Re: Parker v. HMQ; Turmel-Paquette v HMQ;

Dear Ms. Goela :

I have received no reply to my last letter about the wording
of the Lederman Appeal order we will need for our leave
applications to the Supreme Court of Canada. I explained
that I wanted the wording in the order to reflect the issue
we were appealing against: "the marihuana prohibition in s.
4 is no longer inconsistent with the provisions of the
Constitution and prohibition is now no longer invalid, but
is of full force and effect."

P.E.I. Justice Matheson in the Queen v. Stavert also notes
this is the gist of the Court of Appeal decision:

"[16] The effect of the Hitzig decision from the Ontario
Court of Appeal is to create a constitutionally valid
medical exemption for marihuana users to s.4 of the CDSA,
thus making s.4 of the CDSA constitutionally valid and in
full force and effect. Having found that the MMAR had not
created a constitutionally valid medical exemption to s.4 by
July 31 2001, the Parker declaration was effective and there
was no prohibition against possession of marijuana under s.4
of the CDSA from July 31 2001 to Oct 2003."
http://www.canlii.org/pe/cas/pesctd/2003/2003pesctd85.html
I find the reticence of the Crown to include the prime issue
in Order objectionable. It seems pretty clear to Justice
Matheson that the point of the decision was that "the
marihuana prohibition in s. 4 is no longer inconsistent with
the provisions of the Constitution and prohibition is now no
longer invalid, but is of full force and effect."

JCT: I suggested using the actual words of the Ontario Court
of Appeal for the Order:

1. THIS COURT ORDERS...rendering the possession prohibition
in s.4 of the CDSA no longer inconsistent with the
provisions of the Constitution and prohibition is now no
longer invalid, but is of full force and effect.

JCT: If you don't approve of the way the Ontario Court of
Appeal put it, we could also substitute the wording of
Justice Matheson:

1. THIS COURT ORDERS...which renders a constitutionally
valid medical exemption for marihuana users to s.4 of the
CDSA, thus making s.4 of the CDSA constitutionally valid and
in full force and effect."

JCT: Anyway, Justice Matheson notes that the gist of the
decision is the re-enactment of the prohibition which should
be stated in the final Order. I can understand why Alan
Young and Paul Burstein would leave out the rebirth of the
law in their Hitzig Order but your suggested Order shouldn't
leave out what both Matheson J. and I feel is the gist of
the decision.

I'm not looking forward to having to waste my time
travelling to Toronto to explain to the Registrar why I want
the words on our order to reflect the same thing Justice
Matheson says is the effect of the court's decision. But I
need that Order soon and you're forcing me waste my time and
money. Even if the Registrar doesn't see the gist of the
case either, I'll use the court's 100-page decision with
only two lines highlighted for the Supreme Court and you can
bet I'll find some way to make the waste of time reflect on
you as the *** of all the jokes.

You have been treated civilly by me so far but I have to
keep in mind that you're one of the Crowns responsible for
wrongly advising the police to keep busting tens of
thousands of families while you were wrong between July 31
2001 and Oct 7 2003 (they say). Though there'll be nothing
personal in my challenging your motives for obstinacy, it
will be as vicious as you all deserve for what your efforts
have wrought and you know what I can do to you in debate.
Sure, I know wrongly busting all those people was not what
you wanted to do? No one wanted to improperly bust 100,000
people. But you were on the team that wrongly advised the
police to keep busting them. And you now know you all were
wrong. And now, you all, who should be penitent for your
errors, are going to be obstinate?

Give me the Order with the gist of the issue stated on it so
I can leave you Toronto Court of Appeal Crowns alone and
take up with the Ottawa Supreme Court Crowns.

Finally, I was joking about substituting PEI Justice
Matheson's interpretation over the actual words of our three
Ontario Appellate judges who said them. I'm going for the
actual words they used though I'll be sure to have the
Stavert ruling to help me deride you before the Registrar
for not seeing the same gist as me and the judge.

No more nice guy. Time to pass this along to Ottawa. Move on
it now.

John Turmel

P.S. If you prefer, I am asking Marc Paquette to consent to
the form and content of an Order with both our names in the
Style of Cause. The following two appended Orders would be
acceptable and will be proffered to the Registrar for
approval.

JCT: Marc, cut out the Order with both our names, chop it
into two pages, print it out in 2 pages, write "approved as
to form and content" somewhere on each page and then sign
under it and then fax it to me. I hope there's no
disagreement that the only point of objection is that the
court can't bring the two-year-repealed prohibition back to
life.
