Req # A-2020-09675

Please see attached letter. While my request pertains to prison records. I would appreciate any advice you might have as to how I might begin my search in other areas eg. immigration and deportation. I am requesting access to information for Isaac Johann Braun, born March 21 1886 in Halbstadt Russia. Isaac immigrated to Rosthern Saskatchewan with his family in July 1924 and was party to ten trials with H. P. Friesen pertaining to fraud, perjury, and fabrication of evidence. The trials took place between 1925 and 1928. I am requesting all records regarding CSC interactions with Isaac Braun between 1925 and 1933. This would include correspondance, interview transcripts, visitors, ethnocultural, chaplaincy, and language services, health status, etc. Where possible I prefer e-copies. To the best of my knowledge: * Isaac was first arrested on October 13, 1925 for perjury at the Court of King's Bench, City of Saskatchewan by Detective David Sommerville of the Saskatoon City Police Force. * On Oct. 9 1926 (Saskatoon), Isaac was convicted of perjury and sentenced to a five-year term at the Prince Albert penitentiary. On Dec 3, 1926, Isaac Braun was released on bail in the sum of $14 000. * On Oct 26, 1928, In Prince Albert, Isaac Braun was sentenced to serve five years in the penitentiary for fabrication of evidence. * On Oct 25, 1932 Isaac was discharged and, accompanied by immigration officials, brought by train to Montreal. He set sail from Montreal on the Montrose Oct 271932.

RE: Access to Information Act Request, Report of the Superintendent Penitentiaries, 1932 I write to make an Access to Information Act request regarding the following documents held by Library and Archives Canada: TITLE/DESCRIPTION: REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF ; PENITENTIARIES ON THE KINGSTON ; PENITENTIARY DISTURBANCES 1932 REPORTS BY DM ORMOND, SUPERINTENDENT OF PENITENTIARIES OF DEC. 6, 1932 (72 PAGES) & JAN. 23, 1933 (39 PAGES) TO THE MINISTER OF JUSTICE ON THE HISTORY OF DISTURBANCES AT THE KINGSTON PENITENTIARY AND RESULTS OF AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE RIOT OF OCT. 13, 1932. COPY OF THE PUBLISHED REPORT OF ORMOND IN 1933. TRANSCRIPT (16 PAGES) OF AN INTERVIEW HELD BY MEMBERS OF THE CANADA LABOUR DEFENCE LEAGUE WITH THE MINISTER OF JUSTICE ON OCT. 26, 1932 AT HIS OFFICE. Reference Number: RG13 2000-01038-5 Access Code: 32 - Restricted by Law I am requesting that this document be reviewed and released. Beyond the usual considerations, I wish to provide you with some information showing that these documents were public at the time they were created and should not be so treated as private now. The first two documents, reports by the Superintendent of Penitentiaries to the Minister of Justice, were available to the public and discussed in the media. For example, see statements made by Minister of Justice Hugh Guthrie in open Parliament on 6 February 1933 where he ordered 750 copies of the report to be produced for distribution, and discussion of these reports in open Parliament in the weeks that followed. Reporters who had reviewed the document in full also discussed the content of the report in the newspapers of the day. See, for example, "Slur on Private Soldier Seen in Prison Report," The Globe, 16 February 1933. The title/description of the document also notes that Ormond's report was published. The transcript of the Canadian Labour Defence League visit to Guthrie also should not be restricted. Guthrie had a government stenographer attend the meeting and invited reporters into the room during the meeting. See, for example, "Communists Well but Won't Allow them to be Seen," Toronto Daily Star, 26 October 1932, and E. Cecil-Smith, "Guthrie on Kingston Penitentiary," The Canadian Labor Defender (November 1932).

I am submitting an ATIP request for the Canadian Industries Limited (CIL) records that are currently listed under Ban No. 2017-00316-6. The Ban No. 2017-00316-6 states that LAC has 95.5m of materials from CIL. It is unclear if this is in addition to or part of the 34.38m that are currently available through the Canadian Industries Limited fonds (R15655-0-3-E). I have been looking through R15655-0-3-E and have found that it is based primarily on the 1950s to 2000s time periods. This is odd, considering how busy CIL and its subsidiary Defence Industries Limited were during the Second World War. This record group should have more sources from the 1940s - especially about specific sites. I want to know what information is in Ban No. 2017-00316-6, especially the information that relates to: - the 1940s, Second World War munitions procurement - Defence Industries Limited - the environment, contamination - worker safety, health hazards - decontamination, environmental remediation - Any files and records about the Pickering Plant - Any files and records about the Nobel Plant - Any files and records about the de Salaberry Plant - Any files and records about the Transcona Plant - Any files and records about the Cherrier Plant - Any files and records about the Bouchard Plant Thank You

I am seeking records held by the Custodian of Enemy Property on the following Japanese in Canada: Toyozo Matsumyama. He is mentioned on registration cards #2354 and #2355 (Reel #C-9301). On these cards it is mentioned that his internee personal file was #220. That is particularly what I am looking for. He has certainly been dead for more than 25 years.
