   JCT: Donald Cote's Motion Record was filed in Montreal today   
   asking the case management judge for the usual telephonic   
   hearing. This is the most incredible story about how Health   
   Canada gets to reject almost two/thirds of all applications,   
   how they rejected 92% in November 2017! You know 92% of the   
   applicants didn't screw up their name, birthdate, address so   
   how could so many be rejected? Here's the Affidavit of his   
   Facts!   
      
   File No: T-377-18   
                          FEDERAL COURT   
   BETWEEN:   
                           DONALD COTE   
                                                      Applicant   
                               and   
                      HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN   
                                                     Respondent   
      
   1. On June 29, 2017, Application #1 of Donald Cote was   
   submitted.   
      
   2. On July 21 2017 Health Canada rejected the original   
   signature on the medical document as not original.   
   (Defendant's Written Representations in Response.)   
      
   JCT: Got that, it's in the Crown's own response.   
      
   3. On Sep 5 2017, Application #2 with another original   
   medical document was submitted.   
      
   4. On Dec 8 2017, after four months without Health Canada   
   having processed the Sep 5 Application #2, Plaintiff's site   
   was busted and Application #3 to amend the site address was   
   submitted.   
      
   5. Ex. A of the Affidavit of Benoit Seguin dated March 9   
   2018 with the Jan 3 2018 Health Canada rejection of the Dec   
   8 Amended Site Application for non original signatures, the   
   second time.   
      
   JCT: So Ex.A of the Crown's Record shows that his   
   application was rejected for non-original signatures a   
   second time.   
      
   JCT: His second Application and again same reason to say no.   
      
   6. On Feb 20, Health Canada agent #A242 suggests filing the   
   application in blue ink would be more original.   
      
   7. On Feb 26, a Statement of Claim T-377-18 that the process   
   is taking too long is filed.   
      
   8. On Feb 27, a Motion for interim remedy is filed.   
      
   9. On Mar 5, Application #4 is submitted in blue ink.   
      
   10. On March 12, Defendant informs the Court that the   
   medical practitioner was a chiropractor not qualified to   
   sign.   
      
   JCT: So that nixed Application #3 for wrong doctor.   
      
   11. Ex. 1 is the March 13 Health Canada rejection of the   
   blue ink Application #4 as not original signatures, third   
   time.   
      
   JCT: So the Rejection letter indicating non-original   
   signatures was his first exhibit. Added to the two   
   rejections in the Crown's Response, that's 3 times! Even   
   though it had been the wrong doctor, it was still another   
   rejected for non-original signature.   
      
   12. On Mar 27, with a new medical document from a qualified   
   medical practitioner dated Mar 19, Application #5 was   
   submitted.   
      
   13. On Apr 5, 9 days later, a second Statement of Claim T-   
   684-18 was filed.   
      
   14. On Apr 20, 2 weeks later, a Motion for interim relief   
   was filed.   
      
   15. On Apr 23, Brown J. gave the Canada until May 2 to   
   respond.   
      
   16. Ex. 2 is the Apr 24 rejection of Application #5 because   
   of not original signatures, fourth time.   
      
   JCT: Imagine, 10 months trying and 3 previous rejections for   
   non-original signatures and they rejected him again for the   
   same reason. His second exhibit is his fourth such rejection!   
      
   18. On May 1, despite having returned Donald Cote's   
   application as incomplete, the Crown alerts the Court that   
   Health Canada has issued Donald Cote's Certificate MCR-61467   
   which mootens the May 2 hearing.   
      
   19. Ex. 3 is a picture of Donald Cote dated June 6 2018 with   
   his ACMPR Registration Certificate MCR-61467 and his   
   application for it that was rejected and returned as   
   incomplete.   
      
               APPLICANT'S WRITTEN REPRESENTATIONS   
      
   1. After having had applications for a Registration   
   Certificate to produce marijuana with original signatures   
   rejected four (4) times as non-original signatures,   
   Defendant Health Canada nevertheless granted the Applicant a   
   Registration Certificate MCR-61467 without possessing the   
   application form.   
      
   2. In case the Registration Certificate is not valid   
   without a completed application, Applicant seeks an Order   
   granting:   
      
   1) a personal constitutional exemption to continue growing   
   marijuana pursuant to the conditions in the ACMPR   
   Registration Certificate MCR-61467 until the Health Canada   
   delivers the needed Registration, or, in the alternative,   
      
   2) an extension of Applicant's Registration Certificate   
   MCR-61467 until the submitted original medical document is   
   processed as valid;   
      
   3) an Order of Mandamus that Health Canada do its duty to   
   process the application for the Registration Certificate   
   MCR-61467 based on the original medical document submitted   
   as valid as soon as it is returned to Health Canada.   
      
   JCT: Wild story, right. Remember, who's going to prove their   
   weren't right about the signatures, except Art Jackes who   
   has his original to show the court in his case, and now   
   Donald and Nicole.   
      
   Remember, last week, Nicole Van Edig filed exactly the same   
   kind of motion. After stalls and delays, like Donald, she   
   had filed a motion for hearing on her day of expiry! They   
   delivered it to her two days before so Wendy could argue the   
   hearing had been mooted. But they didn't have her   
   application, they'd sent it back. So why would they issue   
   her permit when they didn't have her application, only a   
   motion hanging over their heads?   
      
   Same now with Donald. They delivered his permit 2 days   
   before his hearing to mooten it and they too did not have   
   his application completed in their possession. They'd sent   
   it back. So why would they issue his permit when they didn't   
   have his application, only a motion hanging over their   
   heads?   
      
   So who thinks Judge Brown is going to have as tough time   
   accepting that rejections of originals as "non-original" is   
   the only probable reason for the incredibly high number of   
   rejections? Unless he thinks people are stupid enough to not   
   send originals despite it saying to do so, or stupid enough   
   to now know their name, birthdate and address correctly?   
      
   So after making the case in our Response which the Crown has   
   asked the Court not to consider, we get to show him a most   
   egregious example of that abuse, not just probably abuse. If   
   they can have gotten it wrong for one guy 4 times, think   
   they may have gotten it wrong for others too?   
      
   So, nice to have this one on Judge Brown's desk showing a   
   quadruple abuse of which others have already complained that   
   explains high rejection stats and the second time they issue   
   a permit without a completed application in hand to duck a   
   court hearing.
