Guy Saint-Pierre and his election to the
Order of Canada in 1992. I objected to it, in writing, but it had already been
decided - behind closed doors.
In the Globe and Mail
of June 25th 1992, Guy Saint Pierre s then‑forthcoming Order of Canada award
was announced. This and other Order of Canada investitures were set for October
21st 1992.
A complaint by me to Beryl Gaffney, M.P. for Nepean and Allan Khoury, M.P. for Hochelaga‑Maisonneuve, produced no
action. Both were provided with full documentation; it
subsequently transpired that M.P.s are not allowed to do anything about the
questionable corporate behaviours
already referred to.
A subsequent complaint by me to both Governor-General
Ray Hnatyshyn and to the Chairman of the Advisory
Council on Awards ‑ The Right Honourable
Antonio Lamer, who was also Chief Justice of the Supreme court of Canada ‑ also produced no action because the whole awards
process was done behind closed doors with no opportunity for objection from
members of the public with legitimate reasons for making them. Again, both
these people were provided with full documentation. The position was clear from
this reply to me from Gordon Lewis - Director,
Honours - dated October 14th 1992.
The lawyers who acted for me against SNC and won my
case (in 1991) also could not do anything ‑ because it was a political matter,
as shown by the letter to me from William I. Miller, Q.C.,
dated September 14th 1992. The law firm may also
have been concerned about possible trouble with Chief Justice Antonio Lamer ‑
who also sat on the Disciplinary Committee of the Quebec Bar Association, in
addition to being Chairman of the Advisory Council on Awards which recommended
Guy Saint-Pierre s award.
On November 17th 1992, I wrote to Beryl Gaffney, M.P. for Nepean, again ,
complaining about this state of affairs and pointing out other indications
of conflict-of interest and corruption. Again, however, Beryl Gaffney took no
action at all and gave me no guidance whatsoever as to what should be done to
stop the corruption that was clearly going on.
(EX. P 04)
On February 4th 1993, I wrote one more time to Beryl Gaffney,, this time -
among other things - showing how the
SNC business was making it impossible for me to even access any retraining,
apart from anything else. One of the other things that I pointed out was my
efforts to solicit help as far back as 1983 from my then-M.P. in Montreal who
proved to be none other than Prime Minister P.E. Trudeau. There were also four
questions for then-Minister for Immigration and Employment Bernard Valcourt
In her reply dated March 9th 1993, Beryl Gaffney again took no action at all and gave me no guidance whatsoever as to what should be done to stop the corruption that was clearly going on. Quote from the letter:-
There were really four major questions in your February 4th letter
that you wanted me to ask of the
Minister. To be honest with you,
I felt all were out of line for
me as a Member of Parliament to ask
another.
This was just a blatant case of
allowing protocol, or what is known as political correctness, to be the reason for not asking
questions of the Minister – in private or in public – and hence doing nothing
to solve the problem. Political correctness in any form has no business here. PERIOD!
THEN SHE SAYS,
Try not to be too discouraged with
your lack of employment. Something will come your
way.
Well, it never did – right up to 2011. Nothing ever works in Canada –
because Canada is a nation of liars who INTEND that nothing will work for
people out of work.
The reader is left to make his / her own judgements about the morality of all
this.
One
question: what will prospective immigrants to Canada think about this sort of
thing, and how everybody ignored it in order to cover up the questionable
behaviours involved?
