Notas del editor
To date, there have been revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt; a civil war in Libya; civil uprisings in Bahrain, Syria, and Yemen; major protests in Algeria, Iraq, Jordan, Morocco, and Oman, as well as on the borders of Israel; and minor protests in Kuwait, Lebanon, Mauritania, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, and Western Sahara. The protests have shared techniques of civil resistance in sustained campaigns involving strikes, demonstrations, marches and rallies, as well as the use of social media to organize, communicate, and raise awareness in the face of state attempts at repression and internet censorship.
Canadian Pilots have flown more than 100 missions over Libya since the beginning of the operation MOBILE. They have attacked armoured vehicles, ammunition depots, electronic warfare sites, mobile rocket launchers, and Libyan Warships
Reservist approaching 2 years w/ JAG branch Mirror reg force career Reserve unit clientele, and support reg force, which is what I am doing tonight Civilian (BC) lawyer 10 years – BC government – MAG, client is MSD; formerly Horne Coupar
Definition: it is a BC, legal document, signed by one person (the donor) to allow another person (the attorney) to act on his behalf Valid in BC – if planning to use out of province, confirm with institution first.
POA normally used for financial arrangements, such as car insurance or buying or selling property. IF ANTICIPATE USING FOR PURCHASE OR SALE OF REAL ESTATE – EXECUTE 2 ORIGINALS and NOTE: formal requirements for Land Title Docs – witness and execution per LTA GENERAL VS LIMITED POA NO REQR FOR INSTITUTIONS TO ACCEPT – COORDINATE IN ADVANCE
Your attorney must be: Someone you trust. Not someone who has financial problems. Not someone you don’t get along with, like an estranged spouse.(tell story about ex-wife cleaning out bank acct). There are potential consequences resulting from picking the wrong attorney, among them the wrong attorney could: Drain bank accounts. Liquidate assets. Buy assets with your money. Does not respect your wishes. Bottom line is to make sure that you trust your attorney.
Donor must give attorney clear instructions Donor must ensure BEFORE they leave that institutions will accept it Must complete any other docs that the attorney cannot (ie stat dec, must be done by person themselves), your last will, etc
Fiduciary duty, must act in good faith Follow instructions and be diligent in completing them Cannot delegate power Must respect ownership (title) of donor’s property and money Must keep proper accounts/keep track of activities done
Terminating events – end of POA, death of the donor, change in mental capacity (except enduring POA). Enduring POA can be drawn up, it lasts forever. Under BC Land Titles Act they will not accept POA over 3 years old for real estate transactions, except enduring POA Revocation (if you want to stop attorney acting for you): Revoke authority verbally; Get original POA back Write attorney letter saying it’s revoked (or email); and Write bank/fin institutions saying POA revoked.
A document that instructs how an estate should be distributed in the case that the testator (maker) dies.
A will helps make the distribution of an estate much easier. It gives control to the testator to distribute their property and assets as they wish. If no will = Intestate, this can tie up estate for a long time and distribution will be based on provincial law. In the meantime the estate is vested/kept with the court.
CF Will is adequate for: First marriage No kids Single members Simple finances ******ensure will is witnessed and a Will Certificate is completed****
CF will vs Lawyer prepared Will: a lawyer prepared Will will be recommended when: second or subsequent marriage Children in or outside marriage You want to create trust for small children You have complicated finances You have specifics request for division of assets My recommendation is to get professional advice ! ******If you do ensure a Will Certificate is completed****
Re do your will when a major life event happens: ie new marriage, children born, change in circumstances -Revisit the possibility of needing a will every 7 years
Double check as who you have named as your beneficiary, ensure that is who you want. SDB beneficiary does not automatically change with change in life circumstances (ie. Divorce)
Must have the original on you when you travel, keep with passports OR they will not let you out of the country.
Plan and prepare well. – and an important part of that plan is to have make sure your family has our number. If it is the only thing you do…make sure you have the MFRC number. We are there 24/7 – originally designed as the one stop shop for military families. One number people can remember and access as a starting point for any number of reasons – information, support, resources . So for you single members, make sure your parents have it in case they need to get information, and for you married folk, make sure it is on the fridge.
Know what resources are there if you need assistance
Deployments can be very isolating for those who don’t have strong support networks Lots of ways to get connected

CBI 10.3.04 Full table if you have more points than 36. One point for every calendar month of service. For partial months member must have 10 days to receive point.
The Chief of the Defence Staff approves the HA level for the post upon recommendation by the Departmental Hardship and Risk Committee. Once established, the HA Level is reviewed on a semi-annual basis or as required for each operation. Discuss option of choosing SDA vice HA. NOTE: HA and Risk are tied together if mbrs choose SDA then there are no HA and Risk Entitlements. As discussed I am looking at simplifying this in the future to allow for the HA/Risk for ships on CEFCOM Missions at a minimum to equal the highest level of Sea Allowance. If SDA elected, HA Bonus is also not available as the two are linked. In addition, time does not accumulate toward HA.
