   JCT: Heidi just showed me the letter from Jon Bricker with   
   the good news. Told she'd have to wait for normal   
   procedures on Feb 7, they got it out in 18 days.

   The Honourable Mr. Justice Brown   
      
   Dear Justice Brown:   
      
   RE: CHARTRAND, Heidi, v. Her Majesty The Queen (Turmel Kit)   
       COURT FILE NO: T-144-18   
      
   On behalf of the defendant, Her Majesty The Queen in Right   
   of Canada, I am writing to provide an update concerning the   
   plaintiff's outstanding motion for interlocutory relief.   
      
   By Responding Motion Record dated Feb 8 2018, Canada   
   requested that the plaintiff's motion be dismissed, with   
   costs, on the ground that the plaintiff had not met the test   
   for either an interlocutory injunction or an order in the   
   nature of mandamus.   
      
   I am advised by Health Canada that, subsequent to the filing   
   of Canada's responding motion record, Health Canada   
   completed its review of the plaintiff's application for   
   registration to produce cannabis for her personal medical   
   use, and granted the application confirming her registration   
   has been sent to the plaintiff via Express Post.   
      
   Yours truly,   
   Jon Bricker   
      
   JCT: They could have avoided this embarrassing hop-to-it if   
   they'd acted right after she had first filed a motion and   
   Judge Brown had given them more time. A week later, nothing,   
   she brought another motion. Again, they had a chance to hop-   
   to-it and avoid Heidi responding with yesterday's killer   
   shots. And now, a day later, we get the letter saying that   
   they'd gotten it done sometime earlier, not sure what date.   
   Heidi will know when she gets it and sees Effective Date.   
      
   Still, according to their records, they say they received it   
   Jan 26 2018 and got it out before Feb 16 2018. That would be   
   21 days, beating Waylon O'Reilly's 22 day renewal. And if   
   Effective date, is a few days earlier, knock off a few more.   
   Still, wasn't fast enough to avoid the Crown now being stuck   
   having to argue a motion is mooted again.   
      
   Since they have now complied for interim relief in   
   processing her permit, I think he's going to dismiss it as   
   mooted. I just don't see him awarding them costs from her   
   for them caving in under 3 weeks.   
      
   Tell me the squeaky wheel doesn't get the oil?
