RCMP
Who Is Responsible for Record Suspensions?
The Parole Board of Canada (PBC) is the official and only federal agency responsible for ordering, denying, and revoking record suspensions under the Criminal Records Act (CRA).
Or so they say, “another lie.” A story broke in September 2019 by Jim Bronskill of the Canadian Press with respect to the arrest of RCMP Head of Intelligence Cameron Jay Ortis for providing information to foreign sources.
However, Supt. Dan Jakel, the director of the Criminal Records Repository Operations of the RCMP, informed us this was not the case. Despite the RCMP’s incredibly long laundry list of corruption and security breaches, we were advised this was not the case. I was also advised by Mr. Jakel that the RCMP does, in fact, notify US and foreign authorities of Canadians who receive “pardons.” Supt. Dan Jakel provided this information in writing herein:
The RCMP Canadian Criminal Real Time Identification Services (CCRTIS) is responsible for maintaining the National Repository of Criminal Records on behalf of the criminal justice community in Canada. Various legislative acts, regulations, and policies limit the types of information that can be disclosed outside of Canada. These restrictions include record suspensions (formerly pardons), youth information, and nonconviction information.
Information sharing within Canada and with key foreign partners, such as the United States, is vital for ensuring Canada’s safety and security. Under a Memorandum of Cooperation between the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), specific law enforcement entities in Canada and the United States are able to access criminal record information via the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) for criminal justice purposes. This could include the pre-screening of applicants wishing to enter either country by border service and customs officers. The use and the disclosure of any information are in accordance with the laws, regulations, and policies of the country where the information originated.
Once an individual has received a record suspension from the Parole Board of Canada, the RCMP is legislatively bound to sequester the information. CCRTIS will advise Canadian federal agencies to handle criminal record information in their possession in accordance with the Criminal Records Act. Provincial and municipal police agencies that are contributors to the criminal record are also requested to sequester the record in the spirit of the act and the information is no longer accessible on the National Repository of Criminal Records via the CPIC system.
The United States Customs and Border Protection port of entry is notified of a record suspension if our system indicates they have queried and accessed the subject’s criminal file while the information was available on CPIC. The notification does not contain any information relative to the criminal convictions. It requests that they destroy or return any Canadian criminal record information they may have retained. This affords them the opportunity to be compliant with Canadian law. Should they decide not to comply with the request they at least have confirmation of the record suspension to inform their decision in regards to admissibility to the U.S.
The RCMP is engaged on behalf of the PBC and the process, then informs foreign authorities of the individuals’ “pardon.” Then at a later date (once the individual has confessed of the “pardon” to foreign authorities after being bamboozled at a border crossing), it supplies any and all information regarding the “pardon.” Then, this information of “pardon” is sent back to the RCMP from the U.S./foreign authority for acknowledgment and verification. The RCMP then verifies the information to be true and accurate or not. Again, this is done without the knowledge or consent of the individual. What guarantee does the PBC give the individual that their information won’t continue to be shared with additional foreign authorities? So, not only does the RCMP share the “pardon” information with foreign authorities without disclosure to the applicant, but the RCMP also then verifies such information to be true and accurate at a later date. The denial of responsibility by the PBC in this regard is an absolute and atrociously bogus lie. What is to stop a foreign authority from then sharing that information with others? Of course, there are none. There are just more risks and chances you have to take doing business with the federal government of Canada.
All of the above truth and facts can be verified by RCMP Supt. Dan Jakel, the director of Criminal Records Repository Operations. Dan.Jakel@rcmp-grc.gc.ca
It would be all too easy to blame the RCMP; the horrendously led arm of the federal government showered in ongoing and never-ending corruption. With the allocated nepotism by the PM of their incompetent leader Brenda Lucki; the quarter of a billion dollars in class-action sexual assault lawsuits settled since 2016 alone; and the ongoing investigation of RCMP corruption led by the OPP or the “Piece de Resistance” of Cameron J. Ortis, the corrupt and disgraced RCMP Intelligence official who recently was charged with selling Canada’s secrets to foreign authorities; it all sounds too familiar. Is it really any wonder Mr. Ortis sold secrets to foreign adversaries? Of course not; he clearly has been led by examples of betrayal within the government.
It would seem all too easy to merely blame these guys; after all, they operate with little to no integrity and are factually corrupt. However, that is not the case. They are instructed through the PBC as part of the “pardon” process to do their jobs accordingly and adhere to pathetic, backstabbing corruption and dishonesty propagated by Chairperson Jennifer Oades of the PBC. It is the PBC that chooses to mislead applicants, skew facts, and play ignorant to the truth. Even though both the RCMP and PBC know fair well that the U.S. does not recognize Canadian “pardons,” it is still used as an excuse, making the point of a “pardon” outside of Canada completely futile and damaging.
What this process shouldn’t do is, in any way, negatively affect the individual to a position worse off than prior to the “pardon,” sort of like the Hippocratic Oath of “protecting privacy and doing no harm,” and so on.
The astonishment of being bamboozled with the reality that your country has betrayed you and informed “others” of your “pardon” is treasonous and a violation of one’s charter, human, and civil rights.
It is a sham, scam, rip-off, and complete hustle. It is the responsibility of every individual to be privy to the truth and facts of this process.
Firstly, the PBC denies informing foreign authorities of your record suspension (which they refer to as a “pardon”) when they most certainly inform you. They have it done on their behalf by the RCMP. This can be verified by Supt. Dan Jakel who states the following: “Information sharing within Canada and with key foreign partners, such as the United States, is vital for ensuring Canada’s safety and security.” In other words, the RCMP, on behalf of the PBC (Record Suspension process), informs any foreign authority they see fit that you have been granted a “pardon.” Bear in mind you will never be told this by anyone throughout the process; in fact, you will be told the exact opposite.
Secondly, the RCMP does not condone denying your past and encourages the individual to disclose their “pardon” to whoever asks. In response to one example we had mentioned regarding the PBC’s affirmation and endorsement of having the “lawful right to deny previous charges/convictions once the Record Suspension was granted,” the RCMP disagrees with the recommendation as stated by Mr. Jakel: “The RCMP does not endorse this approach and cannot make individual recommendations on how to answer their questions.”
In other words, the RCMP does not condone denying your “pardon” (even though the PBC does) and will not tell you what to say. They do, however, condone informing others (whoever they want to be precise), even though it is against many of your rights! They also condone not informing the applicant of their foreign disclosure. They also condone the PBC offering completely opposite advice. The RCMP and PBC is also well aware the USA, among others, does not recognize Canadian “pardons. This means the RCMP is well aware that the individual will now have to disclose to whoever asks their “pardon” information. So, what in the world is the purpose?
This rhetoric is pure nonsense as you will notice their claim to informing the USA on the applicant of the “pardon” “is vital for ensuring Canada’s safety and security”. That makes absolutely no sense. Why in the world would Canada feel the need to inform the USA of one of their own citizens’ pardon in order to make themselves feel safe? It makes no sense and just demonstrates the level of corrupt garbage these folks flog. They will do anything to screw over their own citizens. If Canada feels so unsafe that they have to cry to the USA, then why allow the pardon in the first place? Pathetic!
