25th April ‑ received from Insp. Andy
Latham, correspondence that Sgt. Tom Juby
had written concerning the AES seawater,
water standards, auger testing at Can Med,
Ottawa, dated for the 12th to the 16th June
2000. Insp. Latham
requested that I return this correspondence
to Sgt. Juby so that it would be submitted
through channels, proper channels, which
would go through myself as a Senior Ident
Specialist, with comments onto Insp. Latham,
and he wished the memo to be resubmitted
outlining the expectations for the final
examination of the wires.
Memo was returned to Sgt. Juby to resubmit
it, and he was advised that it should come
through channels for my comments.
This date I spoke with Larry Vance, TSB, I
asked him if TSB were prepared to send Sgt.
Tom Juby to Ottawa for the completion of the
AES testing. He advised
that a decision has not been made.
He further stated that they had not
received their budget to date and have been
asked to spend for only essential
requirements. He wasn't
sure from their perspective of this, sending
Sgt. Juby to Ottawa to record this testing
was an essential requirement for their
agency. He stated that he
would attempt to have a decision made
possibly by Thursday and that I would be
advised. He further
stated that testing may be postponed for a
later date which would ensure that the TSB
may have their new budget by that time?
I discussed the sending of Sgt. Juby
to Ottawa with Insp. Latham, it was agreed
that Sgt. Juby should attend the testing of
the wires in Ottawa. He
has attended all the testing to date and he
should be there for the completion of these
examinations. I advised
Insp. Latham of my conversation with Larry
Vance of the TSB.
(Clarification:)
These are Gorman's notes in E&R for this date.
E&R was the data base for exhibits and the notes
created by RCMP members in the hangar. It
eventually would be turned over to the TSB for
their filing purposes, but in the mean time,
every entry was open for other members to read.
Gorman has
recorded material that was not appropriate for
general reading as it was disciplinary in
nature. As my supervisor, it was improper
for him to record this material in E&R.
As will be seen in the
next entry of the timeline, Gorman merely
suggested that this would be the last trip
should by included in the memo, even though I
had no crystal ball in which to forcast the
future. Gorman never told me that he had
spoken to Vance, or that Lathem already
supported the trip and it was merely a paper
chase by completing the memo.
What's more, when the
memo was placed on Gorman's desk, he was away
and would not return for more than a week.
It sat on his disk for all that time unread by
either him or Lathem. I know this because
I had printed the memo on the only paper
available, green bond paper, and it was placed
upside down on the centre of his desk, where it
remained undisturbed until his eventual return.
During the
meeting of 01 FEB 20 (Change the Notes Meeting),
I asked Lathem about these notes. His
response was that they were now in E&R as notes,
so they cannot be removed or altered. He
intended to do nothing about them. Ironic
considering just a few minutes before he had demanded that I change
my notes.
