N.S. shooting tragedy 'happened for absolutely nothing' if RCMP doesn't learn: commissioner

 

Barb Adams named Nova Scotia's new justice minister

The appointment comes days after Brad Johns resigned following comments on domestic violence

Days after Nova Scotia's justice minister and attorney general resigned for comments that questioned the pervasiveness of domestic violence in the province, another cabinet minister has been tasked with taking on the roles.

Premier Tim Houston announced Monday that Seniors and Long-Term Care Minister Barb Adams is adding the roles of justice minister and attorney general to her duties.

"Barbara has been doing an excellent job as minister of Seniors and Long-Term Care, bringing passion, empathy and determination to the role," Houston said in a news release.

"I know that she will bring those same qualities to the Department of Justice as we work to improve the system and implement the recommendations of the Mass Casualty Commission."

Controversial comments spark resignation

Adams was scheduled to be sworn in during a private ceremony on Monday, less than three days after Brad Johns resigned following his controversial comments.

Speaking on what was the fourth anniversary of the mass shooting that claimed the lives of 22 Nova Scotians, Johns told reporters last week that he disagreed with the Mass Casualty Commission's characterization of domestic violence as an epidemic. Johns said he thought drugs and gun violence are bigger issues.

An apology attributed to Johns was issued later in the day. He also made efforts to contact organizations supporting women and survivors of domestic violence to discuss the situation. By Friday evening, however, a news release from Houston said Johns was out of cabinet.

Houston's appointment of Adams speaks to his confidence in a minister who knows her portfolio as well as anyone in cabinet, is a strong communicator and has been a steadfast backer of the premier dating back to his bid to lead the Progressive Conservatives.

Johns says he 'misspoke'

As for Johns, in an interview with The Canadian Press, he said he "misspoke" on Thursday, adding that domestic violence is a priority for the government and his former department.

"As minister, it's important to have the confidence of the groups that you are working with," he said Monday.

"Actions speak louder than words. I didn't want organizations to think that domestic violence wasn't important to me and to the government."

Johns said he realized that the only way to demonstrate the government's commitment to the issue was to resign as justice minister.

"I recognize domestic violence is so prevalent in society and that so many people don't talk about it. But I recognized [my comments] may be damage that I can't repair," he said prior to word of Adams's appointment.

"Hopefully the premier can put somebody in there that can regain the confidence of those groups."

Johns, who represents the Halifax-area district of Sackville-Uniacke, said he is staying on as a member of the Progressive Conservative caucus.

N.S. shooting tragedy 'happened for absolutely nothing' if RCMP doesn't learn: commissioner

Last year's report called for sweeping reforms to the RCMP in wake of worst mass shooting in Canadian history

The head of the RCMP is adamant the police service he oversees is different from the one that was denounced a year ago for failing to keep Nova Scotians safe during the worst mass shooting in modern Canadian history.

"Judge us by the results we're going to have as we move forward," said Commissioner Mike Duheme from Millbrook, N.S., on Wednesday.

"We're not the same RCMP we were when the incident happened."

The commissioner was in the province to give an update following the public inquiry into the April 2020 tragedy, in which a gunman killed 22 people, including a pregnant woman, over the span of 13 hours.

A lawyer representing some of the families of the victims said her clients were "underwhelmed."

"There's a lot of vagueness and ambiguity," said Sandra McCulloch, a lawyer with Patterson Law 

Following outrage from the victims' families, an inquiry was struck to examine how a rampage of that magnitude could have unfolded. Almost exactly a year ago, the Mass Casualty Commission released its final report, which took aim at the RCMP's response to the crisis on almost every level. It called out a lack of preparation, a lack of communication and a lack of leadership and recommended Ottawa rethink how the RCMP operates.

"As an organization, if we don't learn from this, this tragic incident happened for absolutely nothing ... I don't want that to happen," Duheme told CBC News in an interview ahead of Wednesday's announcement. 

"We want to prove to people that we can change as an organization."

The Mass Casualty Commission found the RCMP was woefully unprepared to handle the events of April 18 and 19, 2020. The lack of preparedness caused chaos and confusion on the ground, with the responding officers unclear of the command structure, it found.

RCMP commissioner hoping to 'rebuild trust' with Nova Scotia families

Duration 0:50
In an interview with the CBC's Catharine Tunney, RCMP commissioner Mike Duheme said he hopes meeting families affected by the 2020 mass shooting in Nova Scotia will provide him with a chance to 'rebuild trust.' 

The report's harshest condemnation was saved for the RCMP's decision to withhold information from the public. That included that the gunman had left Portapique — the rural area where his rampage began — and that he was disguised as a police officer and driving across the province in a replica vehicle. 

Some victims' families, especially those who were killed on the morning of April 19, have been vocal that they believe their loved ones would still be alive if the RCMP had broadcast public warnings. 

"The RCMP's failure … deprived community members of the opportunity to evaluate risks to their safety and to take measures to better protect themselves," wrote the commissioners.

"Police work doesn't have a blueprint — we train our folks the best we can. But certain environments, or certain calls we go to, are so dynamic and fluid that members have to think on their feet, adjust according to a threat that's perceived, and then react accordingly. And that's sometimes what you can't capture in training," Duheme said.

"But for the most part, we are better off today than we were two years ago, or four years ago."

RCMP asked how many Mass Casualty Commission recommendations have happened

Duration 1:59
Commanding officer of Nova Scotia's RCMP Dennis Daley and Commissioner Mike Duheme are asked during an update Wednesday how many of the Mass Casualty Commission's 130 recommendations have been implemented.

The federal-provincial public inquiry made 130 recommendations, more than half involved policing in Canada. 

The RCMP said it is focused on the 33 under its direct control. The force said it's already changed its overall approach to managing crises, including alerting the public, and has deployed software to track the locations of its officers out in the field. 

The police service said other recommendations are still a work in progress.

McCulloch said she wanted to hear more details Wednesday. 

"There's a lot of overtures to being responsible or taking responsibility for recommendations and change," she said.

"Specific, hard changes that really respond to mistakes or omissions — I think that there's disappointment we're not hearing more about that."

Duheme argued changes take time.

"I would love to have them all in place by tomorrow," he said.

 "Change of this nature will take time. We want to make sure that we get this right. We want to rebuild the trust and confidence of Canadians." 

Promises of change in the past 

Canadians have heard promises of change from the RCMP before.

The RCMP has an uneven record when it comes to implementing recommendations and guidelines following tragedies. For example, a review of the 2014 shooting spree in Moncton, N.B., that left three members of the Codiac RCMP detachment dead and two others wounded, made recommendations around scene containment and crisis management. But Mounties testifying before the Nova Scotia inquiry said they weren't aware if those recommendations had actually been implemented.

Duheme believes that won't happen again.

Since he took over the top job 10 days before the Mass Casualty Commission report came out, he's set up a Reform, Accountability and Culture unit within headquarters, which includes a team dedicated to addressing the MCC and other external reviews. 

"We're heading in a different direction," he said. 

Some of the Mass Casualty Commission's recommendations involve direction from Ottawa, including calling an independent review of the RCMP's model and phasing out the police service's training academy in Regina, known as Depot, and implementing a degree-based system instead.

He and other family members of those who were killed in the tragedy were briefed on Tuesday night by RCMP about implementing recommendations of the mass casualty commission. McLeod says he's pleased with some of the progress police are making, but others want changes to come faster.

The commissioners felt the depot model "is inadequate to prepare RCMP members for the complex demands of contemporary policing."

It's unclear yet how the federal government will respond to the Mass Casualty Commission's report.

RCMP called him a sex-trafficking 'ringleader.' He wants an apology and $100M

The charges were quietly stayed, but Daegun Chun says they ruined his life

Daegun Chun, accused by Quebec RCMP of being the mastermind of a Canada-wide human-smuggling network, is now suing the force and Quebec's attorney general for $100 million after all charges against him were stayed.

Chun was arrested in Toronto in 2015, then flown to Montreal and paraded in front of TV cameras before a press conference alleging he was the head of a trafficking ring that forced as many as 500 women into prostitution in various Canadian cities.

The Quebec Crown prosecutor who brought the charges said at the time there was "overwhelming evidence" in the case.

But as The National Post first reported over the weekend, Chun's case never went to trial.

After all the fanfare over Chun's arrest, Crown prosecutors quietly stayed all charges against him in 2018.

"When they arrested me they have some big show. And when they finished the case, nobody said anything," Chun told CBC News in an interview Tuesday.

"They wanted to save face. They don't want to admit their mistake," Chun said.

Charges stayed with no explanation

When he was arrested, Chun was running a private career college in Toronto. He and eight other co-defendants were said to be running the prostitution operation in Toronto and Montreal.

Chun has always denied the allegations. He has no previous criminal record. He admitted he knew two of the co-accused, but only as tenants in condos he was subletting.

He believes the RCMP mistakenly concluded the school he was running was a front for human smuggling.

Chun's lawsuit alleges RCMP officers made many errors, including mistranslating statements from Korean witnesses, relying on questionable information from co-accused and extrapolating innocuous aspects of running a school in order to fashion him into a criminal mastermind.

Chun spent 32 months in detention in Montreal before being released on bail in 2017, a few months before his scheduled trial.

It was only when he showed up for the trial in Montreal in March 2018 — fully prepared to argue the case — that he learned Crown prosecutors had stayed all charges against him a few weeks earlier without informing him and without further explanation.

"To protect its own interests and those of the RCMP, the Crown did the only thing it could in the circumstance, order a stay of charges, thereby denying Mr. Chun his day in court and the opportunity to have a court make a finding of not guilty," Chun's lawsuit alleges.

He's suing for $100 million, arguing the arrest essentially ruined his life.

"The RCMP's shoddy handling of the Project Confidence investigation, and the self-congratulatory grandstanding that followed, irreparably damaged Mr. Chun's professional and personal reputation by mistakenly branding him a major threat to civilized society," the lawsuit alleges.

The RCMP responded to CBC News in an email.

"Unfortunately, we cannot comment because of the civil litigation currently on the way," Sgt. Charles Poirier, spokesperson for the RCMP in Quebec, said.

Quebec's Ministry of Justice did not respond to a request for comment.

RCMP tried and failed to have lawsuit tossed

Chun originally filed his lawsuit in 2019, but it has been delayed several times as both the RCMP and the Quebec attorney general have tried to have it tossed on procedural grounds.

Chun filed his initial statement of claim himself without the aid of a lawyer.

In a 2021 decision, Ontario Superior Court Judge Fred Myers concluded that the statement of claim was flawed and contained many legal errors, but he didn't think that was reason enough to throw out the case.

"Given that the first statement of claim was drafted by non-lawyers and tells such a clear factual story, in my view, the plaintiffs ought to have one more chance to try to plead proper claims," Myers said in the decision. 

"I am not much moved by the RCMP's desire to get on with its life as opposed to Mr. Chun's claim for recompense for the loss of his life as he knew it," Myers said.

"Uncharitably viewed, the RCMP could be said to be grasping at technical straws to avoid having to account for its remarkable conduct," Myers said.

 Chun has since hired a lawyer who's filed a new statement of claim.

That lawyer, Marshall Reinhart, told CBC News the RCMP and the attorney general of Quebec are again trying to have the case thrown out, arguing among other things that the new statement of claim wasn't filed within a court-ordered timeline.

Reinhart said Quebec was also arguing that the lawsuit should not be heard in Ontario since the original charges were filed in Quebec.

Those points will be argued at a hearing in Toronto in October.

Chun is back living there, doing volunteer work and receiving some financial support from his family.

He still struggles to get bank loans or employment because of the case, and to be fully welcomed back into the church community he was part of before.

"Nobody wants to talk to me even though the criminal case is stayed. They don't trust me," he said.

He wants cash compensation and an apology, but he also hopes his lawsuit might prevent something similar from happening to someone else.

"I hope my story contributes to more democracy in Canada, and that some systems change," Chun said.

Nova Scotia's Independent MLA ends court challenge of PC resolution

Elizabeth Smith-McCrossin says upcoming resignation of Karla MacFarlane neutralizes threat of expulsion

The only Independent member of the Nova Scotia Legislature has dropped her court challenge of a PC resolution threatening to expel her from the House.

In a news release issued by her office Wednesday, Elizabeth Smith-McCrossin said she was dropping the case because of the upcoming retirement of former Speaker Karla MacFarlane, who announced her resignation last week.

MacFarlane was the minister of community services when she introduced a resolution last year stating Smith-McCrossin had misled the House in comments regarding a former Progressive Conservative caucus staffer.

Smith-McCrossin had claimed the woman was coerced into signing a non-disclosure agreement when she worked for the PC caucus in 2018. The woman subsequently worked for Smith-McCrossin until her death in June 2022.

No vote on resolution

The resolution, which called on Smith-McCrossin to retract her comments and apologize before taking her seat, was never called for a vote. However, it continues to sit on the order paper and could have been called during sittings last fall and this spring.

Smith-McCrossin went to court last June asking a Nova Scotia Supreme Court judge to declare MacFarlane's resolution null and void.

MacFarlane unexpectedly announced her resignation as Speaker when the spring sitting wrapped up last week. A post on her Facebook page said she would also be stepping down as the MLA for Pictou West in the coming weeks.

As the author of the resolution at the heart of the court challenge, MacFarlane's departure from Province House means the motion could only move forward with unanimous consent. Liberal and NDP MLAs have been critical of the resolution, so that support simply isn't there.

Independent MLA wants court to kill PC resolution to expel her

Elizabeth Smith-McCrossin filed court action on Monday

The province's only Independent MLA, Elizabeth Smith-McCrossin, is asking a Nova Scotia Supreme Court judge to declare "null and void" a resolution brought forward last spring by the minister of community services aimed at expelling her from the legislature.

Karla MacFarlane introduced Resolution 598 on April 3, calling on the House to declare that Smith-McCrossin "misled the House, and that she not be allowed to take her seat until such time as she retracts her comments and apologizes."

The action was sparked by comments made by Smith-McCrossin the week previous during debate on the use of non-disclosure agreements in cases of sexual assault or harassment.

The former PC MLA, who has sat as an Independent since 2021, accused the PC caucus of having "coerced" a young female staffer into signing an NDA to prevent the woman, who later worked for Smith-McCrossin, from disclosing what transpired between her and former leader Jamie Baillie.

Smith-McCrossin tabled a redacted document she claimed was proof of the NDA between caucus and Kait Saxton.

In 2018, caucus forced Baillie out of his job for what it called "inappropriate behaviour" toward a female staffer.

MacFarlane, the interim leader after Baillie was dumped, denied caucus forced anyone to sign a document to silence them about what transpired.

"The NDA is non-existent," MacFarlane told reporters last spring. "It does not exist in our files or anywhere because it didn't happen."

Although the government never called for a vote on the resolution, and Smith-McCrossin did not apologize, the resolution remains on the order paper and could be called at any time.

Smith-McCrossin filed a motion in court in Amherst, N.S., on Monday seeking to have the resolution declared "null and void."

Speaking to CBC News from her constituency Wednesday, Smith-McCrossin said the continued existence of the resolution is an attempt to silence her.

"I'm going to continue to keep speaking the truth and being honest and being the voice of my people, however it is intimidating to have a notice of motion sitting on the order paper trying to remove me," said Smith-McCrossin. "It is intimidating. I don't believe it should be there."

'We will respond in court'

The closest Smith-McCrossin came to retracting her accusation against the PC caucus was to say she was relaying the information as she understood it to be true.

Premier Tim Houston's press secretary, Meagan Byrd, said in an email Wednesday that given Smith-McCrossin "has admitted that her comments on the floor of the House were not factual," there was no need to call the resolution to a vote.

"However, just as there is no way to remove her untruthful comments from the record, there is no way to remove a motion from Hansard," wrote Byrd. "We will respond in court."

While a motion can't be removed from Hansard, which is the official record of the House, legislature rules say a member who makes a motion can withdraw it so long as all other MLAs agree. 

Smith-McCrossin has said she found the copy of the document among the effects of her former employee after the woman died last year of a brain hemorrhage. The woman's parents have issued a statement saying their daughter was "ghosted" and "treated like a pariah" after she signed a non-disclosure agreement and left her job with the Tories.

A date will be set Aug. 3 for the court action to be heard by a judge.

RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki tried to ‘jeopardize’ mass murder
investigation to advance Trudeau’s gun control efforts

RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki “made a promise” to Public Safety
Minister Bill Blair and the Prime Minister’s Office to leverage the
mass murders of April 18/19, 2020 to get a gun control law passed.

A week after the murders, Lucki pressured RCMP in Nova Scotia to
release details of the weapons used by the killer. But RCMP commanders
in Nova Scotia refused to release such details, saying doing so would
threaten their investigation into the murders.

The Trudeau government’s gun control objectives were spelled out in an
order in council issued in May 2020, and were encapsulated in Bill
C-21, which was tabled last month, but the concern in April 2020 was
the extent to which politics threatened to interfere with a
cross-border police investigation into how the killer managed to
obtain and smuggle into Canada four illegal guns used to commit many
of the 22 murders.

The RCMP subsequently learned the killer paid a man named Neil
Gallivan to purchase one assault-style rifle at a 2019 gun show in
Houlton, Maine. The killer also obtained two illegal handguns from a
close friend and collector named Sean Conlogue.

No charges have been laid against either Gallivan or Conlogue, and
it’s still unclear why.
“Reduced to tears”

RCMP Support Services Officer Darren Campbell

But the Mounties didn’t have that information on April 28, 2020 — just
one week after the murders — when Nova Scotia Supt. Darren Campbell
briefed journalists at a news conference.

Compared to earlier briefings given by Chief Supt. Chris Leather, the
head of Criminal Operations, Campbell was much more forthcoming. He
answered questions about the timeline for the murders, the possible
motivation of the gunman, and the condition and role of intimate
partner Lisa Banfield.

On the firearms question, Campbell told journalists he “couldn’t get
into details… because the investigation is still active and ongoing,”
except to confirm the gunman had several semi-automatic handguns and
two semi-automatic rifles.

Shortly after the news conference Campbell, Asst. Commander Lee
Bergerman, Leather, and Nova Scotia Communications director Lia
Scanlan were summoned to a meeting. RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki and
a deputy from Ottawa were on the conference call. Lucki was not happy.

Campbell’s handwritten notes made immediately following that meeting
describe what happened:

    The Commissioner was obviously upset. She did not raise her voice
but her choice of words was indicative of her overall dissatisfaction
with our work. The Commissioner accused us (me) of disrespecting her
by not following her instructions. I was and remain confused over
this. The Commissioner said she told Comms to tell us at H Division to
include specific info about the firearms used by [the killer]….However
I said we couldn’t because to do so would jeopardize ongoing efforts
to advance the U.S. side of the case as well as the Canadian
components of the investigation. Those are facts and I stand by them.

Campbell noted that Lucki went on at length and said she was “sad and
disappointed” that he had not provided these details to the media.
Campbell continued:

    The Commissioner said she had promised the Minister of Public
Safety and the Prime Minister’s Office that the RCMP (we) would
release this information. I tried to explain there was no intent to
disrespect anyone however we could not release this information at
this time. The Commissioner then said that we didn’t understand, that
this was tied to pending gun control legislation that would make
officers and the public safer. She was very upset and at one point
Deputy Commissioner (Brian) Brennan tried to get things calmed down
but that had little effect. Some in the room were reduced to tears and
emotional over this belittling reprimand.

Keeping the death toll from the public

A document released by the Mass Casualty Commission (MCC) today —
“Public Communications from RCMP and Government After Portapique” —
indicates there were earlier sources of tension between National RCMP
Headquarters in Ottawa and ‘H’ Division in Nova Scotia over how
information concerning the victims would be controlled.

Lia Scanlan was the director of strategic communications for the RCMP
in Nova Scotia. She told the commission the national RCMP HQ was aware
a news conference was planned for 6pm on Sunday evening, April 19,
2020, and it was “explicitly stated that we were doing all the
communications.”

During this first surreal briefing only hours after the gunman and
been shot and killed by police, most of the focus was on the murder of
RCMP Cst. Heidi Stevenson rather than the murders of multiple
civilians. Only 10 minutes into the press conference, and in response
to a reporter’s question, Chief Supt. Chris Leather shocked most Nova
Scotians when he confirmed there were “in excess of 10 victims.”

Leather had been told one hour before the briefing there were at least
15 confirmed victims at 15 crime scenes, with the possibility of more.
Many who watched the live briefing observed the RCMP officer appeared
like a deer caught in headlights.

But Nova Scotia ‘H’ Division did not have control of the message.

Contravening the agreed protocol, throughout the early hours of Sunday
evening, RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki agreed to a number of
one-on-one interviews with reporters. At 7:36pm, CBC News quoted Lucki
as stating there were 13 victims; at 7:40pm, CTV reported Lucki had
said 14 victims; and at 7:56pm, the Canadian Press quoted Lucki as
having confirmed 17 dead, including the gunman.

The public and the press corps were both confused and alarmed.

“So how does it happen that Commissioner Lucki….?”, MCC lawyer Krista
Smith started to ask Communications director Lia Scanlan during an
interview last February.

“I don’t know, ask National Headquarters,” retorted Scanlan.“The
commissioner releases a body count that we (Communications) don’t even
have. She went out and did that. It was all political pressure. That
is 100% Minister Blair and the Prime Minister. And we have a
Commissioner that does not push back.”

At 10:21 Sunday night, Lia Scanlan emailed Sharon Tessier, the senior
communications manager at RCMP National Headquarter, and two
colleagues asking them to speak to Lucki about releasing victim
information:

    Can I make a request that we stop changing the number of victims.
Please allow us to lead the release of information. It looks
fragmented and inconsistent. I spoke with the Commanding Officer
tonight and we will be updating this tomorrow.

    We knew at the time of the press event it was more than 10
(victims) but that is what we came to ground on for the event. That is
our plan tomorrow, to update as our members continue their jobs and
discover more crime scenes and bodies. The changes in number are
causing our phones to ring off the hook…

    For consideration, Lia

Despite the frustration of journalists and citizens trying to grasp
the magnitude of what had happened in northern Nova Scotia, the
reporting of the number of deceased would continue to change over the
next couple of days.

At the second news briefing held Monday April 20 at 2pm, Leather said
“I can confirm there are 19 victims but we expect there may be more.”
Asked why, Leather suggested that because so many homes had burned to
the ground, it might take longer to find and identify other victims.

That sounded reasonable. Unfortunately, it didn’t square with notes
from the the Major Crimes Investigation unit. The notes show
Investigators had confirmed 22 victims as of 11pm the previous Sunday
night. At the 2pm news conference Monday afternoon, RCMP in Nova
Scotia said they could not release the names of the civilian victims
until the Medical Examiner had completed forensic identifications. But
by 5:25pm that same day, the MCC document shows all next-of-kin
families of victims had been notified so there was no compelling
reason not to release the names.

Ultimately, the RCMP didn’t release the names until after media
outlets, including the Halifax Examiner, had independently reported
them.

In Ottawa, Public Safety minister Bill Blair and Commissioner Lucki
conducted their own media briefing on Monday at 2:30pm.

The senior Communications manager from RCMP HQ, Sharon Tessier, had
called Nova Scotia Comms earlier in the day to say HQ supported
releasing the names of all victims. During his briefing Blair
announced that the killer’s victims included “a nurse, a teacher,
corrections officers, a serving police officer, parents, neighbours,
and friends.” Blair and Lucki talked about “18 lives” being lost,
adding to the inconsistency and confusion over how large a tragedy had
occurred.

On Tuesday April 21, RCMP in Nova Scotia posted information on its
Facebook account that named the communities where the killer had taken
lives and confirmed a total of 23 victims. Later in the day that
number was adjusted to 22 and the revised post acknowledged the killer
had been shot and killed by police.

>> >>>>>>>> [1]              On September 16, 2015, David Raymond Amos (Mr.

>> >>>>>>>> filed a 53-page Statement of Claim (the Claim) in Federal Court

>> >>>>>>>> in damages and a public apology from the Prime Minister and

>> >>>>>>>> of
>> >>>>>>>> a
>> >>>>>>>> motion brought by the Crown, a prothonotary of the Federal Court
>> >>>>>>>> (the

>> >>>>>>>> and the Claim could not be salvaged by way of further amendment
>> >>>>>>>> (the
>> >>>>>>>> Prothontary’s Order).
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [3]              On January 25, 2016 (2016 FC 93), by way of
>> >>>>>>>> Mr.
>> >>>>>>>> Amos’ appeal from the Prothonotary’s Order, a judge of the
>> >>>>>>>> Federal
>> >>>>>>>> Court (the Judge), reviewing the matter de novo, struck all of

>> >>>>>>>> for being barred by the RCMP from the New Brunswick legislature
>> >>>>>>>> in
>> >>>>>>>> 2004 (the Federal Court Judgment).
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [4]              Mr. Amos appealed and the Crown cross-appealed
>> >>>>>>>> the
>> >>>>>>>> Federal Court Judgment. Further to the issuance of a Notice of
>> >>>>>>>> Status
>> >>>>>>>> Review, Mr. Amos’ appeal was dismissed for delay on December 19,
>> >>>>>>>> 2016.

>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> II.                Preliminary Matter
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [5]              Mr. Amos, in his memorandum of fact and law in
>> >>>>>>>> relation to the cross-appeal that was filed with this Court on
>> >>>>>>>> March
>> >>>>>>>> 6, 2017, indicated that several judges of this Court, including
>> two
>> >>>>>>>> of
>> >>>>>>>> the judges of this panel, had a conflict of interest in this
>> >>>>>>>> appeal.
>> >>>>>>>> This was the first time that he identified the judges whom he
>> >>>>>>>> believed
>> >>>>>>>> had a conflict of interest in a document that was filed with
>> >>>>>>>> this
>> >>>>>>>> Court. In his notice of appeal he had alluded to a conflict with
>> >>>>>>>> several judges but did not name those judges.
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [6]              Mr. Amos was of the view that he did not have
>> >>>>>>>> to
>> >>>>>>>> identify the judges in any document filed with this Court
>> >>>>>>>> because
>> >>>>>>>> he
>> >>>>>>>> had identified the judges in various documents that had been
>> >>>>>>>> filed
>> >>>>>>>> with the Federal Court. In his view the Federal Court and the
>> >>>>>>>> Federal
>> >>>>>>>> Court of Appeal are the same court and therefore any document
>> filed
>> >>>>>>>> in
>> >>>>>>>> the Federal Court would be filed in this Court. This view is
>> >>>>>>>> based
>> >>>>>>>> on

>> >>>>>>>> 1985,
>> >>>>>>>> c. F-7:
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>>

>> >>>>>>>> Mr. Amos identified the particular judges that he submits have a

>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [11]          On April 3, 2017, Mr. Amos attempted to bring a

>> >>>>>>>> before the Federal Court seeking an order “affirming or denying

>> >>>>>>>> Mr. Amos raised the Federal Court motion at the hearing of this

>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [12]          During the hearing of the appeal Mr. Amos alleged
>> >>>>>>>> that
>> >>>>>>>> the third member of this panel also had a conflict of interest

>> >>>>>>>> submitted some documents that, in his view, supported his claim
>> >>>>>>>> of
>> >>>>>>>> a
>> >>>>>>>> conflict. Mr. Amos, following the hearing of his appeal, was
>> >>>>>>>> also
>> >>>>>>>> afforded the opportunity to provide a brief summary of the

>> >>>>>>>> that he was alleging and to file additional documents that, in

>> >>>>>>>> of
>> >>>>>>>> documents in relation to the alleged conflicts. He organized the

>> >>>>>>>> including
>> >>>>>>>> copies of the documents that, in his view, supported his claim
>> that
>> >>>>>>>> such judge had a conflict.
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [13]          The nature of the alleged conflict of Justice
>> >>>>>>>> Webb
>> >>>>>>>> is
>> >>>>>>>> that before he was appointed as a Judge of the Tax Court of
>> >>>>>>>> Canada
>> >>>>>>>> in
>> >>>>>>>> 2006, he was a partner with the law firm Patterson Law, and
>> >>>>>>>> before
>> >>>>>>>> that with Patterson Palmer in Nova Scotia. Mr. Amos submitted

>> >>>>>>>> he
>> >>>>>>>> had a number of disputes with Patterson Palmer and Patterson Law

>> >>>>>>>> which
>> >>>>>>>> Mr.
>> >>>>>>>> Amos was involved with Justice Webb’s former law firm – only
>> >>>>>>>> that
>> >>>>>>>> he

>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [14]          During his oral submissions at the hearing of his
>> >>>>>>>> appeal Mr. Amos, in relation to the alleged conflict for Justice
>> >>>>>>>> Webb,
>> >>>>>>>> focused on dealings between himself and a particular lawyer at
>> >>>>>>>> Patterson Law. However, none of the documents submitted by Mr.
>> Amos
>> >>>>>>>> at
>> >>>>>>>> the hearing or subsequently related to any dealings with this
>> >>>>>>>> particular lawyer nor is it clear when Mr. Amos was dealing with
>> >>>>>>>> this
>> >>>>>>>> lawyer. In particular, it is far from clear whether such
>> >>>>>>>> dealings
>> >>>>>>>> were
>> >>>>>>>> after the time that Justice Webb was appointed as a Judge of the
>> >>>>>>>> Tax
>> >>>>>>>> Court of Canada over 10 years ago.
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [15]          The documents that he submitted in relation to
>> >>>>>>>> the
>> >>>>>>>> alleged conflict for Justice Webb largely relate to dealings
>> >>>>>>>> between
>> >>>>>>>> Byron Prior and the St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador office
>> >>>>>>>> of
>> >>>>>>>> Patterson Palmer, which is not in the same province where
>> >>>>>>>> Justice
>> >>>>>>>> Webb
>> >>>>>>>> practiced law. The only document that indicates any dealing
>> between
>> >>>>>>>> Mr. Amos and Patterson Palmer is a copy of an affidavit of
>> >>>>>>>> Stephen
>> >>>>>>>> May
>> >>>>>>>> who was a partner in the St. John’s NL office of Patterson
>> >>>>>>>> Palmer.
>> >>>>>>>> The
>> >>>>>>>> affidavit is dated January 24, 2005 and refers to a number of
>> >>>>>>>> e-mails
>> >>>>>>>> that were sent by Mr. Amos to Stephen May. Mr. Amos also
>> >>>>>>>> included
>> a
>> >>>>>>>> letter that is addressed to four individuals, one of whom is
>> >>>>>>>> John

>> >>>>>>>> “John Crosbie, c/o Greg G. Byrne, Suite 502, 570 Queen Street,
>> >>>>>>>> Fredericton, NB E3B 5E3”. In this letter Mr. Amos alludes to a
>> >>>>>>>> possible lawsuit against Patterson Palmer.
>> >>>>>>>> [16]          Mr. Amos’ position is that simply because Justice

>> >>>>>>>> was a lawyer with Patterson Palmer, he now has a conflict. In

>> >>>>>>>> Indian Band v. Her Majesty the Queen, 2003 SCC 45, [2003] 2

>> >>>>>>>> rules to determine whether a lawyer has a conflict:

>> >>>>>>>> J.
>> >>>>>>>> in MacDonald Estate v. Martin (1990), 77 D.L.R. (4th) 249
>> (S.C.C.),
>> >>>>>>>> for sound policy reasons there is a presumption of a

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

>> >>>>>>>> of this case and whether there are serious grounds to find a

>> >>>>>>>> there
>> >>>>>>>> are
>> >>>>>>>> two significant factors that justify the trial judge's decision

>> >>>>>>>> to
>> >>>>>>>> recuse himself. The first is his statement, which all parties

>> >>>>>>>> that he knew nothing of the case when it was in his former firm

>> >>>>>>>> that he had nothing to do with it. The second is the long
>> >>>>>>>> passage
>> >>>>>>>> of
>> >>>>>>>> time. As was said in Wewaykum, at para. 85:
>> >>>>>>>>            To us, one significant factor stands out, and must
>> >>>>>>>> inform
>> >>>>>>>> the perspective of the reasonable person assessing the impact of
>> >>>>>>>> this
>> >>>>>>>> involvement on Binnie J.'s impartiality in the appeals. That

>> >>>>>>>> is
>> >>>>>>>> the passage of time. Most arguments for disqualification rest on
>> >>>>>>>> circumstances that are either contemporaneous to the
>> >>>>>>>> decision-making,
>> >>>>>>>> or that occurred within a short time prior to the
>> >>>>>>>> decision-making.
>> >>>>>>>> 31        There are other factors that inform the issue. The
>> Wilson
>> >>>>>>>> Walker firm no longer acted for any of the parties by the time
>> >>>>>>>> of
>> >>>>>>>> trial. More importantly, at the time of the motion, Patterson J.
>> >>>>>>>> had
>> >>>>>>>> been a judge for six years and thus had not had a relationship
>> with
>> >>>>>>>> his former firm for a considerable period of time.
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> 32        In my view, a reasonable person, viewing the matter
>> >>>>>>>> realistically would conclude that the trial judge could deal
>> fairly
>> >>>>>>>> and impartially with this case. I take this view principally
>> >>>>>>>> because
>> >>>>>>>> of the long passage of time and the trial judge's lack of
>> >>>>>>>> involvement
>> >>>>>>>> in or knowledge of the case when the Wilson Walker firm had
>> >>>>>>>> carriage.
>> >>>>>>>> In these circumstances it cannot be reasonably contended that
>> >>>>>>>> the
>> >>>>>>>> trial judge could not remain impartial in the case. The mere
>> >>>>>>>> fact
>> >>>>>>>> that
>> >>>>>>>> his name appears on the letterhead of some correspondence from

>> >>>>>>>> a
>> >>>>>>>> decade ago would not lead a reasonable person to believe that he
>> >>>>>>>> would
>> >>>>>>>> either consciously or unconsciously favour his former firm's

>> >>>>>>>> client. It is simply not realistic to think that a judge would

>> >>>>>>>> a
>> >>>>>>>> client - about whom he knew nothing - of a firm that he left six

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

>> >>>>>>>> A.                Standard of Review

>> >>>>>>>> S.C.R.
>> >>>>>>>> 235

>> >>>>>>>> B.                Did the Judge err in interfering with the

>> >>>>>>>> Claim in its entirety without leave to amend:

>> >>>>>>>> 17.      Within the 96 paragraph Statement of Claim, the

>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [30]          The Judge determined that he could not strike the

>> >>>>>>>> on the same jurisdictional basis as the Prothonotary. The Judge

>> >>>>>>>> who barred Mr. Amos from the New Brunswick legislature in 2004

>> >>>>>>>> 2003
>> >>>>>>>> SCC
>> >>>>>>>> 69 [Odhavji] and Lewis v Canada, 2012 FC 1514 [Lewis], I must
>> >>>>>>>> determine whether the plaintiffs’ statement of claim pleads each

>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> a) The public officer must have engaged in deliberate and
>> >>>>>>>> unlawful
>> >>>>>>>> conduct in his or her capacity as public officer;
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> b) The public officer must have been aware both that his or her

>> >>>>>>>> and
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> c) There must be an element of bad faith or dishonesty by the
>> >>>>>>>> public
>> >>>>>>>> officer and knowledge of harm alone is insufficient to conclude
>> >>>>>>>> that
>> >>>>>>>> a
>> >>>>>>>> public officer acted in bad faith or dishonestly.
>> >>>>>>>> Odhavji, above, at paras 23, 24 and 28
>> >>>>>>>> (Federal Court Judgment at para. 28).
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [32]          The Judge determined that Mr. Amos disclosed

>> >>>>>>>> material facts to meet the elements of the tort of misfeasance
>> >>>>>>>> in
>> >>>>>>>> public office because the actors, who barred him from the New
>> >>>>>>>> Brunswick legislature in 2004, including the RCMP, did so for

>> >>>>>>>> pleadings
>> >>>>>>>> in Merchant Law Group v. Canada (Revenue Agency), 2010 FCA 184,
>> 321
>> >>>>>>>> D.L.R (4th) 301 is particularly apt:

>> >>>>>>>> To this, I would add that the tort of misfeasance in public

>> >>>>>>>> [34]          Applying the Housen standard of review to the

>> >>>>>>>> interfered
>> >>>>>>>> absent a legal or palpable and overriding error.
>> >>>>>>>>
>> >>>>>>>> [35]          The Prothonotary determined that Mr. Amos’ Claim

>> >>>>>>>> basis of jurisdictional concerns and the absence of material

>> >>>>>>>> to
>> >>>>>>>> ground a cause of action. Paragraph 14 of the Claim, which
