Mr. David Amos

Dear Mr. Amos:

This will acknowledge receipt of a copy of your e-mail of December 29,
2006 to Corporal Warren McBeath of the RCMP.

Because of the nature of the allegations made in your message, I have
taken the measure of forwarding a copy to Assistant Commissioner Steve
Graham of the RCMP °J" Division in Fredericton.

Sincerely,

Honourable Michael B. Murphy
Minister of Health

Dear Mr. Amos,

Thank you for your follow up e-mail to me today. I was on days off
over the holidays and returned to work this evening. Rest assured I
was not ignoring or procrastinating to respond to your concerns.

As your attachment sent today refers from Premier Graham, our position
is clear on your dead calf issue: Our forensic labs do not process
testing on animals in cases such as yours, they are referred to the
Atlantic Veterinary College in Charlottetown who can provide these
services. If you do not choose to utilize their expertise in this
instance, then that is your decision and nothing more can be done.

As for your other concerns regarding the US Government, false
imprisonment and Federal Court Dates in the US, etc... it is clear
that Federal authorities are aware of your concerns both in Canada and
the US. These issues do not fall into the purvue of Detachment
policing in Petitcodiac, NB.

It was indeed an interesting and informative conversation we had on
December 23rd, and I wish you well in all of your future endeavors.

Sincerely,

Warren McBeath, Cpl.

@David Raymond Amos I do declare its rather hard to respond to other
folks comments directed at me when I don't know or quite sometime if
the CBC moderators have allowed my last comment to be posted. Then if
my comment is allowed it is usually buried by a host of other comments
so I wind up responding to myself once I do see that my comment was
allowed.

A good example happened within this thread. I commented and I was
blocked. Hence I did not bother to waste time commenting on a topic
that I knew for certain that CBC would block for the benefit of their
friends in the other Crown Corp the RCMP. At least I know for a fact
that the non union RCMP and the the unionized CBC know I know a lot
about this topic and their evil bosses appointed by Harper Paulson and
Lacroix have ordered them all to ignore me or they will be chastised.
So much for ethical cops and journalists who are well paid by our tax
dollars to tell us the truth EH?

Please read this greedy nonsense and laugh as hard as I did (As man
who used to own his own business and employed other I earned the right

Ottawa, provinces fail to reach a deal on health spending
Ottawa offers $11.5B over 10 years for targeted priorities, but
provinces want higher annual transfers
By John Paul Tasker, CBC News Posted: Dec 19, 2016 2:07 PM ET

Finance Minister Bill Morneau bows his head during a news conference
with Minister of Health Jane Philpott following the Finance Ministers
meeting in Ottawa, Monday, Dec. 19, 2016.

Ottawa and the provinces have failed to reach a deal on health-care
funding, despite a $11.5-billion pledge by the federal government to
boost targeted spending on home care and mental health.

The federal government has now taken that offer off the table, Finance
Minister Bill Morneau said Monday, and the Canada Health Transfer
(CHT) spending increase will revert to 3 per cent a year as of April
1, 2017.

Morneau had told the provinces he was willing to grow that key federal
transfer by 3.5 per cent each year over the next five years — at a
value of roughly $20 billion — but the provinces balked.

"We came to the provinces with a significant offer of funds ... We're
disappointed we weren't successful," Morneau told reporters.

Jane Philpott, Canada's health minister, said the federal government's
money could have made a real difference in the lives of many
Canadians.

"I woke up this morning feeling very hopeful, thinking about half a
million kids that are waiting for care for mental health services and
hoping to be able to give them good news today," she said.

"We're disappointed that the provinces and territories did not feel
like they could accept this offer and that they couldn't find ways to
use these resources immediately, to be able to get care out to
Canadians."

meeting in Ottawa, Monday, Dec. 19, 2016. (Adrian Wyld/Canadian Press)

Ontario Finance Minister Charles Sousa said while the provinces
rejected the federal funding plan, it was Morneau who was responsible
for ending the meeting early.

"There was an urgency to close the meeting off. We're here, we desire
an agreement, we need to come to a conclusion. Why have anybody attend
if there's nothing to negotiate or discuss?" Sousa said, adding Ottawa
wasn't willing to listen to evidence that its proposed funding plan
would imperil the country's health-care system.

    Ottawa brought ultimatum, not a deal: Manitoba health minister
    Provinces take aim at health care 'ultimatum'


He said the proposed $11.5-billion funding boost is the equivalent of
just three months of health spending.

P.E.I. Premier Wade MacLauchlan said the federal government refused to
accept a counter-offer of growing the health escalator by 5.2 per cent
a year, and had a "take it or leave it" approach to negotiations.

Now, the provinces will leave with no more money for health care than
when they arrived in Ottawa on Sunday for the renewed health accord
talks.

Liberals sticking with Harper's escalator

The provinces and territories have enjoyed six per cent year-over-year
growth in transfers from the federal government since the last health
accord was reached with former prime minister Paul Martin in 2004.

Former finance minister Jim Flaherty unilaterally changed funding
increases to either match the rate of GDP growth or three per cent a
year — whichever is greater. (The funding change will take effect next
year.)

Provincial and territorial health ministers have presented a united
front against Ottawa's insistence that the annualized increase is a
"reasonable escalator," saying that rate is too low to keep pace with
a rapidly aging population.

    What's at stake with today's Health Accord funding talks?
    Health care funding talks turn hostile amid walkout threats


"This was an historic offer,"  Philpott said, adding the 3.5 per cent
figure is higher than GDP growth, inflation, and provincial health
spending over the past five years.

"I think there is widespread agreement that the systems themselves
need some transformation, and we're going to continue to look for ways
to do that," she said.

Philpott has said that Ottawa wants to extract greater efficiencies
from provinces that have seen substantial funding increases for health
care over the past 12 years with few meaningful improvements to health
outcomes and wait times.

The federal government's last offer to the provinces included $6
billion for home care, with $1 billion of that money set aside for
home-care infrastructure, and a further $5 billion towards spending on
mental health services over the next decade.

The government was also offering an additional $544 million over five
years in funding for unspecified provincial and territorial
prescription drug initiatives, and "health innovation."

'We have work to do,' P.E.I. premier says

MacLauchlan said the provinces have been asking for a first ministers'
meeting on health care spending with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau,
but have repeatedly been rebuffed.

That sort of roundtable is now more important than ever before,
MacLauchlan said, and the premiers would like to convene such a
meeting early in the new year.

He said failing to agree to such a meeting would fly in the face of
Trudeau's campaign promise to engage in "collaborative federalism."

"We do not believe that, as of the end of the day today, that we're at
an impasse, we have work to do," he said.

In an interview with Rosemary Barton on CBC's Power & Politics after
the meeting, New Brunswick appeared to break ranks.

Finance Minister Cathy Rogers said New Brunswick would be interested
in a "bilateral" health agreement with the federal government.

Federal and provincial finance ministers kicked off meetings in Ottawa
with a working dinner last night and were joined by health ministers
this morning.

Threats of walk out over 'ridiculous' offer

Quebec Health Minister Gaétan Barrette earlier threatened to walk out
of the meetings if the federal government doesn't put more money on
the table.

"This is not a negotiation process; this is an ultimatum," Barrette
said before the day-long talks between federal and provincial finance
and health ministers got underway.

"We cannot resolve that over a one-day period ... and we will walk
away if the proposal doesn't change."
On the way in to Monday's meeting, Philpott talked about the federal
government's desire to target funding for home care and mental health.

She said there are 500,000 Canadians who are not able to go to work
because they are mentally ill, while more than 15 per cent of patients
in hospital beds are occupied by people who could actually be at home
or in the community.

"The kind of money we're putting on the table today for the provinces
and territories means that we will able to close that gap entirely [in
those specific areas]. This is a historical, transformative offer,"
she said. "We know the Canada Health Transfer is the biggest it's ever
been."

Barrette said it was "completely ridiculous" for Philpott to call the
deal "transformative."
"If Minister Philpott is calling this is a transformative proposal,
she's right. She'll be transforming the system and for the worse."
