He confirmed that Mr. Gibson was served the materials but that he did not think
that he needed to Acknowledge Service on him since the Attorney General of
the Government of Canada was not on the Style of Cause.
Mr. Gibsons being served both on November 08th, 2010 by email (see Exhibit
A-page 1/3) and then the written materials; and his ignoring this and failing to
acknowledge service until I contacted his office on November 23, 2010 will
hopefully be taken into consideration regarding his client.
In addition, Mr. Gibson s client was represented at the Saskatchewan Court of
Appeal and I could not understand why he would not understand that his client
was still an integral part of this litigation at the Supreme Court of Canada phase.
This prompted me to write a 2 page letter dated November 23, 2010 (attached
as Exhibit C.) to the registry explaining my concerns in particular over the
accuracy of the Style of Cause and a question as to the need to request an
extension of time to Take Leave to at least November 23, 2010, being that Mr.
Brennan acknowledged that their office had been in receipt of the materials.
In the morning of Wednesday, November 24, 2010, a woman left me a message
by the name of Tracy Friesen.
She identified herself as Mr. Gibsons assistant and indicated he was out of the
office until the end of the month and would attend to my concerns upon his
return.
I telephoned Ms. Friesen back after hearing her message and stressed the
urgency of the acknowledgment of having been served.
In my message I indicated that I had sent a 12 page facsimile yesterday
outlining what my concerns were.
Ms. Friesen left me another message after this indicating they only received a
one page blank sheet of paper with the name of our organization at the top.
November 24, 2010, I informed the registry of the SCC and counsel of Mr.
Gibsons position and my concerns and a copy of this letter is attached as
Exhibit D. * I also telephoned the registry and left a message for Suzanne to let
her know I would file a motion for an extension as directed.
Ms. Cliffords wrote me a note and sent it by fax letting me know that she did
not receive my email sent on November 08, 2010 (attached at Exhibit E.), that
her finally communicating this to myself, that I deemed I should proceed to
request a Notice of Motion for an Extension for her.
I have filed a Notice of Motion for an Extension to Take Leave as a formality,
with a date of November 10, 2010 or if need be a request for Mr. Gibson, an
extension of November 23, 2010, the date I received confirmation from Mr.
Gibsons office that he/ they had received the written materials.
In conclusion: I point out to you the Style of Cause in my Application to Take
Leave had left the parties proposed off due to the directions which are on SCC
websites Welcome Page for self-litigants and it states as per FORM 22
attached as Exhibit E.
In case Mr. Gibson or the registry of the SCC require that I change the Style of
Cause as it was in the Written Argument for the Appeal in the Saskatchewan
Court of Appeal I will do so upon notification from the registry office of the
Supreme court of Canada.

Ms. Joyce LaPrise and the Government of Canada are parties to this lawsuit as
Respondents (Defendants) as they were added on December 01, 2005.
This rationale for these 2 parties not only be added as proposed but added, is
because not one member of counsel filed an application to strike my Statement
of Claim (Amended Fresh Copy) filed on January 18, 2006 and noted at the
APPENDIX.
This position is central to my argument as per my MEMORANDUM.
