SITREP from Joshua Juneau.

The departement of justice has consented to certification. The hearing is expected to occur in january 2017 and will be approximately 10 days in length. A decision is expected in the summer of 2017.

To me it is a kind of good news.

I enquired about the lawsuit. Here's what I received.

"Thank you for your email. Certification is proceeding on consent. The Crown will be preparing their statement of Defence within 30 days. Please follow up in mid-February so that I may let you know the contents of their defence memorandum".

Yours truly,

Josh

Apparently the Liberals are still fighting this issue on behalf of Stevie Harper and Crew.

Sunny ways, my friends, sunny fracking ways.

Is Juneau saying anything about this?

Right on, thanks Teen.

Throne speech for the Liberal vision of their mandate. The Governor General makes it at 2:30 eastern.

So this is when the veteran community finds out what they are going to do and when. Also make note of 'when' in the speech veterans are mentioned. It's all about priority and if vets are mentioned near the end it will not sit well for vets.

I emailed Michel Drapeaus Office yesterday to ask about the progress of this lawsuit and to see if the certification that was supposed to be done in October had gotten completed... Please see the reply I received below,,, I hope people don't let this issue die, because it seems like everyone has gone radio silent on this... keep in mind the amount of money they stole from us all and the slap in the face repayment of about 8% of what they took... I hope the Libs will not fight it in court and waste more tax dollars fighting it

Hello,

Thanks for following up. The certification process was delayed because of the Federal Election. The hearing should take place within the next 60 days or so, but has yet to be scheduled.

Yours truly,
Josh

1. As you know, we are assisting a large national law firm to have a class action lawsuit certified. The lawsuit concerns reclamation of monies clawed back against the Earnings Loss Benefit, Canadian Forces Income Support and War Veterans Allowance between April 2006 and April 2012.

2. An Action has been filed in Federal Court, and is titled Toth v. Canada (Attorney General). The court file number is T-1068-14.

3. Currently, the case is in the process of being certified. This means that we are trying to have the class recognized by the courts. The litigation timetable, as ordered by the Court, is as follows:

a. Crown's certification record: due by May 12, 2015

b. Cross-examinations and related motions: to be completed by July 12, 2015

c. Our memorandum of argument: due by August 12, 2015

d. Crown's memorandum of argument: due by September 12, 2015

e. Certification hearing: to take place after October 1, 2015.

4. ** Please note **: Currently, we are not looking for additional information or persons to establish the class. We kindly request that you do not email us with additional information at this stage, or encourage others to do so. Once the matter is certified (After October 1, 2015), we will be publishing a General Notice on our website calling out to identify additional class members.

5. We encourage you to monitor our website for any developments and continue to keep you apprised as this matter progresses.

Yours truly,

This is the follow up I received on 14 September 2015

Thank you for your email – there has been some progress that I’m happy to report to you.

As you know, before a class action lawsuit can commence, the matter must be certified. This means that the court must agree that a class of persons exists with the same issue and that the issue should be heard at the same time. Last month the Crown consented to the action being certified, however the terms are still being worked out.

In the coming months, a hearing will be scheduled before a judge to have the certification motion heard on consent. After certification is approved by the court, the action will be on foot, likely to commence sometime next year.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Yours truly,
