause
by LPC Friday, 16 December 2005
Prime Minister Paul Martin demanded Conservative Leader Stephen Harper
come clean that he intends to use the notwithstanding clause to
overturn the Charter right to same-sex marriage.

Mr. Harper said during tonight’s leader’s debate in Vancouver on the
topic of abolishing same-sex marriage: "I will never use the
notwithstanding clause on that issue."

Prime Minister Martin asked that he be honest with the Canadian people
regarding his intention to override a Charter right.
"We're talking about integrity. That means being honest. Either Mr.
Harper is going to try to change the law of the country that protects
the rights and freedoms of gays and lesbians or he's not going to,"
said Prime Minister Martin.

"If he's going to use the notwithstanding clause, he should say so,
and the people will at least know what his position is."
The Prime Minister said Mr. Harper’s proposal would require the use of
the notwithstanding clause because it is not possible to have a vote
in the house that will overrule the Constitution and the courts
without using the notwithstanding clause.

This is borne out by a January 25 open letter from more than 100 legal
experts from across Canada to Mr. Harper regarding same-sex marriage
legislation.

Mr. Martin called on Mr. Harper to be "honest."

He made clear that the Liberal government does not believe that you
can pick and choose which Charter rights you will protect and he
affirmed that he will respect the Charter as a whole.

>> The Canadian Government or The Crown unlike our amerkan cousins have

>
> I. Introduction
>
> [1] On September 16, 2015, David Raymond Amos (Mr. Amos)
> filed a 53-page Statement of Claim (the Claim) in Federal Court
> against Her Majesty the Queen (the Crown). Mr. Amos claims $11 million
> in damages and a public apology from the Prime Minister and Provincial
> Premiers for being illegally barred from accessing parliamentary
> properties and seeks a declaration from the Minister of Public Safety
> that the Canadian Government will no longer allow the Royal Canadian
> Mounted Police (RCMP) and Canadian Forces to harass him and his clan
> (Claim at para. 96).
>
> [2] On November 12, 2015 (Docket T-1557-15), by way of a
> motion brought by the Crown, a prothonotary of the Federal Court (the
> Prothonotary) struck the Claim in its entirety, without leave to
> amend, on the basis that it was plain and obvious that the Claim
> disclosed no reasonable claim, the Claim was fundamentally vexatious,
> and the Claim could not be salvaged by way of further amendment (the
> Prothontary’s Order).
>
>
> [3] On January 25, 2016 (2016 FC 93), by way of Mr.
> Amos’ appeal from the Prothonotary’s Order, a judge of the Federal
> Court (the Judge), reviewing the matter de novo, struck all of Mr.
> Amos’ claims for relief with the exception of the claim for damages
> for being barred by the RCMP from the New Brunswick legislature in
> 2004 (the Federal Court Judgment).
>
>
> [4] Mr. Amos appealed and the Crown cross-appealed the
> Federal Court Judgment. Further to the issuance of a Notice of Status
> Review, Mr. Amos’ appeal was dismissed for delay on December 19, 2016.
> As such, the only matter before this Court is the Crown’s
> cross-appeal.
>
>
> II. Preliminary Matter
>
> [5] Mr. Amos, in his memorandum of fact and law in
> relation to the cross-appeal that was filed with this Court on March
> 6, 2017, indicated that several judges of this Court, including two of
> the judges of this panel, had a conflict of interest in this appeal.
> This was the first time that he identified the judges whom he believed
> had a conflict of interest in a document that was filed with this
> Court. In his notice of appeal he had alluded to a conflict with
> several judges but did not name those judges.
>
> [6] Mr. Amos was of the view that he did not have to
> identify the judges in any document filed with this Court because he
> had identified the judges in various documents that had been filed
> with the Federal Court. In his view the Federal Court and the Federal
> Court of Appeal are the same court and therefore any document filed in
> the Federal Court would be filed in this Court. This view is based on
> subsections 5(4) and 5.1(4) of the Federal Courts Act, R.S.C., 1985,
> c. F-7:
>
>
> 5(4) Every judge of the Federal Court is, by virtue of his or her
> office, a judge of the Federal Court of Appeal and has all the
> jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court of
> Appeal.
> […]
>
> 5(4) Les juges de la Cour fédérale sont d’office juges de la Cour
> d’appel fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que
> les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale.
> […]
> 5.1(4) Every judge of the Federal Court of Appeal is, by virtue of
> that office, a judge of the Federal Court and has all the
> jurisdiction, power and authority of a judge of the Federal Court.
>
> 5.1(4) Les juges de la Cour d’appel fédérale sont d’office juges de la
> Cour fédérale et ont la même compétence et les mêmes pouvoirs que les
> juges de la Cour fédérale.
>
>
> [7] However, these subsections only provide that the
> judges of the Federal Court are also judges of this Court (and vice
> versa). It does not mean that there is only one court. If the Federal
> Court and this Court were one Court, there would be no need for this
> section.
> [8] Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act provide that:
> 3 The division of the Federal Court of Canada called the Federal Court
> — Appeal Division is continued under the name “Federal Court of
> Appeal” in English and “Cour d’appel fédérale” in French. It is
> continued as an additional court of law, equity and admiralty in and
> for Canada, for the better administration of the laws of Canada and as
> a superior court of record having civil and criminal jurisdiction.
>
> 3 La Section d’appel, aussi appelée la Cour d’appel ou la Cour d’appel
> fédérale, est maintenue et dénommée « Cour d’appel fédérale » en
> français et « Federal Court of Appeal » en anglais. Elle est maintenue

> 4 La section de la Cour fédérale du Canada, appelée la Section de

>
> [9] Sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Courts Act create
> two separate courts – this Court (section 3) and the Federal Court
> (section 4). If, as Mr. Amos suggests, documents filed in the Federal
> Court were automatically also filed in this Court, then there would no
> need for the parties to prepare and file appeal books as required by

> file an appeal book with this Court in relation to an appeal from a
> decision of the Federal Court makes it clear that the only documents
> that will be before this Court are the documents that are part of that
> appeal book.
>
>
> [10] Therefore, the memorandum of fact and law filed on
> March 6, 2017 is the first document, filed with this Court, in which
> Mr. Amos identified the particular judges that he submits have a
> conflict in any matter related to him.
>
>
> [11] On April 3, 2017, Mr. Amos attempted to bring a motion
> before the Federal Court seeking an order “affirming or denying the
> conflict of interest he has” with a number of judges of the Federal
> Court. A judge of the Federal Court issued a direction noting that if
> Mr. Amos was seeking this order in relation to judges of the Federal
> Court of Appeal, it was beyond the jurisdiction of the Federal Court.
> Mr. Amos raised the Federal Court motion at the hearing of this
> cross-appeal. The Federal Court motion is not a motion before this
> Court and, as such, the submissions filed before the Federal Court
> will not be entertained. As well, since this was a motion brought
> before the Federal Court (and not this Court), any documents filed in
> relation to that motion are not part of the record of this Court.
>
>
> [12] During the hearing of the appeal Mr. Amos alleged that
> the third member of this panel also had a conflict of interest and
> submitted some documents that, in his view, supported his claim of a
> conflict. Mr. Amos, following the hearing of his appeal, was also
> afforded the opportunity to provide a brief summary of the conflict

> documents in relation to the alleged conflicts. He organized the
> documents by submitting a copy of the biography of the particular
> judge and then, immediately following that biography, by including
> copies of the documents that, in his view, supported his claim that
> such judge had a conflict.
>
>
> [13] The nature of the alleged conflict of Justice Webb is
> that before he was appointed as a Judge of the Tax Court of Canada in
> 2006, he was a partner with the law firm Patterson Law, and before
> that with Patterson Palmer in Nova Scotia. Mr. Amos submitted that he

> personally involved in or had any knowledge of any matter in which Mr.
> Amos was involved with Justice Webb’s former law firm – only that he
> was a member of such firm.
>
>
> [14] During his oral submissions at the hearing of his
> appeal Mr. Amos, in relation to the alleged conflict for Justice Webb,
> focused on dealings between himself and a particular lawyer at
> Patterson Law. However, none of the documents submitted by Mr. Amos at

> particular lawyer nor is it clear when Mr. Amos was dealing with this
> lawyer. In particular, it is far from clear whether such dealings were
> after the time that Justice Webb was appointed as a Judge of the Tax
> Court of Canada over 10 years ago.
>
>
> [15] The documents that he submitted in relation to the
> alleged conflict for Justice Webb largely relate to dealings between
> Byron Prior and the St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador office of
> Patterson Palmer, which is not in the same province where Justice Webb

> “John Crosbie, c/o Greg G. Byrne, Suite 502, 570 Queen Street,
> Fredericton, NB E3B 5E3”. In this letter Mr. Amos alludes to a

> Grandpré J. in Committee for Justice and Liberty v. National Energy
> Board, …[[1978] 1 S.C.R. 369, 68 D.L.R. (3d) 716], at p. 394, is the
> reasonable apprehension of bias:
> … the apprehension of bias must be a reasonable one, held by
