Re: Federal Justice
Department undermining the incompetent RCMP, etc.
"Justice Department undermining RCMP fraud
squads, say documents CP Published: Sunday, March 19, 2006 OTTAWA -- The
RCMP's new market fraud teams were supposed to nail more corporate thieves by
bringing together hard-nosed cops, financial sleuths and savvy
prosecutors. But recently disclosed documents suggest the highly
touted Integrated Market Enforcement Teams (IMETs) may have been undermined by
the federal Justice Department. When they were launched in June
2003, the teams were to include advisers and prosecutors from the Justice
Department to help guide complex probes of major frauds involving Canada's
financial markets. The $120 million, five-year initiative needed
the federal lawyers to give "advice and assistance regarding aspects such as
wiretap applications, search warrants and disclosure advice to the IMETs
during the course of investigations," according to an internal planning
document. But Justice, which was handed $17 million for its
participation, initially failed to deliver these key team members.
"The purpose of this note is to express concern with respect to the lack of
participation to date by the Department of Justice in the operations component
of the IMET initiative," RCMP Supt. John Sliter, director of the IMETs, wrote
to his counterpart at Justice almost a year after the launch. "We are at
a point in our implementation where we are in dire need of legal advisers to
work along side of our investigators. They were to form an integral part of
our integrated teams...there is a noticeable and serious lacking on each of
our teams, caused by the absence of representation from the DOJ (Department of
Justice)." Sliter's note, among a group of RCMP documents obtained
under the Access to Information Act, cites investigations in Vancouver and
Halifax that required immediate help from federal lawyers, who had not been
provided. The document also refers to the first two IMET offices,
established in Toronto and Vancouver: "Both offices have been designed to
accommodate DOJ legal advisors on site. We have done so in good faith and yet
none of the positions have been filled to date." A briefing note
to the RCMP commissioner seven months later suggests the Justice Department
staffing issue remained unresolved, with a senior officer advising: "the
situation remains far from satisfactory." Heavily censored
documents indicate that Justice Department staffing problems stemmed partly
from government-wide restrictions on hiring, even though funds were specially
provided for IMET work. But beyond the red tape, Justice was also
concerned about federal-provincial relations, although legislation had been
passed in March 2004 allowing federal lawyers to prosecute fraud cases that
would otherwise be the responsibility of the provinces. "The other
issue is $$$," says a January 2004 e-mail from a senior RCMP
officer. "Justice does not want to start a precedent whereby the
Feds fund Prov. prosecutions." The response from another senior
officer: "We want our cases prosecuted and if one level can't or won't, we
hope the other will." The IMET initiative specifically earmarked
$13.4 million to cover the direct costs of prosecutions by the
provinces. More than three years after it was announced, the IMET
program has yet to lay charges in any of its high-profile
investigations. And earlier this month there were further
indications of Justice Department staffing issues, in connection with an IMET
probe of Royal Group Technologies, which involves Greg Sorbara, Ontario's
former finance minister. Sorbara's lawyer filed a court affidavit
suggesting that two Justice Department officials had been pulled from the file
and that the department "was no longer advising IMET" in Sorbara's
case. RCMP has declined to comment on the Royal Group Technologies
file. But a May 2005 report by Sliter suggested that Justice is
taking a less hands-on role in IMET investigations as "an attempt to deal with
legal concerns that participation by non-law enforcement agencies in
`management' of investigations might be seen to be an abuse of
process." A Justice Department spokesman says federal lawyers are
currently assigned to two of the three Toronto IMET teams, and one to each of
the other teams in Vancouver, Calgary and Montreal. Chris Girouard
also rejected suggestions that IMET's work was impeded in any way by the
Justice Department. "Before the IMET advisers (from Justice) were
in place, in those cities, we provided advice to the program whenever it was
sought," he said in an interview. "We've been working closely with
them from the start...There was never any case that was delayed in the
progress of any of the IMET files." Asked whether problems of
co-operation with Justice had been resolved, RCMP spokeswoman Sgt. Nathalie
Deschenes said only that "IMETs use an integrated approach which includes
members of the Department of Justice, whose mandate is to provide in-house
counsel in each respective local. "During the investigation stage,
Department of Justice legal counsel play an advisory role."
Now let's see we have had public servants of the
Justice Department abusing tax payers money, producing false expense accounts.
I have been complaining also about the mostly bad Justice Ministers the last
ten years and more. I have been complaining about the pretentious RCMP, even
specifically the RCMP commercial crime Division, and the pretentious RCMP
public complaints commission too the last ten years. It is sad the New
Canadian Federal conservative Government and it's leader S Harper are really
not any better, or different than the previous one. And Now I can continue with the same topic again for how many
years?"
"Federal officials are investigating an
Ottawa-area public servant for alleged abuse of a government credit card. The
unidentified employee of Public Works allegedly bought $545 worth of tickets
to attend a minor league baseball game featuring the Ottawa Lynx. A document
obtained under the Access to Information Act indicates an internal financial
official alerted the department last August. And a preliminary review by
Public Works' fraud directorate found evidence supporting the allegation, the
document says. A spokesman for Public Works, Pierre Teotonio, declined to
provide details on the case. "We cannot comment further until the matter is
investigated fully," he said in an interview. Several federal departments and
agencies have been rapped by auditors in recent years for credit-card abuse by
employees, including Fisheries and Oceans, Justice and the Canadian
International Development Agency"
OTTAWA -- Federal Justice Department employees
have played fast and loose with travel and hospitality rules and cost
taxpayers a bundle, an internal audit reveals. The report,
completed in March 2005 but just released publicly on the department's website
last week, uncovered sweeping problems, including shoddy documentation, mixing
personal and business trips on the public dime, and flying business class
instead of economy in violation of the rules. Weak control measures have left
the department vulnerable to unauthorized spending, non-compliance to the
rules, unjustified or fraudulent claims and excessive expenses, the report
found. Citing a number of "gaps and weaknesses" in the department,
the report blames some breaches on ignorance. But other violations stem from a
blatant disregard for federal policy or deliberate abuse of the rules, the
audit said.
and who there is going to deal with these
complaints of mine too?
"All the BS about democracy, still next
indicates that the Conservatives are the biggest liars and abusers of other's
human rights in Canada Today. Simply just try to post disagreeing messages on
the Conservative sites such as http://canadiancoalition.com/forum/ccd-forum.shtml or
the Western Standard Blog http://westernstandard.blogs.com/
dominated by a minority of self centered, abusive rednecks and
you for sure next will be firstly abused, slandered, personally
bashed, attacked and next cut off, denied access to it. The self
proclaimed Conservatives posters there in Alberta are still some
of the biggest liars, human rights abusers even if they lie and claim they are
Christians now too. It has been that way for the last 25 years in my real
Albertan experiences now too. "
This Federal Conservative
government has already undeniably tried wrongfully to suppress my right of
free speech. And S Harper is going overboard trying to shut down
the free speech of the press, and a Citizen now too, and note I do not
take his orders, I do not even belong to his Conservative party. How to
write a letter to a Member of parliament safely in Canada is the problem
I rather do have . A Conservative BC MP James MOORE, and
S HARPER too? wrongfully does not want me to complain about Canada's
Medicare and they wants now also to shut me up as well, me an
ordinary citizen. Did this meet your approval too? I mailed my complaint now
even to all of Canada's MPs
By the way you have yet to even
acknowledge yourselves one letter of mine.
RSVP Thank you.
PS: It really does also
rightfully still upset me that the rather too often perverse applicators of
the laws, the judges, self regulating bodies commissions and commissioners
base their conclusions not on sound principles, morality, uniform and valid
applications of the laws but rather their own personal preferences and
perversely they are allowed to get away with it
still.
Please do Note this related fact if they all now can't
catch, deal with even the small time hoods in Canada they are not able
to deal with the Muslims terrorists effectively now too . Such is the
unacceptable reality
(Luke 16:10 KJV) He that is faithful in
that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the
least is unjust also in much. 11 If therefore ye have not been faithful
in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who
shall give you that which is your own?
"Smuggling
of ecstasy into U.S. from Canada a growing problem, officials say
Fri Mar 17, 8:25 PM ET VANCOUVER
(CP) - U.S. officials are calling the Thursday seizure of 671,000 tablets of
ecstasy at the Washington-British Columbia border part of an increasing new
smuggling problem. "The new trend we're seeing up in western Washington coming
down from British Columbia is a rise in ecstasy over the last few years. It's
just grown in leaps and bounds," U.S. officials are working with the RCMP to
see if the drugs are being manufactured in Canada or being trans-shipped
through Canada from other countries. U.S. officials referred questions
about what is being done to combat that problem in Canada to the RCMP.
The RCMP could not be reached for comment Friday
afternoon."
nor for that matter the last many months
on the same
subject..
