    Date: 20090423 Docket: T-1228-08 Citation: 2009 FC 405 Vancouver, British Columbia, April 23, 2009 PRESENT: The Honourable Mr. Justice O'Reilly BETWEEN: OMAR AHMED KHADR Applicant and THE PRIME MINISTER OF CANADA, THE MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS, THE DIRECTOR OF THE CANADIAN SECURITY INTELLIGENCE SERVICE, AND THE COMMISSIONER OF THE ROYAL CANADIAN MOUNTED POLICE Respondents REASONS FOR JUDGMENT AND JUDGMENT [1] Mr. Omar Khadr, a Canadian citizen, was arrested in Afghanistan in July 2002 when he was 15 years old. He is alleged to have thrown a grenade that caused the death of a U.S. soldier. He has been imprisoned at Guantánamo Bay since October 2002 awaiting trial on serious charges: murder, conspiracy and support of terrorism. Page: 2 [2] Mr. Khadr challenges the refusal of the Canadian Government to seek his repatriation to Canada. He claims that his rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (sections 6, 7 and 12) have been infringed and seeks a remedy under s. 24(1) of the Charter. More particularly, Mr. Khadr asks me to quash the decision of the respondents not to seek his return to Canada and order the respondents to request the United States Government to repatriate him. Mr. Khadr also asks me to overturn the respondents’ decision on the grounds that it was unreasonable and taken in bad faith. Finally, Mr. Khadr seeks further disclosure of documents in the respondents’ possession. [3] I am satisfied, in the special circumstances of this case, that Mr. Khadr’s rights under s. 7 of the Charter have been infringed.

    Date: 20071113 Docket: T-2016-01 Citation: 2007 FC 1165 Ottawa, Ontario, November 13th, 2007 PRESENT: The Honourable Mr. Justice O'Reilly BETWEEN: THE MINISTER OF CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION Plaintiff and MICHAEL SEIFERT Defendant FINDINGS OF FACT I. Overview [1] The Minister of Citizenship and Immigration informed Mr. Michael Seifert in 2001 that the Minister intended to take steps to revoke his Canadian citizenship. Mr. Seifert responded by asking that this Court determine the facts. Page: 2 [2] The Minister alleges that Mr. Seifert entered Canada in 1951 and later obtained Canadian citizenship by false representation, fraud, or by knowingly concealing material circumstances. In particular, the Minister alleges that Mr. Seifert failed to disclose his correct place of birth and misrepresented his activities during World War II when he applied for a Canadian visa in Hannover, Germany during the summer of 1951. Contrary to what he told Canadian officials at the time, Mr. Seifert admits that he was born in Ukraine and served as a guard in the German forces in Ukraine and, later, at a police transit camp in Bolzano, Italy in 1944-45. The Minister also accuses Mr. Seifert of killing prisoners and committing various acts of cruelty in the camp. Mr. Seifert adamantly denies these accusations. [3] I am satisfied, based on all of the evidence I have heard, including expert testimony on Canadian immigration policy during the post-war years, the German police and security apparatus during the war, the practices and procedures followed by Canadian officials in European consular offices and the extensive documentary record in all of these areas, that Mr.

  • Footloose: Civil Responsibility for GMO Gene Wandering in Canada
    University of Arkansas ∙ System Division of Agriculture [email protected] ∙ (479) 575-7646 An Agricultural Law Research Article Footloose: Civil Responsibility for GMO Gene Wandering in Canada by Jane Matthews Glenn Originally published in WASHBURN LAW JOURNAL 43 WASHBURN L. J. 547 (2004) www.NationalAgLawCenter.org Footloose: Civil Responsibility for GMO Gene Wandering in Canada Jane Matthews Glenn* I. INTRODUCTION The most contentious issue facing genetically modified (GM) ag­ riculture today is that of its co-existence with non-GM agriculture, both conventional and organic. Can GM and non-GM agriculture co­ exist peacefully, and what measures should be taken to ensure this?! And if peaceful co-existence proves impossible, and there is admix­ ture of GM and non-GM crops, who should bear the responsibility for loss? That admixture might occur is increasingly recognized. The pos­ sibility of post-harvest commingling of GM and non-GM crops is of increasing concern to Canadian grain farmers because the entire sys­ tem of shipping and handling of grain is based on the commingling of fungibles. The distinction between GM and non-GM crops is not readily apparent. However, it is the possibility of pre-harvest co­ mingling that has drawn most of the attention to date. The scientific evidence of the propensity of GM genes to wander-and to wander further than initially thought-is piling up. For example, a panel of Canada's leading scientists invited to advise the Canadian government about food biotechnology, including its "potential short- or long-term risks to ... the environment,"2 concluded that while gene flow from GM crops to their wild relatives can occur (particularly in canola and rice), the "complete absence of breeding barriers" makes it much more likely to occur between GM and non-GM crops of the same species, especially where the two are grown in the same region.
