Place of Hearing:

Vancouver, B.C.

[1] THE COURT: This is the second in a series of applications by the defence for the disclosure of third party records. The application relates to the records of the Executive Cabinet. The application was filed on June 11, 2009, in response to an order I made on March 12, 2009, requiring that the application that was then presently before the Court be narrowed and defined.

[2] The present application reads as follows:

1. That all records, documents and information, including information in electronic form (collectively "the Records") held in any office, storage facility or repository by or on behalf of:

a. the Office of the Premier located in Victoria and Vancouver, particularly the records of Premier Gordon Campbell, Martyn Brown, Mike Morton, Lara Dauphinee, Ken Dobell, Brenda Eaton, Cynthia Haraldsen, Jay Schlosar, Dave Cunningham, Neil Sweeney, Tom Syer and Jessica McDonald;

b. the Public Affairs Bureau, particularly Stuart Chase;

c. the Ministry of Finance, particularly the records of Minister Gary Collins, Paul Taylor, Chris Trumpy, Dave Morhart, and Yvette Wells;

d. the Ministry of Transportation, particularly the records of Judith Reid, Minister Kevin Falcon, and Dan Doyle;

e. the Ministry of the Attorney General, particularly the records of Geoff Plante, Allan Seckel, and Rob Lapper;

f. the Ministry of the Solicitor General, particularly the records of Minister Coleman and Assistant Deputy Minister Kevin Begg;

g. the Ministry of Education, particularly the records of Minister Christy Clark and Ministerial Assistant Kim Haakstad;

h. the Ministry of Advanced Education, particularly the records of Minister Shirley Bond; and

i. the Ministry of Energy and Mines, particularly the records of Minister Richard Neufeld;

which relate to the divestiture of BC Rail Freight Division (hereinafter "BC Rail") and the proposed divestiture of the Roberts Bank Port Subdivision (hereinafter "Roberts Bank") and the bidding process related to same, including but not limited to the BC Rail Steering Committee and the BC Rail Evaluation Committee. The applicants seek such records during the time period from June 5, 2001 to the present;

(ii) the selection of, and duties assigned to Ministerial and Executive Assistants and, in particular, all records relating to efforts of Ministerial and Executive Assistants to influence public opinion through the media with regard to Provincial Government policies or initiatives. The applicants seek such records during the time period of June 5, 2001 to the present;

(iii) the strategy policy and any related decision-making pertaining to the influencing, gauging or monitoring of public opinion through the media and other public forums. The applicants seek such records during the time period of June 5, 2001 to the present;

(vi) public opinion polling reports, including those provided by the B.C. Liberal Party to the Executive Branch of Government, including the Executive Council and the Office of the Premier which pertain to public opinion on transportation, finance and budget surplus and deficit issues, and further, including but not limited to the divestiture of BC Rail and the balancing of the provincial budget. The applicants seek such records during the time period of June 5, 2001 to the present;

(v) the provision by the Executive Branch of Government to Members of Cabinet and their Ministerial and Executive Assistants of cellular telephones, Blackberries, computers and other personal digital assistants, email accounts and other communication devices. The applicants seek such records during the time period of June 5, 2001 through to the cessation of employment of the individuals named at paragraph 1(a) through (i) above, with the Executive Council;

(vi) the provision by the B.C. Liberal Party to Cabinet Ministers and their Ministerial and Executive Assistants of cellular telephones, Blackberries, computers and other personal digital assistants, email accounts and other communication devices. The applicants seek such records during the time period of June 5, 2001 through to the cessation of employment of the individuals named at paragraph 1(a) through (i) above, during the same period of June 5, 2001 through to the cessation of the individuals' employment with the Executive Council;

(vii) any communications between Cabinet Ministers and their Ministerial and Executive Assistants and lobbyists Brian Kieran, Eric Bornmann, Jamie Elmhirst, and their companies, including but not limited to Pilothouse, Kieran Consulting, Pacific Public Affairs, K&E Consulting and their respective staff. The applicants seek such records during the time period of June 5, 2001 through to the cessation of the employment of individuals named at paragraph 1(a) through (i) above, with the Executive Council;

(viii) the acceptance or receipt of any gift or benefit by a Cabinet Minister, Ministerial Assistant or Executive Assistant, including but not limited to:

(1) Vancouver Canucks tickets or seating in private boxes;

(2) B.C. Lions tickets or seating in private boxes;

(3) the use of any facilities at General Motors Place;

(4) tickets or admittance to the Cirque de Soleil; and

(5) Famous Players "Big Card".

The applicants seek such records during the time period of June 5, 2001 through the cessation of the employment of the individuals named at paragraph 1(a) through (i) above with the Executive Council;

be produced to this Honourable Court for review pursuant to the procedures set out in R. v. O'Connor, [1995] 4 S.C.R. 411 (S.C.C.).

2. An Order that such portions of the said Records that this Honourable Court may find likely relevant to an issue at the trial of this matter be produced to the applicants.

[3] The factual matrix for this application and the legal principles applicable are set out in R. v. Basi, June 30, 2009, 2009 BCSC 907, in relation to the third party records of the Members of the Legislative Assembly. I need not repeat them here. This decision should be read in conjunction with that decision.

[4] This is stage one of the O'Connor application. At this point the defence only needs to show that the documents sought are likely relevant to the case before the Court and then the documents will be produced to me. The threshold is low and the defence need not specify the use to which the document may be put (see R. v. McNeil, 2009 SCC 3; 301 D.L.R. (4th) 1). At this stage, I am not dealing with whether the documents still exist or have been destroyed.

[5] This application is similar in wording to the application brought for production of the records of the Members of the Legislative Assembly. Although broadly worded, the records sought, I am told, are emails.

[6] The essence of the charges against the accused is that they accepted gifts from lobbyists Brian Kieran, Eric Bornmann and Jamie Elmhirst, their companies, including Pilothouse, Kieran Consulting, Pacific Public Affairs, K&E Consulting, and their respective staff. When I refer to the lobbyists, it is this group to which I refer. They are also charged with allegations of leaking confidential documents to the lobbyists, again in exchange for gifts and promises of employment.

[7] The charges, and in particular the fraud charges, are broadly worded and encompass a potentially large factual matrix.

[8] The defence says that if they accepted gifts, (which is denied), then it was in the ordinary course of business for Government. I pause to say that I am not commenting on the validity of any defence at this point. Further, the defence says that if Government documents were leaked to the lobbyists, then someone else leaked them. Finally, anything that the accused before the Court did was at the direction of their "political Masters", a term that remains undefined. I assume that it refers to the Minister for whom each worked, as well as the Office of the Premier.

[9] Part of the background for the defence is the contention by the defence that CN Rail was always going to be the successful bidder for BC Rail and that the accused were directed to make efforts to keep OmniTrax in the bidding process to ensure that the bidding process looked legitimate. The lobbyists worked for OmniTrax. This allegation, which has been supported to a degree by documents suggesting that other proponents were concerned about the fairness of the bidding process, makes the process leading up to the sale of BC Rail relevant, including the core review. Further, it is alleged that OmniTrax was to be the successful proponent in the sale of Roberts Bank Port Subdivision (“Roberts Bank”) as a consolation prize for staying in the BC Rail bidding process. Mr. Virk and Mr. Basi are charged with fraud in relation to the Roberts Bank bidding process. As a result, this brings into focus the relevance of the documents relating to the proposed sale of Roberts Bank.

[10] The Crown concedes that any email communication between the lobbyists and Christy Clark, Richard Neufeld, Gary Collins, Judith Reid and Paul Taylor are likely relevant. The Crown submits that the rest of the application should be dismissed.

[11] The defence point to a number of emails which it received from BC Rail to or from a number of Government officials, both elected and non-elected, which were not received by the defence as a result of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, R.S.B.C. 1996, c. 165 [FOI] process. This point is well taken. In spite of what appear to be extensive and lengthy efforts by the Government officials to comply with the FOI request, a number of records were not uncovered.

[12] It is important to understand the thrust of the defence in relation to the fraud counts, and that is the question of whether the bidding process was not legitimate from the outset. As noted, there is some documentation which suggests that others were concerned about the same thing.

[13] Thus, documents in relation to the divestiture of BC Rail and the process affecting Roberts Bank will meet the low threshold established in O'Connor and recently affirmed in McNeil. There is evidence filed to support the request for emails on this point from the following people: Premier Gordon Campbell, Martyn Brown, Mike Morton, Lara Dauphinee, Ken Dobell, Brenda Eaton, Dave Cunningham, Tom Syer, Jessica McDonald and Jay Schlosar. There is not a sufficient basis to order the production of the records of Cynthia Haraldsen and Neil Sweeney.

[14] Further, in relation to the divestiture of BC Rail and the sale of Roberts Bank with respect to the Ministry of Finance, there is a sufficient evidentiary basis to find that the emails of Gary Collins, Paul Taylor, Chris Trumpy, Dave Morhart and Yvette Wells are also likely relevant. Mr. Collins was the Minister of Finance at the time and involved in the sale. Chris Trumpy was on the Evaluation Committee and many of his emails have already been produced through BC Rail. Mr. Morhart was also on the Evaluation Committee and advised the police that he retained thousands of his emails. The police did not seek to recover the emails at that time. Ms. Wells has already produced a number of documents through the FOI process, and if she has emails on this subject they also meet the threshold test of likely relevant. Mr. Taylor was the Deputy Finance Minister at the time and was apparently a friend or neighbour of Brian Kieran.

[15] With respect to the Ministry of Transportation, Ms. Reid was the Minister of Transportation at the time of the sale and the Minister who was thought to be in charge of the sale of BC Rail. This concept is challenged with some support. In any event, any email communication by Ms. Reid regarding the divestiture of BC Rail and the sale of Roberts Bank also meets the likely relevant standard. However, the same cannot be said for Mr. Falcon or Dan Doyle. The evidence is insufficient to show that either of these people would have emails that would be likely relevant to the matter before the Court.

[16] The records of the then Attorney General Geoff Plante, the Deputy Minister, Allan Seckel, and Robert Lapper are also sought. The evidence does not support a finding of likely relevance for these records. There is nothing in the documents to suggest that any of these three people communicated information by email that would be likely relevant to any issue before the Court.

[17] The defence also requests the emails of Solicitor General Rich Coleman and Assistant Deputy Minister Kevin Begg. The material filed shows the involvement of some degree by the Solicitor General and Mr. Begg in the search of the Legislature. The evidence supports the fact that any email communication by either of these two individuals relating to the search of the Legislature with anyone, including the RCMP, is also likely relevant.

[18] Ms. Clark was the Deputy Minister and may have expressed concern over the CN Rail dealing at a Cabinet meeting. Further, there is some evidence that indicates that she may have had some dealings with Pilothouse. Emails of Ms. Clark relating to the divestiture of BC Rail and the sale of the Roberts Bank, as well as any contact with Pilothouse, are likely relevant. However, there is insufficient foundation to order that emails of her assistant, Kim Haakstad, be produced.

[19] Ms. Bond and Mr. Neufeld both had significant interest in the BC Rail deal as part of the Northern Caucus and may have been lobbied by Pilothouse, thus any email relating to either the areas of the BC Rail and sale of Roberts Bank and Pilothouse are likely relevant.

[20] A number of documents were obtained by the defence from a news reporter who obtained them pursuant to an FOI request. These documents relate to the conduct of the Public Affairs Bureau of Government and the coverage of this case by Stuart Chase on behalf of the Public Affairs Bureau. Much was made of the fact that Mr. Chase was covering the applications in Court. However, nothing in the material suggests that Mr. Chase's conduct is likely relevant to the issues which will eventually be raised at trial. Simply because something is characterized as political does not make it relevant.

[21] The same may be said for the extensive requests by the defence for the Government's media policy and public opinion as set out in paragraphs 1(ii), (iii) and (iv). Whatever the Government's plan was with respect to the media and the public opinion has little, if anything, to do with the charges before the Court and the defences put forward.

[22] The defence also requests information regarding the supplying of electronic communication devices to Cabinet Ministers and their Assistants by either the Executive Branch of Government and the B.C. Liberal Party. There is insufficient evidence to support this request.

[23] In summary, the emails from the following persons in relation to the divestiture of BC Rail and the proposed sale of Roberts Bank are likely relevant:

the records of Premier Gordon Campbell, Martyn Brown, Mike Morton, Lara Dauphinee, Ken Dobell, Brenda Eaton, Jay Schlosar, Dave Cunningham, Tom Syer, Jessica McDonald, Gary Collins, Paul Taylor, Chris Trumpy, Dave Morhart, Yvette Wells, Judith Reid, Christy Clark, Shirley Bond and Richard Neufeld, but not Cynthia Haraldsen, Kevin Falcon, Dan Doyle, Kim Haakstad or Neil Sweeney. The dates within which these records are to be found likely relevant is the parameter of January 1, 2002, to December 31, 2004, for the same reason as stated in the MLA application.

[24] Likely relevance has not been established for the records of Stuart Chase from the Public Affairs Bureau.

[25] Likely relevance has not been established for Geoff Plante, Allan Seckel or Rob Lapper. Likely relevance has been established for the records of Rich Coleman and Kevin Begg from December 1 to December 31, 2003 in relation to the obtaining and execution of the search of the Legislature.

[26] The records of the following are likely relevant with respect to communications with Pilothouse: Christy Clark, Richard Neufeld, Gary Collins, Judith Reid, Paul Taylor and Shirley Bond.

[27] The remainder of the application is dismissed.

This morning when I gave these reasons I overlooked Premier Gordon Campbell’s emails, if any, with the lobbyists. These were found likely relevant on June 30, 2009, in his capacity as an MLA. I intended to include the emails as a member of the Executive Cabinet.

My apologies for writing so late, and in quick succession to you..... but


22] Madam Justice Bennett, in the "R. v Basi" 2007 BCSC 788, June 4, 2007 case referred to by counsel for Mr. Poloni also makes useful guiding remarks in paras. 25 and 26:

Important principles are stated in these decisions, some of which are particularly applicable to this case. The right of disclosure is a constitutionally protected right. The Crown is obliged to disclosure everything it has unless it is not relevant or is protected by privilege. Relevance is defined as the reasonable possibility that the information could be used to meet the Crown's case, advance a defence or make a decision which could affect the conduct of the defence.

Material in the possession of the police is deemed to be in the possession of the Crown for this purpose.

"The Crown is obliged to disclosure everything it has unless it is not relevant or is protected by privilege."
Source: http://www.provincialcourt.bc.ca/judgments/pc/2007/03/p07_0371.htm


N.V.G. concludes: The important thing here is that it's not up to a Ken Dobell or a Jessica MacDonald or a Lara Dauphinee to decide what is relevant or what is privileged. That's the Judge's decision.

- BC Mary.

Hello Mary,

I'm sure you've gone through YW notebook over at BC NDP headquarters

http://www.bcndpcaucus.ca/files/09FOI/Binder_4_Transportation/YW_Notebook_Part_1a.pdf,

but if you haven't, then I'm curious as to how the defense team has handled off-record instructions that were issued by Cabinet to their lawyers representing them in the sale of BC Rail...... BLG...... typo up top, I put in BLB. The fact that these seized documents haven't been blacked out seems to indicate that they are not privileged and therefore are relevant to case at hand.

The date is July 11, 2003 according to her note taking, its on page 23 in Adobe and the wording goes something like this for item #13: "Termination; Drop dead date; sign mid November" and then down at the bottom Cabinet???? are seeking strategy on how to handle the deal. It looks like YW thinks things are important when she scribbles an asterick and then puts a circle around the item

"may get BLG to have an off record disc. with Comp Beu."

Off record? No record? No lawyers' fee? at the other end, the Comp Beu, as well?

Page 25, top of page a note is written "23rd conference call"

I sure hope the police grabbed the telephone records as well.


Best Wishes,

N.V.G.

On August 6, 2009, N.V.G. adds June 30, 2009: Balance the budget ... ? Is that why BC Rail was sold?


[29] The defence further says that the sale of BC Rail was a broken election promise that the government undertook in order to balance the budget.

Comments:
Absolutely stunning. Thanks to NVG.Had no idea the extent of this order. Of course, MSM would not share this with us peasants. What happens when Ms. Bennett moves on to the Court of Appeal?
 
It took Justice Gomery to shine an open and transparent light on the Federal Liberal shenanigans in the Sponsorship Scandal who viewed themselves as being owed a "Culture of Entitlement" by Canadians.

Closer to home, British Columbia, a recent court case (follow link below) the Judge there has quoted from one of Madame Justice Bennett's decisions in the pre-trial for Basi/Virk/Basi:

"The Crown is obliged to disclosure everything it has unless it is not relevant or is protected by privilege."

Source: http://www.provincialcourt.bc.ca/judgments/pc/2007/03/p07_0371.htm


It appears that the arrogance that Premier Gordon Campbell, and those he has entrusted to run this province from the caves of the PAB, are no different than the Federal Liberals.

Madame Justice Bennett made her ruling on June 4, 2007 well before the Executive (read Cabinet) Council had the emails relevant to the BC Rail Trial segregated for disposal in early May of this year.

The lawyer for the Crown should have advised his clients of her ruling in 2007, instead, he waited and he gave the Court a lame duck excuse that the evidence had been, for all intent and purposes, tampered with!

Where is the Deputy Attorney General who needs to set things straight by appointing a Special Prosecutor so that justice may be done?
 
I have trouble understanding Copley's lame duck excuse in court that the emails were destroyed long ago. Was he given this information from someone in government? If so, by whom?
What was he feeling when he was given another excuse later on? and how does he feel now that it has been discovered that the order was given during an election, and not as he had originally been told?
Finally, there are a few lawyers these days firing their clients for discovered untruths.I wonder when the ship will sink enough for this to happen in this case?
 
For the most part I think Justice Bennett was right on the mark, however; I don't agree with her assessment of #22. If cabinet did give "electronic devices" to "assistants" and the BC Liberal Party, you can bet they were used for the highest of orders, knowing full well they weren't likely to be monitored by anyone.

Not too sure I agree with the Geoff Plante assessment either...but hey, 2 out of 27 is pretty darn good work!

Gary, if I were George Copley at the moment - I think I'd be tempted to take GC out behind the barn with a horsewhip. He's been made to look like a fool - something I don't believe the man deserves. Mind you, he has another option to regain his self-esteem... .

NVG - you're my hero for the week! A respectful tip 'o the hat to you Sir.
 
Leah,

"he has another option to regain his self-esteem" Are you referring to Gordo? He has been micro-managing ever since he entered politics.
"he's been made to look like a fool--something I don't believe
the man deserves"
Again, are you referring to Gordie? Either you are with the PAB or you are living like a mushroom, in the dark.
 
Easy, 12:36,

Leah is obviously referring to George Copley who, I understand, has a long and honourable legal career behind him now.

Copley is only recently retired, so I'd agree with Leah that he (Copley) doesn't deserve to be made to look like a feel. And yes, he does have another option ...
 
Leah,

I agree; don't know if you know it, but George retired years ago. He has NOTHING else in his life but his work and that's why he hasn't quit and keeps on propping up these assholes..he must be at least 68 or 69 by now.

One of these mornings he may just wake up and decide that the reputation he had as a dedicated civil servant and professional is in danger of being trashed forever.
 
I have to say this, I'm not a handwriting expert, but after dipping into the cold surface of the 8,000 pages of FOI documents, over at NDP headquarters website, on this long hot weekend, I'd much prefer reading the type written stuff than YW's scribbles that pull at the emotional heart strings as it were the draft script for the "English Patient".

Remember?

There's always a line from some famous work that makes you perk up and know exactly where you first heard it. I would have thought that a word such as "FILTER" would have been mentioned by others, like Public Eye Online, or The Hook, or over at Mr. T, especially if that word "filter" was directly linked to the acronym of FOI and Privacy Acts. But who knows, maybe the idea of grabbing 8,000 pages of FOI requests was to grab a headline or two.

YW takes particular care in emphasizing that which is important, not only for what she has to do, but for those that she has to work with.

At the very bottom of page 23 there is this comment, highlighted with a circle around the letter X, like this marks the spot. Is the word "fraelsing document" or "trading document" or "falsifying document"? I'll settle for the last word to be document and leave the rest up to others to decipher.

I accidently clicked my little grey mouse and ended up on page 36 where the talk is about "subdividing lands owned by BCRC for railway purposes - only the most significant parcels containing large a read of non-rail lands would be s....??... to be sold, provision."

"Similar to S. 99/114 of Land Title Act the provision would enable BCRC to use a statute r-of-w plan (or 2 reference plan if necessary) to create from scheduled lands, a new parcel or parcels for any portion of the property for railway purposes may not occur at same time - some fore difficult to resolve" etc.......

On page 39, top, "2 shipper advisor contracts" Attn: Dan Doyle, Sharon Mojpey???? - preferred contract format ......... bill BC Rail."

On page 41 of 72 - "no sand bag warranty - controversial - if they find something out they'll have ..."

********************************

For those who are unaware of the term sandbag warranty:

sandbagging defined:-
From Urban dictionary:

When a player in any game chooses (on purpose) to not play their best. Normally this is because they are too superior, they want to hustle you, or they are too lazy to play their best with nothing on the line.

or

sandbagging

In corporate sales: when reps report a much lower deal opportunity than actually exists. reps do this so that if the deal doesn't go through they don't look as bad and so at the end of the quarter when the company has to make their number the rep isn't selected to perform a high pressure last minute sales job. *************************************************************************

Hmmmmm

And then this from YW notes: Page 41

"documentation - go now w. these w. the public - fall back is to rely on the filter of FOIPPA."


Damn! Filter, the BC Liberal govenment actually see the FOI as a filter?


I wonder how the Courts see it?
 
Hi Anon 12:36...I was indeed referring to Mr. Copley, who truly did/does not deserve to be where he was placed by this government. LOL...you must be relatively new to the blog, or you'd know what I think of the Campbell government. Not PAB, not a mushroom. :)

Gary, it's sad to see a man of his stature reduced to this - I'm at odds with how I feel about him. He obviously knows now that the government he so admires is a lie built upon lies - yet he continues to defend them at the detriment of his own honor and integrity. When most civil servants retire they do so knowing they've done their best, and given their best which I'm sure he did all those years. It's truly unfortunate that he'll be remembered more for his role in this (to date) than for anything else in his working past. Though it's my feeling he should dump them all on their collective arses, and tell everything he knows, I'm sure it's something he'd not even consider. Too bad his integrity will be stripped by those not fit to tie his shoes.
 
I agree Leah.
On one of the occasions where I actually made it to the coast I got close to the man. He is one of those people who you would recognize as someone who would take their job seriously, as most lawyers do. But Copely seemed more so. That's why the question has been nagging me. If these people (the campbell minions) are using this man it's a damn shame.

Cheers-Eyes Wide Open
 
By Jove, P.R.P.,

Nice work.
 
And they wonder why people become cynical and totally distrustful of ANY politician?!

This "celebration" is the very definition of cynicism as far as I'm concerned. To say nothing of ignorance, and arrogance.
 
And why I believe I`m right,it`s open from 1pm til 9pm.....

Free of charge for people to try out.......

The golden ears bridge they opened it for a party on a sunday.....

How many people can try the skytrain for free on a monday,don`t people work?Don`t you think if they could open it up they would have the sunday as a freebie,and rhen open it up for regular commute on mondat morning ....

When it could run it`s regular hours....5.30 am til 1.30 am

I read Campbell like a book,an evil lying book!
 
This is frightning, and what is even worse is the virtual silence on this case and its surrounding delays from our big media outlets,I dont mean allude to criminal intent here but my god how bad does it have to be!!!when are we going to hear about charges with regards to tampering with evidence this is outright corruption and so many people who followed orders.. good god what have we become in this province.
