is a good election question question: will any of the Federal Parties
make a committment to change the the Ombudsman reporting to Parliament

Partisanship this is raised again?

Little David Amos’ “True History Of War” Canadian Airstrikes And
Stupid Justin Trudeau
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 in
Iraq, the Coalition of the Willing. This was against or contrary to the
wisdom or advice of those of us Canadian officers that were involved in
the initial planning phases of that operation. There were significant
concern in our planning cell, and NDHQ about of the dearth 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.
Jill
Bennet It
doesn't sound like Minister Sajjan is trusted? Personally, I think
there is too much power concentration in the PMO, especially under
majority governments.
Harper's time: confidentiality breaches of veteran private and
confidential health records shared among the government bureaucracy
right up to a PR department, for spin? Why was it there?
Trudeau Government: the Norman case and the power of the Irving family,
what were their paws doing on that? This was PCO related? We don't get
to find out-- where's our assurance, this practice stops? Where is the
acvountability for that? Were the wrong-doers fired? SNCL. . .
contempt for judicial independence?
It's damaging to our institutions and the public trust.
After the Liberal party railing over the "Harper Dictatorship"-- what changed?
"Walbourne, while still in office, asked to be made an officer of Parliament and that was rejected by Sajjan.
More recently, newly appointed Veterans Ombudsman Craig Dalton asked the
Liberal government for an independent review of his mandate — one that
would include the possibility of him reporting independently and
directly to Parliament, instead of to the minister.
Following cross-Canada meetings with veterans groups, advocates and
individual former soldiers, Dalton said he's become concerned there's a
lack of trust in his office and that it is perceived as too close to the
minister."

You actually want to enter into that fray?
Good luck to you. :-)
It looks painfully messy at times, even though I believe there are a lot
of good people working hard and delivering good services for our
veterans and for Canada, but. . .
I don't think I would want enter that, without some really solid mental
help-- this Ombudsman role looks set up for so much pain and personal
suffering and burnout-- it's broken- and it's unethical to be confined
in repirting to just the minister of defense.
And I beleive the politics can be so full of toxic stress, that it's
hard to imagine that people of genuine good will could even tolerate it,
lol. That's why we have what have in there, because a logical
assessment of it, I think could lead to a rational decision that it's
just healthy and not worth harming oneself, risk burnout, and longer
term harm to oneself.
It looks like vipers' nest to me, lol. I don't see how an honest,
rational, thinking person of honour and with values could last that long
in that pit, lol But some do-- they're all stuck in the all the muck,
I'm sure.
I think it could suck one's soul right out. It's a maochistic choice,
unless one is properly strengthened with a protective dose of cynicism,
lol Strong mental health help and good healthy daily routines of
self-care.
It truly looks really awful and would be hard to bear for a person who
genuinely cares. It just looks that aweful in there, lol
Do I wish you success? I don't know if I could wish that viper pit of
political life on to anyone? So, I'll just wish you happiness. Keep
your chin up. And do everything you can to build up your resilience and
well being, because you'll need it for that.

Karl Bueckert "The office should report directly to Parliament and should be administratively de-coupled from DND"...YES!!!
What a cushy job moving from a high ranking military position into the
ombudsman position...as if the job is a given to a chosen one...
snuggling up to your buddy buddies still in uniform and keeping the
ombudsman office out of reach of change! Anyone coming in with the
intentions of change...that's an invitation for harassment. Although, I
see issues on both sides here Gary! I am only going to refer to DND
here.
DND, tsk tsk...some accountability will have to be forced with DND
members and that means a new investigation. Keeping a dysfunctional
office is to DND's advantage! DND should have zero powers over the
Ombudsman office and not have any input on open positions.
Ombudsman office...clean them all out, every one of them...reassign far away from this office. Start new.
This has been going on since the inception of the Ombudsman office!
Harper made it much worse during his tenure and the Old Boys Club took
advantage! Time for change but not by another Harperite.
Parliament needs to address this separate from DND. I think Canadians
would agree that the cost of an ombudsman office that is separated from
DND is worth the money for the sake of military members needs but lets
take those funds away (not out of) the military budget . The old boys
club will then have to deal with their fear that a separate ombudsman
office will erode military authority and leadership by addressing their
own wrong doings! Enough of this deliberate undermining of what is
right for our men and women who stand up for Canada instead of being
used and abused only to be tossed to the curb with a royal handshake and
a flip by VAC!
David Raymond Amos
Reply to @Karl Bueckert: I Wholeheartedly Agree Sir
Jill Bennet The
extremes of Kook Left and Kook Right are both bad extremes. I can see
now the damage this can cause to our country's institutions. As much as
I might have preferences for some elements of political platforms over
others, it is a disservice to Canada to elect incompetent or overly
ideologically partisan individuals or 'placeholders' to office. Have to
scrutinize local candidates very closely-- check credentials, CV,
character and intellect, view performance in town halls, interview
them-- check their clarity of thought.
MPs are suppose to defer to deputy ministers, but if the MP or PM are
incompetent, overly ideological, they can make some bad choices and
arrogance can cause MPs to over-step where they really shouldn't. . .
David Raymond Amos
Reply to @Jill Bennet: "scrutinize local candidates very closely"
Whereas I am running again perhaps you should Google Fundy Royal Debate to review what I said four long year ago
Jill Bennet It
sounds possible that Mr. Walbourne was an intelligent man going up
against possible arrogance and ignorance in Mr.Sajjan? I hate to say
it, but that's what it looks like to me.
E.g. I see the advocacy the Mr. Walbourne was trying to do re: the
internal CF dispute resolution process, the "IC2M program"-- and the
issue of protecting soldier condentiality from Snr. leadership,
otherwise what's the point of the program? Why not go to Snr.
leadership?
But some conflicts are more complicated, and it seems like a good idea
to have alternative conflict resolution route for clearing up
misunderstanding-- it could prevent OSIs from getting entrenched.
Exceptions to confidentiality can exist, but there should be *informed
consent* on what those exceptions are (e.g. Mental Health Act/serious
risk, MH referral).
Anyway, Walbourne's point is about the fixing the process/procedure so
soldiers can feel safe talk (without fear of serious repercussions to
career), but NOT inserting himself into direct intervention between
soldiers in dispute IN the IC2M program itself.
Was Saajan too dim to understand that difference?
Was it language barrier?
An educational barrier?
An ego/arrogance/incompetence barrier? An overstepping his ministerial authority?
Exaggeration of role in A-stan-- which is a character flag-- symptom of problematic narcissism/self-delusion :-(
I honesty hate the partisan circus-- it's corrosive to institutions. It
wears at our social cohesion, our social fabric. It damages
professionalism and it can be bs *incompetent* people use to take the
heat off themselves. I don't that's what Walbourne is about-- It looks
to me like he was facing arrogance and ignorance in Mr. Sajjan. Maybe
it's Mr. Sajjan who should be resigning (+ some others. . .)?

It's hard to know anything or claim any certainty based on so little

just potential flags-- there's no way to really confirm any of it.
There has to be other unseen variables, possibly not all them are
neccesarily nefarious, but in service to our country.

MP Maxime Bernier quits 'morally corrupt' Conservatives, plans to start new party
Conservative leader says Bernier was more occupied with advancing his own profile than the needs of the party

"Keith Laughton Reply to Reply to@Awistoyus Nahasthay
Are you suggesting that Mr Scheer should break Canadian Law?
Try looking at the Parliament of Canada Act, specifically section 49.2.
49.2 A member of a caucus may only be expelled from it if
(a) the caucus chair has received a written notice signed by at least
20% of the members of the caucus requesting that the member’s membership
be reviewed; and
(b) the expulsion of the member is approved by secret ballot by a majority of all caucus members."
Given that this is the law of the land you may ask why Mr Singh and Mr
Trudeau are not considered to be breaking the same law since they have
expelled caucus members.
That is the result of Section 49.8 of the same law
"49.8 (1) At its first meeting following a general election, the caucus
of every party that has a recognized membership of 12 or more persons in
the House of Commons shall conduct a separate vote among the caucus
members in respect of each of the following questions:
(a) whether sections 49.2 and 49.3 are to apply in respect of the caucus"
The Conservatives decided to place themselves under section 49.2 in this parliament, just like the law says.
Happy to have cleared up your confusion about the issue that is evident from your post.

David Amos Reply to @Keith Laughton Enlightening but methinks a strong

Lawrence Wilson Mr.
Walbourne was appointed by Mr. Harper. He seems to have politicized his
office by using the media to try to make the Liberals look bad. Like
the other Conservative appointee, Mr. Norman, he seems to have had
greater allegiance to the Conservative Party than to the current
government. This article has given him a last chance to show his
negativity towards the government. News articles use to reveal both
sides of a story. This one only reveals the side of the disgruntled,
former employee. Little substance. Much innuendo. Why did Mr. Walbourne
decide to speak out during the election?
Keith
Laughton
Reply to @Lawrence Wilson:
It appears that you don't actually read articles since you claim that
VAdm Norman was a Harper appointee. He was promoted in rank by every
government since he joined during the time of Pierre Elliot Trudeau.
That included his appointment as VCDS by Justin Trudeau.
And the RCMP didn't bother to talk to VAdm Norman, or seek any evidence,
other than from the Liberal Cabinet and their support staff, to test
their theory.
Now as to Mr Walbourne, in your own post you present a one-sided view
about Federal Court Documents, and indulge in innuendo with no facts, as
to his partisan nature, almost like they were scripted by Ms Telford.
It does seem that you don't believe that the Pubic Service is
non-partisan. That could explain why the two Clerks of the Privy
Council appointed by Mr Trudeau have been so diligent about preventing
RCMP investigators, and the Trudeau appointed Ethics Commissioner, from
gaining access to Government information when the subject is Mr Trudeau
or his cabinet.

should also relate to the sexual harassment within the military. The
forum was open to comments with the RCMP enquire, we heard there were
some 2000 complaints of harassment and no report on how many were
founded, but 200,000 million was set aside.
The Military sexual harassment no details or comments allowed but we hear the figure of
900,000 million being mentioned but no number of complaints. Why the
vast difference in the way they are handled and why doesn’t the public
get details. Perhaps our media has slipped up or overlooked the issue?

>
> 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.

Former military ombudsman claims DND vendetta drove him into retirement
'There comes a point ... when you have to consider whether I could do any further good." - Gary Walbourne

The Department of National Defence
conducted a closed-door, wide-ranging review of complaints of
mismanagement, nepotism and misuse of public funds in the Office of the
Canadian Forces ombudsman last year, CBC News has learned.
The
review was instrumental in the early retirement of former watchdog Gary
Walbourne, according to recently released Federal Court documents.
In
an interview with CBC News, Walbourne said the internal review was a
flawed, politically-motivated inquiry intended to isolate and silence
him. He also said the process gained significant traction only after a
major, private falling out between him and Defence Minister Harjit
Sajjan.
Walbourne
refused to disclose the substance of his disagreement with the minister
in the late winter of 2018, but said it was serious enough that Sajjan
refused to speak or even meet with him for the remainder of his tenure.
"It
was a stiff conversation between adults that got a little heated," he
said. "Going into detail may breach some of the oaths I've taken as
Order in Council appointee."
Walbourne said that after his clash
with Sajjan — which took place in a private meeting on March 1, 2018 in
the minister's Parliament Hill office — he quickly found himself out of
the loop.
"Every meeting from that meeting forward was
cancelled. There were dozens of them that were set and cancelled over a
period of time," he said. "The authorities granted to the ombudsman by
the deputy minister's office were altered, changed, truncated, and it
just went on and on."
The conflict, he confirmed, led to him asking for early retirement.
"For
about the last eight or 10 months I was in office, I sat there without
financial or human resource authorities signed off by the deputy
minister," Walbourne said.
"So
when you take away the tools that allow you to do the job, you can't
get an audience with the minister to talk about subjects that are of
importance ... So there comes a point in time when you have to consider
whether I could do any further good."

Documents,
obtained by CBC News through both the Federal Court and independent
sources, corroborate Walbourne's statements about the meeting date and
the limits placed on his powers.
The apparent falling out with
Sajjan was also the culmination of rising friction between the
hard-charging, blunt-spoken ombudsman and the defence department, which
had grown increasingly irritated with his repeated public criticisms on a
number of topics.
The tension in the relationship spilled out
into the public in early 2017, when Walbourne complained of "insidious"
behind-the-scene attacks by DND officials. The relationship was so sour,
according to a report at the time by The Canadian Press, that Sajjan
wrote to the ombudsman in an attempt to smooth things over.
Walbourne's
persistent complaints before parliamentary committees — particularly
about the problems of transition to civilian life experienced by
military members — were greeted with visible irritation by both military
and civilian defence officials.
No answers from Sajjan
Sajjan refused to answer questions about Walbourne's allegations and the revelations in the Federal Court records.
The
minister's office released a written statement that did not address the
issues and said only that he valued "the substantive input, mandate and
independence" of the ombudsman's office.
"I am committed to
maintaining a positive and productive working relationship with the
Ombudsperson and have encouraged him to come to me should he be facing
issues in carrying out his mandate," the statement said. "I will
continue to value the work being done by the Office of the Ombudsperson
and look forward to continuing to work with the current Ombudsman."
Gregory Lick was named to replace Walbourne in November of last year.
The
review of Walbourne and three other staff members, according to Federal
Court records, was carried out by the defence department's assistant
deputy minister of review services.
Probe launched after staffer suicide
It
was initiated in response to an eight-page written complaint by an
investigator on the ombudsman's team after another long-time staffer
killed himself in April 2017.
The former ombudsman was accused
under the Public Servants Disclosure Protection Act of misuse of public
funds, inappropriate hiring practices and promotion without competition,
failure to accommodate a mental health disability in relation to the
death of his staff member, and failure to create a safe and healthy
workplace.
Four of the five complaints against Walbourne were deemed "founded."
The
allegation of misuse of public funds, involving the hiring of a former
journalist to write reports for the office, was thrown out.
Walbourne challenges the remaining findings and denied any wrongdoing.
He
said that one of the complaints — of inappropriate hiring — is
blatantly false because, while he knew one of the eight applicants for
the job in question, he had recused himself from the selection process.
In
fact, the staff member, hired in 2014, was vetted by a
multi-departmental committee that included an acting assistant deputy
minister, a director general from the Public Service Commission and a
Department of National Defence human resources executive, according to
documents (separate from the court filing) obtained by CBC News.
The
defence department was unable to explain how that information was not
taken into account in the findings of the investigation against
Walbourne.
A former ombudsman's staff member, who left before
the complaints were filed, said the watchdog routinely faced pushback
from long-time members of the team when he tried to overhaul the office
after he took over in 2014.
"Gary sought to professionalize the
investigation teams with mandatory training and the standardization of
the way systemic investigations were handled, and how the reports were
written," said retired lieutenant-colonel Jamie Robertson.
"This
rankled some members of the investigations team — the very same members
who were also discontented with the previous ombudsman."
'No-nonsense, Newfoundlander-direct'
The
revamp was a priority following a scathing report by the auditor
general, who in 2015 criticized the previous military ombudsman, retired
major-general Pierre Daigle, over a host of spending and hiring
decisions.
Walbourne's approach "was always no-nonsense, Newfoundlander-direct," and that ruffled feathers, said Robertson.
Other staff members under Walbourne faced similar but separate complaints of misconduct.
Melanie Chapman, Nadine Parker and Robyn Hynes were also faulted by the defence department review.
Chapman,
the ombudsman's director of investigations, contested the findings
against her. She took her case to Federal Court, saying the independent
investigators and senior defence officials who sat in judgment never
told her the substance of the complaints and denied her the opportunity
to properly defend herself.
A Federal Court judge ruled her treatment by defence officials was unreasonable.
"She was not given procedural fairness in the investigation process," Judge Russel Zinn wrote in a July 23 ruling.
"She
was not clearly apprised on the alleged wrongdoing, and she was not
informed what evidence had been gathered by the investigator. In short,
she was not given a meaningful right to be heard or given the
opportunity to know the case against her at any stage of this process."
The judge ordered the department to re-examine her case.
'Collateral damage'
Walbourne said he believes the complaints against him and the rest of the staff were handled in the same arbitrary manner.
The
investigation, which was conducted by an outside agency before being
handed to the head of the defence department's review services, was
formally launched in the fall of 2017.
Walbourne said he
believes officials seized upon the complaints and made them part of a
systematic campaign to discredit his office within the federal
government after a series of hard-hitting reports on the transition
issues facing members of the military.

deputy minister's office were altered, changed, truncated, and it just
went on and on." (Waubgeshig Rice/CBC)
"I
do believe the object of the investigation was me, but this
investigation was not just about me," he told CBC News. "There were
other members of my staff who I consider to be collateral damage."
The former ombudsman made his concerns about the investigation known to Sajjan when he decided to retire ahead of schedule.
"The
process has been flawed from the beginning and activity throughout has
been suspicious," he wrote in his March 2, 2018 resignation letter,
which was obtained by CBC News. "The names of those accused have been
released and are being shared across the environment. A direct attempt
to discredit and defame."
Court records filed in connection with
the Chapman case make reference to a whisper campaign and show a senior
staffer in deputy minister Jody Thomas' office acknowledged discussing
the investigation of the ombudsman and his staff with at least nine
senior defence bureaucrats.
The
revelation, according to the court papers, cost Chapman a shot at the
leadership of the military's newly created sexual assault response
centre.
The court documents also spell out how the defence
department altered and limited the financial and human resources powers
of the ombudsman while Walbourne was still in charge.
Robertson
said that, throughout his time serving two ombudsmen, he saw both
examples of extraordinary cooperation and closed-door bureaucratic
rebukes.
It is time for change, he said.
"To be an
effective ombudsman you are unlikely to win a popularity contest with
the organization you are overseeing," said Robertson.
"Each and
every (CAF) ombudsman since 1998 has strongly recommended that the
office should report directly to Parliament and should be
administratively de-coupled from DND as this gives the department de
facto control over financing, [human resources] and other elements that
can impact the day to day functioning of the office."
