Where are the Member of the Ontario Legislature?

There are times that is important for those involved in the legislative process to stand up and be counted. The Members of both opposition parties in the Ontario Legislature are doing a number of the Government inability to address waste of taxpayers money regarding health issues. It is time to hold the Ontario Minister of Health accountable. Below is copy an email that I have sent to the Members expressing certain concerns:

Dear Member


ACCESS TO JUSTICE BLOG


Since 2005, I have been using a number of discussion forums to raise some of my concerns regarding the administration of justice and other topics.


An idea that kept recurring was the need to set-up a Blog that would deal with my experience with the administration of justice in this country and especially the administration of justice close to home; namely Ontario.


The need to act on the idea came as a result of the response, which I receive, or more to the point the lack of response to a concern that I recently raised with the members of the Ontario Legislature regarding the state of affairs in Toronto’s Hospital Emergency Departments. These emails raised only two responses on from the Office of the Leader of the Third Party and the other from the office of the NDP Health critic.


The Blog will serve as to reflect on my experience and attempt to raise concern on the international level to ensure that the federal government and its provincial counter part revisit the administration of justice system to ensure that Access to Justice is not denied to citizenry in this country. It appears that I can no longer rely on the struggle that I have faced since the early sixties in my attempt to bring the authorities to its sense.


In my first posting I address Bill 14—Access to Justice Act, 2006 and especially Schedule C and the impact that that Bill had in failing to address some of the concerns related to the Administration of Justice in this Province. The first posting is found at the link below:

Access to the Blog is at the following URL:

This Blog, will be use to address concerns with various governments including the conduct of the Members of the Ontario Legislature in failing to address concerns that need responses. It will deal with all facets of Administration of Justice.



The challenge that will be face in creating an awareness of the Blog is not going to be easy but it should prove to be quite easier that the struggle that I have faced over more than fifty year to ensure that no one is denied justice in this County and that the courts of this country respect constitutional dictates that are in place to protect citizenry rights.


This email will be posted on the Blog.


Sincerely yours

ACCESS TO JUSTICE ACCORDING TO GUY BABINEAU

ACCESS TO JUSTICE ACCORDING TO GUY BABINEAU

Guy Babineau was seven years old when events that occurring between 1952 and 1953 piqué his political interest resulting in his becoming a political activist in subsequent years. Born in a small French-speaking community in southeastern New Brunswick, he was not a loss for mentors in his earlier years. It should not come as a surprise that such an interest would lead to an interest in law. In 1969, he move to Toronto, Ontario.

This combine interest propelled him to appear before the Standing Committee on Justice Policy when Bill 14—Access to Justice Act, 2006 came before that Committee. His oral presentation before that Committee is found at:

Base on his experience, he had come to the conclusion that seeding redress through court proceedings did not necessarily ascertained access to justice or that justice would follow from such activity. Not only is his role as a self-represented litigant in 1972 when he first filed a factum in the New Brunswick Court of Appeal or when his first appearance as an agent in 1965, he from the conclusion that access to justice had to be visited to ensure that justice was not denied to many litigants as a result of unscrupulous conduct of many members of various law societies in this country.

It is for this reason that when the McGuinty Administration failed to head to his concern, he decided to bring about a judicial review from the enactment of Schedule C of Access to Justice Act, 2006. Copy of is Application for Judicial Review issued by the Divisional Court of Ontario is found at the Paralegal Society of Canada at:

An article was published in the THE LAWYERS WEEKLY, February 1, 2008 edition by Thomas Claridge: Paralegal group concerned about regulation and accreditation is found at:

In his application Guy Babineau is asking the Divisional Court to addressed the role that a provincial Lieutenant Governor is called upon to play when a Bill is presented for Royal assent pursuant to constitutional dictate setout in the Constitution Act, 1867 as well as a determination of the rights setout in section 15(1) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedom based on the proper interpretation of the words used in that section. Base on this two pronged application Mr. Babineau is also seeking other relief.
