motivation
We continue with our search for understanding the motivations of Mr. Jean Chretien in doling

out governmental money to his friends with criminal records. In one of our previous articles,

we mentioned the English definitions of fraud, ethics and abuse of power as they are

understood by common people⁽¹⁾. But the law applies more restrictive definitions of fraud,

ethics and abuse of power, and this is why the RCMP and judges always make reference to

the motivations of a person charged with criminal conduct. So, 'motivation' plays a very

important role in our justice system, and provides a sense of relationship to the related

actions which can be perceived, for example, as either fraud, or unethical or as abuse of power.

job
creation
grant
In our last article, we mentioned that Mr. Chretien personally approved a Transition Job Fund

(TJF) grant for $600,000 to the Auberge des Gouverneurs hotel in Shawinigan⁽²⁾, Chretien's

home town. And this hotel was owned by Pierre Thibauld, a self confessed criminal. Also,

we mentioned that Yvon Duhaime, received $1-million in HRDC grants to expand the

Grand-Mère Inn he bought from Mr. Chrétien; and I forgot to say that at that time

Mr. Duhaime had accumulated $330,000 in unpaid bills. We also mentioned that as

Mr. Duhaime received part of his job creation grant, he paid $11,500 to René Fugère, an

unpaid aide and Liberal supporter for Mr. Chrétien's riding of St-Maurice, for consulting

services.

Influence
Peddling
I can say therefore, that one motivation for Mr. Chretien in doling out governmental money

in his own riding of St. Maurice was to create new consulting jobs. And Ethics Counsellor

Howard Wilson has stated that there is nothing wrong for Mr. Chretien in helping out his

constituents, and Mr. Chretien has confirmed that his primary motivation to help his friends

in his riding was to create new jobs. And you know the title of these new jobs created by

Mr. Chretien? The title is "Consulting Services for Doling out Governmental Money." But

the RCMP has different titles for the jobs created by Mr. Chretien, the RCMP calls them

"Consulting for Influence Peddling" and "Consulting for Fraud and Theft."

Groupe
Forces
Yesterday, we have heard that two Shawinigan businessmen, Mr. Mario Pepin and

Mr. Paul Lemire, have been charged for theft and fraud for stealing up to $300,000 from a

company they ran called Groupe Forces⁽³⁾. Mr. Pepin and Mr. Lemire have been long time

supporters and friends of Mr. Chretien and Mr. Lemire even took a trip with the Prime

Minister on a trade mission to Asia in 1996. Further, Groupe Forces is the same agency

which invested in the Grand-Mere's expansion, and which was able to attract over

$4-million in government assistance for job creation. We will mention later, in another

article, that Mr. Pepin and Mr. Lemire were the founders of many agencies, all

interconnected and with the vision to pocket federal money and create more jobs for

the RCMP.

creation
The saga of the Grand-Mere's Inn expansion and job creation program for the RCMP in

Chretien's riding of St. Maurice will continue in our next articles.
