>> Andrew: IT IS TUESDAY
DECEMBER 12th AND THIS IS "THE
NATIONAL."
>> Rosemary: TONIGHT... A
MINISTER UNDER FIRE AGAIN.
THE WIFE OF A VETERAN SAYS THAT
KENT HEHR MADE AN INAPPROPRIATE
COMMENT AND WANTS HIM REMOVED.
>> Ian: MEDICALLY ASSISTED DEATH
MAY BE LEGAL BUT IT BRINGS
DIFFICULT DECISIONS FOR PATIENTS
AND THEIR DOCTORS.
WE'LL TAKE YOU INSIDE ONE
WOMAN'S JOURNEY TO END HER LIFE.
>> Andrew: BUT WE BEGIN IN
ALABAMA.
THIS IS THE HEADQUARTERS OF
REPUBLICAN SENATE CANDIDATE ROY
MOORE.
IT IS ELECTION NIGHT, POLLS HAVE
CLOSED AND RESULTS ARE ROLLING
IN FOR ABOUT TWO HOURS AND FOR
BOTH SIDES OF THE POLITICAL
DIVIDE IT'S BEEN A WILD RIDE.
AND RIGHT NOW IT'S STILL TOO
CLOSE TO CALL.
CONSIDER THIS THOUGH... AT ANY
NORMAL TIME IN ANY NORMAL RACE,
AN OFF YEAR, U.S. CONGRESSIONAL
ELECTION WOULD NOT BE HEADLINE
NEWS.
ALABAMA IS DEEP SOUTH, DEEP
REPUBLICAN RED BUT TONIGHT THE
RACE IS SO INCREDIBLY CLOSE AND
SO INCREDIBLY CLOSELY WATCHED,
THANKS TO THE REPUBLICAN
CANDIDATE ROY MOORE.
CHAMPION OF FAMILY VALUES, BUT
ACCUSED OF SEXUAL MISCONDUCT
WITH TEEN GIRLS.
WHAT HAPPENS IN THE COMING
MINUTES COULD CHANGE THE
POLITICAL LANDSCAPE OF TRUMP'S
AMERICA.
SO LET'S GO TO KEITH BOAG WHO IS
STANDING BY RIGHT NOW AT ROY
MOORE'S CAMPAIGN HEADQUARTERS TO
TALK ABOUT MOORE AND WHAT'S
HAPPENING IN ALABAMA TONIGHT.
SO, KEITH, BOY, THIS HAS BEEN AN
UNPREDICTABLE NIGHT.
WALK US THROUGH IT.
>> Reporter: WELL, THERE ARE
TWO WAYS TO LOOK AT THIS
ESSENTIALLY, THE VOTES THAT HAVE
BEEN COUNTED, THE 75% OR MORE OF
THE PRECINCTS THAT HAVE ALREADY
BEEN REPORTED AND ROY MOORE IS
LEADING BY ABOUT 2.8 PERCENTAGE
POINTS BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE
PROJECTION MODELS THAT TRY TO
TAKE INTO ACCOUNT WHAT IS THE
VOTE THAT'S STILL OUT THERE,
WHOSE VOTE STILL HAS TO BE
RECORDED AND A LOT IS VOTES FROM
URBAN AREAS AND BIG CITIES SUCH
AS BIRMINGHAM AND SO ON.
AND THAT SEEMS TO FAVOUR DOUG
JONES, SO THE PROJECTION MODELS
ARE ACTUALLY PROJECTING THAT
DOUG JONES WILL WIN THIS, IF
THINGS CONTINUE THE WAY THEY
ARE.
BUT AT THIS PARTICULAR MOMENT HE
IS BEHIND IN THE VOTE COUNT.
AND THE EARLY ANALYSIS OF WHAT
IS HAPPENING TONIGHT IS THAT THE
DOUG JONES VOTE IS TURNING OUT
IN A BETTER WAY THAN THEY HAD
PROJECTED, AND THE ROY MOORE
VOTE IS NOT AND HE'S NOT MEETING
THE BENCHMARK THAT HE NEEDED TO
MEET THIS AND IT'S NOT OVER YET
AND I'M NOT SAYING THAT IS WHAT
THE RESULT WILL BE, I'M JUST
TELLING YOU THAT THERE'S TWO
CLEAR WAYS TO LOOK AT THE
RESULTS RIGHT NOW THAT GIVE YOU
DIFFERENT IMPRESSIONS OF WHERE
WE ARE IN THE RACE.
THE NEXT HOUR IS GOING TO BE
CRITICAL.
>> Andrew: FAIR ENOUGH,
ABSOLUTELY.
AND DESPITE THE SAXOPHONE PLAYER
BEHIND YOU AND DESPITE HIS BEST
EFFORTS I GUESS THAT THE CROWD
WILL HOLD OFF ON GETTING TOO
EXCITED ABOUT THE RACE UNTIL WE
DO GET MORE CLARITY ON THE
RESULTS TONIGHT, BUT GIVE US
SOME PERSPECTIVE HERE BECAUSE
THE WORLD IS WATCHING THIS RACE,
RIGHT?
NOT JUST AMERICANS.
WHY IS THAT?
>> Reporter: SURE, ANDREW, I
MEAN, PEOPLE -- I THINK THAT
AROUND THE WORLD WHO PAID
ATTENTION TO WHAT WAS HAPPENING
HERE AND HEARD ABOUT THE
ALLEGATIONS THAT WERE MADE
AGAINST ROY MOORE ARE NATURALLY
WONDERING HOW IT IS THAT HE CAN
STILL MANAGE TO BE LEADING IN
THE VOTE COUNT HERE.
THEY WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT SAYS
ABOUT ALABAMA.
THEY WANT TO KNOW WHETHER IT'S
POSSIBLE FOR SOMEONE WHO HAS
BEEN ACCUSED OF THESE THINGS BY
CREDIBLE PEOPLE, IF IT'S
POSSIBLE THAT HE COULD STILL WIN
A SEAT IN THE UNITED STATES
SENATE.
THERE'S STILL A VERY STRONG
SENSE HERE THAT THIS WHOLE
CAMPAIGN EVEN BEFORE THE
ALLEGATIONS AGAINST ROY MOORE,
THE WHOLE CAMPAIGN WAS A
REFERENDUM ON DONALD TRUMP, THAT
IT WAS THE FIRST STATE-WIDE
ELECTION CAMPAIGN FOR A FEDERAL
SEAT AND THAT AS SUCH IT WAS A
GOOD MARK OF THE MEASURING
TEMPERATURE OF THE COUNTRY AND
HOW THE COUNTRY FEELS ABOUT THE
NEW PRESIDENT.
AND SO THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY
FOR PEOPLE TO ORIGINAL THEIR
VOTE.
AND, FINALLY, THERE'S REAL
CONSEQUENCES.
THE SENATE IN WASHINGTON IS
DIVIDED 52 REPUBLICANS AND 48
DEMOCRATS AND PICKING UP A SEAT,
DEMOCRATS PICKING UP A SEAT FROM
THE REPUBLICANS COULD MAKE A
DIFFERENCE.
IT COULD EVEN BE THE FIRST STEP
TOWARDS THEM RETAKING CONTROL OF
THE SENATE IN THE 2018 MID-TERM
ELECTION.
>> Andrew: A LOT IS AT STAKE,
KEITH BOAG IS JOINING US FROM
THE ROY MOORE HEADQUARTERS IN
ALABAMA.
THANK YOU, KEITH.
>>> KEITH MENTIONED DONALD TRUMP
AND A YEAR AGO ALABAMA VOTED FOR
DONALD TRUMP OVERWHELMINGLY AND
THIS RACE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A
BREEZE FOR ANY REPUBLICAN, BUT
ROY MOORE IS NOT JUST ANY
REPUBLICAN.
EVEN BEFORE THE ACCUSATIONS OF
SEXUAL MISCONDUCT HE WAS DEEPLY
POLARIZING.
>> Interview: I BELIEVE IN THE
SECOND AMENDMENT.
(*)
>> Andrew: ROY MOORE PAINTS
HIMSELF A LATTER-DAY JOHN WAYNE
RIDING TO THE POLLING STATION ON
HORSEBACK.
HIS POLITICAL BRAND IS
FIREBRAND.
>> Interview: ABORTION,
SODOMY, SEXUAL PERVERSION, SWEEP
OUR LAND.
>> Andrew: AND HE'S CERTAINLY
CONSISTENT.
>> Interview: SEXUAL
PERVERSION... WELL, THERE'S ONE.
>> Andrew: IN THE 1990s AS
AN ALABAMA JUDGE HE SAID THAT
TEACHING EVOLUTION IN SCHOOL
INSPIRED DRIVE-BY SHOOTINGS.
>>> Interview: THEY'RE ACTING
LIKE ANIMALS BECAUSE WE THOUGHT
THEM THEY COME FROM ANIMALS.
>> Andrew: HE SUGGESTED THAT
9/11 WAS GOD'S PUNISHMENT FOR
AMERICA'S PERVERSION AND IT'S
SAFE TO SAY THAT MOORE IS NO
FRIEND OF LGBT RIGHTS.
>> Interview: HOMOSEXUAL
CONDUCT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL.
>> Andrew: HE WAS TWICE REMOVE
AS ALABAMA'S CHIEF JUSTICE, ONCE
FOR REFUSING TO RECOGNIZE THE
LEGALIZATION OF GAY MARRIAGE,
BUT ALSO FOR REFUSING TO REMOVE
A 2 1/2-TONNE MONUMENT TO THE 10
COMMANDMENTS FROM THE LOBBY OF
HIS COURT.
BUT THE MOST RECENT SCANDAL ARE
THE ALLEGATIONS FROM MULTIPLE
WOMEN.
ONE ONLY 14 WHEN SHE SAYS THAT
HE TOUCHED HER IN A SEXUAL WAY.
ANOTHER 16 WHEN SHE SAYS THAT HE
VIOLENTLY SEXUALLY ASSAULTED HER
HER.
SO WE ARE KEEPING A CLOSE EYE ON
THE POLLS AND I CAN TELL YOU
RIGHT NOW THAT THEY'RE RUNNING
NECK-IN-NECK AND LESS THAN A
POINT IS SEPARATING THE TWO
CANDIDATES SO WE'LL UPDATE YOU
ON THE RESULTS LATER IN THE
HOUR.
>> Rosemary:.
>> Rosemary: DONALD TRUMP IS
IN HOT WATER AFTER A FEMALE
POLITICIAN CALLED
FOR THE PRESIDENT'S RESIGNATION.
A LASHING FROM TRUMP ON TWITTER
WAS HARDLY SURPRISING, BUT WHAT
HE POSTED THIS MORNING IS NOW
RAISING FRESH ALLEGATIONS OF
SEXISM AND EVEN WORSE.
PAUL HUNTER NOW WITH THE
FALLOUT.
>> Reporter: FOR A PRESIDENT
ALREADY BRANDED BY SOME A
BULLYING MISOGYNIST, THE
PUSHBACK BY DEMOCRATS ON ONE OF
HIS TWEETS THIS MORNING WAS
PARTICULARLY FIERCE.
TRUMP HAD TARGETED DEMOCRATIC
SENATOR KIRSTEN GILLIBRAND WHO
YESTERDAY CALLED ON TRUMP TO
RESIGN.
TODAY HE CALLED HER A
LIGHTWEIGHT FLUNKY WHO ONCE
BEGGED HIM FOR CAMPAIGN
CONTRIBUTIONS AND WOULD, QUOTE,
DO ANYTHING FOR THEM.
DEMOCRAT ELIZABETH WARREN
TWEETED AT TRUMP, ARE YOU TRYING
TO SLUT SHAME GILLIBRAND?
OTHERS
CALLED TRUMP'S TWEET
"GROTESQUE."
>> Interview: IT TOOK MY
BREATH AWAY AND IT REPRESENTS
THE CONDUCT OF A PERSON WHO IS
ILL-EQUIPPED TO BE THE PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES.
>> Interview: THAT TWEET WAS
NASTY AND UNBECOMING OF A
PRESIDENT.
>> Interview: IT WAS A SEXIST
SMEAR ATTEMPTING TO SILENCE MY
VOTE.
>> Reporter: GILLIBRAND'S CALL
YESTERDAY FOR TRUMP TO RESIGN
CAME AFTER THESE THREE WOMEN
RE-ACCUSED TRUMP OF SEXUAL
MISCONDUCT.
>> Interview: HIS HAND STARTED
GOING UP MY SKIRT...
>> Reporter: ALLEGATIONS FIRST
MADE PUBLIC BEFORE LAST YEAR'S
ELECTION AND NOW RE-ASSERTED IT
HAD DOZENS OF DEMOCRATIC
LAWMAKERS TODAY PRESSING
CONGRESS TO INVESTIGATE TRUMP'S
BEHAVIOUR.
>> Interview: NO MAN OR WOMAN
IS ABOVE THE LAW.
>> Reporter: AS FOR TRUMP'S
TWEET TODAY, GILLIBRAND
EMPHASIZED SHE WILL NOT BE
SILENCED.
>> Interview: NEITHER WILL THE
WOMEN WHO STOOD UP TO THE
PRESIDENT YESTERDAY.
>> Interview: I WILL TAKE YOUR
QUESTIONS.
>> Reporter: TO THE WHITE
HOUSE, WAS TRUMP'S TWEET SEXUAL
INNUENDO?
>> Interview: I THINK THAT
ONLY IF YOUR MIND IS IN THE
GUTTER WOULD YOU HAVE READ IT
THAT WAY AND SO, NO.
>> Reporter: HE'S USED THAT
"DO ANYTHING" PHRASE BEFORE,
SAID THE WHITE HOUSE, INCLUDING
TOWARDS MEN, FOR WHAT HE
CALLS A BROKEN SYSTEM ON CAPITOL
HILL.
[Applause]
AND SO IT IS THAT LIGHTWEIGHT,
FLUNKY, AND SLUT SHAMING JOINED
THE VENACULAR IN AND AROUND THE
WHITE HOUSE.
>> President Donald Trump:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, EVERYBODY.
>> Question: MR. PRESIDENT WHAT
DID YOU MEAN...
>> Reporter: THE PRESIDENT
HIMSELF CHOSE NOT TO EXPLAIN HIS
TWEET.
PAUL HUNTER, CBC NEWS,
WASHINGTON.
>> Rosemary: OKAY TO POLITICS
ON THIS SIDE OF THE BORDER NOW.
MORE CONTROVERSY SURROUNDING THE
MINISTER OF SPORT AND PERSONS
WITH DISABILITIES, KENT HEHR.
FOR THE THIRD TIME IN JUST A
WEEK NOW HE IS FACING
ACCUSATIONS OF BEING INSENSITIVE
AND INSULTING TO SOMEONE IN A
DIFFICULT SITUATION.
>> Interview: HE DOESN'T CARE.
HE DIDN'T CARE THAT DAY.
I WAS THERE WITH MY HUSBAND AND
WITH ANOTHER VETERAN SPOUSE AND
BOTH OF US ARE LOOKING AT EACH
OTHER AND GOING, HUH?
>> Rosemary: THIS WIFE OF A
VETERAN WITH PTSD SAID THAT HE
BRUSHED HER OFF DURING A MEETING
IN HALIFAX WHILE HE WAS VET
VETERANS' AFFAIR MINISTER.
LAST WEEK YOU MIGHT REMEMBER
THAT
HEHR WAS UNDER FIRE FOR COMMENTS
THAT HE MADE TO THALIDOMIDE
SURVIVORS SAYING, QUOTE,
EVERYONE HAS A SOB STORY AND HE
LATER APOLOGIZED FOR THOSE
COMMENTS AND AS DAVID COCHRANE
TELLS US, THE EMBATTLED MINISTER
IS HAVING TO DEFEND HIMSELF
TODAY YET AGAIN.
>> Reporter: BLAIR DAVIS FINDS
HAPPINESS WITH HIS ANIMALS.
>> Interview: YOU SILLY BOY.
>> Reporter: BUT BENEATH THE
SMILE IS A FORMER SOLDIER DRIVEN
TO THE EDGE OF SUICIDE BY PTSD.
>> Interview: THAT IS MY BOY.
>> Reporter: HIS WIFE, KIM,
QUIT HER JOB AS A COLLEGE
INSTRUCTOR TO SUPPORT HIM AT THE
PEAK OF HIS DESPAIR.
>> Interview: SHE'S MY PILLAR
AND MY STONE.
SHE'S THE ONE THAT I GO TO WHEN
I'M HAVING A BAD DAY AND I'M
HAVING A BAD NIGHT OTHER THAN MY
ANIMALS.
SO YOU KNOW, WITHOUT HER I
PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE HERE RIGHT
NOW.
>> Reporter: BUT WHEN SHE WENT
LOOKING FOR HELP FROM KENT HEHR
WHEN HEHR WAS VETERANS' AFFAIR
MINISTER, KIM DAVIS SAYS THAT IT
WENT BAD.
>> Interview: AND HE'S LIKE
WELL, YOU MARRIED HIM, IT'S YOUR
RESPONSIBILITY.
AND I'M LIKE, YEAH, I MARRIED
HIM, BUT YOU INJURED HIM.
>> Interview: IN NO UNCERTAIN
TERMS DID I SAY THAT.
>> Reporter: IT'S NOW A
FAMILIAR PATTERN, HEHR MEETS
WITH AN ORDINARY CANADIAN AND
THEY COMPLAIN.
>> (Speaker of the House):
ORAL QUESTIONS...
>> Reporter: THE OPPOSITION
POUNCES --
>> Interview: INSTEAD OF BEING
COMPASSIONATE THIS MINISTER
LAUNCHED A TAXPAYER-FUNDED
POLITICAL ATTACK ON A
VETERAN'S WIFE.
>> Reporter: HEHR DENIES IT.
>> Interview: I MET WITH KIM
DAVIS SOME TWO YEARS AGO AND I
THANKED HER AND HER HUSBAND FOR
THEIR TREMENDOUS SERVICE TO OUR
COUNTRY.
>> (Speaker of the House): THE
RIGHT HONOURABLE THE PRIME
MINISTER.
>> Reporter: THE PRIME
MINISTER IS LEFT TO MANAGE IT.
>> Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau: THE MINISTER RESPONDED
TO THOSE PARTICULAR ALLEGATIONS
AND HE APOLOGIZED FOR EARLIER
ONES.
>> Reporter: BLAIR AND KIM
DAVIS WATCHED THE DRAMA IN
OTTAWA UNFOLD ON THEIR
TELEVISION.
>> Interview: UM-HMM.
>> Reporter: THEY WEREN'T
IMPRESSED.
>> Interview: WHAT SHOULD THEY
DO?
THEY SHOULD
REMOVE HIM FROM BEING A
MINISTER.
HE HAS NO -- HE HAS NO EMPATHY
FOR ANYBODY THAT HE IS PUT IN
PLACE TO HELP TO PROTECT AND
ADVOCATE FOR.
IT'S NOT THE PORTFOLIOS, IT'S
THE PERSON.
>> Reporter: DAVID COCHRANE,
CBC NEWS, OTTAWA.
>> Rosemary: JUSTIN TRUDEAU
HAS CHOSEN A REPLACEMENT FOR
CHIEF JUSTICE BEVERLY
MacLACHLAN.
>> Interview: HE HAS THE
INTEGRITY AND THE WISDOM AND THE
COLLEGIAL SPIRIT, AND
COOPERATION THAT CHIEF JUSTICE
OF THE SUPREME COURT OF CANADA
NEEDS.
>> Rosemary: JUSTICE
RICHARD WAGNER IS FROM QUÉBEC
AND HE BEGAN HIS LEGAL CAREER IN
1980.
HE SERVED AS A JUDGE WITH BOTH
QUÉBEC'S SUPERIOR COURT AND
COURT OF APPEALS AND WAS NAMED
TO THE SUPREME COURT FIVE YEARS
AGO BY STEPHEN HARPER.
IN NAMING WAGNER CHIEF JUSTICE,
TRUDEAU UPHELD THE TRADITION OF
ALTERINATING BETWEEN A CIVIL
CODE JURIST FROM QUÉBEC AND A
COMMON-LAW ONE.
WAGNER, WHO IS FULLY BILINGUAL,
WILL BE SWORN IN NEXT MONDAY.
>>> LET'S GO TO IAN NOW WITH AN
UPDATE ON A STORY THAT CBC NEWS
HAS FOLLOWED CLOSELY.
>> Ian: ROSEMARY, AMID THE
SEXUAL HARASSMENT ALLEGATIONS,
THEY ARE MAKING HEADLINES
LATELY,
TONIGHT THERE'S VINDICATION FOR
WOMEN WORKING IN A VERY MALE
ENVIRONMENT OF FIREFIGHTING.
>> Interview: IT'S TOO BAD
THAT A MOVIE STAR HAS TO START A
CONVERSATION AND SUDDENLY THEY
PAY ATTENTION WHEN ORDINARY
WOMEN
FOR DECADES HAS BEEN SPEAKING
OUT AND NO ONE IS LISTENING AND
THAT'S WHAT IT WAS LIKE FOR ME.
>> Ian: AS PART OF A SETTLEMENT
WITH THE FORMER HALIFAX
FIREFIGHTER, LIANE TESSIER, THE
CITY AND ITS FIRE
DEPARTMENT ADMITTED TO HISTORIC,
SYSTEMIC GENDER DISCRIMINATION.
TESSIER HAS BEEN PUSHING FOR
THIS FOR MORE THAN A DECADE AND
THE CBC'S STEPHANIE vanKAMPEN
SAT DOWN WITH HER.
>> Interview: EVERYTHING FROM
THE VERY BEGINNING, 12 YEARS OF
STUFF.
I MEAN, THIS IS NOT EVEN -- NOT
EVEN ALL OF IT YET.
>> Reporter: ONCE A PLACE OF
INSPIRATION... NOW LIANE
TESSIER'S ART STUDIO, LIKE HER
LIFE, HAS BEEN OVERRUN BY THE
PURSUIT OF JUSTICE.
ONLY NOW ACHIEVED.
>> Interview: EVERY WOMAN WHO
HAS EVER SPOKEN OUT AND WHO EVER
DARED TO TELL THE TRUTH HAS BEEN
DESTROYED, YOU KNOW.
YOU'RE ATTACKED AND YOU'RE
HATED.
>> Reporter: TESSIER BEGAN
FIREFIGHTING AT 34 WITH THE GOAL
OF MAKING IT A CAREER.
SHE MADE CAPTAIN.
HER SKILLS WON THIRD PLACE AT
THE WORLD FIREFIGHTER
CHAMPIONSHIPS.
BUT SHE SAYS THAT SHE BEGAN TO
BE
BULLIED, OSTRACIZED AND
REGULARLY HAD HER EQUIPMENT
TAMPERED WITH BY SOME OF HER
COLLEAGUES.
WHEN SHE TALKED TO OTHER WOMEN
AT THE STATION, SHOCKING
REVELATIONS, THAT SHE WASN'T THE
ONLY ONE.
>> Interview: ONE WOMAN HAD
USED CONDOMS PUT IN HER BUNKER
HERE AND ANOTHER ONE HAD
THREATENING LETTERS PUT ON HER
LOCKER SAYING SHUT UP, BITCH.
OR ELSE.
ONE WAS THROWN DOWN A SET OF
STAIRS.
AND ONE WAS LEFT ALONE IN A
FIRE.
>> Reporter: SHE REPORTED THE
ABUSE TO HER EMPLOYER, BUT THE
SYSTEM THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HELP
ONLY MADE IT WORSE.
>> Interview: THEY JUST SORT
OF TOOK OVER WHERE THE MEN IN
QUESTION LEFT OFF AND JUST KEPT
DISMISSING MY COMPLAINTS.
>> Reporter: EVEN WORSE, SHE
SAYS THAT SHE FACED RETALIATION
FOR SPEAKING OUT.
THE STATION STOPPED CALLING HER
FOR SHIFTS AND SHE WAS DENIED A
FULL-TIME JOB AND EVENTUALLY
LEFT THE SERVICE.
>> Interview: I HAD TO REMIND
MYSELF THROUGHOUT THE BATTLE
THAT IT WAS ABOUT THEM AND NOT
ME.
>> Reporter: NOW TESSIER HAS
RELUCTANTLY AGREED TO A
SETTLEMENT THAT INCLUDES A
PUBLIC APOLOGY FOR HISTORIC
SYSTEMIC GENDER DISCRIMINATION,
COMPENSATION, AND POLICY CHANGES
TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR WOMEN TO
SPEAK OUT.
SOME OF WHICH HAVE ALREADY BEEN
MADE.
THE CITY DECLINED TO COMMENT FOR
THIS STORY.
HER LAWYER SAYS THAT TESSIER'S
COSTLY FIGHT WILL INSPIRE MORE
WOMEN TO SPEAK OUT.
>> Interview: I THINK THAT
IT'S HUGE.
I MEAN, I THINK THAT ANYTIME
YOU'RE ABLE TO STAND UP AND SAY
I KIND OF FOUGHT GOLIATH AND I
WAS A VICTOR, THAT'S A HUGE
ACCOMPLISHMENT.
>> Reporter: BUT THE
RESOLUTION DOESN'T FEEL LIKE A
WIN FOR TESSIER.
>> Interview: YOU KNOW, IT'S
ALL VERY WELL ABOUT THIS, AND IT
DOESN'T CHANGE WHAT HAPPENED TO
ME IN THE PAST AND ALL I CAN
HOPE FOR IS THAT YOU ARE JUST
LIKE A SPOKE ON A WHEEL OF
CHANGE.
>> Reporter: NOW SHE'LL KEEP
WATCH TO MAKE SURE THAT THE
PROMISE OF CHANGE ISN'T AN EMPTY
ONE.
STEPHANIE vanKAMPEN, CBC NEWS,
HALIFAX.

>> Andrew: AHEAD ON "THE
NATIONAL" TONIGHT... A JURY IS
DECIDING WHETHER TWO MEN ARE
GUILTY OF MURDERING A
23-YEAR-OLD TORONTO WOMAN.
BUT WHAT THE JURY DOESN'T KNOW,
THE PAIR IS ALREADY SERVING TIME
FOR ANOTHER KILLING.
>> Rosemary: AND JEAN YIP IS
THE NEW M.P. ELECT FOR
SCARBOROUGH-AGINCOURT, THE
RIDING WAS HELD BY HER LATE
HUSBAND, ARNOLD CHAN.
WE SIT DOWN WITH HER ON ABOUT
CARRYING ON HER HUSBAND'S LEGACY
LEGACY.

CHALLENGES OF ASKING A DOCTOR TO
HELP YOU DIE.
KAS ROUSSY SPENT MONTHS WITH ONE
WOMAN WHO FOUGHT TO END HER
LIFE.

ANYBODY AND I JUST WANT MY PEACE
AND MY QUIET.
AND I WANT TO STOP THIS, IN THIS
BODY, THAT I DON'T RECOGNIZE
(*)
(*)
>> Andrew: ON "THE NATIONAL"
TONIGHT... PEOPLE ACROSS EUROPE
ARE BRACING FOR POTENTIAL GAS
SHORTAGES AFTER A DEADLY
EXPLOSION AT ONE OF THE
CONTINENT'S KEY GAS HUBS.
THE BLAST IN EASTERN AUSTRIA
KILLED ONE PERSON AND INJURED 21
OTHERS AND CAUSED MAJOR PROBLEMS
ACROSS THE REGION.
GAS PRICES SPIKED AND, ITALY,
WHICH RELIES HEAVILY ON THAT
FACILITY, DECLARED A STATE OF
EMERGENCY.
POLICE ARE NOW INVESTIGATING THE
CAUSE BUT THEY'RE POINTING TO
SOME SORT OF TECHNICAL ISSUE.
NO IDEA YET WHEN THE FACILITY
WILL BE BACK ONLINE.
>>> THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS
OPENING UP THE COMPETITION TO
BUY 88 NEW FIGHTER JETS.
>> Interview: WE ALWAYS LOOK
FOR THE ECONOMIC BENEFIT WHEN WE
ASSESS BIDS, BUT NOW AS
MENTIONED WE'RE ESTABLISHING A
NEW TEST WHERE WE WILL ALSO BE
LOOKING FOR ECONOMIC HARM.
WHICH MEANS ANY COMPANY
RESPONSIBLE FOR ECONOMIC HARM TO
CANADA WILL BE AT A DISTINCT
DISADVANTAGE.
>> Andrew: THAT IS A THINLY
VEILED WARNING FOR U.S.-BASED
BOEING WHICH LAUNCHED A TRADE
COMPLAINT AGAINST MONTREAL-BASED
BOMBARDIER IN THE SPRING.
THE ANNOUNCEMENT ALSO MADE CLEAR
THAT OTTAWA'S PLAN TO BUY 18 NEW
SUPER HORNETS FROM BOEING IS
DEAD.
AS A STOP-GAP, THE GOVERNMENT
CONFIRMED THAT THEY'RE LOOKING
TO BUY 18 USED F-18s FROM
AUSTRALIA.
THEY'LL SUPPLEMENT CANADA'S
AGING CF-18 FLEET UNTIL NEW JETS
CAN
BE DELIVERED STARTING IN 2025.
>>> A TORONTO JURY IS
DELIBERATING IN THE MURDER TRIAL
OF TWO MEN ACCUSED OF KILLING
23-YEAR-OLD LAURA BABCOCK.
IT HAS BEEN A DISTURBING TRIAL
WITH GRAPHIC DETAIL, BUT FROM
THE VERY BEGINNING THERE'S
SOMETHING THAT THE JURY NEVER
HEARD AND WE WEREN'T ALLOWED TO
REMIND YOU ABOUT IT EITHER.
DELLEN MILLARD AND MARK SMICH
ARE BOTH ALREADY IN PRISON
CONVICTED OF FIRST-DEGREE MURDER
IN THE DEATH OF TIM BOSMA.
>> Interview: YOU DON'T NEED
HIM, BUT I DO, AND OUR DAUGHTER
NEEDS HER DADDY BACK.
>> Andrew: BOSMA WENT MISSING
IN MAY 2013.
HE WAS TRYING TO SELL HIS TRUCK
AND HE TOOK MILLARD AND SMICH
FOR A TEST DRIVE, BUT THEY
KILLED HIM AND INCINERATED HIS
BODY IN THE VERY SAME MACHINE
THAT THEY'RE NOW ACCUSED OF
USING TO BURN BABCOCK'S BODY
NEARLY A YEAR EARLIER.
LAURA BABCOCK DISAPPEARED IN
JULY 2012, JUST TWO DAYS AFTER
THIS VIDEO WAS RECORDED.
THE CROWN ARGUED THAT SHE WAS ON
THE WRONG END OF A LOVE TRIANGLE
WITH MILLARD AND ANOTHER WOMAN.
SMICH IS ACCUSED OF HELPING
MILLARD TO KILL HER.
THE GRISLY ACT OF VIOLENCE
INSPIRED HIS RAP LYRICS,
ACCORDING TO PROSECUTORS.
* SKIN AND BONE
* LAST TIME I SAW HER OUTSIDE
THE HOME *
>> Andrew: STILL SMICH AND
MILLARD DENY EVERYTHING AND
OTHER KEY EVIDENCE -- TEXTS,
LETTERS, CELLPHONE RECORDS AND
THIS PHOTO ON MILLARD'S PHONE
AND THE CROWN SAYS THAT IT'S
BABCOCK'S BODY.
AND ALSO VIDEO OF SOMETHING
BURNING IN THE INCINERATOR WHICH
COULD BE HER REMAINS.
THAT'S JUST PART OF THE MOUNTAIN
OF EVIDENCE THAT THE JURORS HAVE
TO SIFT THROUGH.
THE CBC'S SHANNON MARTIN HAS
BEEN IN THE COURTROOM FOR EVERY
TWIST AND TURN OF THIS COMPLEX
CASE AND SHE BRINGS US MORE ON
WHAT THE JURY DIDN'T HEAR.
>> Reporter: I WALKED BY THIS
STATUE AT THE COURTHOUSE IN
DOWNTOWN TORONTO DOZENS OF
TIMES.
IT'S CALLED "THE PILLARS OF
JUSTICE," AND IT REPRESENTS THE
PART OF THE LEGAL SYSTEM IN
WHICH THE PUBLIC MOST
PARTICIPATE -- THE JURIES.
WHAT MAKES IT SO SPECIAL IS THAT
THERE'S ONE EMPTY SPACE FOR YOU
TO IMAGINE YOURSELF AS THE
12th JUROR.
BUT JURIES DON'T OFTEN WITNESS
EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS DURING A
COURT CASE AND IN THIS CASE
AGAINST DELLEN MILLARD AND MARK
SMICH THERE WAS A LOT THAT WAS
KEPT FROM THE JURY.
COURTROOMS ARE PRETTY BASIC
PLACES, TABLES AND CHAIRS FOR
THE LAWYERS AND DEFENDANTS AND
USUALLY BENCHES FOR THE GALLERY
BUT GENERALLY PRETTY SIMPLE.
SO JURORS IN COURTROOM 27 MAY
HAVE BEEN CURIOUS ABOUT THE
HEAVY CURTAINS AROUND THE
CO-ACCUSED TABLES.
THAT WAS TO HIDE THE BELTS,
BINDING THEIR FEET, STEEL
SHACKLES WOULD HAVE BEEN TOO
LOUD.
EVERY MORNING
THE TWO MEN WERE BROUGHT IN
BEFORE THE JURY ARRIVED,
HANDCUFFED TOO, BUT THOSE WERE
TAKEN OFF.
AND WHY WAS THIS HIDDEN FROM THE
JURY?
TO AVOID HAVING TO MENTION THAT
MILLARD AND SMICH ARE ALREADY
CONVICTED KILLERS IN ONE OF THE
MOST GRUESOME CASES IN SOUTHERN
ONTARIO, A CRIME THAT WAS NEVER
MENTIONED IN FRONT OF THE JURY.
TIM BOSMA WAS JUST 32, HE HAD A
WIFE AND BABY GIRL AT HOME AND
THEY NEEDED SOME EXTRA CASH SO
THEY POSTED BOSMA'S TRUCK FOR
SALE ON KIJIJI.
IN MAY 2013, TWO MEN, MILLARD
AND SMICH, SHOWED UP AT HIS HOME
FOR A TEST DRIVE.
BOSMA WAS KILLED WITHIN MINUTES.
SHOT DEAD INSIDE OF HIS OWN
TRUCK.
HIS BODY THEN BURNED IN AN
ANIMAL INCINERATOR.
AFTER A FIVE-MONTH TRIAL MILLARD
AND SMICH WERE HANDED LIFE
SENTENCES, NO CHANCE OF PAROLE
FOR 25 YEARS.
>> Interview: FOR TIM
MURDERERS THEIR LIFE SENTENCE
BEGINS NOW AND OURS BEGAN OVER
THREE YEARS AGO WHEN THEY
MURDERED TIM.
>> Reporter: THE BAN ON ALL
THINGS BOSMA EVEN EXTENDED TO
BOSMA'S PARENTS WHO WANTED TO BE
THERE TO SUPPORT LAURA BABCOCK'S
FAMILY, BUT JUSTICE MICHAEL CODE
ADVISED THEM TO STAY AWAY.
THE GREATEST KIND OF SUPPORT
THEY CAN GIVE THE BABCOCK FAMILY
IS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET
THROUGH THIS TRIAL, HE SAID,
DURING A CLOSED DOOR LEGAL
DISCUSSION THAT THE JURY NEVER
HEARD.
I STRONGLY SUSPECT THAT THE
BABCOCK FAMILY FEELS THE SAME
WAY.
THE JURY AT THE BABCOCK TRIAL
GOT TO WITNESS SOMETHING
INCREDIBLY RARE -- ONE OF THE
ACCUSED REPRESENTED HIMSELF,
DELLEN MILLARD ACTED AS HIS OWN
LAWYER AND AS SUCH JUSTICE CODE
CUT HIM A LITTLE SLACK AND THE
JURY NEVER KNEW ABOUT.
MILLARD COMPLAINED THAT BEING IN
PRISON WAS AFFECTING HIS ABILITY
TO ACT AS HIS OWN LAWYER BECAUSE
HE WASN'T GETTING ENOUGH TIME TO
SHOWER AND SHAVE.
JUSTICE CODE CONSIDERED HIS
COMPLAINT.
I'M NOT SURE HOW LONG IT TAKES
YOU TO SHOWER AND SHAVE, BUT IT
TAKES ME ABOUT FIVE MINUTES, HE
SAID.
CODE MADE SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS
TO MAKE SURE THAT MILLARD GOT
ENOUGH TIME TO GROOM.
WHILE MILLARD WAITS TO LEARN
WHETHER THE JURY HERE FINDS HIM
GUILTY OF BABCOCK'S MURDER HE IS
STARING DOWN ANOTHER COURT
DATE THE JURY DIDN'T HEAR
ABOUT -- FIRST-DEGREE MURDER IN
THE DEATH OF HIS FATHER.
FOR MONTHS AFTER BABCOCK
DISAPPEARED HER FINAL PHONE CALL
TRACED TO MILLARD'S HOME, HIS
FATHER WAS FOUND DEAD IN HIS BED
AT THE VERY SAME HOME.
HE DIED OF A GUNSHOT WOUND TO
THE EYE, HIS DEATH WAS INITIALLY
RULED A SUICIDE.
SO ONCE AGAIN MILLARD WILL FACE
A JUDGE AND JURY THIS MARCH
WHERE THE PILLARS OF JUSTICE
WILL PERFORM THEIR DUTY AND YOU
MIGHT JUST FIND YOURSELF THE
12th JUROR.

CLASSIC BUT WILD.
SHEER PRODUCT OF THE 1970s.

LIVED AN UNCONVENTIONAL AND
COLOURFUL LIFE.
WHO IS THAT NOW?
>> Interview: THAT IS ME WITH
MY MOROCCAN BOYFRIEND.
THAT WAS IN MARRAKECH.
>> Reporter: YOU TRAVELLED A
LOT?
>> Interview: I HAD SUCH A
GOOD LIFE.
LOOK HOW FAT I AM.
>> Reporter: THAT'S YOU?
>> Interview: YES.
>> Reporter: WHOSE TATTOO IS
THAT?
>> Interview: THAT'S MY BUM.
>> Reporter: YOU'RE KIDDING?
>> Interview: NO.
THAT'S WHEN IT WAS NEW.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE
NOW.
>> Reporter: OVER A DECADE AGO
NANCY WAS DIAGNOSED WITH
PARKINSON'S DISEASE.
IS IT HARD FOR TO YOU LOOK AT
THESE PHOTOS?
>> Interview: NOT AT ALL.
PARKINSON'S TAKES AWAY YOUR
LIFE, CHEWS IT AWAY DAY-BY-DAY,
BIT-BY-BIT.
I LOVED COOKING AND COOKING WAS
MY THING AND I CAN'T EVEN STAND
IN THE KITCHEN NOW AND SLICE A
CUCUMBER.
>> Reporter: ALONE IN HER
SMALL APARTMENT WITH HER BELOVED
CATS, NANCY'S LIFE IS MOSTLY
CONFINED TO HER SOFA.
SHE HAS FEW RELATIVES.
>> Interview: OKAY, NANCY...
>> THANK YOU, MY SWEETS.
>> Reporter: BUT A COUSIN,
JANE, CHECKS IN HER EVERY MONTH
OR SO AND HELPS OUT WITH CHORES.
>> Interview: THIS LOOKS
DELICIOUS, THANK YOU, JANE.
>> Interview: YOU'RE WELCOME.
>> Reporter: ENDING HER LIFE
ON HER OWN TERMS HAS ALWAYS BEEN
HER WISH.
SO WHEN MEDICALLY ASSISTED DYING
BECAME LAW IN CANADA IN 2016,
SHE THINKS THAT SHE COULD GET
WHAT SHE WANTS.
>> Interview: I'VE HAD SUCH A
FULL LIFE.
I MEAN, I AM SO LUCKY THAT I
HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TRAVEL AND
HAVE WONDERFUL FRIENDS AROUND
THE WORLD AND EAT GREAT FOOD AND
DRINK GREAT WINE.
I DON'T WANT TO BECOME THE
DROOLING VEGETABLE MASS THAT I
SOMETIMES DO BECOME ALREADY.
>> Reporter: WITH HER
CONDITION WORSENING, NANCY NEEDS
A DOCTOR WHO CAN HELP HER.
THE FIRST OBVIOUS CHOICE WAS HER
FAMILY PHYSICIAN, DR. PAUL
CRAMER.
>> Interview: IT WAS LATE LAST
WINTER WHEN SHE CALLED ME AND
ASKED ME WHAT I THOUGHT ABOUT IT
AND I SAID THAT I AGREE AND
WOULD I HELP HER.
>> Reporter: BUT AFTER
CONSULTING WITH A MALPRACTISE
LAWYER, HE IS TOLD THAT HER
ILLNESS DOESN'T FIT THE NEW
LAW'S CRITERIA THAT A DEATH HAS
TO BE REASONABLY FORESEEABLE.
SO YOU BELIEVE THAT NANCY HAS
THE RIGHT TO DIE?
>> Interview: LEGALLY, NO, BUT
MORALLY, YES.
>> Interview: I'M NOT HURTING
ANYBODY.
I JUST WANT MY PEACE AND MY
QUIET AND I WANT TO STOP THIS --
IN THIS BODY THAT I DON'T
RECOGNIZE ANYMORE.
>> Reporter: WITHOUT DR.
CRAMER'S HELP, NANCY HAS TO FIND
ANOTHER DOCTOR WHO WILL.
WITH HER COUSIN JANE THEY BEGIN
TO NAVIGATE THROUGH A
BUREAUCRATIC PROVINCIAL HEALTH
CARE SYSTEM AND A MEDICAL
COMMUNITY UNCERTAIN ABOUT THEIR
DUTY TO THEIR PATIENTS.
I KNOW FOR A LOT OF DOCTORS
RIGHT NOW THAT THERE HAS BEEN
THE FEARS OF LITIGATION.
IT'S ALSO NEW.
IT'S SO NEW.
>> Interview: YOU TOO.
>> Reporter: SEVERAL PHONE
CALLS TO THE PROVINCIAL MINISTRY
OF HEALTH FINALLY GETS NANCY THE
RESULTS THAT SHE WAS LOOKING
FOR.
>> GOOD MORNING, GOOD MORNING,
HOW ARE YOU FEELING THIS
MORNING?
>> I'M TIRED.
I WISH IT WAS LAST MONTH AND NOT
NEXT MONTH.
I REALLY DO.
>> Reporter: THIS TORONTO
DOCTOR HELPS PEOPLE DIE, BUT HIS
FAMILY IS DEEPLY RELIGIOUS AND
DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE DOES.
FOR THIS REASON WE'RE NOT
IDENTIFYING HIM.
>> Interview: I MET NANCY
THROUGH THE PROVINCIAL CARE
COORDINATION SERVICE AND, YOU
KNOW, WHEN I FIRST MET HER I SAW
SOMEONE WHO WAS FRAIL AND COULD
HARDLY WALK TO HER OWN WASHROOM
AND WAS CONFINED BASICALLY TO
THE SPACES OF HER OWN APARTMENT.
>> Reporter: NANCY'S STORY
HIGHLIGHTS THE DILEMMA, WHY DOES
ONE DOCTOR SAY YES AND ANOTHER
SAY NO?
>> Interview: IT PUTS A DEGREE
OF PRESSURE ON THE DOCTOR
HIMSELF TO HAVE TO PREDICT WHEN
A PATIENT IS GOING TO DIE.
I WOULD NEED SOME ASSURANCE THAT
I WOULD BE NOT ARRESTED AND SENT
TO JAIL.
>> Interview: HOW ARE YOU
>> Interview: HOW ARE YOU
FEELING ABOUT GOING AHEAD WITH
THIS?
I THINK THAT NANCY'S FAMILY
DOCTOR HAD THE BEST OF
INTENTIONS WHEN HE TRIED TO
ACTUALLY FIND OUT IF THIS WAS
SOMEONE WHO QUALIFIED.
YOU KNOW, OF COURSE, THAT YOU
CAN CHANGE YOUR MIND AT ANY
TIME.
IT DOESN'T AFFECT ANY OF THE
MEDICAL CARE THAT YOU GET BUT,
OF COURSE, IT'S UP TO YOU.
>> Interview: I AM JUST HAPPY
THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE THERE.
>> Reporter: IT'S NANCY'S
FINAL DAY.
THE DOCTOR HAS ARRIVED.
>> HELLO.
>> HELLO.
>> HI, EVERYONE.
I SEE THAT YOU'VE GOT THE MUSIC
ON AND EVERYTHING.
>> WE HAD A LITTLE POWER OUTAGE.
>> LOVELY, LOVELY.
WE'LL GET YOU TO SIGN ONE LAST
CONSENT FORM AND THEN I'LL TELL
YOU --
>> UP TO THE STARS.
>> I'LL TAKE THINGS FROM THERE.
>> IT'S JUST CRAZY TO SEE THAT
HER MIND IS 100% BUT SHE'S IN SO
MUCH PAIN THAT SHE NEEDS TO GO.
>> ALL RIGHT, EVERYONE.
WE'LL ALL GATHER AROUND.
LET'S GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD.
WE'RE GOING TO GET YOU OFF TO
SLEEP, OKAY?
>> HAVE A GOOD, GOOD SLEEP, MY
LOVE.
>> ARE YOU STARTING TO FEEL
SLEEPY THERE, NANCY?
>> UM-HMM...
>> OKAY, NANCY, I'M GOING TO
START GIVING YOU THE PROPOFOL
AND IT WILL PUT YOU INTO A DEEP,
DEEP COMA, OFF YOU GO.
>> SLEEP...
>> IT'S OKAY, YOU CAN LET GO.
OKAY.
I'M GOING TO MOVE ON TO THE NEXT
MEDICINE NOW.
I'M GOING TO JUST HAVE A LISTEN
TO NANCY'S HEART AND LUNGS.
SHE'S GONE.
>> BLESS YOUR HEART, MY LOVE.
>> Ian: A LOT TO THINK ABOUT AND
A VERY MOVING DOCUMENTARY.
DR. MARTIN IS JOINING US NOW AND
YOU WERE IMPRESSED BY THAT
DOCTOR.
>> Interview: I WAS, WHAT A
MOVING STORY AND WHAT AN
EXCEPTIONAL PERSON NANCY WAS AND
WHAT A DIGNIFIED DEATH, QUITE
AMAZING.
>> Ian: IN YOUR PRACTISE WHEN
YOU'VE HAD A PATIENT COME TO YOU
AND ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT THE
OPTIONS HE OR SHE MIGHT HAVE,
HOW DOES THAT CONVERSATION GO?
>> Interview: I MEAN, OFTEN
PEOPLE DO JUST WANT TO HAVE A
CONVERSATION ABOUT THEIR OPTIONS
AND THEY WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT
PALLIATIVE CARE LOOKS LIKE AND
THEY WANT TO UNDERSTAND AT WHAT
POINT MIGHT THEY BE ELIGIBLE FOR
A MEDICALLY ASSISTED DEATH AND I
THINK THAT AS CANADIANS ARE
LEARNING AND PHYSICIANS ARE
LEARNING WHAT IT'S LIKE IN
THIS NEW WORLD, YOU KNOW, WE'RE
18 MONTHS IN AND THE GROUND IS
SHIFTING BENEATH OUR FEET, WE'RE
ALL TRYING TO DEVELOP A NEW
LANGUAGE FOR HAVING THESE
CONVERSATIONS.
>> Ian: YOU KNOW THIS AS A
DOCTOR, THAT PATIENTS WILL GO
JUST ABOUT
ANYWHERE FOR INFORMATION, TO
FRIENDS AND GOOGLE, HEALTH
CANADA HAS A WEBSITE THAT CAN
HELP THEM THROUGH THIS.
>> Interview: HEALTH CANADA
HAS AN EXCELLENT WEBSITE THAT
HAS LINKS TO ALL OF THE
DIFFERENT PROVINCIAL AND
TERRITORIAL PROGRAMS.
SOME PROVINCES HAVE A VERY
CENTRALIZED AND COORDINATED
APPROACH TO MEDICALLY ASSISTED
DEATH AND OTHERS ARE MORE
DECENTRALIZED AND THEN,
OF COURSE, FOR MOST PEOPLE THEIR
FAMILY DOCTOR IS ALSO A GOOD
PLACE TO START AND EVEN FOR
THOSE PHYSICIANS WHO ARE
CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTORS THEY
WILL HELP TO DIRECT THE PATIENT
TO THE RIGHT INFORMATION SO THEY
CAN PURSUE THAT IF THAT'S WHAT
THEY WISH TO DO.
>> Ian: WITH JUST 30 SECONDS, WE
SAW THAT IT WAS DIFFICULT WITH
THE FAMILY DOCTOR THERE.
>> Interview: IT'S A MEDICAL
DEFINITION AND NOT A LEGAL
DEFINITION SO THE DETERMINATION
OF WHETHER OR NOT A DEATH IS
FORESEEABLE IS ULTIMATELY UP
TO A PERSON'S MEDICAL JUDGMENT,
BUT IF A PERSON GETS A FIRST
OPINION THAT ISN'T WHAT THEY
WERE HOPING FOR THEY DO ALWAYS
HAVE THE OPTION TO SEEK OUT
OTHER OPINIONS AND ULTIMATELY
TWO DOCTORS HAVE TO AGREE THAT
THIS PERSON IS ELIGIBLE BEFORE A
PROCEDURE CAN TAKE PLACE.
>> Ian: AS YOU SAW THERE TWO
DOCTORS CAN COME TO DIFFERENT
CONCLUSIONS.
DR. MARTIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> Interview: THANK YOU.
>> Andrew: WELL IN A LOT OF
WAYS THIS SCENE SPEAKS FOR
HIMSELF.
BRAYING NEWS OUT OF ALABAMA.
A HUGE JEP SET.
DEMOCRAT DOUG JONES HAS WON THE
DAY.
HE WILL BECOME THE NEXT U.S.
SENATOR FROM ALABAMA AND, BY THE
TITUS OF MARGINS.
RIGHT NOW SITTING LESS THAN A
PERCENTAGE POINT.
THIS IS ALL TO DEFEAT THE
REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE ROY MOORE
WHO NOT ONLY HAS BEEN FIGHTING
FOR HIS POLITICAL LIFE TONIGHT
BUT ALSO HAS BEEN FIGHTING
SEXUAL ASSAULT ALLEGATIONS.
ALABAMA IS A DEEP RED STATE SO
THIS IS A MAJOR TURN AND IT
CHANGES THE DYNAMIC IN THE U.S.
SENATE WHERE THE REPUBLICAN
MAJORITY IS ALREADY RAZOR THIN,
SO ALL KINDS OF BIG CONSEQUENCES
EXACTLY OUT OF TONIGHT'S RESULT
BUT WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW FOR
NOW, THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE
DOUG JONES HAS WON THE NIGHT IN
TONIGHT'S SENATE RACE IN
>> Interview: I TAKE
INSPIRATION FROM THE PEOPLE WHO
HAVE LOST THEIR PARTNERS IN LIFE
AND SINGLE PARENTS WHO HAVE
MOVED FORWARD AND CONTINUED
THEIR DREAMS.
[Applause]
>> Rosemary: FOR JEAN YIP LAST
NIGHT IT WAS A BY-ELECTION WIN
AFTER A YEAR OF TREMENDOUS LOSS.
SHE WON 49% OF THE VOTE TO
BECOME THE NEW M.P. FOR THE
ONTARIO RIDING OF
SCARBOROUGH-AGINCOURT, THAT'S
THE SAME SEAT HELD BY HER LATE
HUSBAND, ARNOLD CHAN.
HE DIED OF CANCER JUST THREE
MONTHS AGO.
JEAN YIP AND I SAT DOWN BEFORE
HER ELECTION VICTORY TO TALK
ABOUT HER LATE HUSBAND, HER
KIDS, AND HER POLITICS.
>> WHAT WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW
WHEN WE CAN LISTEN, WE LISTEN TO
ONE ANOTHER DESPITE OUR STRONG
DIFFERENCES.
THAT'S WHEN DEMOCRACY REALLY
HAPPENS.
THAT'S THE CHALLENGE THAT'S
GOING ON AROUND THE WORLD RIGHT
NOW.
NO ONE IS LISTENING.
EVERYONE IS JUST TALKING AT ONE
ANOTHER.
>> Rosemary: THOSE POWERFUL
WORDS DELIVERED BY ARNOLD CHAN
IN JUNE WAS NEAR THE END OF HIS
BATTLE WITH CANCER.
>> Interview: IN SO DOING WE
MAKE THIS PLACE A STRONGER
PLACE.
>> Rosemary: JUST THREE MONTHS
LATER CHAN DIED AT THE AGE OF
50.
>> Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau: IT'S MY SINCERE HOPE
THAT THE MEMBERS IN THIS HOUSE
FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE
JOIN
ME IN PAYING TRIBUTE TO ARNOLD
BY WAY OF LISTENING.
>> Rosemary: LATER MEMBERS OF
PARLIAMENT PAID TRIBUTE TO HIS
WIFE, JEAN YIP AND HER SONS.
YIP HAS TAKEN HER HUSBAND'S
WORDS TO HEART MORE THAN ANYONE,
CHOOSING TO FULFILL HIS LEGACY.
SHE RAN IN A BY-ELECTION TO
REPLACE HIM IN THE RIDING THAT
HE REPRESENTED AND LAST NIGHT
SHE WON.
>> Interview: I KNOW THAT HE
WOULD BE SO PROUD OF ME TODAY.
>> Rosemary: I WANTED TO KNOW
WHAT LIFE HAS BEEN LIKE FOR HER
AND HER FAMILY OVER THE LAST FEW
MONTHS AND WHAT CALLS SOMEONE
INTO PUBLIC SERVICE AFTER SO
MUCH LOSS.
CAN YOU TAKE ME BACK TO SORT OF
THE THOUGHT PROCESS BEHIND YOU
DECIDING THAT YOU WANTED TO BE A
LIBERAL CANDIDATE IN THE SAME
RIDING AS YOUR HUSBAND?
>> Interview: WELL, IT
HAPPENED IN THE SUMMERTIME.
ARNOLD WAS -- WE WERE JUST
HAVING A QUIET CONVERSATION JUST
TALKING AND THINKING ABOUT THE
FUTURE AND I BROUGHT IT UP.
IT WASN'T ARNOLD, I BROUGHT IT
UP.
AND THEN HE THOUGHT ABOUT SOME
OF THE THINGS THAT HE STILL
WANTED TO DO IN THE RIDING AND
ULTIMATELY HE THOUGHT THAT IT
WAS A GREAT IDEA.
AND THEN WE TALKED TO THE KIDS,
IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE
KIDS WERE ONBOARD, IF THEY
WEREN'T I WASN'T GOING TO DO IT.
AND SO WITH EVERYBODY ON BOARD I
THOUGHT, WELL, WHY NOT.
>> Rosemary: SO YOU SAY THAT
YOU BROUGHT IT UP TO HIM AND IT
JUST CAME TO YOU AND WHAT
MOTIVATED IT, DO YOU THINK?
>> Interview: I THINK THAT IT
WAS BECAUSE THE COMMUNITY ARNOLD
HAD SUCH SUPPORT WHEN HE WAS IN
OFFICE AND DURING THE COUNCIL
JOURNEY THAT I THOUGHT THAT IT
WAS MY TURN TO GIVE BACK.
>> Rosemary: SIMPLE AS THAT?
>> Interview: YEP.
>> Rosemary: WHEN YOU SAID IT
TO HIM WHAT WAS HIS REACTION?
>> Interview: HE WAS SURPRISED
AND THEN HE THOUGHT ABOUT THE
KIDS, IT'S ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT THE
KIDS FOR ARNOLD.
>> Rosemary: IT WAS A LONG
BATTLE.
>> Interview: YES.
>> Rosemary: YEAH.
TELL ME HOW HE WAS WHEN IT CAME
BACK THE SECOND
TIME AND WHEN IT STARTED TO GET
REALLY BAD.
>> Interview: HE WAS
DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE HE FELT
THAT THERE WAS SO MUCH MORE THAT
HE COULD DO PROFESSIONALLY AND
PERSONALLY.
AND AS IT PROGRESSED HE NEVER
COMPLAINED, HE WAS ALWAYS SO
STRONG, EVEN WHEN THERE WAS A
COMBINATION OF TREATMENTS, HE
STILL INSISTED ON GOING TO
OTTAWA.
I DON'T BELIEVE THAT HE MISSED
ANY VOTES, THAT WAS VERY
IMPORTANT TO HIM.
>> MR. CHAN...
>> Interview: AND THE CAUCUS
MEMBERS WERE SO SUPPORTIVE AND
WHEN THEY FELT HE HAD HAD ENOUGH
I
WOULD GET A TEXT OR A PHONE CALL
SAYING THAT HE'S NOT DOING SO
GOOD.
AND THEN I WOULD FIND A WAY TO
GET HIM BACK TO REST.
>> Rosemary: DID YOU EVER
THINK THAT HE WAS PUSHING
HIMSELF TOO HARD?
>> Interview: YES, I DID.
BUT HE FELT THAT IT WAS VERY
IMPORTANT TO CONTINUE TO
REPRESENT THE PEOPLE THAT VOTED
FOR HIM.
>> Rosemary: YOU HAVE BEEN
MARRIED 19 YEARS?
>> Interview: YES, AND IT
FEELS TOO SHORT.
>> Rosemary: WAS HE FROM THE
GET-GO WAS HE LIKE THAT, DID HE
ALWAYS WANT TO GIVE BACK?
>> Interview: YES.
YEAH, AND POLITICS WAS VERY MUCH
IN HIS BLOOD AND HE TOLD ME
RIGHT AWAY.
>> Rosemary: SO YOU SAID THAT
HE WAS DISAPPOINTED WHEN THE
CANCER CAME BACK BECAUSE HE HAD
LOTS LEFT TO DO BUT THERE CAME A
POINT, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN,
WHERE THAT JUST BECAME
IMPOSSIBLE.
I DON'T KNOW HOW HE CAME TO THAT
DECISION OR YOU CAME TO THAT
DECISION THAT HE JUST
COULDN'T -- HE SHOULDN'T GO TO
WORK ANYMORE?
>> Interview: I THINK THAT
AFTER THE FINAL SPEECH HE
REALIZED THAT IT MAY BE HIS
FINAL SPEECH AND THEN WITH THE
SUMMER BREAK.
>> Rosemary: I WATCHED THAT
SPEECH JUST THIS MORNING AGAIN
AND I HAD SEEN IT OBVIOUSLY WHEN
IT HAPPENED BUT I WATCHED IT
AGAIN TO REMIND MYSELF OF WHAT
HE SAID BECAUSE IT STRUCK A LOT
OF PEOPLE FOR LOTS OF DIFFERENT
REASONS.
AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
STRUCK ME IS WHAT HE SAID ABOUT
YOU.
I MEAN, HE HAD PARTICULAR THINGS
THAT HE WANTED TO SAY ABOUT
EVERYTHING BUT TO YOU HE WANTED
TO TALK ABOUT DEVOTION.
>> I SIMPLY COULD NOT HAVE ASKED
FOR A MORE DEVOTED PARTNER IN
LIFE AS I HAVE WALKED THROUGH
THIS JOURNEY.
JANE, WITHOUT YOU, NOTHING --
NOTHING.
SO...
[Applause]
>> Rosemary: WHAT DOES THAT
MEAN TO YOU?
>> Interview: WELL, I THINK
THAT IT MEANS COMMITMENT AND I
THINK THAT IT MEANS LOVE.
AND JUST SUPPORT.
>> Rosemary: YEAH.
AND HE TALKED ABOUT HIS PARENTS
AND HOW STRONG THEY WERE IN
SUPPORTING HIM TOO.
AND I COULDN'T GET OVER SORT OF
THE LOVE THAT HE HAD FOR HIS
PARENTS AND HIS BROTHER.
>> Interview: WELL, HIS
PARENTS HAVE DONE A LOT FOR HIM,
INCLUDING BEING INVOLVED IN HIS
CAMPAIGN, AND I THINK THAT IS
ASKING A LOT FOR A PARENT.
YEAH.
>> Rosemary: IN THOSE LAST FEW
WEEKS WHAT WAS THAT LIKE, WHAT
WERE YOU DOING AS A FAMILY IN
THOSE LAST FEW WEEKS?
>> Interview: WELL, WE WERE
SEEING A LOT OF HIS FRIENDS COME
TO THE HOUSE AND WE KNEW THAT WE
WANTED TO HAVE EVERYONE TO SAY A
FINAL GOODBYE AND THEN WE WANTED
TO MOVE FORWARD AND SPEND TIME
AS A FAMILY AND SADLY, WE DIDN'T
GET THAT TIME.
THE BOYS HAD A DAY AND A HALF,
JUST WITH HIM.
AND WE TOOK THEM OUT OF SCHOOL.
>> Rosemary: WHAT WAS THAT DAY
AND A HALF THAT THEY HAD WITH
THEIR DAD LIKE?
>> Interview: THEY SPENT THE
WHOLE TIME PLAYING BOARD GAMES
BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY REALLY
ENJOYED.
AND HE WAS STILL ABLE TO DO
THAT.
>> Rosemary: DID HE SPEND SOME
TIME TALKING TO THEM, DID HE
PASS ON ANYTHING TO THEM AT THAT
POINT?
OR HAD HE SAID EVERYTHING THAT
HE NEEDED TO SAY.
>> Interview: HE HAD SAID
EVERYTHING THAT HE NEEDED TO SAY
AND HE WAS TRYING TO SPEND MORE
TIME WITH THEM THROUGH THE MONTH
BUT WE JUST DIDN'T ANTICIPATE
IT.
AND WE THOUGHT THAT THERE WOULD
BE A COUPLE MORE MONTHS AND THAT
WE WOULD HAVE MORE FAMILY TIME
TOGETHER.
>> Rosemary: THE PRIME
MINISTER CAME AS WELL?
>> Interview: YES, HE DID.
>> Rosemary: WHAT WAS THAT
LIKE?
>> Interview: IT WAS LATE
AUGUST.
HE WAS SO PLEASED TO SEE THE
PRIME MINISTER AND I THINK THAT
YOU'VE SEEN THAT PHOTO THAT'S ON
THE PRIME MINISTER'S FACEBOOK, I
THINK THAT IT REALLY TELLS A
STORY OF ARNOLD WITH THE
HOSPITAL BED IN THE MIDDLE AND
HIM ASKING THE PRIME MINISTER TO
JOIN HIM IN SINGING YOUR SONG BY
ELTON JOHN.
>> Rosemary: AND THEY SANG
THAT TOGETHER?
>> Interview: THEY SANG IT
TOGETHER.
>> Rosemary: THEY WERE
FRIENDS?
>> Interview: YES.
>> Rosemary: THE REASON THAT I
WANTED TO TALK TO YOU IS BECAUSE
IT'S HARD FOR SOME PEOPLE TO
UNDERSTAND LOSING YOUR HUSBAND
AND THEN SUDDENLY SAYING I'M
GOING TO PICK UP THAT MANTLE.
SO EXPLAIN TO ME AND TO PEOPLE
WHY YOU -- WHY YOU FEEL THAT YOU
HAVE TO DO THAT.
>> Interview: I AM NO
DIFFERENT THAN ANYONE ELSE WHO
HAS LOST A SPOUSE, YOU KNOW,
THERE ARE PLENTY OF SINGLE
PARENTS WHO HAVE NO CHOICE, THEY
HAVE TO PICK UP, THEY HAVE TO
LOOK FORWARD.
AND BY STAYING IN POLITICS I
STILL FEEL CONNECTED TO HIM.
>> Rosemary: I HEARD AT THE
FUNERAL THAT HE HAD RECORDED A
VIDEO.
THAT EVERYONE WAS VERY -- IT WAS
A VERY EMOTIONAL FUNERAL.
>> Interview: YES, YES, IT WAS
HIS WAY OF SAYING GOODBYE TO
EVERYONE BECAUSE HIS LIFE WAS SO
PUBLIC AND HE JUST WANTED PEOPLE
TO KNOW.
IF YOU INVITE THEM TO A FUNERAL
THEN I THINK THAT YOU SHOULD BE
ABLE TO SAY SOMEBODY, RIGHT?
>> Rosemary: WHAT DID HE SAY
IN THE VIDEO?
>> Interview: WELL, HE THANKED
EVERYONE FOR THEIR SUPPORT AND
HE TALKED ABOUT THE FAMILY AND
HE TALKED ABOUT HOW IMPORTANT
FRIENDSHIPS ARE THAT YOU MAKE
AND TO HANG ON TO IT.
AND IT WAS JUST A KIND OF LIKE A
GOODBYE LOVE LETTER TO NOT JUST
THE PUBLIC BUT TO HIS PARENTS
AND HIS FRIENDS, HIS COLLEAGUES.
>> Rosemary: TO YOU?
>> Interview: TO ME, YEAH.
>> Rosemary: JEAN YIP WILL BE
SWORN IN AS THE NEW MEMBER OF
PARLIAMENT IN
SCARBOROUGH-AGINCOURT AFTER THE
M.P.S. RETURN FROM THEIR
CHRISTMAS BREAK.
