CANADIAN CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT civilrightsmovement.ca Media Advisory Re: Mounties aim to block inquiry from finding misconduct – June 8, 2009 Reported by Canadian Press – Braidwood Inquiry The attempts of the RCMP officers and their lawyers to block the Braidwood Inquiry from making possible findings of misconduct against the officers is nothing more than an arrogant and cynical ploy to delay and sideline the Inquiry. The primary objective of justice is to find the truth and to do it openly. These maneuvers are intended to undermine the Inquiry Terms of Reference, gut the public function of fact-finding, and render the Inquiry meaningless. They are also intended to gridlock the Inquiry process and manufacture delay. Justice delayed is justice denied! The Inquiry has a limited function in our system. It does not exercise a prosecutorial function. The incomprehensible and flawed decision of the Criminal Justice Branch to not recommend criminal charges against the officers raises serious questions about the integrity and competence of the prosecutorial role. This occurred despite widespread public knowledge of misleading and false statements by the RCMP contradicted by public disclosure of the Paul Pritchard video. The public then heard more contradictory evidence from the officers at the Inquiry. Public confidence in the investigation and administration of justice in British Columbia requires a re-opening of the investigation that is truly impartial and a special independent prosecutor to determine the matter according to the criminal law. This is essential to restore public confidence in the integrity of investigation, prosecutorial function and equal application of the law – a fundamental aspect of rule of law. The Inquiry by Justice Braidwood must be allowed to continue its work unfettered in order to perform its public function and mandate. The public must know who is funding these wasteful and diversionary legal tactics by the RCMP and their lawyers? They were the beneficiaries of a flawed system which has thus far permitted them to avoid criminal charges. They now seek to essentially curtail the Inquiry and render it a shell of a process. It is time for real leadership from government. We urge Premier Campbell to restore public confidence by directing the Minister of the Crown to re-open the investigation into the death of Robert Dziekanski at YVR and that the Ministry of Attorney General utilize its pre-existing policy and appoint a Special Independent prosecutor to examine the matter properly. As for the Inquiry, Justice Braidwood ought to be permitted to render his duty and meet the mandate of the Inquiry unfettered by the diversionary tactics of the RCMP legal team. This abuse and manipulation can be stopped by controlling the money supply and restricting it for genuine purposes and not wasteful tactics. The RCMP team is abusing the system and public resources. It is time for real accountability. For more information please contact: B.
