Subject: Looking for a reply to my past letters sent to your attention


RCMP Operation Deception

Dear Honourable Minister Lametti,

Now that life has come back to normal after the Covid-19 Pandemic, I am taking a moment once
again to send you another letter.

For the record, Mr. Minister, a first registered letter from my part was sent to your attention on
February 5, 2019 (a copy is enclosed). In the said letter, I asked you to institute a public inquiry
into:

#1: What led RCMP members to lie under oath about the circumstances surrounding the
death of their colleague, RCMP Corporal Derek Flanagan in Chiang Mai Thailand,
February 19, 1989?

#2: What motivated and prompted judges of the Superior Court to close their eyes, as
Force members perjured themselves about the circumstances surrounding the violent
death of RCMP Corporal Derek Flanagan?

Without any reply from your part, after almost four months, a second registered letter was sent to
your attention on May 21, 2019 (a copy is enclosed) to reiterate my request for a public inquiry.

In light of your refusal to acknowledge receipt of my correspondence, a third letter was forward
to your attention on August 28, 2019 (a copy is enclosed). As you were informed in this last
letter, a refusal from your part to answer would be considered an official admission that my
allegations are true.

The Attorney General’s Office is in possession of the Analysis of RCMP Flanagan’s death since
September 19, 2013, upon filing my request to the Supreme Court under Section 73. Since a
copy of my motion under Section 73 was given to the Attorney General and signed by its
representative upon receipt, as prescribed under the law, your office has a copy. To facilitate

1
matters, you may access all related evidence, as filed before the Court by the Attorney General,
on my website at: https://www.alainolivier.ca – Document section

Since the evidence used for the Analysis of RCMP Flanagan’s death emanates exclusively from
the Attorney General, including RCMP members’ testimonies given under oath at trial, in all due
respect, Mr. Minister, it should have been a very easy exercise to answer yes or no to advise of
your position concerning my request for a Public Inquiry. Yet, neither you nor anyone under
your aegis at the Ministry of Justice felt the need or even acknowledged receipt of my letters to
your attention. It is as if they had never reached your office, although Post Canada records show
otherwise. That you don’t want to confirm the veracity of the content of information emanating
from your file speaks volumes.

What is clear, as mentioned in my previous letter, you cannot deny the veracity of the content of
the Analysis of RCMP Flanagan’s death. And if you agree with it, you cannot do it without
incriminating the RCMP and the Attorney General, in one form or another. As you are surely
fully aware, using the power of the state to cover up the true circumstances surrounding the
violent and illicit death of an agent of the state is illegal under the law.

However, the present situation points to something much more damaging to the integrity of our
justice system. Simply put, if you admit that the content of the Analysis of RCMP Flanagan’s
death corroborates my allegations, this would mean turning the spotlight on the judges, who sat
on this case and decided to close their eyes to this.

It includes the trial judge, the Honourable Justice Michel C. Caron who was promoted to higher
positions after trial, as well as the Honourable Appeal Court Justice François Pelletier J.C.A.,
Justice Claude C Gagnon J.C.A. (Ad Hoc) and more importantly, longtime trial judge’s friend
and past associate, now Chief Supreme Court Justice, the Honourable Richard Wagner promoted
to the highest court, while en deliberé writing his Appeal Court decision in my $47,400,000 legal
action against the RCMP and the Attorney General of Canada, the very party responsible for his
nomination.

Something worth mentioning: the aforementioned Justices agreed and erroneously declared that
after a meticulous analysis of the evidence, there was no proof that RCMP members had lied
about the death of their colleague, RCMP Corporal Derek Flanagan.

As it is and without the pleasure of a reply from your part, all the facts in this case point out that
justices of the court may have willfully allowed Force members to lie in all impunity about the
death of their colleague. If it is not the case, on the other hand, it would then signal another
serious problem. It would be one related to the justices’ standards of ethics in this case against
the Attorney General of Canada at the time of their so-called meticulous analysis of the evidence
filed before the Court. Either way, it undeniably signals a problem.

Even if you have nothing to do with what has occurred at the time of these events and having
inherited this mess, something went badly wrong. And as Minister of Justice, the onus is on you
to correct the situation. I can understand your reticence at answering my letters and requests for
the institution of a public inquiry into this. However, your refusal to reply or even acknowledge

2
receipt of my communication to your attention, Mr. Minister, will not make the problem go
away. In fact, by doing so, it rather suggests that your office, as for the office of your
predecessors, has chosen to take an active part into what amounts to the cover up of the
circumstances surrounding the death of a RCMP officer and judges of the court having possibly
willfully taken part in this.

True justice, undoubtedly, forms the foundation of a civilized and democratic society, where the
people hold up the Rule of Law as being blind to social status, wealth and political power. By
definition, as you know, the Rule of law means that laws should apply equally to everyone,
including government state agents, officials and elected leaders. Sadly, like other legal
principles, whenever there is a need to cover up the truth, the Rule of Law is occasionally set
aside by dishonest law and government officials. Undeniably, law and politics are and will
inevitably remain forever entwined, one way or another. However, the reality is that this
collaboration is too often to the detriment of our society as a whole, and much more so, when the
conduct of the Force and the Attorney General is scrutinized.

While justice is important for each of us in our personal lives, it becomes incredibly more so
today. More than ever, our society needs leaders motivated by a true love for the truth, fairness
and justice. The value of true leadership can only be recognized once the inner moral compass
of all our leaders points out toward a common respect for the truth and the Rule of Law. If not,
abuses of power will continue to take place, as it occurred with the cover up of RCMP Operation
Deception and the circumstances surrounding the death of RCMP Corporal Derek Flanagan.

In attempting to achieve any goal other than being fully accountable and honestly serving justice,
it becomes particularly easy for elected government officials to overlook and/or to misconstrue
their obligations under the Rule of Law. And when the most basic principles of justice are
ignored or applied inefficiently, confidence in our legal and governmental institutions can only
be undermined and that is the bottom line.

The honesty and impartiality of our legal institutions represent the foundation for a society
aspiring to be seen as just and wishing to safeguard the public confidence. In your role as
Minister of Justice, your primary duty is to ensure that Canada is a just and law-abiding society
with a fair system of justice that respects the Rule of Law, as well as our rights and freedoms.
Considering all the evidence in your possession supporting my demand for a public inquiry, to
refuse acting now, in all due respect, Mr. Minister, will only contribute to damage and
undermine the very thing that you are supposed to protect.

Canada is against the death penalty. As such, the RCMP should never have been allowed to use
Canadian tax payers’ money to create and finance an operation overseas in Thailand with the
avowed purpose of subjecting a Canadian citizen to torture and the death penalty, as they have
done in my case. To have an idea of what I’ve been through, you and your staff are invited to
see the feature film Target Number One inspired from my treatment at the hands of the RCMP
and distributed worldwide at the beginning of the pandemic, as well as the one-hour prize
winning W5 program on Operation Deception.

Despite the passage of time, the truth always finds a way to come out, Mr. Minister. I am
looking forward to the pleasure of a reply to my repeated requests for a Public Inquiry and thank
you for your time and interest in justice.

Yours truly,

Mr. Alain Olivier
