|    TURMEL: Art Jackes' "Originals Rejected"    |
|    18 Dec 18 17:59:34    |
      From: johnturmel@gmail.com              TURMEL: Art Jackes' "Originals Rejected" appeal Memorandum               JCT: Art was a Plaintiff seeking damages for delay of permit        not on the grounds of short-staffing but on the grounds they        wasted time by rejecting an original for being not-original.               Judge Brown dismissed his "rejected for no good reason"        claim. Art appealed seeking to have the damages for delay        due to faulty verification procedures put back on the docket        below with the other 250 seeking damages for delay.               File No: A-294-18       FCC: T-1654-17         FEDERAL COURT OF APPEAL       BETWEEN:         Arthur Jackes         Appellant        And        Her Majesty The Queen        Respondent                      APPELLANT'S MEMORANDUM               PART I - STATEMENT OF FACTS               1. The Appellant appeals to the Federal Court of Appeal from        the Aug 28 2018 Order of Federal Court Justice Brown in the        action in T-1564-17.               2. Plaintiff sought a declaration that delaying his        application to amend Plaintiff's ACMPR permit Number MCR:        16335 for over 13 weeks by rejecting the originality of        signatures in black ink and suggesting a new application be        signed in blue ink when Licensed Producer Security Clearance        Applicants are prohibited from using blue ink is an        unconstitutional violation of the patient's S.7 Right to        Life by willful delay not in accordance with the principals        of fundamental justice.              3. Appellant's Ex. A was a copy of the Application to Amend        his ACMPR permit MCR-16355.               4. Appellant's Ex. B was the Health Canada response        rejecting the application for alleged lack of original        signatures.              5. Appellant's Ex. C was his return letter explaining he        knew all pages had to be original and included the        application with a note beside each signature indicating it        was original.              6. Appellant's Ex. D was the Health Canada response again        rejecting the application for alleged lack of original        signatures and the suggestion that the disagreement as to        the veracity of the signatures could be minimized by using a        pen with blue ink.               7. Appellant's Ex. E was from the Health Canada web page        "Instructions for Completion of Security Clearance Form        Under the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes        Regulations (ACMPR) which mandated using black ink.              8. Appellant's Ex. F was a post by Jeff Harris stating on        Oct 26 at 12:17PM his and his wife's applications had been        accepted in black ink.               9. On Aug 28 2018, the Court ruled:         AND CONSIDERING the Plaintiff only alleges, which         allegations must be accepted as true, that he applied to         register for personal use or designated production under         the ACMPR, which application was returned to him because         the signature was deemed not to be original, that         thereafter, the Plaintiff was informed that submission         of a new application would result in the application         being treated at a higher priority and that it was         recommended to him that he use a blue ball-point pen         when filling out the application to minimize         disagreement as to the veracity of the signatures, but         that the instructions for completing the relevant Health         Canada form made it mandatory to complete the form in         black ink, not blue ink;               AND CONSIDERING that section 7 of the Charter,Part I of         the Constitutional Act, 1982, being Schedule B to the         Canada Act 1982 (UK) 1982, c 11 Charter "does not         protect against insignificant or trivial limitations of         rights" per Cunningham v. Canada [1993] 2 SCR 143 at         151, recently applied by this Court in Johnson v. Canada         (AG) 2018 FC 582 at para. 37;                AND BEING OF THE VIEW that the recommendation made to         the Plaintiff that he use a blue ball-point pen was, in         the first place, only a suggestion and not a         requirement, and that it is plain and obvious this         suggestion did not constitute a violation of Charter-        protected rights, and if it did, such violation would be         trivial such that it is plain and obvious that the         Plaintiff has no chance of success,                THEREFORE, THE JUDGMENT OF THE COURT is that:         1. This action is dismissed without leave to amend.         2. There is no order as to costs.               10. Health Canada has also rejected original signatures from        other applicants for non-original signatures including        Donald Cote four times. T-377-18, T-684-18.               11. It's a small but sleazy way to stall patients getting        their medicine. "Though a pin-prick may be only a pin-prick,        a series of pin-pricks creates a wound."               12. In dismissing my claim for damages for the delay        caused by their false rejection, the court is letting them        get away with doing it to possibly thousands of others.        11,500 rejected applicants in 6 months did not get their        names, addresses or birthdates wrong. And having a medical        permit delayed over 3 months on false premises with expiry        and penal sanctions looming is not a trivial nor        insignificant violation of the patient's rights.                13. Though other plaintiffs in the 270 actions case-managed        by Justice Brown claim damages for delays in rejection due        to non-originality, I just happen to have caught Health        Canada red-handed and called them out but they were let go        because the pin-prick to me was deemed too trivial.               PART II - POINTS IN ISSUE               14. Is Health Canada rejecting medical applications on false        claims of non-originality too insignificant or trivial a        limitation of rights to invoke the protection of the Charter        S.7. and ask this court to consider the wound.               15. If the violation alleged was not due to the right of        Appellant not to use blue ink but due to the delay caused by        the improper rejection of original signatures as not        original, should Health Canada be made to justify their        decision and explain how many applications were at some        point rejected for not being original without any forensic        investigation done on the document.               PART III - SUBMISSION              HEALTH CANADA MARKET DATA               16. The Market-Data page at Health Canada provides useful        information.        https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/drugs-       health-products/medical-use-marijuana/licensed-       producers/market-data.html         This information is collected under the Access to         Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations, which         replaced the Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations               [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
