RCMP REFUSE TO RELEASE THE NAME OF PROVINCE WITH THE ONE ‘PROTECTION OF LIFE’ CARRY PERMIT
RCMP INSIST PROVIDING THE NAME OF THE PROVINCE WITH THE ONE PROTECTION OF LIFE CARRY PERMIT WILL ‘SERIOUSLY THREATEN THE SAFETY AND HEALTH OF AN INDIVIDUAL’ – The Director of Investigations with the Office of the Information Commissioner supports the RCMP decision to withhold the name of the province and found my complaint to ‘not well-founded’. Letter from the Office of the Information Commissioner dated November 5, 2019 EXCERPT: “In addition to the information above, the RCMP provided our Office with examples of incidents where aggressive behaviour was directed at a specific person or persons under the witness protection program (and to whom a 20(a) ATC might apply). This information, in our view, established a reasonable basis for believing that the safety of a 20(a) ATC holder could be threatened (physically or psychologically) should the holder be rendered identifiable.”
EXCERPT FROM MY COMPLAINT LETTER: “I fail to understand how releasing the number of ‘Protection of Life’ carry permits could ‘reasonably be expected to threaten the safety of individuals.’ There is no way a number can be connected to an actual individual with a carry permit so how could it possibly threaten anyone’s safety?”

RCMP ONLINE DATABASES PROBED AND/OR ATTACKED THOUSANDS OF TIMES PER DAY
RCMP’s ONLINE DATABASES WERE PROBED AND/OR ATTACKED THOUSANDS OF TIMES PER DAY – NO EVIDENCE OF A SPECIFIC DATABASE BEING TARGETED – Office of the Information Commissioner rules my complaint as ‘not well-founded’ supporting RCMP April 2017 ATIP response claiming that these three major databases (CPIC, CFRO and CFIS) only had two ‘Clickjacking’ incidents. See Report of Investigation by the Office of the Information Commissioner dated November 1, 2019 and my original complaint letter dated May 13, 2017
PORT OF VANCOUVER: ‘NO RECORDS EXIST’ OF ILLEGAL SHIPMENTS OR THEFT OF FIREARMS

‘NO RECORDS EXIST’ – Reference is being made to a number of anecdotal reports of: (1) Illegal shipments of firearms, ammunition and explosives found in ships or containers leaving Canada and/or destined for Canada, and (2) Firearms, ammunition and explosives reported stolen from ships or containers at the Port of Vancouver.
REQUESTED: FULL DISCLOSURE OF RCMP FIREARMS PROGRAM SPENDING & STAFFING
Complaint to Information Commissioner RCMP ATIP File: A-2019-03933 by Dennis R. Young – November 3, 2019
EXCERPT: Unfortunately, none of these costs and staffing requirements are reported to Parliament so MPs and Senators are operating in the dark when trying to determine if the Canadian Firearms Program is operating cost-effectively and if it is improving public and police safety.

AUGUST 20, 2019 – OPEN LETTER TO PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU: HIGH RIVER FORCED ENTRIES
Waiving Solicitor-Client Privilege on High River Forced Entries Records Being Withheld By Dennis R. Young – August 20, 2019
EXCERPT: You can start to repair this broken trust by making public the hundreds and hundreds of pages of records on the High River Forced Entries and rights violations withheld by your government using the solicitor-client privilege exemption. Please give the authority to your Ministers of Justice and Attorney General, Public Safety and Defence and the Judge Advocate General to waive privilege on these records. I would also ask you to direct the Minister of Public Safety to expedite the processing and release of 2,280 pages of High River rights violations records I requested from the RCMP in 2016. See the details regarding the records being withheld and updates on my Access to Information Act requests attached.
