🔴LIVE PUBLIC ORDER EMERGENCY COMISSION INQUIRY Day 9 - October 25, 2022
'Quite troubled': MPs demand explanation from OPP over 'wildly different' statements on Freedom Convoy
OPP commissioner told a Commons committee last spring that the intelligence unit had identified the protest as a 'threat to national security'
OPP Commissioner Thomas Carrique is expected to testify before the Public Order Emergency Commission. Photo by Ashley Fraser/Postmedia/File OTTAWA — MPs unanimously voted to demand answers from the Ontario Provincial Police on its “wildly different” testimony about the security threat posed by the Freedom Convoy protests.
In a rare show of parliamentary unity, members of all parties on the Commons public safety and national security committee approved a motion requiring an “immediate response” from the OPP regarding an apparent “contradiction” between what its commissioner told the committee in March about the protests and what its head of intelligence said to the Emergencies Act inquiry last week.
The motion was brought by NDP MP Alistair MacGregor, who told his colleagues he was “quite troubled” by seemingly conflicting statements first reported by the National Post last week.

During a March 24 committee meeting, OPP commissioner Thomas Carrique declared twice that the service’s intelligence unit, the Provincial Operational Intelligence Bureau (POIB), identified the Freedom Convoy as a “threat to national security” on Feb. 7.
He said his force was able to use the “tools” contained in the federal Emergencies Act after the Trudeau government invoked it on Feb. 14 to shut down the weeks-long protest on Parliament Hill and at the border and address the national security “threat.”
But testimony and documents from the head of the POIB made public last week at the Public Order Emergency Commission appear to directly contradict Carrique’s statements.

The commission is tasked with determining whether the Trudeau government met the legal threshold to invoke the exceptional powers contained in the Emergencies Act.
POIB leader Supt. Pat Morris told the commission his team never received “credible” information that the Freedom Convoy posed a direct threat to national security.
Other intelligence partners, such as the Canadian Security Intelligence Service and the RCMP’s Integrated National Security Enforcement Teams, never shared any either.
On the day Carrique told the committee that the OPP had determined the Freedom Convoy across Canada became a “threat to national security,” a POIB report noted for the first time that the protests had the “potential” to become such a threat.
But Morris told the commission the Freedom Convoy would have only become a real threat to national security if a series of hypothetical events occurred across Canada. They never did.
An email from Morris to his staff on Feb. 7 tabled at the commission also reveals that CSIS and INSET did not share POIB’s view that the protests had even hit the threshold of “potential” national security threat at that point.
The OPP declined to comment on the discrepancies last week but noted Carrique is expected to testify at the Emergencies Act inquiry in the coming weeks.
MacGregor’s motion also forces the OPP to provide a written response to the public safety and national security committee about Carrique’s testimony.
“I’m quite troubled that the very same police force is giving one answer to the Public Order commission, but a completely different answer earlier in the year to a committee of the House of Commons,” MacGregor told his committee colleagues on Monday.
“Mr. Chair, this committee has to empower you to seek clarification on why those two wildly different testimonies were given,” he added to committee chair Ron McKinnon.
OPP saw no evidence Freedom Convoy posed direct threat to national security: intelligence officer
During cross-examinations by different parties’ lawyers, Supt. Pat Morris also agreed with the assertion that intelligence he saw never pointed to extremism

Photo by Sean Kilpatrick/The Canadian Press OTTAWA – The Ontario Provincial Police intelligence unit never found evidence demonstrating that the Freedom Convoy posed a direct threat to national security before the unprecedented use of the Emergencies Act was invoked by the federal government.
The head of the OPP’s Provincial Operations Intelligence Bureau (POIB) Superintendent Pat Morris testified in front of the Public Order Emergency Commission (POEC) that at no point during the protests did he receive reliable intelligence that led to believe there was a risk that would rise to the level of a potential threat to national security.
During cross-examinations by different parties’ lawyers, he also agreed with the assertion that intelligence he saw never pointed to extremism.
“Everybody was asking about extremism. We weren’t seeing much evidence of it,” Morris said.
As the convoy settled in to Ottawa, so-called “Project Hendon” reports, shared with other police forces (named after an ongoing surveillance operation) started warning that the protest posed a real potential “public safety and officer safety threat.” But those concerns were always about a spontaneous event or actions from a “lone wolf.”
Midway through the protests, POIB noted that they had “not identified any concrete, specific, or credible threat with regard to the Freedom Convoy protest” or similar events.
“However, the situation remains potentially volatile. The possibility that a lone actor or group of individuals could enact a threat with little or no warning cannot be excluded.”
The Emergencies Act, which was invoked on Feb. 14, can only be used in a national emergency when a situation “seriously threatens the ability of the Government of Canada to preserve the sovereignty, security and territorial integrity of Canada” and cannot be dealt with any other law in the country.
The commission is set to verify if that was indeed the case.

Ottawa police plagued by infighting and an insurrection against chief during protests, inquiry hears

CSIS worried Freedom Convoy protests were a 'recruiting ground' for violent criminals
Morris said during his testimony on Wednesday that OPP “found no credible intelligence of threats” in terms of producing intelligence and even said that “the lack of violent crime was shocking” in Ottawa with only a few charges laid for violent crimes, most of them against police officers.
Morris also said he found it “problematic” to hear certain unidentified politicians and members of the media claim the protests were being influenced by Russian or American sources or even former President Donald Trump when he never saw proof of that.
He confirmed that the OPP had warned Ottawa police well before the Freedom Convoy arrived that protesters would stay “long-term”, contradicting alleged statements by Ottawa Police Service (OPS) chief Peter Sloly saying he had no intelligence warning him the protest could extend past one weekend.
Since the beginning of the week, multiple top city officials reported to the commission that Sloly was certain that most, if not all, protesters would be gone after the weekend of Jan. 29.
“Chief Sloly was telling me things like, you know, ‘We’re not getting any messages from intelligence agencies that it’s anything other than protests. We expect them to be gone on Monday’. That’s the message I was getting,” city councillor and former head of the Ottawa police services board told the commission Wednesday morning.
Earlier this week, Ottawa City Manager Steve Kanellakos said Sloly expected the last of protesters to be out of the city by Wednesday Feb. 2 at the latest. He said the city prepared for the protests based on that OPS assessment.
Sloly is expected to testify in front of the commission in the coming weeks.
But Morris says POIB began specifically monitoring the Freedom Convoy on Jan 13, 2022, in “Hendon” intelligence reports, which were distributed to dozens of police partners including the OPS since 2021. Morris later confirmed that Sloly personally received Hendon reports as well.

In a Jan. 20 Hendon report, POIB first started warning that the convoy protesters had “no exit strategy for departing Ottawa” and that they intended to stay in the city until their demands that all COVID-19 public health restrictions be lifted were met.
“There was no exit strategy, but there were extensive demands being placed. And the fact that we felt those demands could not be met meant that they, meaning the protesters, would be there for a long period of time,” Morris explained.
Asked by commission counsel to clarify what he meant by a long period of time, the head of POIB stated multiple weeks or even a month.
Morris said POIB quickly assessed that the Freedom Convoy movement was unlike other protests because the participants had “multiple frustrations” that had percolated for 18 months since the beginning of the pandemic. For example, vaccine mandates for truckers, vaccine passports and concerns about “pediatric vaccines”.
“These were all factors that … impacted their motivation and increased their frustration and we believed that they would follow through on what they were saying they would do,” Morris said about protesters desire to stay in Ottawa until mandates were lifted.
Another factor Morris said contributed to the belief the protests would last “long-term” was the convoy’s funding.
Morris said OPP took great interest in the “unprecedented” growth in crowdfunding in support for the convoy participants.
He said that OPP was also looking into how the funds would be utilized. The force knew it would be used for gas and logistics among other things, but expressed concern it would fuel support for the convoy and add to its duration.
“We didn’t know all the factors but the biggest takeaway from the money was the degree of support and the means that that would be in possession to make it more long term even for things such as accommodations,” he said.

OTTAWA — The OPP commissioner told MPs in March that force intelligence concluded the Freedom Convoy posed a “threat to national security.” His own head of intelligence told a public inquiry otherwise Wednesday.
Documents tabled at the public inquiry investigating the federal government’s use of the Emergencies Act also appear to contradict information provided by acting Ottawa Police Service chief Steve Bell to MPs regarding firearm-related charges against Freedom Convoy participants.
On March 24, Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) commissioner Thomas Carrique declared to members of the federal security committee that the service’s intelligence unit, the Provincial Operational Intelligence Bureau (POIB), identified the Freedom Convoy occupying Ottawa last winter as a “threat to national security” on Feb. 7.
“This was identified as a threat to national security, and we were able to utilize a number of the powers in the Emergencies Act,” Carrique told MPs when asked if he supported the federal government’s controversial use of the exceptional act to end the protests on Feb. 14.
But the head of the OPP’S POIB, Supt. Pat Morris, appeared to directly contradict his boss’ assertion to MPs during testimony in front of the Public Order Emergency Commission (POEC) this week.
He repeatedly told counsel that his bureau never received “credible” information that the Freedom Convoy posed a direct threat to national security, nor did he receive any from intelligence partners Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) or the RCMP’s Integrated National Security Enforcement Teams (INSET).
The closest it ever got to that was in a Feb. 7 report in which it warned of the “potential” for the protest to become a national security threat if a series of hypothetical events occurred throughout the country. He said none of those events came to fruition, so the potential threat never materialized.

OPP saw no evidence Freedom Convoy posed direct threat to national security: intelligence officer
But he admitted that CSIS and INSET did not share the view at the time that the Freedom Convoy posed even a potential national security threat. “INSET and CSIS concur that there are no national security concerns. Confirmed today,” Morris wrote to colleagues on Feb. 7.
The apparent discrepancy is important considering the commission’s mission to establish if the federal government was justified in invoking the Emergencies Act on Feb. 14 to deal with the Ottawa protests.
The Emergencies Act can only be used in a national emergency when a situation “seriously threatens the ability of the Government of Canada to preserve the sovereignty, security and territorial integrity of Canada” and cannot be dealt with by any other law in the country.
An OPP spokesperson declined to comment. Carrique is expected to testify as soon as next week.
Asked about the different OPP statements, NDP MP Alistair MacGregor said there are clear contradictions between the OPP’s testimony in the spring and this week that need to addressed.
“New Democrats are calling for an immediate response from the OPP regarding their testimony before committee and will submit a formal request through the committee. We will keep working to get to the bottom of this contradiction to their testimony on the security threat of the illegal occupation and continue pushing the Liberals to be transparent with Canadians,” MacGregor said.
Acting OPS chief Steve Bell is also likely to be questioned by commission participants about a statement he made to the same March 24 federal security committee meeting that is seemingly contradicted by his own organization’s data.
At the time, Conservative committee member Dane Lloyd asked Bell if police had found firearms amongst protesters camped out in front of the Parliament buildings in Ottawa, citing a news report quoting police sources saying officers had found a loaded shotgun in a vehicle.
Bell stated that the force had received intelligence “around possession of weapons” by convoy participants or supporters, but that “at no point did we lay any firearms-related charges.”
“Yet there are investigations that continue in relation to weapons possessions at the occupation,” he added.
But a document produced and tabled by OPS to the commission states that police laid two apparently firearms-related charges tied to the Freedom Convoy on Feb. 11, days before the Emergencies Act was invoked and well over one month before Bell’s appearance in front of the committee.
The first charge is listed in the document as “Possess Restricted or Prohibited Firearm without holding a Licence and Registration Certificate” and the second as “Possess Firearm, etc. while Prohibited Sec 117.01 CC.”
The document does not say if the charges were laid against different individuals or a single person.
An OPS spokesperson declined to comment while the commission is ongoing. Bell is slated to testify on Monday.
The document reveals OPS laid 533 separate criminal charges against 140 individuals tied to the Freedom Convoy between Jan. 28 and March 31.
Most of those charges were for mischief, obstruction or resisting arrest. But at least 21 were related to assault, 87 were for disobeying a court order and one person was charged for attempting to take a weapon from a police officer.

Emergencies Act was just 'helpful' in ending convoy protest: acting Ottawa police chief
'We had a plan. We were going to execute a plan,' Interim chief Steve Bell told the Public Order Emergency Commission
OTTAWA – Hours before the federal government invoked the Emergencies Act, RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki said in an email that “all available tools” had not yet been exhausted in ending the Freedom Convoy in Ottawa.
“I am of the view that we have not yet exhausted all available tools that are already available through the existing legislation. There are instances where charges could be laid under existing authorities for various Criminal Code offences occurring right now in the context of the protest,” wrote Lucki.
“The Ontario Provincial Emergencies Act just enacted will also help in providing additional deterrent tools to our existing toolbox,” she added.
Later that day, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau confirmed in a press conference he would be invoking the Emergencies Act for the first time in Canada’s history. He said at the time there were “serious challenges to law enforcement’s ability to effectively enforce the law.”
Interim Ottawa police chief Steve Bell was the key witness during the POEC on Monday and was asked to comment on Lucki’s comments by Brendan Miller, a lawyer representing the convoy leaders.
“I believe it’s a perspective, for sure,” said Bell.
The interim chief added that the provisions under the Emergency Act helped Ottawa Police Service (OPS) put “a very stable platform, a stable environment” around the execution of the police’s plan. He added later that the act was “helpful” in ending the protests, but did not say it was necessary.
“We had a plan. We were going to execute a plan,” said Bell.

'Exhausted' and in disarray, Ottawa police struggled to create a plan for the 'occupation'
Bell’s testimony came after retired Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officer, Carson Pardy, testified last week that while the emergency powers helped the police, he did not think they were necessary to help clear the protesters who were occupying the streets for weeks last winter.
The POEC is tasked with establishing if the federal government was legally justified in invoking the exceptional powers of the law.
Bell said that those powers benefitted the police forces in a few key areas.
They allowed to “streamline” the swearing-in of police members coming from other provinces, helped compel some tow truck companies in removing the vehicles in the street and provided a clear legislative framework for frontline officers on what they could do and how to execute their powers.
Bell’s testimony also provided more details as to how Ottawa’s police force was in disarray and plagued by internal conflicts with its former chief, Peter Sloly.
Bell told the Public Order Emergency Commission Monday (POEC) that throughout the “occupation”, the OPS and Sloly had significant communications issues, namely because they were promising enforcement action to distraught Ottawa residents that the force was utterly unable to follow through with.
A summary of Bell’s interview with commission lawyers this summer lists a series of statements from Sloly and the OPS that “caused trust issues.”
For example, when it became clear the protesters were increasingly entrenched in downtown Ottawa streets, OPS announced they would cut off the convoy’s access to gasoline, which was necessary for them to run the vehicles they were sleeping in.
But Bell said that was something OPS would never be able to do from the start. “This should not have been announced. This was very damaging,” reads a summary of Bell’s statement to POEC.
Another time, Sloly announced that OPS would “flood neighbourhoods” with police officers who would be able to respond to Freedom Convoy incidents in a “surge and contain” strategy.
A great idea in theory, Bell said, but impossible in reality. “The flood of officers into areas affected by convoy participants that Chief Sloly announced never materialized,” the document reads.
During a Feb. 4 press conference, Sloly announced police were considering shutting down highway off-ramps and interprovincial bridges to block new protesters from joining the “siege”, Bell said.
That encountered one major issue: OPS had virtually no power to do so, as both are under Ontario Provincial Police jurisdiction and OPS had not consulted them yet.
“Interim Chief Bell characterized the contemplated closure of off-ramps and bridges as an example of OPS making announcements that it could not deliver on,” read the documents.
Sloly is slated to testify at the commission by the end of the week.
Bell’s testimony also reveals profound discomfort within some members of OPS top brass about the involvement of crisis communication firm Navigator in police strategies after they were hired by Sloly midway through the protests.
On Feb. 11, Bell said Navigator participated in a meeting with Sloly and acting deputy chief Patricia Ferguson to brainstorm ideas for police operations against the convoy.
The next day, Navigator principal Jamie Watt entered Bell’s office and questioned the OPS’ decision not to act against protesters removing fencing at the National War Memorial. Watt’s is recorded as telling Bell the OPS should “take a more active approach.”
The document notes Bell found Watt’s comments on police operational decisions as “inappropriate” and that he worried Navigator’s communication strategy around the protests threatened to “drive police operations.” He also had privacy concerns about sharing operations details with Navigator.
When Sloly resigned and was replaced with Bell, the new chief quickly ended the contract with Navigator because he did not find they provided “effective” help putting an end to the occupation.
In his testimony, Bell reiterated that, in his view, there was “nothing” to identify that the convoy participants would stay longer than the first weekend even though intelligence reports from his own police force as well as the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) do indicate that that could be the case.
Bell told the commission that he was made aware of the first “Project Hendon” intelligence report only on Jan. 27, thus missing out on crucial information in previous reports.
Pat Morris, from the OPP’s operations intelligence unit, pointed last week to the Jan. 20 Hendon report mentioned convoy protesters had “no exit strategy” for departing Ottawa. And since their demands that all COVID-19 restrictions be lifted would not be met, they would be there for a long period of time.
However, OPS Intelligence Assessment from Jan. 29 do also point to the possibility of a longer protest. Author Sgt. Chris Kiez described a “powerful manifestation of deep discontent” and warned that it could “slumber for a very long while.”
“Convoy members appear to be stocking up on food and supplies which could indicate that they have long term plans to stay in Ottawa,” Kiez warned.
His assessment also noted that the federal government was “strenuously ignoring the event” as it headed to Ottawa. It noted that similar strategies had adverse effects on large, “grassroots” protests such as the convoy.
“Refusal of a leader to meet or address the reality of a popular uprising has, historically, led to situations becoming unmanageable,” Kiez wrote.
Bell said the OPS was “inundated” with information in the days preceding the arrival of the Freedom Convoy and said he was trying to ensure that it was funneled to the right areas in order to be properly assessed. He described a “difficult” period “because of how fluid and dynamic the situation was.”
“It was a roller coaster that week in terms of information coming out and refining down,” he said.
The commission’s counsel, Frank Au, asked him if it would have made sense to imply that the convoy participants would stay longer than a weekend in Ottawa, given that thousands of them had driven across the country for more than a week in order to protest vaccine mandates.
“I think that’s an inference we would now make,” said Bell.

FREDERICTON - The New Brunswick government has launched a lawsuit
against an accounting firm in an effort to recover $50 million
provided as loan guarantees to the Miramichi-based Atcon group of
companies.
The lawsuit filed with the Court of Queen's Bench in Saint John
alleges that Grant Thornton was in breach of its duties to the
province in an inspection of the financial books of the Atcon group of
companies.
The former Liberal government of then premier Shawn Graham provided
the loan guarantees to the companies in 2009.
The statement of claim alleges the government approved the loan
guarantees as a result of financial reports from Grant Thornton.
"But for the Grant Thornton opinions and representations, the province
would not have sustained a loss in excess of $50 million," the
document asserts.
It says the accounting firm "failed to exercise the care, diligence,
and skill of an auditor of reasonable competence and prudence."
None of the allegations contained in the statement of claim have been
proven in court.
Atcon, based in Miramichi, went bankrupt in April 2010.
Grant Thornton LLP, Grant Thornton International and a chartered
accountant who works for the company are named as the defendants. They
have not filed a statement of defence and the accountant named in the
statement of claim could not be reached for comment.
Norm Raynard, managing partner in New Brunswick for Grant Thornton,
said in an emailed statement that the company would not offer specific
comments on the lawsuit because they are still reviewing the court
documents.
"We will vigorously defend ourselves against this action," he wrote.
"Our initial reaction is that this timing has much to do with the
political calendar in the province."
The next provincial election is set for Sept. 22.
Attorney General Hugh Flemming said the timing is not political.
"This is not a time schedule which in any way was influenced by the
government and it is not a political issue," he said Tuesday.
He said the government had no choice but to take the matter to court
because of the $50 million that was spent.
"The government owes a duty to the people of New Brunswick to do what
they can to recover this," Flemming said.

'Strong suspects' but no charges in Highway of Tears cases: RCMP
VANCOUVER - The Mountie overseeing the investigation into the murders
and disappearances of women and girls along British Columbia's
so-called Highway of Tears says his officers have a number of "strong
suspects," but they have yet to uncover enough evidence to lay charges
nearly two years after the last major break in the case.
Staff-Sgt. Wayne Clary leads project E-PANA, which has spent years
investigating the deaths and disappearances of 18 women and girls
along three highways in the province's north.
Roughly 60 officers were assigned to the case at the height of the
investigation, though Clary said that number has dropped to between 12
and 15, who spend most of their time on the project. Still, he said
E-PANA is very much an active investigation.
"It has scaled down, because we've pounded through a lot of work, but
there's still enough work in front of us to keep going," Clary told
The Canadian Press.
"There's more than one investigation where we have strong suspects or
persons of interest, and we're clearly focusing on those. ... I'd like
nothing more than to sit down with the families and say, 'We've got
the guy."'
Clary declined to offer details about how many suspects the RCMP have
identified or in which specific cases, though he said the suspects
they have in mind are located in Canada.
The last significant development came in September 2012, when
investigators said they believed a dead American convict named Bobby
Jack Fowler was responsible for killing as many as three of the women.
The RCMP said investigators had uncovered DNA evidence linking Fowler,
who died in an Oregon prison in 2006, to Colleen MacMillen, who was
murdered in 1974. They also said they believed Fowler may have been
involved in the deaths of Gale Weys and Pamela Darlington, both 19,
who were killed in the mid-1970s.
Clary said the force doesn't have the same kind of direct evidence
tying Fowler to Weys and Darlington, but he added: "Personally, I
think it's him in the other two."
Clary said E-PANA hasn't come up with evidence to suggest any of the
other women and girls were linked together, meaning there could be 15
different suspects for the 15 remaining cases.
"If we have a strong suspect, absolutely we're looking for crossed
lines, but right now we're not seeing that," he said.
E-PANA was launched in 2005 amid growing concern about the number of
women and girls who vanished or were found dead along highways in the
province's north. It also came several years after serial killer
Robert Pickton was arrested in the Vancouver area - a case that Clary
worked on as part of Project Evenhanded.
The Highway of Tears often refers to a remote stretch of Highway 16
between Prince Rupert and Prince George, but E-PANA also includes
cases along the adjacent Highways 97 and 5.
Investigators identified 18 women and girls who were involved in
hitchhiking or other high-risk behaviour and were last seen within a
couple of kilometres of those highways. The final list included cases
between 1969 and 2006.
Investigators once held annual group meetings, but Clary said they now
contact each family individually, either in person or by telephone.

City bids adieu to RCMP Supt. Eric Stubbs
Posted On 26 Jun 2014By : Staff ReporterComment: 0Tag: RCMP
Firepit manager Robert Ryan, left, elders Violet Bozoki and Tom Reece
and executive director Vanessa West presemted RCMP Supt. Eric Stubbs
with some gifts before he leaves for a new posting in Ottawa at the
end of the month. Stubbs and Ryan both spoke of the steps which have
been taken to bring the First Nations community and the RCMP in Prince
George closer. The gifts were made by patrons of the Firepit, and Ryan
told Stubbs, “You’re taking a part of us with you.” Allan WISHART/Free
Press
After three years as the top cop in Prince George and a combined 14
years in Northern BC, Superintendent Eric Stubbs is leaving Prince
George and province.
Friday June 27, marks the final day Superintendent Stubbs will be in
charge of the RCMP’s Municipal Detachment in Prince George, a position
he held since arriving in June 2011. During his time here,
Superintendent Stubbs has reduced crime in nearly every category,
created a unit dedicated to combating domestic violence, and was a
catalyst in the transformation of the Community Policing Section to a
new model with focuses on youth and enforcement. Of course, he was
also the detachment commander leading up to, during and following the
move to the new City of Prince George Municipal Detachment.
“I would like to thank Superintendent Stubbs for his excellent service
to Prince George and northern B.C.,” said Mayor Shari Green of Prince
George, in a press release. “Among the many achievements on his watch,
I’d like to point out his dedication to reducing domestic violence,
the continued support of the Downtown Enforcement Unit, and his
essential role in the Mayor’s Task Force on Crime. I wish
Superintendent Stubbs every success in this next exciting phase of his
service to Canadians.”
Stubbs will be taking on a new role as National Criminal Operations
Officer in Ottawa; a role that comes with a promotion to Chief
Superintendent.
Superintendent Stubbs has provided a tremendous service to the
citizens of northern BC through his work in four communities over 14
years said Supt. Lesley Bain, acting officer in charge of the RCMP in
northern B.C. He has had a significant impact in each community he has
policed, none more than Prince George. He will be greatly missed and
we wish him the best in his new role in Ottawa.
Inspector Brad Anderson, the Detachment’s Operations officer, will
take over command of the detachment until such time that a successor
is named.
On behalf of the members, staff and volunteers of the Prince George
RCMP, I want to extend a thank you to Eric for his leadership over the
past three years said Anderson. It has been a pleasure working for him
in such a positive environment.

Mr. Amos,
thank you for your phone message and several email messages. As the
Director of Values and Ethics in the departments of Foreign Affairs
Canada and International Trade Canada, my current mandate applies only
to internal management issues. For example, establishing a code of
conduct for our employees as well as providing advice to staff on
conflict of interest and conflict resolution.
As such I don't think I could be in a position to assist you. Please
remove my name from your distribution list.
Thanks in advance

The crook Paul Robichaud spewed Pure Double talking Bullshit today
"Robichaud told reporters on Thursday that suing Grant Thornton, the
company that audited Atcon’s financial records, could be considered
but he said the province is unlikely to follow that specific option.
“[A lawsuit] is something that we could consider, but I already said
in the past it is not an option that we are going to look at this
point. But we are looking at every option at this point,” Robichaud
said."

The RCMP, Rick Hancox,Bruce Lewis of Fat Fred City and his bosses in
Upper Canada should at least recall what I explained to them on the
phone in 2006 before you nasty bastards sent all the cops against me.
CORRECT???

http://qslspolitics.blogspot.
My concerns about the severe lack of INTEGRITY of Grant Thornton and
KPMG obviously had to do with their fraudulent auditing of the
Brookline Bancorp etc (Putnam Investments is now owned by Power Corp
BTW) while many Yankees, the USDOJ and the US Treasury Dept attacked
my family and I in order to cover up their many wrongs. Meanwhile the
cops and politicians in my nativeland did everything in ther power to
assist in the many wrongs for nearly 11 years and counting. N'esy Pas?

Canadian Securities Regulators Publish Discussion Paper on Mutual Fund Fees
Toronto – The Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) today published
for comment CSA Discussion Paper 81-407 Mutual Fund Fees, which
examines the mutual fund fee structure in Canada and identifies
potential investor protection issues arising from that structure. The
Discussion Paper sets out various topics for discussion in order to
evaluate the appropriate structure for Canada.
Canada’s mutual fund fees have been the subject of much debate in
recent years. Some research studies examining Canada’s mutual fund
fees, along with international reforms, have prompted greater interest
in reviewing the issue of mutual fund fees in Canada.
“Mutual funds are a key investment in the portfolios of many
Canadians,” said Bill Rice, Chair of the CSA and Chair and CEO of the
Alberta Securities Commission. “It is important that we look at
Canada’s mutual fund fee structure carefully in determining what
changes could or should be considered to enhance investor protection
and foster confidence in our market.”
To date, the CSA has focused its efforts on enhancing the transparency
of mutual fund fees and commissions through initiatives such as the
Point of Sale, and Cost Disclosure and Performance Reporting projects.
While these initiatives remain a priority on behalf of investors, the
CSA has determined that it is also necessary to consult extensively
with investors and market participants to explore whether further
issues remain.
The CSA welcomes feedback on the Discussion Paper, which can be found
on CSA members’ websites. The comment period is open until April 12,
2013. All comments will be considered in the CSA’s decision and next
steps, and also assist in the development of a roundtable the CSA
plans to hold with investors and industry participants in 2013.
The CSA, the council of the securities regulators of Canada’s
provinces and territories, coordinates and harmonizes regulation for
the Canadian capital markets.

Dear Mr. Amos:

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
theUS. 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.

Whats this? A possibly ethical Governor in Vermont? I tried talking to
his people Heres hoping that he emails me back because his help
suddenly got busy didn't ask for my number.
"Vermont’s governor, Democrat Peter Shumlin, has said he seeks to use
an escape clause in the law to create a government- run health system
that would cover every resident and put private insurers, including
Cigna Corp. (CI), out of business in that state."

ATTORNEY'S OFFICE SDNY
Ms Olsen
Thank you for keeping me informed.
Yes unseal all my emails with all their attachments immediately and
make certain that the US Attorny's office finally practices full
disclosurement as to who I am and what my concerns are as per the Rule
of Law within a purported democracy.
As you folks all well know I am not a shy man and I have done nothing
wrong. It appears to me that bureacratic people only use the right to
privacy of others when it suits their malicious ends in order to
protect their butts from impreacment, litigation and prosecution.
The people in the US Attorney's Office and the SEC etc are very well
aware that I protested immediately to everyone I could think of when
the instant I knew that my correspondences went under seal and Madoff
pled guilty so quickly and yet another cover up involing my actions
was under full steam. Everybody knows that.the US Government has been
trying to keep my concerns about the rampant public corruption a
secret for well over seven long years. However now that a lot of
people and their countries in general are losing a lot of money people
are beginning to remember just exactly who I am and what i did
beginning over seven years ago..

P.S. For the record Obviously I pounced on these Yankee bastards as
soon as the newsrag in Boston published this article on the web last
night.
http://www.bostonherald.com/
Notice that Nester just like everyone else would not say my name? It
is because my issues surrounding both Madoff and are NOT marketing
timing They are as you all well know money laundering, fraud, forgery,
perjury, securites fraud, tax fraud, Bank fraud, illegal wiretappping
and Murder amongst other very serious crimes.
"SEC spokesman John Nester dismissed similarities between Markopolos
and Scannell's cases as "not a valid comparison."
He said the SEC determined the market-timing by Putnam clients that
Scannell reported didn't violate federal law. Nester said the SEC only
acted after another tipster alleged undisclosed market-timing by some
Putnam insiders.
Scannell, now a crusader for SEC reforms, isn't surprised the agency
is in hot water again.
Noting that several top SEC officials have gone on to high-paying
private-sector jobs, he believes hopes for future employment impact
investigations. "It's a distinct disadvantage to make waves before you
enter the private sector," Scannell said."

>> 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

>> 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

>> totalling $860 million over 12 months and involving approximately 800

>> 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

>> The CRA is increasing its efforts and is seeing early signs of

About
My background includes military service as a member of the
Canadian Armed Forces, Infantry (I served in 2 different units and
achieved technical certification in use of and training in combat arms,
light arms, as well as how to move as part of a squad, or a section, a
platoon or a brigade, map reading, reconnaissance, use of anti-personnel
devices and how to spot same, use of shoulder-borne anti-tank weapons
(same as ones being currently used by Ukraine against Russian armour) as
well as over 32 years in law enforcement, where I am currently a
supervisor in charge of the Ottawa Police Service’s National Security
Region Intelligence Section. Areas of subject matter expertise
concerning my policing experience include:
*Federal criminal investigations on large criminal investigations.
*Certified member of RCMP-Emergency Response Team (when the RCMP in Quebec needed 9-1-1, they called our team).
*United Nations investigations abroad including mass graves. multiple fatality management, and national security intelligence.
*After
extensive research--in conjunction with forensics experience in Bosnia
as well in Canada--I developed a unique multiple fatality response for
the Ottawa Police Service.
I currently head SOLUSYION Inc.,
which offers the emergency management field a very new, effective and
affordable response to mass fatality events. Using a series of field
guidelines (in electronic app and hard copy formats for redundancy),
field commanders can initiate a highly effective response to a multiple
fatality much more quickly than traditional practices.
Additionally,
SOLUSYION has a patented (USA and Canada) mobile field morgue that
manages disaster site human remains. Our system can be moved by air,
land or sea and can be moved to the site empty, then taken to the
nearest brick and mortar pathology site for next step identification.
SOLUSYION
offers training and set up of Disaster Victim Identification teams
using highly skilled personnel to train in classroom and in the field.
