   TURMEL: Cory Cockerell asks Court to plant before outdoor season over   
      
   JCT: Health Canada still jerking patients around. Cory   
   Cockerell said he had originally printed his name in the   
   signature box of his application, covered it with white-out,   
   and signed anew and it was rejected as an improper   
   signature!! He sent in a good signature and nothing happened   
   in almost 2 months. So:   
      
                                           File No: T-1094-19   
                          FEDERAL COURT   
      
   Between:   
                          Cory Cockerell   
                                                Plaintiff   
                               AND   
                      Her Majesty The Queen   
                                                Defendant   
                        STATEMENT OF CLAIM   
           (Pursuant to S.48 of the Federal Court Act)   
      
   1. The Plaintiff seeks   
      
   A) a declaration that the long processing time for   
   Production Registrations under the Cannabis Act &   
   Regulations violates the patient's S.7 Charter Right to   
   Life, Liberty, Security not in accordance with principles of   
   fundamental justice to not be arbitrary, grossly   
   disproportional, conscience-shocking, incompetent,   
   malevolent; and claims remedy in unspecified damages under   
   S.24 of the Charter in the amount of the value of the   
   Applicant's prescription and lost site rent and expenses   
   during any delay which this Court may rule inappropriate for   
   a reasonable processing time for Registrations for   
   medication.   
      
   THE PARTIES   
      
   2. The Plaintiff Possesses a Medical Document to use   
   cannabis for medical purposes under the Cannabis Act &   
   Regulations.   
      
   3. The Defendant, Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada,   
   as represented by the Attorney General of Canada, is named   
   as the representative of the Federal Government of Canada   
   and the Minister of Health for Canada who is the Minister   
   responsible for Health Canada and certain aspects of the   
   Controlled Drugs and Substances Act including the Cannabis   
   Act & Regulations.   
      
   FACTS   
      
   4. On April 16 2019, Plaintiff submitted an Application for   
   a Registration to grow cannabis for medical purposes. The   
   application was returned for a new signature as applicant   
   erroneously printed his name in the box and then covered it   
   with white-out before signing.   
      
   5. On May 16 2019, Plaintiff submitted a new page with a   
   clear signature. In almost 2 months, I have received no   
   response.   
      
   6. Under the MMAR, the time to process an application to   
   produce marijuana was touted before this Court by Dr.   
   Stephane Lessard, Controlled Substances and Tobacco   
   Directorate, as "done in under 4 weeks. Renewals far less."   
   Reported 2 weeks!   
      
   7. With only production Registrations to deal with, the   
   Cannabis Act & Regulations has no reason to take much longer   
   to process only these 10 data fields:   
   Name; Date of birth;   
   Daily quantity;   
   Possession limit;   
   Name of Health Care Practitioner;   
   Production area (outdoor);   
   Production site address;   
   Maximum number of plants outdoor;   
   Maximum storage Quantity;   
   Storage Address.   
      
   The Plaintiff proposes this action be tried in the   
   City of Ottawa, Province of Ontario.   
      
   Dated at Ottawa on July 8 2019

   Plaintiff Signature   
   Cory Cockerell   
      
                         NOTICE OF MOTION   
      
   TAKE NOTICE THAT on a date and time set by the Case   
   Management Judge Brown, the Applicant will make a motion by   
   teleconference to the Court, with leave of the judge to lift   
   any stay or on short notice if necessary.   
      
   THE MOTION IS FOR an Order granting Applicant interim relief   
      
   1) a personal constitutional exemption to start growing   
   marijuana pursuant to the conditions in the application   
   until the Health Canada processes the needed Registration,   
   or, in the alternative,   
   2) an Order of Mandamus that Health Canada immediately do   
   its duty by processing the requisite Registration.   
      
   THE GROUNDS FOR THE MOTION ARE that under the Harper MMAR,   
   the time to process an application to produce marijuana was   
   touted before this Court by Dr. Stephane Lessard, Controlled   
   Substances and Tobacco Directorate, as "done in under 4   
   weeks, and renewals, far less." Under the Cannabis Act &   
   Regulations, with only production Registrations to deal   
   with, there is no reason to take much longer. Plaintiff's   
   predicament is more acute because his permit is to grow   
   outdoors and the planting season is almost over and he will   
   lose his whole year's worth of production.   
      
               APPLICANT'S WRITTEN REPRESENTATIONS   
      
   1. In the case of Raymond Turmel T-977-13, the time to   
   process an application to produce marijuana under the MMAR   
   was touted by Dr. Stephane Lessard, Health Canada Controlled   
   Substances and Tobacco Directorate, as "done in under 4   
   weeks, and renewals, far less."   
      
   2. Given Applicant has waited 4 weeks to find out about an   
   objection, and almost 2 more months after submitting a   
   corrected ap placation, Applicant's claim seeks a   
   declaration that the long processing time for processing of   
   Cannabis Act & Regulations Production Registrations is an   
   unconstitutional violation of the S.7 Charter Right to Life,   
   Liberty and Security.   
      
   3. Applicant's Motion seeks interim relief:   
      
   1) a personal constitutional exemption to start growing   
   marijuana pursuant to the conditions in the application   
   until the Health Canada processes the needed Registration,   
   or, in the alternative,   
   2) an Order of Mandamus that Health Canada immediately do   
   its duty by processing the requisite Registration.   
   Dated at Ottawa on July 8 2019   
   For the Applicant:   
   Cory Cockerell   
      
   JCT: So first they rejected his application because his   
   signature was on top of white-out. Can't wait to hear them   
   explain why there was something wrong with that.   
      
   And now, almost two months after submitting a new signature,   
   nothing? How long to finish processing a form missing a   
   signature?
