The FCAC has seen evidence of forgery, doctoring of contract documents and numerous other offences that in a rule of law culture would have perpetrators facing indictment charges. The FCAC was asked by Minister of Finance Morneau last June to provide an opinion how how the Ministry should respond to the Parliamentary Finance Committee findings in June of 2017 from the reporting of GO PUBLIC on CBC that shows a pattern of crimes against banking and investment clients. FCAC has said in a teleconferenc in Jan 2018 when discussing the evidence of fraudulent practices, that it lacks the mandate to face these examples of law-breaking, but in a series of letters with activists in the field, the FCAC has encouraged people to correspond with the Minister about this problem. The governance model that the FCAC is having to work with is a disgrace, and reduces oversight to nothing more that a betrayal of lawful practice and a facilitation of impunity for fraud leading to undue enrichment. What neoliberalism has brought us is the most insidious undermining of economic democracy since the Gilded Age. It is far worse, because it has undermined the foundations of rule of law over investment and banking. It has allowed deregulation and blatant unaccountability to leave banking and investment clients with a legal model that has no allegiance to upholding good faith common law of contract principles. It allows de-regulated industry controlled, pretend governance agencies, to claim that facing violations of laws is "not their department" and it allows a false record of accountability all the way up to the Ministry of Finance level in Canada, provincial and federal. This being March, "Fraud PREVENTION Month", we have to get a clear understanding of the public demand for honest, rule of law customs. We need to find out which activists and which agencies agree that any government oversight organization must not be muzzled from observing, assessing and reporting all infractions of all laws to both the accused party and the complainant, and when appropriate, to forward evidence and a comprehensive report on all breaches of all laws, to relevant law enforcement organizations. This is the nub of where betrayal of the public interest becomes clear. When agencies tell the public that they are not within their mandate, to be a part of rule of law customs, we see the true toxicity of the neoliberal creation of a corporatized lawlessness.
