|    TURMEL: Judge Laflamme summarily dismiss    |
|    26 Apr 18 11:40:06    |
      From: johnturmel@gmail.com              TURMEL: Judge Laflamme summarily dismisses Paquette Quash              JCT: Luc Paquette was back in Provincial Court of Quebec       before Judge Laflamme for his Quash Motion. I had prepared       an affidavit for him to use              PROVINCE OF QUEBEC COUR DU QUEBEC       DISTRICT OF GATINEAU (Criminal Chamber)       LOCALITE: GATINEAU       NO: 550-01-095970-168 Between        Applicant        Luc Paquette               -and-        Attorney General for Quebec        Respondent               AFFIDAVIT              I, Luc Paquette, make oath as follow:              1. None of the statements in the Applicant's Motion pursuant       to S.601 to quash any charges relating to cannabis are known       to be untrue. There are no personal facts relating to the       Accused other than that I face cannabis-related charges.              2. The non-constitutional motion relies on S. 5(3), 32(a) of       the Interpretation Act, as well as previous court judgments.              3. S.5(3) says that a provision that is declared of no force       and effect is deemed to be repealed.              4. S.32(a) states that where an enactment is repealed in       whole or in part, the repeal does not (a) revive an       enactment or thing not in force or existing immediately       before the time when the repeal takes effect.              5. On July 31 2000, the Ontario Court of Appeal ruled in R.       v. Parker that the prohibition on marijuana is invalid       absent a viable medical exemption for the sick.              6. On July 30 2001, the Marijuana Medical Access Regulations       "MMAR" were enacted to provide such exemption for the sick.              7. On Oct 7 2003, the Ontario Court of Appeal ruled in       Hitzig v. HMQ that the MMAR was not a viable medical       exemption. The Hitzig Court further ruled that its striking       down the flaws in the MMAR deemed to be repealed revived the       prohibition in the CDSA. The Court in R. v. J.P. quashed the       possession charge laid while the MMAR was deficient.              8. On Dec 3, 2003, 4,000 Possession charges were stayed       across Canada because of absence of valid exemption.              9. Parliament has not re-enacted the S.4 Possession       prohibition since it was invalidated in Parker.              10. Respondent will cite many courts that have disobeyed the       Interpretation Act which says that striking down something       in one act does not revive anything not in force in another       act and chose to obey the Hitzig decision that the Court had       revived the prohibitions in the CDSA by repealing the flaws       in the MMAR.              11. This Court has to decide whether to also disobey the       Interpretation Act in order to obey the Hitzig decision.              12. On Aug 24, 2016, once again in Allard v. HMQ, the       Marijuana for Medical Purposes Regulations "MMPR" were       declared entirely invalid.              13. Should the court choose to disobey Parliament's       Interpretation Act, the declaration of MMPR invalidity       should have the same effect on the Possession prohibition as       did the declaration of MMAR invalidity pursuant to the       Parker reasoning.              14. This Affidavit is made in support of a motion to quash       the Applicant's charges relating to cannabis, both       Possession and Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking, on       the grounds the prohibitions are no longer known to law       absent a viable exemption when the Accused was charged.       __________________________       Luc Paquette       Sworn before me at Gatineau on April 25 2018       A COMMISSIONER, ETC.              JCT: So, Judge Laflamme was told he would be disobeying the       Interpretation Act if he accepted that the Ontario Court of       Appeal had revived the prohibition. But he cited Superior       Court Justice David who has summarily dismissed the Quash       Motion for Nicola Fontana.              So if his Superior Court judge would dismiss it without       reading it, so could he.              As we thought, he was the Trial Judge! So the trial will now       take place on July 31 2018 in Gatineau.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
