DEPOSITION OF MISTER NEIL E. COLLISHAW
NEIL E. COLLISHAW
UNDER THE SAME OATH
CROSS-EXAMINATION BY
MR. EARL CHERNIAK, Q.C.:
(Cont'd)
Q. I am continuing to deal with paragraphs
i0 and 12 of the Contestation, dealing with the - what
is accepted in the scientific and medical communities
and what is common knowledge, and what this is pertinent
to, just so we understand it, is the basis for that part
of the preamble set out in paragraph 25 of the Contestation,
that is the conclusive evidence implicating tobacco use
in the incidence of certain diseases.
What I'd like to know is, if you would undertake
to provide for me all the reports, documents, or other
matters that were actually put before either the Minister
- either/or - either and including all of - the Minister,
the Parliamentary Committee, Cabinet and Parliament, with
respect to that which was accepted in the scientific and
medical communities the urgent public health issue referred
to in paragraph lO(b) and matters of common knowledge.
Would you please provide me with a list
of that material?
BY MR. ROGER BAKER, Q.C.:
Mr. Cherniak, I most respectfully decline that
undertaking by the client under 36.3 of the Canada Evidence
Act, what was put before the Cabinet, or a committee of
the Cabinet, is subject to a privilege and you are not
entitled to know.
BY MR. EARL CHERNIAK, Q.C.:
Of course my question was wider than that, it
included the Cabinet and any Committees, but my question
was wider than that because I included the Minister and
Parliament and the Parliamentary Committee.
BY MR. ROGER BAKER, Q.C.:
Well, what was put before the Parliamentary

Committee is, as you know, a matter of public record.
BY MR. EARL CHERNIAK, Q.C.:
I'd like an answer to my question.
for the undertaking.
I've asked
For purposes of the record, I am advised that
what was put before the Parliamentary Committee is all
a matter of public record and that there were private
matters, or private documents put before the Parliamentary
Committee by department of government, including Health
and Welfare.
But the point is, what I want to know is, what
I want to have the undertaking to have supplied to me
so that I can fully understand the import and the meaning
of those paragraphs of the Contestation.
Please supply me with a list of the material
that was put before those various branches of the government
that I mentioned.
BY MR. ROGER BAKER, Q.C.:
Well, just so...
BY MR. EARL CHERNIAK, Q.C.:
I don't need a speech, I just want to know whether
we will get that undertaking or not.
BY MR. ROGER BAKER, Q.C.:
Mr. Cherniak, I wasn't intending to make a speech.
Part of what you've demanded is purely excludable under
36.3; Mr. Thibaudeau seemed to be suggesting to you,
it's not that I overheard what he was saying, but he was
saying that everything that was tendered - all that went
on before the Parliamentary Committee is not public.
I would like to understand that for the purpose of any
undertaking, or qualified undertaking I can make; I am
not trying to obstruct you on obtaining documents, Sir,
I can assure you that which you are legally entitled to
you will get.
So, perhaps Mr. Thibaudeau can inform us as
to what he is referring to. There were no in-camera sessions
of the Committees, were there?

BY MR. EARL CHERNIAK, Q.C.:
Of course, if we knew what we were referring
to - this is my question, not Mr. Thibaudeau's - if we
knew what we were referring to, no doubt it would not
be necessary to ask the question.
I am making specific reference to certain paragraphs
of the Contestation.
BY MR. ROGER BAKER, Q.C.:
Uh-huh.
BY MR. EARL CHERNIAK, Q.C.:
I want to know what, if anything, was put before
those branches of the government that relate to matters
set out in paragraphsrlO and 12 of the Contestation.
Please undertake to provide me a list of all
information, written or in reports or otherwise, supplied
those arms of the government that relate to matters in
those paragraphs.
BY MR. ROGER BAKER, Q.C.:
I will give you a qualified undertaking, Mr.
Cherniak; I will undertake to consider your request to
the extent that it is permissible under the Canada Evidence
Act.
BY MR. EARL CHERNIAK, Q.C.:
Well, will you undertake to supply me the documents,
except to the extent that it is impermissible under the
Canada Evidence Act?
BY MR. ROGER BAKER, Q.C.:
Well, many of the documents, I have no doubt,
you are already in possession of. So that which is permissible...
BY MR. EARL CHERNIAK, Q.C.:
NO~ no...
BY MR. ROGER BAKER, Q.C.:
... is it a list or documents...
