Le rapport du comité des opérations gouvernementales et des prévisions budgétaires, déposé vendredi, fait état de nom breuses interrogations et s'engage à étudier le processus de nomination des hauts fonctionnaires, y compris leurs salaires et avantages, leur indépendance et les méthodes de reddition de comptes budgétaires. Le comité soulève aussi plusieurs interrogations sur les dépenses en frais de repas et de déplacements de l'ex-commissaire et de sa directrice des communications, une somme qui approcherait les 500 000 dollars sur une période de deux ans. Le comité n'émet pas de recommandations directes sur ces aspects, préférant attendre les conclusions de la vérificatrice générale, Sheila Fraser, qui déposera un rapport sur la gestion du bureau de M. Radwanski en septembre. Pour ces raisons, le comité tient à recommander le renvoi de M. Radwanski, et ce, même si le principal intéressé a démissionné en catastrophe lundi. Dans sa lettre de démission, l'ex-commissaire continue à soutenir qu'il fait l'objet d'une chasse aux sorcières et qu'il n'a rien à se reprocher. Montreal | Saturday June 28 2003 | Volume 1, issue 7 pessimum genus inimicorum laudantes | http://step.polymtl.ca/~miadel/perdurabo/ Cauchon break-ins a mystery The Gazette June 28 Police aren't sure why a man smashed his way into the Montreal offices of Justice Minister Martin Cauchon late Thursday, leaving a threatening letter and a trail of destruction in his wake. Daniel Guibord, 57, was charged yesterday with two counts of breaking and entering, mischief and possession of break-in implements after two break-ins at Cauchon's offices in the last four days. The clean-shaven, balding Guibord, wearing a torn white T-shirt that was knotted together, was silent as his lawyer entered a plea of not guilty and requested trial by judge and jury. The Crown objected to his release, so Guibord is due back in court Monday for a bail hearing. “We haven't had a chance to look at the charges or the evidence," defence lawyer Catherine Haccoun said. She was unable to say yesterday why Cauchon's office was tar geted. Luce Asselin, Cauchon's chief of staff for Quebec, said initial damage esti mates are about $100,000. "The office is a mess," Asselin said. When asked about a motive for the two breakins, Asselin said she's waiting to hear from police. "We don't know any more than you do," Asselin said Montreal police caught the accused in the minister's third-floor offices of the Queen Mary Rd. building while they were responding to a burglar alarm. The office is next door to neighbourhood police station 26. The Gazette, Aislin, June 14, 2003 - mood in Toronto Cauchon, the member of Parliament for the Outremont riding, was not at the office when the break-in occurred about 9:30 p.m. When police arrived at the scene, the office had been ran sacked; computers and other office equipment had been destroyed. A knife and an iron bar were found at the scene. The suspect when police tried to arrest him, said Constable Yannick Ouimet, a spokesperson. police The threatening letter was also found pinned to a wall with a hunting knife next to a Quebec flag. Police declined to reveal the contents of the letter. Employees were picking up the pieces at the office yesterday. Asselin said both Cauchon and his staff will be under tight security for an undetermined period. page 1 Montreal Cops' Crack Down on Gang Violence Backfires Dubois was sadly mistaken when he claimed "We will win our streets back from gang violence within a few months time," because it has become painfully obvious just who is in control of the streets. The Gazette June 8 Police Commissioner Yves Dubois was speechless today as he tried to make a statement to the public about Montreal's gang problem. Just last month it had seemed the police force had turned the city around, having an entire month free of gang activity. However, this month, gang activity and violence has come rip-roaring back into town. Apparently the police's new system to crack down on gang violence has major flaws. It seems Commissioner Over the past month there have been three fires allegedly started by arsons with gang connections, eleven shootings in various districts including two police officers, and one possible car-bombing currently under investigation. It was almost as if Montreal's gangs had lured police into a false sense of security only to blow it all away with an explosion of violence. Canadian Tire pourra offrir des services bancaires Le Devoir 13 juin Canadian Tire offrira dès la semaine prochaine ses propres services bancaires maintenant que la principale autorité financière canadienne lui a accordé son feu vert, a indiqué hier la compagnie. Le premier détaillant de biens durables au pays a précisé que la banque aidera sa division de services financiers, qui offre des cartes de crédit, à réduire ses coûts. La Banque Canadian Tire a reçu l'autorisation du Bureau du surintendant des institutions financières et prévoit démarrer ses activités le 1er juillet. La banque n'offrira pas la palette complète des services financiers traditionnels. La création de la banque permettra à la division financière de Canadian Tire d'exploiter ses activités sous la même structure réglementaire que d'autres compagnies de carte de crédit. Recrudescence des attaques antiaméricaines centriques. Certains sont très visibles, d'autres plus discrets «Je crois que par rapport à l'Amérique du Nord, le Québec au grand complet est une excentricité, Anne Dandurand. Le simple fait que nous soyons les seuls à parler français parmi tous ces anglophones est excentrique au niveau culturel. 23 boroughs face cuts. Council chairpersons want restored funding and a new formula for dividing money CBC June 27 Montreal libraries are losing up to $2.8 million in funds to buy new books, 13 borough council chairpersons said yesterday. "We will not be able to provide what we did before," Karin Marks of Westmount said at a news conference in St. Laurent. Of Montreal's 27 boroughs, 23 face severe library cuts, the hardest hit being Pointe Claire, Côte St. Luc, Beaconsfield and Mount Royal, officials said. What now? Commissioner Dubois assures, "We will get to the bottom of this. It is a major setback, but not one that we can't overcome.". Les excentriques s'amusent L'excentricité est-elle un vaccin contre le conformisme ambiant? Une façon de lutter contre la morosité? Alors que la majorité de leurs concitoyens s'habille chez Gap et se meuble chez Ikea, les excentriques, eux, résistent. Serait-elle le dernier luxe accessible? Montréal est peuplée d'ex- Library book budgets slashed Agence France-Presse Bagdad La situation devient chaque jour plus préoccupante pour les forces de la coalition américano-britannique en Irak après l'annonce de la mort d'un nouveau soldat améri cain, de la disparition de deux autres GI avec leur blindé léger et d'une attaque au lanceroquettes contre le QG américain à Fallouja. Un soldat américain a été tué jeudi soir dans un affrontement avec des «bandits» près de Najaf, à 130 km sud de Bagdad, ont indiqué des sources américaine et irakienne. After a citywide library budget reduction of nearly $6 million since 2001, the boroughs were given $4.4 million by the provincial government this year to buy new materials. This is not nearly enough, said Suzanne Caron of Mount Royal. Her library can't afford any new books this year, she said. Bill McMurchie of Pointe Claire said he has $70,000 for new books this year, far below his usual book budget of $300,000. Marks said Westmount will have $70,000 to $100,000 less for new books - a 40 per cent cut. Manon Barbe of LaSalle said the cutbacks are being made at a time when more people are using public libraries. LaSalle has many recent immigrants who need books in both official languages and can't afford to buy them, she said. Patricia Tchokdhé, a frequent visitor to the St. Laurent library, said she is worried the cuts will limit her access to books she uses to learn English."It would cost me much more to buy them," she said. The chairpersons called for restored funding and a reformulation of the way funds are divided among boroughs. page 2
