Friday, December 18 2009, Nav Can Center, Cornwall Ontario, Davis vs CBSA Human Rights Tribunal
I am still at the tribunal watching and listening to everything. We have a few new people in the public gallery, watching the tribunal today. Two are with CBSA and another is from the Canadian federal government.
10:54 am The tribunal parties are all in a private meeting now.
11:11 am, The tribunal is back from break. Rejean Belanger is explaining that an affidavit from witness Joyce King is being submitted.
11:14 am, Sean Gaudet is stating why he objects to Joyce King’s affidavit and he does not want her to be allowed to testify. Sean does not want Joyce King to testify about the items in her affidavit either.
11:15 am, Mr. Brian Smith is stating that he thought Rejean Belanger already agreed to allow Joyce King’s affidavit to be submitted.
11:16 am, Kakwerais is stating that they want Joyce King to testify and to submit her affidavit as evidence. Kakwerais wants Rejean Belanger to note that CBSA is being allowed to have 10 and maybe more witnesses, while Davis is barely allowed 6 witnesses. This is showing a systemic issue from CBSA with the community of Akwesasne and that Joyce King should be allowed to testify.
11:18 am, Rejean Belanger is stating that he must limit himself to the incident with Davis and that he can not accept hearsay, because hearsay is not as strong. Rejean Belanger is suggesting that the affidavit and the witness Joyce King is allowed to testify. Kakwerais stated that Joyce King is not present to testify.
11:22 am, Sean Gaudet is asking that he be allowed to view every complaint from Akwesasne, that Joyce King is going to testify about. Rejean Belanger is stating that he is willing to acknowledge that the affidavit may not be on solid ground. Sean Gaudet is stating that he does not agree with Rejean Belanger, because Rejean is presuming the information in the affidavit is accurate. Rejean Belanger is explaining why he wants to allow Joyce King to testify.
11:29 am, Kakwerais is explaining that Davis did not know what was going to happen today, so the witnesses were not sure if they should be present today. Now the new witnesses can actually view the videos when they testify in the future. Rejean Belanger is stating that no more than 15 minutes should be spent interogating each witness in the future.
11:30 am, Rejean Belanger is stating that when tribunal reconvenese that we will hear from Larry King, Joyce King, Mr. LaFrance, Richard Jacobs, John Boots, Helene Oakes, Teiohontathe Fallan Davis
11:31 am, Sean Gaudet is stating that he will be calling more witnesses and will provide their names by January 15th 2010. George Caparelli, Rod Hart, Sylvie Chibleaux (sp?), Scott Anderson. Sean Gaudet is stating that more witnesses will be provided to speak about the technical aspects of the video.
11:35 am, Kakwerais is asking why Sean Gaudet is allowed additional witnesses, depending on what is said in tribunal? Kakwerais is asking if Davis can get more witnesses depending on what Sean Gaudet’s witnesses say? Rejean Belanger is stating that ‘he hopes not’.
Kakwerais is stating that we would not be in this problem if CBSA would have actually told Sean Gaudet all of the information. Rejean Belanger is stating that might be partly true.
11:37 am, Mr. Brian Smith is stating that two weeks does not seem like enough time to go through all the witnesses. Rejean Belanger is stating that they have covered everything they could, have a happy christmas, thank everyone for their cooperation, thank the public gallery because its very important that society knows what is happening.
11:40 am, and this round is over. O:nen ki:wahi

“I have a feeling that the so-called mysterious original VHS may not even be the original and may be another edited version of the original. Why did CBSA state that the videos never existed?????????”
I highly suspect the VHS tape is not the original since there was mention of a hard drive in the hearings. Typically, from my experience, security recordings are captured digitally on hard drives and viewed on computer screens. The VHS tape is probably a recording from the hard drive for convenience viewing.
It seems to be an alarming trend; CBSA destroyed the video they recorded when they murdered the Polish man at the airport recently.
CBSA claimed they never saved video of another young lady they assaulted on Kawehno:ke (cornwall island) a few years ago.
The only videos I ever hear of CBSA NOT destroying, editing, or losing … are the video that they want to use to prosecute someone else.
What kind of organization, gives an accused murderer the keys to the evidence box and tells the murderer to guard the evidence?
