Please circulate widely Apologies for cross-postings / misdirection / unwanted email ( please advise citing name of this email list: COMER Update 3 c/o Cnic ) Dear Friends On Wednesday, December 7, 2016, the Committee On Monetary and Economic Reform (COMER) appeal to the outcome of the last court hearing will be heard at the Federal Court of Appeal, 180 Queen Street West, Toronto. This hearing will be held at the same Federal Court Building as the previous four (4) hearings. 180 Queen St. West, is on the north side of the street, just west of University Avenue, in Toronto. COMER’s lawyer, constitutional expert Rocco Galati, strongly recommends that we be there by 9:00 am to avoid entering late and annoying the three (3) Federal Appeal Court Justices. The Hearing will start promptly at 9:30 am and may continue throughout the day. F Y I – The proceedings to date for this Action begun on December 12, 2011: Recorded entries for the Federal Court file Number T-2010-11 Recorded entries for the Federal Court of Appeal, file Numbers A-228-14 and A-76-16 .

Remember, the Feds have very deep pockets – filled with your tax dollars. In a very real sense, this is a siege, a legal war of attrition – and the Feds can well afford to pay – to delay. Meanwhile, we are still far short of what is needed to pay the costs of the upcoming hearing. Please help in any way you can to donate or to encourage others to donate to the cause. As we are now nearing the possibility of at last getting our case to the Supreme Court, COMER’s Executive is also looking into the option of enlisting the help of a professional fundraiser. What else we can do now to support this Action: 1) Make plans to attend the Hearing on December 7th. 2) Contact the media and inform them that this 5th Hearing is taking place and tell them exactly where and when. 3) Encourage as many people to attend as you can – even if they are able simply to drop by for some of the time – demonstrating an interest in the proceedings will be a valuable contribution. Let us make it clear that there is substantial public interest in this lawsuit and 5th court hearing. Note: Should the media request an interview, please refer them directly to Rocco Galati. ( We are not competent to discuss the Case or Hearing for it is not about the substance of our suit per se. This Hearing is about our right to take our lawsuit to court. The argument will be about the law and legal precedent.) COMER’s lawsuit has done much to raise public awareness and to stimulate a keen interest in the monetary reform issue. We have been much encouraged by the growing interest among Canadians and from around the world, and the many warm messages of thanks that often include the words hope and inspiration. There is just no way we can let good people down. See you there ! ( Please circulate widely ) Ann Emmett, Chair, Committee On Monetary and Economic Reform (COMER).
