Information leak!

Recently heard in France was the astonishing remark that certain Canadian officials made it clear that Gettliffe was to be found guilty!
And this regardless of whether she was justified or not in leaving Canada in 2001.
This apparently to give the warning to all foreigners living in Canada to think twice before returning to their home country with their children!

My question " Why weren't the circumstances surrounding her departure investigated?"
I was told that the case was getting too much media attention, that the government was caught with their pants down after the brutal arrest (due to the existence of the BC AG mediation agreement having been signed by the Canadian party), and that they felt they had no choice but to resort to damage control. The fact that Mike Luchenko (Scott Grant's mother's boyfriend) had used his public office to settle a personal score and had overstepped his boundaries with the creation of a second arrest warrant didn't help matters. Hence the government's decision to allow Heather Holt to sign the "official" arrest warrant, signed several days after the fact and only communicated to France 6 weeks later.

When France gave them the go ahead for dubious reasons.... (Nathalie Gettliffe's partner in France has political ambitions...he is running against the current Justice Minister Pascal Clément and will probably take the seat) BC justice moved forward.
Gaul decided to cover for the anomaly and they took on the position that the best defence was an offence...so they attacked Gettliffe vehemently.
They then deployed exceptional measures to wear Gettliffe down until she gave in to pleading guilty. The rest is history!

One final remark... Gettliffe only went back to Canada in April because she was under the impression that the Canadians had negotiated in good faith. And this based on the signed British Columbia Attorney General mediation agreement, issued January 2006, giving her custody of the children in France. This information is corroborated by official testimony.

Good luck British Columbia for the Olympics!
I am convinced you have lost a lot of potential visitors!
Maybe the Olympic Committee should look into the transparency of the BC legal system before deciding to do business there!
