Justice Minister Says He Can't Delay Schreiber Extradition

Posted on Tuesday, November 27 at 13:34 by drcaleb
“In our system of government ... it would not be appropriate for the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada to seek to enforce the summons of a parliamentary committee,” Mr. Nicholson wrote. “There is no broad general discretion to delay [extradition]. I would therefore encourage the committee to proceed expeditiously.” Mr. Szabo insisted Mr. Nicholson does have the authority, and warned that if he doesn't act, he could be found in contempt of Parliament. “It's a political decision,” said lawyer Rob Walsh, law clerk for the House of Commons, in a presentation to the committee. http://tinyurl.com/2xtxw6

    Complete and utter bullshit. It's in the job description. The Minister of Justice can indefinitely delay any deportation order.

    Harper does not want this investigated. Mulroney does not want this investigated.

    Herr Schriber, give us the dirt on these criminals. Let Canada know that the crimes go back before Mulroney, on to Cretien, Martin and now Harper.

    The preceding comment deals with mature subject matter, however immaturely presented. Viewer discretion is advised.

    Ah, the old law in effect. When it is something WE want, it is not possible, or they drag their feet forever. When it is something THEY want, it is done immediately.

    "When it is something THEY want, it is done immediately."

    Yes, and if it's something THEY want but the law says they can't do it, they'll change the law to make it so.

    According to the rules, laws and legislation of this country they are paid by us to serve us yet more and more, to the point of extreme now, they have made it into them being paid by us to serve them, which is not a democracy in any way, shape or form.

    Only Canadians standing up and fighting back and refusing to accept this and allow this will bring about positive change and stop where our country is heading, which is far worse off then any of us ever believed possible.

    This is not business as usual, no matter how they try to tell us that it is, this is not usual politics, the corruption occuring now is far beyond this...Canadians and our country are in very serious trouble and only Canadians standing up and speaking out and fighting back and refusing to back down and accept their lies, their excuses, their misconduct, etc... can save us and our country.
