Now is the winter of our discontent
Carney taps business executive Mark Wiseman to serve as Canada's ambassador to the U.S.
Canada's new top diplomat is a longtime friend of the prime minister

Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Monday that business executive Mark Wiseman will serve as Canada's ambassador to the U.S. — a figure with cross-border bona fides but a controversial pick, nonetheless, due to some of his past comments about Quebec.
Wiseman, a longtime friend of the prime minister who has held senior roles at some of the country's largest pension funds, takes over for the departing Kirsten Hillman on Feb. 15, 2026.
Wiseman is headed to Washington at a pivotal time. In the months since U.S. President Donald Trump launched his trade war on Canada, the relationship has been badly frayed — and there could be more tension on the horizon when the two sides hash out a resolution in the new year.
"Mark Wiseman brings immense experience, contacts, and deep commitment at this crucial time of transformation of our relationship with the United States. As a core member of our negotiating team, he will help advance the interests of Canadian workers, businesses, and institutions, while building opportunities for both Canada and the United States," Carney said in a statement.
Wiseman will be tasked with helping lead the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) review talks, which are expected to get underway in January.
As part of those discussions, Wiseman will try to help broker some relief from the punishing tariffs Trump has imposed on goods coming from some key Canadian sectors, like steel, aluminum, autos and lumber.
Trump's trade representative, Jamieson Greer, has already laid out what he expects to see from Canada to successfully negotiate an extension of that pact, including changes to supply management as well as laws that protect Canadian culture, which U.S. tech giants have strenuously opposed. He also wants to see a dismantling of provincial bans on U.S. liquor brands.
Greer told Congress that CUSMA has been "successful to a certain degree" but that amendments are needed before Trump agrees to extend it for another 16 years or revert to yearly reviews, something Canada is eager to avoid given the resulting annual uncertainty.
Wiseman, born in the border town of Niagara Falls, Ont., is no stranger to these irritants.
Among Carney's first decisions after being sworn in earlier this year was naming Wiseman to the Prime Minister’s Council on Canada-U.S. Relations, a body first created by former prime minister Justin Trudeau just as Trump was about to be sworn in as president for the second time.
Experience in 'all different sectors'
In an interview with CBC News, David Paterson, Ontario's representative to the U.S., welcomed Wiseman's appointment, saying his business acumen will be useful in the months to come as the CUSMA renewal talks intensify.
"I think we're in a six-month sprint right now to July 1 to try and solve as many of those issues, largely sectoral issues, as we can by that date so that we can see this deal move forward," Paterson said, referring to Greer's list of conditions that must be met before renewing CUSMA.
"Wiseman's understanding of investment as a financial person, he's got experience looking into all different sectors. I think that'll be a help," he said.
The incoming ambassador's close relationship with the prime minister is also a plus, Paterson said, as it means Wiseman can speak with some authority.
"It's so encouraging and important that the prime minister has developed a good rapport with the president — that's particularly important here. So having somebody that is in close, regular conversation with the prime minister in this role is going to be absolutely essential."
While Ontario has its own concerns about the state of the trade negotiations — the province wants Ottawa to be more focused on averting U.S. efforts to torpedo the auto sector — Paterson said he's confident the Carney-Wiseman duo are well-placed to land a deal when the time comes.
"We'll be there 100 per cent behind the new ambassador to make sure that he's successful," he said.
Concerns in Quebec
While Wiseman may have Ontario's support, at least one province has raised red flags about the appointment.
Wiseman's past public musings on supply management make him a controversial pick in some circles, notably in Quebec where there is a contingent of politically active dairy farmers determined to keep that regime in place.
Wiseman previously said supply management, which protects the domestic dairy industry from some imports and guarantees farmers a minimum price for their products, benefits a "group of settled players," impedes innovation and keeps "prices artificially high for Canadian consumers."
Those comments have prompted concern that Wiseman will be a half-hearted defender of supply management when Trump and his team put it on the table for negotiation.
WATCH | Carney, Ford answer questions ahead of CUSMA review:
Carney, Ford respond to questions about U.S. demands ahead of CUSMA reviewDecember 18|
Duration 4:50
Prime
Minister Mark Carney, appearing alongside Premier Doug Ford Thursday at
an event outlining steps to align approaches around major projects,
took questions on their response to recent demands put forth by the U.S.
trade representative around access to Canada's dairy market and how
provinces are handling the sale of U.S. alcohol.
Speaking to reporters earlier this month amid reports Wiseman could get the U.S. job, Pascal Paradis, a Parti Québécois member of Quebec's National Assembly, said his nomination would be "unacceptable" for Quebec.
"The Parti Québécois will never accept the nomination of Mark Wiseman as Canada's ambassador to the U.S. Why? Because Mark Wiseman is not a friend of the Quebec nation," Paradis said at a news conference in Quebec City.
Carney has been adamant that supply management is safe on his watch.
"We've been clear about our approach to supply management. We continue to stand by that. We will continue to protect supply management," the prime minister said at a news conference last week after Greer's conditions for the CUSMA review were released.
Wiseman also serves as chairman of the Century Initiative, a non-profit that calls for more immigration to boost Canada's economy. Two years ago, he posted an article with an eyebrow-raising headline on social media — "100 million Canadians by 2100 may not be federal policy, but it should be – even if it makes Quebec howl," is how that Globe and Mail column read and what he reposted on X.
That prompted Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre to say Wiseman is "someone who has shown contempt for Quebec and who cannot negotiate on behalf of Quebec."
Bloc Québécois House leader Christine Normandin also took issue with the use of the word "howl," which she said is something dogs do.
But Wiseman's job will have very little, if anything, to do with immigration levels. His attention will be focused on securing a successful CUSMA review with unpredictable Trump.
Former Alberta premier Jason Kenney, a Conservative, said that's what Wiseman is well-suited to do.
The two worked together when Wiseman was the head of Alberta Investment Management Corporation (AIMCo), a Crown corporation that invests tens of billions of dollars worth of funds generated from the province's oil resources and public pension plans.
"Mark is one of Canada’s top private sector finance experts who is an effective dealmaker. He’s the kind of guy who could get down to brass tacks and defend our interests effectively in dealing with the Trump administration," Kenney said, prior to Wiseman's appointment being confirmed.
Richard Shimooka, a senior fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, said the trust Carney and Wiseman have developed over years of friendship will be useful during what is expected to be tense negotiations during the Trump administration.
While Hillman was widely respected, she was a Trudeau appointee, and Wiseman said Carney is entitled to his own hand-picked ambassador.
Plus, the wealthy Wiseman is a good fit for the administration he's poised to deal with, Shimooka said.
Looking at Trump's cabinet, "there's a large number of people in there who are in the economic upper crust," he said. "Wiseman has the ability to go to these people and speak their language."
Either way, Wiseman's negotiation skills — and patience — will be put to the test with the sometimes erratic Trump, Shimooka said.
"This is not going to be easy. You can have an agreement on policy one day and the next day, it's gone."

Global National: Dec. 22, 2025 | Carney picks Mark Wiseman as Canada’s new US ambassador
Started 10 minutes ago
Prime
Minister Mark Carney has appointed Mark Wiseman, his close friend and
an experienced financier, to fulfill the role of U.S. ambassador. As
Mackenzie Gray explains, while Wiseman has no diplomatic or electoral
experience, he’s no stranger to politics as a co-founder of the ‘Century
Initiative.’
There
is more controversy surrounding CBS News over a move being criticized
as appeasement to U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration. Candice
Cole reports on how it relates to the network’s ’60 Minutes’ program and
how even the show’s own journalists are upset.
While
joy is often a focus during the holiday season, feelings of stress are
often present. In some cases, that experience can be a difficult burden
to manage. Katherine Ward speaks with experts about the emotional
challenges people can encounter this time year and strategies on how to
cope.
Plus,
'Heated Rivalry,' a TV series based on a book of the same name by
Canadian author Rachel Reid, is striking a chord across streaming
platforms and social media. Neetu Garcha explains what the show is
about, why it resonates with so many viewers – and how it's sparking
conversations about identity and inclusion in sports.

Dear Prime Minister.
I
find it difficult to understand why your choice might be Mark Wiseman,
as point man in trade talks with the USA.. He was at the CPP IB in late
1990s, about when the CPP IB first entered the investment world of
derivatives . It is also about the same time the CPP IB decided it would
be smart to borrow money to make new investments with.
According
to the independent CPP IB auditor, on March 30, 2025 the CPP IB had a
financial liability of $220,040 millions ( only $20 million in 2002)
and a financing annual cost of $7,213 millions , when in the previous
century there was nothing much..
Leaving a
financial mess of this order behind , that the Finance Minister has yet
to suggest a solution that takes away these liabilities from the CPP
Plan, hardly qualifies him for any senior role in the financial affairs
of Canada.
I am asking myself if you even read
my letter of July 23, 2025 where I tried to politely demonstrate the
ridiculous and border-line criminal investment condition of the CPP
Plan. Given all the evidence from the 1980s, it was blindingly clear
that making derivative investments did not meet the stated objective of
no "undue risk of loss". Doing so made me suspicious of use the "quiet"
of financial incentives.
Get people who have
demonstrated objectivity and sound ethical/moral judgement to front our
trade talks , not someone with deficits in these attributes.
Sincerely , Erik Andersen

Washington
has erupted into political turmoil as senior Senate leaders openly
break with Donald Trump, signaling a dramatic shift inside the
Republican Party. What was once quiet dissent has now turned into public
revolt, raising serious questions about Trump’s influence, control, and
political future.
In this video, we break down:
Why key Senate leaders are abandoning Trump
What triggered the sudden public backlash
How this revolt impacts Trump’s power inside the GOP
What it means for upcoming votes, investigations, and elections
Why analysts say this moment could mark a turning point in Washington
As
divisions deepen and party unity fractures, Trump now faces resistance
not just from opponents — but from within his own ranks.

Cabinet wraps retreat, Carney press conference abruptly cancelled | Power Play for Jan.23, 2026
CTV News Jan 24, 2026
Mark
Carney and his cabinet wrapped up a two-day retreat in Quebec City
Friday afternoon, but the prime minister offered no closing remarks, nor
did he take questions from journalists during the two-day planning
session.
Carney
was expected to take questions Friday afternoon, but his press
conference was abruptly cancelled at the last minute, with reporters
already in line for questions in front of a podium. His office offered
little explanation, citing his schedule as a reason, and told reporters
on the ground Finance Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne would be
available instead.

Provincial Government Provides Its First Fall Fiscal and Economic Update
Facebook
- Finance
December 16, 2025
YEA RIGHTThe Honourable Craig Pardy, Minister of Finance, today released the new government’s first fall Fiscal and Economic Update since the October election.
In the first part of his update, Minister Pardy confirmed that the province’s fiscal situation is more challenging than what was previously forecast in Budget 2025.
The provincial deficit is now projected at $948 million, compared to the $372 million forecast in Budget 2025.
However, Minister Pardy also revealed that across multiple economic indicators, Newfoundland and Labrador’s economy is performing better than expected.
- Newfoundland and Labrador is projected to lead all provinces with 5.3 per cent real Gross Domestic Product growth in 2025.
- Employment is expected to remain on par with last year, with 245,600 people employed.
- Household income is forecast to grow by 1.9 per cent largely due to wage gains.
- Housing starts are weaker than in 2024 but remain higher than the 10-year average for the province.
- Both oil and mining production have increased, but capital investment is forecast to decline by 6.3 per cent as major project construction activity has slowed.
- Fisheries and aquaculture have performed well, despite global market conditions.
- Population growth has continued, but at a slower pace as net international migration levels were lower due to reduced federal targets.
- Inflation has slowed and interest rates are lower, down from 2.75 per cent in April to the current rate of 2.25 per cent.
- Retail sales and tourism indicators remain strong.
The 2025 Fiscal and Economic Update is available here.
Quote
“Newfoundland and Labrador’s economy has proven resilient, but our fiscal situation is more serious than we thought. Our government remains firm on its commitments to better healthcare, lower taxes, and safer communities, and will work within the current fiscal parameters to improve life in Newfoundland and Labrador – for all of us.”

Court: United States District Court for the District of Maryland Case Number: 04-md-15863 Class Period: 12/15/1998 - 12/08/2003 Following a hearing on May 3, 2004 in the massive mutual fund litigation, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland appointed BLB&G client the City of Chicago Deferred Compensation Plan as Lead Plaintiff in the securities fraud class action against Massachusetts Financial Services Company ("MFS"), the investment advisor to the MFS Funds, and others.
On March 1, 2006, the Court sustained the Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint, allowing the case to move forward against certain defendants.
SUMMARY OF ALLEGATIONS:
The Complaint in this litigation alleges that MFS and certain of its senior executives were aware of, engaged in and facilitated "timing" trades in the MFS Funds: a money-making act involving short-term trading in and out of a mutual fund. The technique is designed to exploit inefficiencies in the way mutual fund companies price their shares by allowing certain customers to trade shares at distorted prices that no longer reflect the true value of the fund. As a result, those few customers permitted to engage in market timing typically reap huge profits, the cost of which are borne primarily by the long-term investors in the relevant fund.
The public filings issued by the Defendants stated that, "MFS funds do not permit market-timing or other excessive trading practices that may disrupt portfolio management strategies and may harm fund performance." In reality, however, the Defendants knew, or recklessly disregarded, the fact that trades were being timed and that these timed trades negatively and materially impacted the MFS Funds, thereby causing significant losses to investors in the MFS Funds.
On February 5, 2004, MFS agreed to entry of a cease and desist order by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") against MFS and John W. Ballen ("Ballen"), MFS's current chief executive officer, and Kevin R. Parke ("Parke"), MFS's current president and chief investment officer ("Cease and Desist Order"). Specifically, the SEC found that MFS, Ballen and Parke allowed widespread market timing trading in certain MFS Funds from at least late 1999 through October 2003, in contravention of the Funds' public disclosures. In particular, MFS explicitly informed certain select brokers in a written memo that "unrestricted" trading would be permitted in certain MFS funds (known internally at MFS as "Unrestricted Funds"), including the Massachusetts Investors Growth Stock Fund, "even if a pattern of excessive trading has been detected." Not only did MFS selectively enforce its market-timing policies, but executives at MFS facilitated the frequent trading in and out of certain MFS Funds by steering select investors to these "Unrestricted Funds." As the Cease and Desist Order confirms, as much as $2 billion in timing money flowed into MFS Funds during the Class Period.
Internal MFS documents and policies acknowledged that market timing was detrimental to long-term shareholders. In fact, as early as June 2000, an internal presentation entitled "Market Timing Wheel of Terror," warned that "[l]ong term investors are being penalized" by market timing activity. Nevertheless, the market timing activity persisted in the MFS "Unrestricted Funds." Moreover, MFS's select enforcement of its trading policies also included late trading, which alone caused well over $100 million in investor losses. And, as further alleged in the complaint, various brokers and financial institutions also participated in the market timing schemes, to the detriment of ordinary investors.
MFS's policy of allowing market-timing and steering select investors to the "Unrestricted Funds" was adopted as a means to increase profits by luring market timing assets so as to increase funds under management, and, therefore, increase fees paid to MFS for investment advisory services. These additional assets under management also resulted in an increased bonus pool from which MFS employees, including Ballen and Parke, were paid excessive compensation. During this period, none of the above detailed material information was disclosed to the members of the Class. In addition to the profits from their market timing, MFS also profited by charging ordinary investors hundreds of millions of dollars in management fees while breaching their fiduciary duties to those very same investors.
On May 20, 2010, the Court preliminarily approved proposed settlements, totaling $75,042,250, that would resolve this litigation. On October 25, 2010, the Court entered Judgments granting final approval to the settlements and entered separate Orders granting Plaintiffs' Counsel's application for an award of attorneys' fees and expenses and approving the Plan of Allocation of the settlement proceeds.
The claims administration process has concluded and the net settlement fund has been fully disbursed. This matter is considered closed.

REVIEW OF CURRENT INVESTIGATIONS
AND REGULATORY ACTIONS REGARDING
THE MUTUAL FUND INDUSTRY
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2003
U.S. SENATE,
COMMITTEE ON BANKING, HOUSING, AND URBAN AFFAIRS,
Washington, DC.
The Committee met at 10 a.m. in room SD–538 of the Dirksen
Senate Office Building, Senator Richard C. Shelby (Chairman of
the Committee) presiding.
OPENING STATEMENT OF CHAIRMAN RICHARD C. SHELBY
Chairman SHELBY. The hearing shall come to order.
This hearing is part of the Committee’s ongoing oversight of the
mutual fund industry. Today, the Committee will review current
investigations and enforcement proceedings and examine regu-
latory actions taken to date in order to fully inform and guide the
Banking Committee’s consideration of possible legislative reform.
On September 30, 2003, this Committee first examined the scope
of problems confronting the mutual fund industry. At that time,
Chairman Donaldson testified about the SEC’s ongoing enforce-
ment actions and described the SEC’s regulatory blueprint for
adopting new regulations aimed at improving the transparency of
fund operations and stopping abusive trading practices. Since
Chairman Donaldson’s testimony, we have learned that improper
fund trading practices are a widespread problem that fund insiders,
brokers, and privileged clients have profited from at the expense of
average investors.
In early September, New York Attorney General Spitzer uncov-
ered arrangements through which brokers facilitated improper
trades for their clients in certain prominent mutual funds in ex-
change for large, fee generating investments. Since this initial set-
tlement, we have learned the extent to which both intermediaries,
such as brokers, and fund executives have engaged in illicit trading
activities. We have read about the backhanded ways by which the
brokers colluded with their customers to disguise improper trade
orders to make them appear legitimate, thus evading detection by
mutual fund policing systems.
Even in situations where mutual funds attempted to halt im-
proper trading activity, certain brokers created fictitious names
and account numbers to fool fund compliance officers and to con-
tinue trading. Recent investigations have also revealed that mutual
fund executives and portfolio managers have actively engaged in2
improper trading activity. And these allegations are particularly
troubling because fund executives and portfolio managers have
represented themselves as protecting client assets, but they failed
by either knowingly permitting improper trading by brokers or
actively engaging in illegal trading activities themselves.
Such practices may not only violate prospectus disclosures, but
also violate the fiduciary duties that funds owe to their share-
holders—the duties to treat all shareholders equitably and to pro-
tect shareholder interests. Further, regulators have indicated that
they may soon file charges against funds that have selectively
disclosed portfolio information to certain privileged investors and
fund executives that may have engaged in illegal insider trading by
acting on the basis of nonpublic information.
As this Committee made clear during Chairman William H.
Donaldson’s September 30 appearance here, a regulatory response
to improper trading activities is just one of the many actions that
the SEC must take to address the many troubling issues that have
come to light in the mutual fund industry. This Committee remains
concerned with the transparency of fund operations and ensuring
that investors can learn how their fund is being managed. It has
become very, very apparent that many of the questionable fund
practices that are now being examined are not just the result of a
few bad actors, but are longstanding industry practices that have
largely gone unregulated and not well disclosed to, or understood
by, most investors.
Therefore, this Committee must take a comprehensive look, I be-
lieve, at the industry to determine if the industry’s operations and
practices are consistent with investors’ interests and the greater
interests of the market. It may be that we must consider possible
realignment of interests to ensure that mutual funds are operating
as efficiently and fairly as the market and investors demand. We
will examine fund disclosure practices regarding fees, trading costs,
sales commissions, and portfolio holdings. So, we will continue to
question the conflicts of interest surrounding the relationship be-
tween the investment adviser and the fund and how potential
changes to fund governance and disclosure practices may minimize
these conflicts.
We will also focus on fund sales practices to ensure that brokers
sell suitable investments to their clients, provide adequate disclo-
sure of any sales incentives, and give clients any breakpoint dis-
counts to which they are entitled.
Chairman Donaldson has told this Committee that the SEC has
the necessary statutory authority to reform the mutual fund indus-
try and is in the process of conducting a comprehensive rulemak-
ing. As we have learned in other contexts, however, additional reg-
ulation is not the only answer. Late trading is clearly illegal and
market timing is actively deterred and policed. Despite prohibitions
and warnings, these activities continued unabated because of the
inadequate compliance and enforcement regimes at the SEC, the
mutual funds and the brokers. Whether due to a lack of resources
or other pressing priorities, mutual fund abuses simply did not re-
ceive adequate attention from the SEC. Although recent enforce-
ment actions indicate that priorities have changed, we need tounderstand how the SEC will revise compliance programs to detect
and halt future fund abuses.
Vigorous enforcement remains the key to restoring integrity to
the fund industry, and Attorney General Spitzer’s timely actions
once again demonstrate, I believe, the significant role that States
play in prosecuting fraud and abuse in the securities markets. Re-
gardless of the number of rules or amount of resources, it would
be impractical to expect the SEC to detect every single fraud and
manipulation in the fund industry. Therefore, the mutual funds
and the brokerage houses themselves must proactively adopt new
compliance measures to detect fraud and abuse. For many years,
participants in the mutual fund industry maintain industry ‘‘best
practices.’’ These practices, however, have clearly proven to be in-
adequate as brokers and funds have disregarded conflicts of inter-
est and colluded at the expense of investors without detection.
Although funds and brokers owe different types of duties to their
investors, both groups have an obligation to refrain from knowingly
ignoring their clients’ interests and profiting at their expense.
With over 95 million investors and $7 trillion—yes, $7 trillion—
in assets, mutual funds have always been perceived as the safe
investment option for average investors. America has become a Na-
tion of investors, but there is no doubt that recent revelations
about mutual funds have caused very many to question the per-
ceived fairness of the industry. Many are surprised to learn that
the mutual fund industry is plagued by the same conflict that was
at the root of the Enron scandal and the global settlement—one set
of profitable rules for insiders and another costly set for average
investors.
Beyond the legal concepts of fiduciary duties and transparency,
there is a more fundamental principle that should underlie the
operation of the mutual fund industry and our securities markets
in general.
This principle is that securities firms and mutual funds should
not neglect investors’ interests and knowingly profit at their ex-
pense. Until firms can demonstrate an ability to abide by this
ideal, investors will not trust the markets, nor should they. In our
own way, Congress, the SEC and regulators, and industry partici-
pants must collectively work to reform the mutual fund industry in
order to restore investor confidence. I believe, we must reassure in-
vestors that mutual funds are a vehicle in which they can safely
invest their money and not fall victim to financial schemes. The
mutual fund industry is simply too important to too many Ameri-
cans to do otherwise.
Examining the mutual fund industry is a priority for this Com-
mittee, and I look forward to working with my fellow Committee
Members, especially Senators Enzi, Dodd, and Corzine, all of whom
have already expressed significant interest in this issue.
Our first witness today is Chairman Bill Donaldson, and on the
second panel we will hear from Matthew Fink, President of the In-
vestment Company Institute, and Marc Lackritz, President of the
Securities Industry Association.
Now, I will call on my Members.

“REVIEW OF CURRENT INVESTIGATIONS AND REGULATORY ACTIONS
REGARDING THE MUTUAL FUND INDUSTRY:
FUND OPERATIONS AND GOVERNANCE”
COMMITTEE ON BANKING, HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS
UNITED STATES SENATE
March 23, 2004Thank you Chairman Shelby, Ranking Member Sarbanes and other members of the
Committee for this opportunity to present my views on appropriate reforms for the mutual fund
industry.
My name is Robert C. Pozen and I am from Boston, Massachusetts. I am currently
Chairman of MFS Investment Management, which manages approximately $140 billion for
approximately 370 accounts including over 100 mutual funds serving approximately six million
investors. I am also a visiting professor at Harvard Law School and author of the textbook The
Mutual Fund Business (2 ed. Houghton Mifflin 2001).
I commend the Committee for engaging in a deliberative and broad-ranging review of the
operations and regulation of the mutual fund industry. While I welcome questions about any
aspect of the fund industry, I will limit my testimony today to three areas where I believe that MFS is helping to set important new standards for the fund industry:1) maximized shareholder valuethrough fund brokerage;2) individualized reporting of shareholder expenses; and3) structural enhancements for fund governance. We are making changes in these three areas to benefit MFS shareholders and, if followed by the rest of the industry, to benefit all fund shareholders.
I. Reducing Reliance on Soft Dollars
The current system of paying for goods and services with “soft dollars”, taken out of
brokerage commissions, is detrimental to mutual fund shareholders. The use of “soft dollar”
payments makes it virtually impossible for a fund manager to ascertain the true costs of executing trades because execution costs are bundled together with the costs of other goods and services such as research reports and Bloomberg terminals. If these costs were unbundled, then fund managers could pay cash out of their own pockets for independent research or market data, and could negotiate for lower execution prices for fund shareholders.
Currently, if a trader from a mutual fund executes fund trades through a full-service
broker on Wall Street, the trader pays five cents a share for execution plus a broad range of
goods or services from the executing broker or third parties: e.g., securities research, market data and brokerage allocations to promote fund sales. These goods and services are paid in “soft dollars”: that is, they are bundled into the five cents per share charge in a non- transparent
1 of 6manner. If MFS does not accept these ancillary goods or services through “soft dollars”, it will still
be required to pay five cents per share by the full-service broker.
In other words, it is almost impossible to obtain a price discount from a full-service
Wall Street firm for executing a large fund trade. However, that firm is willing to provide an in-kind
discount in the form of soft dollars that can be used to purchase various goods or services. This is
more than a technical pricing oddity. The key point is this: a price discount on the trade (for
example, from five cents to three cents per share) would go directly to the mutual fund and its
shareholders. In-kind services like market data services go directly to the fund management
company and only indirectly to the mutual fund and its shareholders.
MFS has already eliminated the use of “soft dollars” to promote sales of mutual fund
shares. Since January 1, 2004, MFS has been paying cash out of its own pocket to broker-
dealers to promote fund sales. While the SEC has proposed a rule to this effect, MFS has
switched from soft dollars to cash to promote fund sales regardless of whether and when the SEC
adopts its rule.
More dramatically, earlier this month MFS decided to stop using soft dollars to pay for
third-party research1 and market data. Again MFS will pay cash out of its own pocket for these
items. MFS estimates that this decision will cost the management company $10 to $15 million per
year. Yet MFS has agreed not to raise its advisory fees for its funds over the next five years.
Why is MFS willing to take the lead on getting off the addiction to soft dollars and moving to the healthy environment of price discounts?The simple answer is: MFS puts the fund shareholder first. We recognize the need to employ a full-service broker to execute a large block trade (e.g., 500,000 shares in Genzyme); we need their skills and capital to actively work the trade and take up a portion of the trade themselves if necessary. But we want to pay a price in the range of three cents per share for an agency-only trade, though we are willing to pay more for a trade requiring capital to be put at risk by the broker-dealer.
1 We are not stopping the use of “soft dollars” for proprietary research and other services. Only recently has the SEC issued a concept release on accounting for all the elements of a bundled commission. SEC Release IC-26313 (Dec. 19, 2003).
2 of 6The broader answer is that MFS wants to lead the industry to lower and more transparent execution costs. To accomplish this objective, MFS will need support from other asset managers as well as the SEC. Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act provides a safe harbor for asset managers using “soft dollars” for research and brokerage services. Initially, the SEC interpreted this safe harbor narrowly--allowing payment in “soft dollars” only if a good or service or product were not readily available for cash. Several years later, however, the SEC broadened the safe harbor to include any “legitimate” purpose for soft dollars (SEC Exchange Act Release 23170, April 23, 1986). The SEC should move back to its initial narrow interpretation of 28(e) to reduce the reliance on the use of “soft dollars”.
II. Individualized Expense Reporting
MFS will issue an individualized quarterly statement, rather than a general listing of fund expenses in basis points, which will show each fund shareholder a reasonable estimate of his or her actual fund expenses in dollar terms.The MFS design for this individualized quarterly statement is cost effective as a result of one key assumption: that shareholders hold their funds for the whole prior quarter. This assumption is reasonable because over 90% of MFS shareholders fall into this category.
At present, the prospectus of every mutual fund contains an expense table listing the
various categories of fund expenses in basis points. The table might say, for instance:
Advisory Fee 53 bp
Transfer Agency Fee 10 bp
Other Fees 2 bp
12 b-1 Fee 25 bp
Total Expenses 90 bp
In addition, the prospectus of every fund includes a hypothetical example of a $10,000 investment in the fund to show the dollar amount of actual fund expenses paid by such a fund shareholder during the relevant period. The hypothetical example for the mutual fund with the expenses described above, for instance, would show $90 in total fund expenses over the last year.
Nevertheless, some critics have argued that mutual fund investors need customized
expense statements. By that, these critics mean the actual expenses paid by a shareholder in
3 of 6several funds based on his or her precise holding period as well as the fund dividends during that
period. For example, we would have to compute the exact expenses of a shareholder who held
Fund A from January 15 until March 31 without reinvesting fund dividends; another shareholder
who held Fund B for the whole year and reinvested all fund dividends; and yet another
shareholder who held Fund C from February 1 until June 15 as well as from August 22 until
December 11 (during both periods, assuming no record date for fund dividends occurred).
This type of customized expense statement would, in my opinion, involve enormous
computer programming costs. The program would have to track the holdings of every fund
shareholder on a daily basis, take into account whether a fund dividend was reinvested or paid
out to the shareholder, and apply monthly basis point charges to fund balances reflecting monthly
appreciation or depreciation of fund assets. Of course, these large computer costs would
ultimately be passed on to fund shareholders.
At MFS, we will provide every fund shareholder with an estimate of his or her actual
expenses on their quarterly statements.2 We can do this at an affordable cost by making one
reasonable assumption—that the fund holdings of the shareholder at the end of the quarter were
the same throughout the quarter. Although this is a simplifying assumption, it produces a good
estimate of actual fund expenses since most shareholders do not switch funds during a quarter.
Indeed, this assumption will often lead to a slightly higher estimate of individualized expenses
than the actual amount because some shareholders will buy the fund during the quarter and other
shareholders will reinvest fund dividends during the quarter.
In addition, MFS will send its shareholders in every fund’s semi-annual report the
total amount of brokerage commissions paid by the fund during the relevant period as well as the
fund’s average commission rate per share (for example, 4.83 cents per share on average). But
this information on brokerage commissions should be separated from the fund expense table
because all the other items in the table are ordinary expenses expressed in basis points. By
contrast, brokerage commissions are a capital expense added to the tax basis of the securities
held by the fund, and brokerage commissions are expressed in cents per share.
2 These individualized expenses will not include brokerage costs because they are capitalized in the cost of the portfolio
security.
4 of 6II. Enhanced Governance Structure
The mutual fund industry has a unique governance structure: the fund is a separate entity from its external manager. The independent directors of the fund must annually approve the
terms and conditions of the fund’s contract with its external manager. Of course, the independent directors usually reappoint the management company. In an industrial company, how often do the directors throw out the whole management team? But the independent directors of most mutual funds, in my experience, do represent fund shareholders by negotiating for contract terms and monitoring potential conflicts of interest.
At MFS, we believe we have the most advanced form of corporate governance in the
industry. To begin with, over 75% of the board is comprised of independent directors, who elect their own independent chairman. The chairman leads the executive sessions of independent directors, which occur before or after every board meeting. The independent chairman also helps set the board’s agenda for each meeting. A lead independent director could definitely take charge of the executive sessions and a lead director could also help set the board’s agenda. Thus, it
does not matter which title is employed; the key is to insure that a senior independent director
plays these two functions.
In many boards, the independent directors have their own independent counsel, as
the MFS boards do. But the independent directors of the MFS funds are going one step further by
appointing their own compliance officer. This officer will monitor all compliance activities by MFS
as well as supervise the fund’s own activities, and will report regularly to the Compliance
Committee of the Board (which itself is composed solely of independent directors).
On the management company side, MFS is the only company I know of that has a
non-executive chairman reporting to the independent directors of the MFS funds. This is a new
position designed to assure that the management company is fully accountable to the funds’
independent directors.
Finally, MFS as a management company has established the new position of Executive Vice President for Regulatory Affairs, and filled the position with a distinguished industry veteran. In addition, MFS has hired a distinguished law firm partner as its new general
5 of 6counsel. Both will serve on the executive committee of MFS. The new Executive Vice President will be in charge of several regulatory functions—compliance, internal audit and fund treasury.
This high profile position within MFS is more than symbolic; it represents the great significance
given by MFS to these regulatory functions. While these functions are performed in most fund
management companies, it is rare to see the person in charge of these functions having the title of executive vice president and serving on the executive committee of the firm.
Conclusions
In summary, MFS is trying to establish standards of best practices in three important
areas to fund shareholders:1) reduced reliance on “soft dollars”,2) individualized expense reporting, and3) enhanced governance structure. Other management firms are trying to take the lead in setting industry standards in other areas. At the same time, the SEC is in the process of
proposing and adopting a myriad of rules on disclosure requirements and substantive prohibitions or the fund industry—which overlap to a degree with the efforts of the fund management firms.
Because the SEC and the management firms are making such serious efforts to develop
higher behavioral norms for the mutual fund industry, it might be useful for Congress to monitor these efforts before finalizing a bill on mutual fund reforms. These are complex issues that may be better suited to an evolutionary process, led by an expert public agency with the flexibility to address the changing legal and factual environment.
Thank you again for this opportunity to testify on mutual fund reform. I would be pleased
to answer any questions the Chairman or Committee Members might have.6 of 6Robert C. Pozen

Pure D BSNov 17, 2025Parliament is preparing to vote on a budget that includes nearly $80 billion in deficit spending — automatically triggering a confidence vote. If the government loses, Canadians head straight into an election.While attention in Ottawa has been focused on political drama and a high-profile floor crossing, fiscal alarm bells are sounding loud and clear. The Parliamentary Budget Officer has already called the spending plan “unsustainable,” and international credit ratings agency Fitch is warning that Canada is at risk of a credit downgrade if spending continues at this pace.Canada is now spending more than $50 billion every year on interest payments alone — money that doesn’t buy services, build infrastructure, or improve affordability.Conservative MP and filmmaker Aaron Gunn joins Kris Sims to react from Parliament Hill. He argues this budget fuels inflation, worsens affordability, and leaves young Canadians with exploding debt and fewer opportunities.50 Comments

Case against stricter MLA conflict law doesn't wash, says just-retired
commissioner
Derek Fildebrandt is Leader of the Freedom Conservative Party of
Alberta and the MLA for Strathmore-Brooks.
Derek is married to his wife Emma, is the father of a beautiful baby
girl named Winifred, and has two German Shepherds. He is a good
fisherman, an adequate hunter, and a poor guitar player.
In his time as an MLA, Fildebrandt has consistently stood for limited
government, free speech and personal responsibility.
Fildebrandt served as both the Alberta Director and National Research
Director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. Federally, he fought to
end the Liberal long-gun registry, scrap gold-plated MP pensions, and
require First Nation Chiefs to publicly disclose their salaries to
band members. In Alberta, he led the fight against the Redford
government’s deficit budgets and abuse of taxpayers’ money.

Subject: Your various correspondence about abusive tax schemes - 2017-02631
To: "motomaniac333@gmail.com" <motomaniac333@gmail.com>
Mr. David Raymond Amos
motomaniac333@gmail.com
Dear Mr. Amos:
Thank you for your various correspondence about abusive tax schemes,
and for your understanding regarding the delay of this response.
This is an opportunity for me to address your concerns about the way
the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) deals with aggressive tax planning,
tax avoidance, and tax evasion by targeting individuals and groups
that promote schemes intended to avoid payment of tax. It is also an
opportunity for me to present the Government of Canada’s main
strategies for ensuring fairness for all taxpayers.
The CRA’s mission is to preserve the integrity of Canada’s tax system,
and it is taking concrete and effective action to deal with abusive
tax schemes. Through federal budget funding in 2016 and 2017, the
government has committed close to $1 billion in cracking down on tax
evasion and combatting tax avoidance at home and through the use of
offshore transactions. This additional funding is expected to generate
federal revenues of $2.6 billion over five years for Budget 2016, and
$2.5 billion over five years for Budget 2017.
More precisely, the CRA is cracking down on tax cheats by hiring more
auditors, maintaining its underground economy specialist teams,
increasing coverage of aggressive goods and service tax/harmonized
sales tax planning, increasing coverage of multinational corporations
and wealthy individuals, and taking targeted actions aimed at
promoters of abusive tax schemes.
On the offshore front, the CRA continues to develop tools to improve
its focus on high‑risk taxpayers. It is also considering changes to
its Voluntary Disclosures Program following the first set of program
recommendations received from an independent Offshore Compliance
Advisory Committee. In addition, the CRA is leading international
projects to address the base erosion and profit shifting initiative of
the G20 and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and
Development, and is collaborating with treaty partners to address the
Panama Papers leaks.
These actions are evidence of the government’s commitment to
protecting tax fairness. The CRA has strengthened its intelligence and
technical capacities for the early detection of abusive tax
arrangements and deterrence of those who participate in them. To
ensure compliance, it has increased the number of actions aimed at
promoters who use illegal schemes. These measures include increased
audits of such promoters, improved information gathering, criminal
investigations where warranted, and better communication with
taxpayers.
To deter potential taxpayer involvement in these schemes, the CRA is
increasing notifications and warnings through its communications
products. It also seeks partnerships with tax preparers, accountants,
and community groups so that they can become informed observers who
can educate their clients.
The CRA will assess penalties against promoters and other
representatives who make false statements involving illegal tax
schemes. The promotion of tax schemes to defraud the government can
lead to criminal investigations, fingerprinting, criminal prosecution,
court fines, and jail time.
Between April 1, 2011, and March 31, 2016, the CRA’s criminal
investigations resulted in the conviction of 42 Canadian taxpayers for
tax evasion with links to money and assets held offshore. In total,
the $34 million in evaded taxes resulted in court fines of $12 million
and 734 months of jail time.
When deciding to pursue compliance actions through the courts, the CRA
consults the Department of Justice Canada to choose an appropriate
solution. Complex tax-related litigation is costly and time consuming,
and the outcome may be unsuccessful. All options to recover amounts
owed are considered.
More specifically, in relation to the KPMG Isle of Man tax avoidance
scheme, publicly available court records show that it is through the
CRA’s efforts that the scheme was discovered. The CRA identified many
of the participants and continues to actively pursue the matter. The
CRA has also identified at least 10 additional tax structures on the
Isle of Man, and is auditing taxpayers in relation to these
structures.
To ensure tax fairness, the CRA commissioned an independent review in
March 2016 to determine if it had acted appropriately concerning KPMG
and its clients. In her review, Ms. Kimberley Brooks, Associate
Professor and former Dean of the Schulich School of Law at Dalhousie
University, examined the CRA’s operational processes and decisions in
relation to the KPMG offshore tax structure and its efforts to obtain
the names of all taxpayers participating in the scheme. Following this
review, the report, released on May 5, 2016, concluded that the CRA
had acted appropriately in its management of the KPMG Isle of Man
file. The report found that the series of compliance measures the CRA
took were in accordance with its policies and procedures. It was
concluded that the procedural actions taken on the KPMG file were
appropriate given the facts of this particular case and were
consistent with the treatment of taxpayers in similar situations. The
report concluded that actions by CRA employees were in accordance with
the CRA’s Code of Integrity and Professional Conduct. There was no
evidence of inappropriate interaction between KPMG and the CRA
employees involved in the case.
Under the CRA’s Code of Integrity and Professional Conduct, all CRA
employees are responsible for real, apparent, or potential conflicts
of interests between their current duties and any subsequent
employment outside of the CRA or the Public Service of Canada.
Consequences and corrective measures play an important role in
protecting the CRA’s integrity.
The CRA takes misconduct very seriously. The consequences of
misconduct depend on the gravity of the incident and its repercussions
on trust both within and outside of the CRA. Misconduct can result in
disciplinary measures up to dismissal.
All forms of tax evasion are illegal. The CRA manages the Informant
Leads Program, which handles leads received from the public regarding
cases of tax evasion across the country. This program, which
coordinates all the leads the CRA receives from informants, determines
whether there has been any non-compliance with tax law and ensures
that the information is examined and conveyed, if applicable, so that
compliance measures are taken. This program does not offer any reward
for tips received.
The new Offshore Tax Informant Program (OTIP) has also been put in
place. The OTIP offers financial compensation to individuals who
provide information related to major cases of offshore tax evasion
that lead to the collection of tax owing. As of December 31, 2016, the
OTIP had received 963 calls and 407 written submissions from possible
informants. Over 218 taxpayers are currently under audit based on
information the CRA received through the OTIP.
With a focus on the highest-risk sectors nationally and
internationally and an increased ability to gather information, the
CRA has the means to target taxpayers who try to hide their income.
For example, since January 2015, the CRA has been collecting
information on all international electronic funds transfers (EFTs) of
$10,000 or more ending or originating in Canada. It is also adopting a
proactive approach by focusing each year on four jurisdictions that
raise suspicion. For the Isle of Man, the CRA audited 3,000 EFTs
totalling $860 million over 12 months and involving approximately 800
taxpayers. Based on these audits, the CRA communicated with
approximately 350 individuals and 400 corporations and performed 60
audits.
In January 2017, I reaffirmed Canada’s important role as a leader for
tax authorities around the world in detecting the structures used for
aggressive tax planning and tax evasion. This is why Canada works
daily with the Joint International Tax Shelter Information Centre
(JITSIC), a network of tax administrations in over 35 countries. The
CRA participates in two expert groups within the JITSIC and leads the
working group on intermediaries and proponents. This ongoing
collaboration is a key component of the CRA’s work to develop strong
relationships with the international community, which will help it
refine the world-class tax system that benefits all Canadians.
The CRA is increasing its efforts and is seeing early signs of
success. Last year, the CRA recovered just under $13 billion as a
result of its audit activities on the domestic and offshore fronts.
Two-thirds of these recoveries are the result of its audit efforts
relating to large businesses and multinational companies.
But there is still much to do, and additional improvements and
investments are underway.
Tax cheats are having a harder and harder time hiding. Taxpayers who
choose to promote or participate in malicious and illegal tax
strategies must face the consequences of their actions. Canadians
expect nothing less. I invite you to read my most recent statement on
this matter at canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/news/2017/03/
statement_from_thehonourabledianelebouthillie rministerofnational.
Thank you for taking the time to write. I hope the information I have
provided is helpful.
Sincerely,
The Honourable Diane Lebouthillier
Minister of National Revenue

>> Fredericton, New Brunswick, December 23, 2015
>>
>> PRESENT: The Honourable Mr. Justice Bell
>>
>> BETWEEN:
>>
>> DAVID RAYMOND AMOS
>>
>> Plaintiff
>>
>> and
>>
>> HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN
>>
>> Defendant
>>
>> ORDER
>>
>> (Delivered orally from the Bench in Fredericton, New Brunswick, on
>> December 14, 2015)
>>
>> The Plaintiff seeks an appeal de novo, by way of motion pursuant to
>> the Federal Courts Rules (SOR/98-106), from an Order made on November
>> 12, 2015, in which Prothonotary Morneau struck the Statement of Claim
>> in its entirety.
>>
>> At the outset of the hearing, the Plaintiff brought to my attention a
>> letter dated September 10, 2004, which he sent to me, in my then
>> capacity as Past President of the New Brunswick Branch of the Canadian
>> Bar Association, and the then President of the Branch, Kathleen Quigg,
>> (now a Justice of the New Brunswick Court of Appeal). In that letter
>> he stated:
>>
>> As for your past President, Mr. Bell, may I suggest that you check the
>> work of Frank McKenna before I sue your entire law firm including you.
>> You are your brother’s keeper.
>>
>> Frank McKenna is the former Premier of New Brunswick and a former
>> colleague of mine at the law firm of McInnes Cooper. In addition to
>> expressing an intention to sue me, the Plaintiff refers to a number of
>> people in his Motion Record who he appears to contend may be witnesses
>> or potential parties to be added. Those individuals who are known to
>> me personally, include, but are not limited to the former Prime
>> Minister of Canada, The Right Honourable Stephen Harper; former
>> Attorney General of Canada and now a Justice of the Manitoba Court of
>> Queen’s Bench, Vic Toews; former member of Parliament Rob Moore;
>> former Director of Policing Services, the late Grant Garneau; former
>> Chief of the Fredericton Police Force, Barry McKnight; former Staff
>> Sergeant Danny Copp; my former colleagues on the New Brunswick Court
>> of Appeal, Justices Bradley V. Green and Kathleen Quigg, and, retired
>> Assistant Commissioner Wayne Lang of the Royal Canadian Mounted
>> Police.
>>
>> In the circumstances, given the threat in 2004 to sue me in my
>> personal capacity and my past and present relationship with many
>> potential witnesses and/or potential parties to the litigation, I am
>> of the view there would be a reasonable apprehension of bias should I
>> hear this motion. See Justice de Grandpré’s dissenting judgment in
>> Committee for Justice and Liberty et al v National Energy Board et al,
>> [1978] 1 SCR 369 at p 394 for the applicable test regarding
>> allegations of bias. In the circumstances, although neither party has
>> requested I recuse myself, I consider it appropriate that I do so.
>>
>>
>> AS A RESULT OF MY RECUSAL, THIS COURT ORDERS that the Administrator of
>> the Court schedule another date for the hearing of the motion. There
>> is no order as to costs.

>> “B. Richard Bell”
>> Judge

>>
>> Below after the CBC article about your concerns (I made one comment
>> already) you will find the text of just two of many emails I had sent
>> to your office over the years since I first visited it in 2006.

>> Canada’s and Canadians free ride is over. Canada can no longer hide
>> behind Amerka’s and NATO’s skirts.

>> When I was still in Canadian Forces then Prime Minister Jean Chretien
>> actually committed the Canadian Army to deploy in the second campaign

>> of concern for operational guidance, direction, and forces for
>> operations after the initial occupation of Iraq. At the “last minute”
>> Prime Minister Chretien and the Liberal government changed its mind.
>> The Canadian government told our amerkan cousins that we would not
>> deploy combat troops for the Iraq campaign, but would deploy a
>> Canadian Battle Group to Afghanistan, enabling our amerkan cousins to
>> redeploy troops from there to Iraq. The PMO’s thinking that it was
>> less costly to deploy Canadian Forces to Afghanistan than Iraq. But
>> alas no one seems to remind the Liberals of Prime Minister Chretien’s

>> incompetence and stupidity, the Canadian Army was heroic,
>> professional, punched well above it’s weight, and the PPCLI Battle
>> Group, is credited with “saving Afghanistan” during the Panjway
>> campaign of 2006.
>>
>> What Justin Trudeau and the Liberals don’t tell you now, is that then
>> Liberal Prime Minister Jean Chretien committed, and deployed the
>> Canadian army to Canada’s longest “war” without the advice, consent,
>> support, or vote of the Canadian Parliament.
>>
>> What David Amos and the rest of the ignorant, uneducated, and babbling
>> chattering classes are too addled to understand is the deployment of
>> less than 75 special operations troops, and what is known by planners
>> as a “six pac cell” of fighter aircraft is NOT the same as a
>> deployment of a Battle Group, nor a “war” make.
>>
>> The Canadian Government or The Crown unlike our amerkan cousins have
>> the “constitutional authority” to commit the Canadian nation to war.
>> That has been recently clearly articulated to the Canadian public by
>> constitutional scholar Phillippe Legasse. What Parliament can do is
>> remove “confidence” in The Crown’s Government in a “vote of
>> non-confidence.” That could not happen to the Chretien Government
>> regarding deployment to Afghanistan, and it won’t happen in this
>> instance with the conservative majority in The Commons regarding a
>> limited Canadian deployment to the Middle East.
>>
>> President George Bush was quite correct after 911 and the terror

> 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

>
> [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

> 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.

> 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

> II. Preliminary Matter
>
> [5] Mr. Amos, in his memorandum of fact and law in

> 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

>
> [6] Mr. Amos was of the view that he did not have to

> had identified the judges in various documents that had been filed

> Court of Appeal are the same court and therefore any document filed in

> 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

> 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

> 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

> [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” in English and “Cour d’appel fédérale” in French. It is

> 3 La Section d’appel, aussi appelée la Cour d’appel ou la Cour d’appel

> 29 It seems to me that what appears at first sight to be an

> 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

>
> 30 That brings me then to consider the particular circumstances

> To us, one significant factor stands out, and must inform

> 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

> In these circumstances it cannot be reasonably contended that the

> [19] Justice Webb had no involvement with any matter

> [20] Similarly in R. v. Bagot, 2000 MBCA 30, 145 Man. R.

>
> [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

> [24] Mr. Amos alleged that Justice Near’s past professional

> [25] Insofar as it is possible to glean the basis for Mr.

> 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

>
> 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

> c) There must be an element of bad faith or dishonesty by the public

> 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

A business graduate from École des sciences de la gestion (ESG) at
Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM), Renaud has always been drawn
to politics. First getting involved in politics at the age of
eighteen, he quickly left partisan politics, preferring to focus on
getting his ideals implemented instead of simply getting some guy
elected.
That is how he became involved in Generation Screwed, first as UQAM
coordinator, and then later as the movement’s Executive Director.
There, he worked on mobilizing young Canadians against government debt
and massive deficits, two of the greatest issues facing his generation
and Canada as a whole due to our aging population and our politicians’
lack of vision for anything past their four-year-terms.
Renaud is passionate about issues regarding economic development,
efficient government and free trade. This is why he got involved with
the CTF in the first place and remains involved to this day.

For the Public Record anyone with two clues between their ears can see
that despite what your tax free organization names imply The Canadian
Taxpayers Federation and The National Citizens Coalition you are just
overpaid far right wing spindoctors who either work for politicians or
have worked for them as you try to become politicians yourselves
I bet by now you not so clever neo con punks have at least finally
figured out that threats from politcal wannabes and their corrupt
lawyers and cops pals don't scare Mean Old Me not even a little bit.
Imagine if the neo con punks had figured out what has been going on
been the Feds and I since 1982. The Libranos and the RCMP would not
have their way with Canada for so long EH Assistant Commisioner Gilles
Moreau?

Also for the Public Record John Williamson and Kevin Lacey should not
deny that I have spoken with both of them personally several times
since 2005 and sent them many emails since then. Kevin Lacey can't
deny that his beloved Premier Hamm quit as Premier as soon as I
informed Murray Scott the I would publish the letter below in Chucky
Leblanc's blog while all the corrupt left wing CBC dudes were locked
out of ther jobs and could not report it even if they wanted to.

RE: Public Corruption
Hey,
Apparently everybody wanted to play dumb about my concerns and
allegations so that Humpty Dumpty Martin's minority government would
not fall and they could party hardy while the Queen was in Canada. As
you all know months ago, I began faxing, emailing and calling the
eight other Lt. Governors I had yet to cross paths with. I fully
informed them of my indignation towards the Governor General Clarkson
and two of her other Maritime Lieutenants Roberts and Chaisson before
the latest wave of bad acting Yankees invaded my home in the USA
without warrants or due process if law.
I made certain all of the provincial Attorney Generals and Premiers
can never deny the fact that I tried to make them well aware of my
concerns and allegations in order to make everybody should sit up and
pay attention. Not one person from any of your offices ever responded
in any fashion at all. You can be certain that I expected the
deliberate ignorance. It is one of the oldest tricks in the book that
lawyers employ in order to play their wicked game of see no evil, hear
no evil speak no evil. I knew it would happen particularly after Nova
Scotia's Conflict of Interest Commissioner Merlin Nunn had blocked my
emails before I had contacted you. I have no doubt it helped to
relieve him of his ethical dilemma before the NS NDP decided what to
do about their chance to unseat the Conservatives. I have no doubt
whatsoever many lawyers in Canada were praying that the Suffolk County
District Attorney would have me back in the loony bin by April 28th
and that all your troubles would go away. I opted to let you all have
your way and did not bother you anymore until the Queen had left our
shores and Parliament quit for the summer. Now it is my turn to have
some fun and raise a little Political Hell.
While the Queen, Clarkson and Martin where all having a grand old time
on the Canadian dime my little Clan went through living hell down
here. Trust me, lawyers need to learn some new tricks. Ignorance is no
excuse to the law or me. Making some Canadian Attorney Generals and
their political buddies show me their arses is child's play to me
after all that I have experienced in the last few years. If you doubt
me ask Michael J. Bryant and Yvon Marcoux why I am so pissed at their
bosses and the DHS. Then check my work for yourself. If the tag team
of John Ashcroft and Tom Ridge could not intimidate me, believe me you
people don't have a prayer. Both of those dudes have quit their jobs
but I am still standing and squaring off against their replacements
now. If it were not for all the decent folks I know, the snotty ones
like you would make me feel ashamed to be a Canadian. There is no
shortage of lawyers. It is just that ethical ones that are rare birds,
that's all. You must know how easily the Canadian people can replace
you with other lawyers if it becomes widely known how willing you are
to ignore crime if it means some fancy dude may be compelled to suffer
for his own wrongs.
The justice system is supposed to be self-policing. It should clean up
its own act rather than trying to maintain a false mask of integrity
for lawyers that are obviously criminals. It is way beyond my
understanding why you people would choose to support the likes of Paul
Martin, Adrienne Clarkson, T. Alex Hickman and Billy Matthews if you
are not all as crooked as hell as well. The deliberate ignorance and
double-talk employed by the wealthy few to dodge simple truths is
absolutely offensive to ordinary people blessed with the rare
attribute called common sense. Not all folks are like sheep. Paul
Martin's latest tricks make for a very fine example of truly how bad
things are. Even amidst wholesale scandals breaking out hell, west and
crooked everywhere lawyers and politicians just close ranks and stand
together as thick as the thieves they are. I stress tested the ethics
of the ladies of the Bloc Quebecois and the Gomery Inquiry immediately
after Martin's carefully orchestrated little circus in Parliament on
May 19th was a matter of history. Lets just say I was not surprised to
not hear one peep in response from anyone other than to get a call
from an unidentified and very nervous but cocky Yankee lawyer claiming
that Tony Blair was mad at me.
Pursuant to my phone calls, emails and faxes please find enclosed as
promised exactly the same hard copy of what I sent to the Canadian
Ambassadors Allan Rock and Franky Boy McKenna and a couple of nasty
FBI agents on May 12th just before an interesting event in front of
our home in Milton. I have also included a copy of four letters I have
received in response since then that you may find interesting to say
the least. I also sent you a copy of a letter sent to a lady Ms.
Condolezza Rice whom our former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney
considers to be the most powerful woman in the world. The CD of the
copy of police surveillance tape # 139 is served upon all the above
named Attorney Generals as officers of the court in order that it may
be properly investigated. I will not bother you with the details of
what I am sending to you byway of the certified US Mail because I will
be serving identical material to many other Canadian Authorities in
hand and tell them I gave this stuff to you first and enclose a copy
of this letter. All that is important to me right now is that I secure
proof that this mail was sent before I make my way back home to the
Maritimes.
However I will say I am also enclosing a great deal more material than
what Allan Rock had received in the UN. Some of it is in fact the same
material the two maritime lawyers, Rob Moore and Franky Boy McKenna in
particular received, while I was up home running for Parliament last
year. Things have changed greatly in the past year so I have also
included a few recent items to spice things up for you. I am tired of
trying to convince people employed in law enforcement to uphold the
law. So all I will say for now is deal will your own conscience and be
careful how you respond to this letter. If you do not respond. Rest
assured I will do my best to sue you some day. Ignorance is no excuse
to the law or me.
Veritas Vincit
David R. Amos
The enclosed letter from The Public Service Integrity Office, whose
boss recently testified before the Gomery Inquiry and following quotes
prove why I must speak out.
"Well what do you expect?" said Le Hir in reaction. "Anybody who had
been involved in that kind of thing isn't going to admit readily, or
willfully, to having participated." Asked why he's waited 10 years to
come out with his allegations, Le Hir said he was "sworn to secrecy."
"I'm breaking that oath, and the only way I could have been relieved
by that oath was by a judge in a court saying, 'Mr. Lehir, I
understand that you have made an oath of secrecy; and you're hereby
relieved of that oath." "Mr. Wallace added that police and the courts,
not internal rules, are best-equipped to deal with bureaucrats who cross
the line and break the law. But Judge Gomery did not appear satisfied.
"It takes a major scandal to get the police involved," he said. "It is not
in the nature of the public service to call in the police."
Everybody knows that in order to protect the rights and interests of
my Clan and to sooth my own soul, I have proven many times over that
all lawyers, law enforcement authorities, and politicians in Canada
and the USA are not worthy of the public trust. I maintain that their
first order of business is to protect the evil longstanding system
they have created for their own benefit rather than the people they
claim to serve. Call me a liar and put it in writing. I Double Dog
Dare ya.
Baker got my material. So did everyone else. Only the Attorney General
in Quecbec refused it. I bet our newest Governor General knows why. It
is likely for the same reason she will not accept my emails. It should
be obvious to anyone why I must sue the Crown.
That said I must add some more "info" about Jimmy Prentice and his
minions for you " Taxpayer" dudes to try to ignore and also say Hey to
couple of lawyers on your board of Directors one of whom I have
crossed paths with before

opposed Jews owning private property. That's correct.

@michaeltaube I misunderstood, then. I thought she was saying it was
"Nazi" to oppose private property rights.

Mr. David R. Amos
153 Alvin Avenue
Milton, MA U.S.A. 02186
Dear Mr. Amos
Thank you for your letter of November 19th, 2003, addressed to my
predecessor, the Honourble Wayne Easter, regarding your safety.
I apologize for the delay in responding.
If you have any concerns about your personal safety, I can only suggest
that you contact the police of local jurisdiction. In addition, any evidence of
criminal activity should be brought to their attention since the police are in
the best position to evaluate the information and take action as deemed
appropriate.
I trust that this information is satisfactory.
Yours sincerely
A. Anne McLellan
September 11th, 2004
Dear Mr. Amos,
On behalf of Her Excellency the Right Honourable Adrienne
Clarkson, I acknowledge receipt of two sets of documents and
CD regarding corruption, one received from you directly, and the
other forwarded to us by the Office of the Lieutenant Governor of
New Brunswick.
I regret to inform you that the Governor General cannot
intervene in matters that are the responsibility of elected officials
and courts of Justice of Canada. You already contacted the various
provincial authorities regarding your concerns, and these were the
appropriate steps to take.
Yours sincerely.
Renee Blanchet
Office of the Secretary to the Governor General
