Irving Wallboard offered special, secret rate to rejoin natural gas system
Liberty Utilities says other large customers are not eligible
How much lower is a secret.
Gilles Volpé, vice-president of Liberty Utilities, the operator of New Brunswick's gas distribution network, said in an interview a confidential rate for the Irving plant will help the company keep competitive information private. He said that's not uncommon in the natural gas industry.
"We know of at least several dozen other utilities in North America that have these special kinds of arrangements," said Volpé. "Actually, Heritage Gas (in Nova Scotia) has something similar."
In an application before the New Brunswick Energy and Utilities Board, Liberty is proposing to create what it calls a "large industrial contract service," or LICS, rate.
If approved, it will serve only Atlantic Wallboard Ltd., which also operates under the business name Irving Wallboard. It is a subsidiary of J.D. Irving.

Wallboard as a customer, even at a low rate, will help all natural gas
customers cover the cost of the distribution system. (CBC )
In its evidence, Liberty says it is satisfied the wallboard plant's "use of natural gas would be uneconomic" under any other pricing category Liberty offers its current customers.
Liberty has provided the EUB with documents showing what the proposed new rate will be and how much lower it is than what other customers pay but has asked for that information not to be made public.
"The documents contain proprietary financial and/or commercially sensitive information in relation to not only Liberty but also other potential customers of Liberty," Liberty lawyer Len Hoyt wrote in requesting secrecy.
J.D. Irving declined to comment on the proposal Monday, saying the application for a special rate for the wallboard plant belongs to Liberty.
According to the Energy and Utilities Board, any party can file a claim for confidentiality on documents filed with the body, although any other party may file an objection and ask for a ruling. No objections to confidentiality requested by Liberty have been filed in the current application.
Atlantic Wallboard was once the single largest customer on New Brunswick's public gas distribution system but left the network in 2015 in a dispute over pricing.
The wallboard plant began using compressed natural gas trucked to the plant instead after the New Brunswick government under former premier David Alward loosened rules to allow it.
Previously, customers of natural gas within reach of the distribution system had to use it, except for six large users with specific exemptions.

Enbridge Gas three years ago. (Liberty)
The Irving Oil refinery, three J.D. Irving pulp and paper mills and two natural gas generating stations in Saint John have had special exemptions from using the distribution system since gas arrived in New Brunswick in the late 1990s.
In its evidence, Liberty said it has been negotiating with Atlantic Wallboard since 2018 to lure it back as a customer and finalized a deal last June that now requires approval from the Energy and Utilities Board.
Irving has committed to bringing a minimum of 600,000 gigajoules of gas per year through Liberty's network to the wallboard plant in exchange for a preferential rate. That's nearly double the consumption of Liberty's next largest customer, and Volpé said recapturing that volume will help all gas consumers.
"It means extra revenues that will reduce the overall revenue requirement of the whole system having the effect of reducing rates for all other gas users on the system," he said.
Liberty currently has six rate categories. The largest customers, which include major provincial hospitals, universities and some manufacturing plants, currently pay the cheapest rates.
They are billed on average about $4 per gigajoule, not including the cost of the gas itself, to use the distribution system. Residential customers pay more than triple that amount for delivery.
One gigajoule of natural gas contains the energy equivalent of about 27 litres of furnace oil.
Liberty says it will not be offering the new low rate to any other customer unless it can match the volume of the wallboard plant and prove it has access to a cheap alternative supply of energy as well.
A full hearing into the proposal is scheduled for April.

Auditor general reproaches N.B. Power for financial barriers to energy efficiency
Report by Auditor General Paul Martin also questions high salaries for utility executives
"Moderate-income households may have difficulty accessing NB Power's energy efficiency programs, due to lack of financing mechanisms," Paul Martin says in a report tabled at the legislature Thursday.
It faults the Department of Natural Resources and Energy Development for not requiring N.B. Power to create a loan program when it folded energy efficiency programs into the utility in 2015.
"Low-income households are really being left out if they cannot obtain that funding mechanism to even consider these programs," Martin said while presenting his report to the legislature's public accounts committee.
New Brunswick is one of only two provinces with no financing mechanism in its energy-efficiency programs. Residents must spend the money up front and then get a rebate for part of the amount.
Martin said N.B. Power doesn't need to be the organization providing the loans as long as they're available somehow.
"Being one of only two province not doing it — there must be a way," Martin said. "Almost everybody else is doing it, so why is this an issue?"
Financing mechanisms "are a widely used and a cost-effective tool to make energy efficiency more accessible to moderate and low-income households," says the report, Martin's first since becoming auditor general on Jan. 1.
It quotes N.B. Power replying that it doesn't have the funds to provide loans because of its focus on debt reduction. The utility also pointed out that the federal government announced a major loan program for energy retrofits in its budget last year.
N.B. Power spokesperson Marc Belliveau said in an email the utility's low income energy savings program provides free energy efficient upgrades to eligible homeowners and 466 homes were retrofitted last year.
"N.B. Power is looking at options to expand this program," he said.
The audit says people who don't heat with electricity aren't using the energy-efficiency programs at the same level and that N.B.Power doesn't believe it has to fund them.
New Brunswick's auditor-general Paul Martin says N.B. Power
has the highest average salary among Crown agencies. (Submitted by
Office of the Auditor General)
It also says the department hasn't given N.B.Power any energy efficiency targets and hasn't provided enough oversight of the program.
Martin's report calls for "a plan" to address the issue.
The utility says as part of its response in that it will conduct a "barrier study" by June 2023 looking at other provinces to come up with recommendations "to increase participation" by low- and middle-income households.
"You're asking for a plan and implementation, and you're going to get a study," Liberal MLA René Legacy told Martin.
"We would always like to see our recommendations addressed faster, and as fast as possible," Martin answered.
Highest executive salary
The report also includes a chapter on salaries at provincial Crown agencies that highlights N.B. Power CEO Keith Cronkhite's $560,000 salary as the highest among any head of a provincial Crown agency.
The utility also has the highest average salary among Crown agencies and is the only one to offer a generous "executive retirement supplement" to everyone in the position of vice-president or higher, like the one availabe to deputy ministers.
For employees earning $100,000 a year or more, the utility's salaries also rise at a faster rate than civil servants working for government departments.
N.B. Power President Keith Cronkhite's salary of $560,000 is
the highest of any at a Crown corporation in New Brunswick. (Roger
Cosman/CBC News)
The report recommends the government set out what it means when it says salaries in Part IV of the government, Crown agencies, should be consistent.
"A lack of clear expectations from government increases the risk of government intentions not being carried out," the report says.
"In our view, government should clearly define what it expects of Part IV Crown agencies with regards to non-bargaining salary and benefits practices."
Martin acknowledges N.B. Power and other Crown corporations don't work directly for the government and each organization is allowed to set its own policies.
But the audit says the province provides "some direction" through memoranda of understanding it issues to the Crown agencies every three year.
Executive retirement benefits
While executive salaries at N.B. Power are higher than normal, the utility has less generous health and dental benefits and lower travel expense allowances than other parts of the provincial public sector.
The report also looks at the New Brunswick Financial and Consumer Services Commission, the Research and Productivity Council, Opportunities New Brunswick, the two regional health authorities and others.
But N.B. Power is the only one to offer the executive retirement benefit to senior officials.
If they work for five years or more, senior executives get a retirement supplement of one per cent of their annual salary for every year worked, up to 10 per cent.
For example, an N.B. Power executive with an average salary of $200,000 per year over 10 years would get an additional $20,000 a year during retirement.
That's on top of the regular provincial pension under the New Brunswick Public Service Pension Plan.
Belliveau pointed out the report acknowledges that the utility sector "is a complex one" and N.B. Power has to offer "a competitive compensation package" to attract qualified executives.
He said the retirement supplement is designed to make up for higher salaries and bonus programs that other utilities offer and that N.B. Power doesn't have.

Trudeau announces sanctions to punish Russia for its 'horrific' attack on Ukraine
Canada aims sanctions at Russian oligarchs, banks
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Thursday a new suite of "severe" sanctions against Russian entities after the country's president, Vladimir Putin, launched a series of unprovoked attacks on neighbouring Ukraine late last night.
The economic measures — which the government says were carefully coordinated with other G7 countries — are meant to hobble Russia's economy as its forces push further into Ukraine.
Trudeau called Russia's act of war "a massive threat to security and peace around the world."
To hit back, Trudeau said Canada will target 62 individuals and entities, including members of the Russian elite and their family members, the Russian paramilitary organization Wagner Group and major Russian banks.
Canada will also direct its financial firepower at members of the Russian Security Council, including the country's defence, finance and justice ministers.
Effective immediately, Canada will stop issuing export permits for Russia-bound products and cancel existing permits.
You can find the full list of individuals and organizations facing sanctions at this link.
WATCH: Trudeau announces more sanctions on Russia as the country launches invasion of Ukraine
Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly said hundreds of permits covering goods worth more than $700 million will be immediately cancelled — a blow to Russian companies that import valuable Canadian goods like aerospace parts, technology and minerals.
Trudeau announced a series of sanctions earlier this week after it became clear Putin was preparing for some sort of attack on Ukraine — a country that has sought to more closely align itself with Western countries and the European Union in recent years.
'Greatest threat to European stability' since Second World War
Canadians are barred from purchasing Russian sovereign debt and dealing with two state-backed Russian banks.
"These sanctions are wide-reaching. They will impose severe costs on complicit Russian elites, and they will limit President Putin's ability to continue funding this unjustified invasion," Trudeau said.
Trudeau said Putin's incursion is the "greatest threat to European stability since the Second World War." In the face of Russian aggression, the prime minister said, the Western world must strengthen its resolve to defend democratic principles that "generations of Canadians have fought to protect."
"These are deeply disturbing times for the international community and for people everywhere who care about freedom and democracy," Trudeau said. "Canada is unequivocal in our condemnation of Russia's unprovoked and unjustified attack on the sovereign, democratic state of Ukraine."

U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson also announced Thursday what he called "massive" sanctions against Russia, promising to cripple Russian access to foreign capital and target Putin-aligned oligarchs who have parked money in U.K. shell companies and London real estate.
U.S. President Joe Biden announced his own series of sanctions to tighten the screws on Russia's economy.
Biden is targeting four Russian banks that hold more than $1 trillion in assets, including the country's largest bank, Sberbank. Biden said "every asset" these banks hold in the U.S. will be frozen.
Thursday's measures did not target the Russian president personally but Biden said sanctioning Putin is "on the table."
Trudeau said the West's unity on sanctions should alarm Putin and those enabling his flagrant violation of international law.
Together, the G7 countries represent nearly half of the world's economy. Russia — once an economic powerhouse, now hobbled by kleptocracy and corruption — accounts for just 2 per cent of global wealth.
"We will respond forcefully to make sure Russia fails," Trudeau said.
WATCH: Bob Rae tells CBC's Power & Politics that Putin underestimates resistance to Russia's attack
Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said targeting oligarchs — the Russian business leaders who plundered a post-Soviet Russia of its wealth and resources — is the best way to put pressure on Putin. The Russian leader is close to these businessmen and many claim the oligarchs help Putin hide his considerable wealth offshore.
Freeland said these oligarchs — many of whom who live in major Western cities like London, Paris and New York — have "aided and abetted" Putin's atrocities while "enjoying all the pleasures of Western democracies."
"You're not going to be able to keep on doing that," Freeland said, directing her words at Russia's oligarchs. "You're not going to be able to be a high-roller, enjoying all the fantastic things that Western democracy has created while continuing to support Putin's evil and barbaric policies."
At least one foreign affairs expert said it's not enough for the government to simply freeze Russian assets in Canada — that a better move would be to seize the funds and use them to to help the people of Ukraine.
'Hit Putin where it hurts'
"That will really get Putin's attention. We need to hit him below the water line," said Fen Hampson, a professor of international affairs at Carleton University's Norman Paterson School of International Affairs.
"We're talking about hundreds of billions of dollars in foreign holdings — including some $250 billion of Putin's own money — that's sitting in bank accounts around the world. Obviously, some of those holdings are in Canada.
"Canada can play a key leadership role in saying, 'We're really going to hit Putin where it hurts."
To counter what she called an "illegal" and "unconscionable" attack on Ukraine, Defence Minister Anita Anand said the government has put 3,400 military personnel from all branches of the Canadian Armed Forces on standby. These troops could be deployed to the European continent to participate in the NATO Response Force, she said.
WATCH: Freeland says sanctions on Russia's oligarchs will have a 'real impact'
Anand said Canada is considering an expansion of its existing military mission, Operation Reassurance, which has put CAF troops in central and eastern Europe to carry out "assurance and deterrence measures" in NATO countries that border Russia.
Canada already has sent roughly $10 million in lethal and non-lethal aid to Ukraine, equipment that will help the military there fight back against Putin's troops. Canada also has provided financial assistance and loans in excess of $700 million to help stabilize a country now facing economic ruin.
"We cannot allow Putin to redraw maps and rewrite history to suit his own purposes," Anand said. "We must, and we will, stand up against these efforts to sow discord, deceit and violence."
Pretexts and 'false flags'
As part of the diplomatic pushback, Joly summoned Russia's ambassador to Canada, Oleg V. Stepanov, to a meeting at the Pearson Building in Ottawa on Thursday.
Joly's spokesperson told CBC News that the minister condemned "in the strongest possible terms" Russia's "egregious attack" on Ukraine in the closed-doors meeting.
Speaking to reporters Thursday, Joly said Russia has "lied" about its plans for Ukraine, pointing out that Moscow denied just days ago claims from U.S. sources that troops were poised to invade Ukraine.
She said Putin "fabricated" justifications for an invasion, citing his puzzling claim that the invasion is an attempt to "denazify" a country being led by President Volodymyr Zelensky — who is Jewish.
"Russia is solely responsible for this crisis. They have chose deception, intimidation and a manufactured crisis based on lies and false flag operations," Joly said.
"The Russian regime is challenging the world order that has kept us safe since the Second World War."
Canadians advised to 'shelter in place'
As Ukraine readies itself for a larger war, Trudeau said Canada is concerned about the safety of Canadian citizens and permanent residents still in the country. He said the government has arranged safe passage at the land borders with Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Moldova and is "urgently issuing travel documents" for all who need them.
But the most recent travel advice for Canadians in Ukraine warns that the government's ability to provide consular services in Ukraine could become "severely limited" and that Canadians should not rely on government help to leave the country.
"If you are in Ukraine, you should shelter in place unless it is safe for you to leave the country," the updated guidance said.
Those who choose to remain should "monitor trustworthy news sources to stay informed on the evolving situation" and follow instructions from local authorities, it said.

country soon after. (Sergei Supinsky/AFP/Getty Images)
Immigration officials are also prioritizing applications for Ukrainians who want to come to Canada.
Canada's response will be hindered by its limited diplomatic presence in Ukraine. The relocated Canadian embassy in Lviv has closed and its staff have fled Ukraine for neighbouring Poland.
Canada moved its embassy earlier this month from the capital, Kyiv, to Lviv in the western part of the country in anticipation of a Russian invasion.
Bob Rae, Canada's ambassador to the United Nations, called the attack "a grotesque war crime."
"Putin is the cause of all this. We cannot let him win," Rae said on Twitter. "C'mon people, stop pretending. War has started."
Rae went on to call Russia's invasion "brutal thuggery" and an "unprovoked" and "evil" action from a permanent member of the Security Council of the United Nations.

In a later interview with CBC Radio's The Current, Rae said Western countries will levy sanctions that will serve as a "direct assault on the power structure" in Russia — measures designed to make Putin and his allies pay a personal price.
Asked if sanctions alone will be enough to stop Putin, Rae said crippling sanctions forced South Africa to repeal its apartheid system and a "strong, universally applied" regime might have the same effect on Russia.
Rae said the West must present a united front in the face of Putin's aggression. "The attack in Ukraine is an attack on democracy. Putin clearly wants to make the world safe for autocracy. That's what this is all about."
Anxiety in Ukrainian-Canadian community
Eugene Lupynis, a Ukrainian-Canadian living in Vancouver and a member of Metro Vancouver's Ukrainian Community Society Of Ivan Franko, said news of the invasion has filled him with dread.
"We've been watching this build not just for weeks but for years," he said. "When Russia invaded Crimea and Eastern Ukraine back in 2014, there was always a feeling something would happen, but we were praying it wouldn't."
Lupynis' immediate family moved to B.C. in the 1950s but he has many relatives living in western Ukraine. He said the invasion "boggles the mind" and that everyone needs to be afraid of what Putin might do next.
"The West has always underestimated what Putin could, and would, do — he's rewriting history in his own pen and trying to get the world to believe it," he said.
The Alberta Provincial Council of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress issued a statement saying more than 330,000 people in Alberta claim Ukrainian ancestry. It called on Albertans to support Ukraine "militarily, politically, economically and financially."
The premiers react
Alberta Premier Jason Kenney called the invasion "devastating" and urged the West to put an embargo on Russian oil and gas.
"Weakness invites aggression," he said.
"The democratic world must be united in standing with Ukraine. That should begin with a hard global embargo of all Russian oil and gas exports."
While Trudeau did not announce any direct action against Russian oil exports Thursday, the prime minister said Canada and its allies are working on "alternatives" to Russian fossil fuel sources for Europe.
"We want to make sure Putin no longer draw sustenance for his economy from selling those products around the world," Trudeau said.

"It's hard to imagine how difficult watching the news must be for so many Manitobans who have loved ones in Ukraine," she wrote.
Quebec Premier François Legault said his province will do its part by welcoming Ukrainian refugees in the weeks to come and offering humanitarian aid.
Putin says goal is a 'demilitarization' of Ukraine
Putin warned other countries Wednesday that any attempt to interfere with Russian military action would lead to "consequences they have never seen."
He said the attack was needed to protect civilians in eastern Ukraine — a claim the U.S. had predicted he would falsely make to justify an invasion.
In a televised address, Putin accused the U.S. and its allies of ignoring Russia's demand for security guarantees from the West and that Ukraine be prevented from joining NATO. He said Russia's goal is not to occupy Ukraine.
As Putin spoke, big explosions were heard in Kyiv, Kharkiv and other areas of Ukraine.
A full-blown Russian invasion could cause massive casualties and topple Ukraine's democratically elected government. And the consequences of the conflict and resulting sanctions levied on Russia could reverberate throughout the world, affecting energy supplies in Europe, jolting global financial markets and threatening the post-Cold War balance on the continent.
Putin said the Russian military operation aims to ensure a "demilitarization" of Ukraine. He urged Ukrainian servicemen to "immediately put down arms and go home."
Putin announced the military operation after the Kremlin said separatists in Eastern Ukraine asked Russia for military assistance to help fend off Ukrainian "aggression." The announcement immediately fuelled fears that Moscow was offering up a pretext for war, just as the West had warned.
A short time later, the Ukrainian president rejected Moscow's claims that his country poses a threat to Russia and said a Russian invasion would cost tens of thousands of lives.
"The people of Ukraine and the government of Ukraine want peace," President Zelensky said in an emotional overnight address, speaking in Russian in a direct appeal to Russian citizens. "But if we come under attack, if we face an attempt to take away our country, our freedom, our lives and the lives of our children, we will defend ourselves.
"When you attack us, you will see our faces, not our backs."
Zelensky said he asked to arrange a call with Putin late Wednesday, but the Kremlin did not respond.
In an apparent reference to Putin's move to authorize the deployment of the Russian military to "maintain peace" in eastern Ukraine, Zelensky warned that "this step could mark the start of a big war on the European continent."
"Any provocation, any spark could trigger a blaze that will destroy everything," he said.

> Prosecutors in Joyce case earn rebuke from legal community

>
> BOSTON — Federal prosecutors seeking to disqualify an attorney for
> former state Sen. Brian Joyce from his upcoming corruption trial have
> earned a rebuke from dozens of lawyers and several legal organizations
> who accuse them of trying to to broaden their ability to have
> defendants’ lawyers removed.
>
> Prosecutors had argued that attorney Howard M. Cooper, founding
> partner at Todd & Weld in Boston, should be stripped from Joyce’s
> defense team at trial because Cooper has unwittingly helped Joyce
> cover up some of his corrupt activities by submitting false statements
> to the state Ethics Commission, making Cooper a potential witness to
> Joyce’s crimes. But in an amicus brief submitted earlier this week, a
> collection of lawyers and legal organizations argue that such thinking
> would erode defendants’ Sixth Amendment right to their chosen counsel
> and interfere with attorneys’ ability to represent their clients while
> criminal charges are pending.
>
> “Granting the present motion would threaten ethical and effective
> advocacy by counsel in numerous other cases,” the brief reads. “It
> would encourage the government to seek to disqualify counsel more
> frequently in any of the array of circumstances in which defense
> counsel may advocate on a client’s behalf and might present what the
> government may later claim to be inaccurate information.”
>
> The battle over the future of Joyce’s legal representation comes as
> the former Milton Democrat faces a 113-count indictment accusing him
> of turning his Beacon Hill office into a money-making venture where he
> traded legislation and political influence for more than $1 million in
> kickbacks, hundreds of pounds of free coffee and a 2014 Jeep. He was
> arrested on the charges this past December and released on $250,000
> bond.
>
> A little more than a month after Joyce’s arrest, federal prosecutors
> indicated that they would seek to disqualify Cooper from representing
> Joyce at trial and could call him to testify about several statements
> he made to the ethics commission on Joyce’s behalf. Some of those
> statements had addressed the commission’s questions about whether the
> senator had received free Dunkin’ Donuts coffee in exchange for
> pushing favorable legislation, whether he’d filed legislation without
> disclosing that it would benefit a client, and whether he’d appeared
> before a state commission while concealing his financial investment in
> the company.
>
> Prosecutors have not suggested that Cooper was aware that the
> statements were false, but said that Joyce had nonetheless “entangled
> Attorney Cooper in the cover-up.” In a motion filed in late February,
> prosecutors argued that Joyce had used Cooper’s statements to further
> his crimes, making communications between the two exempt from
> attorney-client privilege.
>
> In response, Joyce accused prosecutors of trying to disqualify his
> attorney by making him into a witness even through they hadn’t shown
> any need for Cooper’s testimony. Joyce said he would even stipulate
> that he himself had prepared and reviewed the statements that
> prosecutors say were false.
>
> Joyce, who is a lawyer, also argued Cooper had only submitted the
> statements to defend Joyce against allegations of wrongdoing and had
> not been involved in setting up the corrupt deals Joyce is accused of
> making. Joyce hired Cooper and his firm, Todd & Weld, in March 2015
> after Boston Globe reporters began asking Joyce’s office questions.
>
> Joyce said disqualifying Cooper would violated his Sixth Amendment
> right to choose his legal counsel and force him to find a new attorney
> following the loss of his job, the end of his practice and “the
> exhaustion of his resources.”
>
> “Now the government takes aim at the one attorney who has represented
> him throughout, in whom he reposes the greatest trust and confidence,
> and ask the Court to require him to start over with new counsel he
> does not want and cannot afford,” attorneys for Joyce and Cooper said
> in a motion filed on their behalf. “This would be a cruel, unfair and
> clearly unconstitutional blow.”
>
> The Boston legal community apparently agrees. In a motion filed
> Monday, a group including the Massachusetts Bar Association, the
> Massachusetts Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the American
> Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts and 71 individual attorneys
> argued that the prosecutors’ request had “far-reaching and troubling
> Sixth Amendment implications,” potentially opening the door for
> prosecutors to have defense attorneys removed from a case by claiming
> that they had previously presented inaccurate information on their
> client’s behalf. The Boston Bar Association is seeking to file a
> separate amicus brief.
>
> “We believe the government’s motion threatens the constitutionally
> protected right of a lawyer to present a client’s defense to courts
> and to government agencies,” Jon Albano, president-elect of the Boston
> Bar Association, said in a statement. “A lawyer should not be
> disqualified for presenting a client’s side of a case when there is no
> evidence that the lawyer knew the client was not telling the truth.”

>> (Delivered orally from the Bench in Fredericton, New Brunswick, on

>> 12, 2015, in which Prothonotary Morneau struck the Statement of Claim

>> At the outset of the hearing, the Plaintiff brought to my attention a

>> capacity as Past President of the New Brunswick Branch of the Canadian
>> Bar Association, and the then President of the Branch, Kathleen Quigg,

>>
>> As for your past President, Mr. Bell, may I suggest that you check the

>> You are your brother’s keeper.
>>
>> Frank McKenna is the former Premier of New Brunswick and a former

>> 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

>> 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
