Acknowledgments

There are a few individuals and entities to thank for their help in the preparation of this book.

First of all, acknowledgements are owed to the Legal Research Institute at the University of

Manitoba’s Faculty of Law, which provided funding to hire two eager law students, Jocelyn

Ritchot and Robert Marcoux, to assist in the preliminary amassing of materials related to this

project. Thanks and appreciation are extended to Jocelyn and Robert for their enthusiasm and

diligence.

Second, I would like to thank my co-author, Denis Le May, whose patience and under-

standing of my numerous delays and false starts on this project have been limitless. Similarly,

Jeffrey Miller, of Irwin Law, is owed a debt of gratitude for his continued willingness to partake

in this project despite numerous inaccurate assurances that the book’s completion was “just

around the corner.”

Lastly, I posthumously thank my dear friend, Gordon “Pigfoot” Pearson, whose premature

passing in 2007 taught me that life can be unjustly short, and provided inspiration to com-

plete this work in due time. It is to him — and to the memory of our great friendship — that I

dedicate this effort.
