Yes, according to the Department of Justice, earlier this week, Deputy Minister John H. Sims -- a three-plus-decade veteran of the civil service -- gave notice, via widely-distributed letter, that he would be leaving his post, effective April 1.
What the CBC did not report was that John Sims had been accused of lying in documents filed in Federal Court and he was he was due to appear in Federal Court on April 20, 2010, to defend against an accusation that had lied in written submissions that were filed in the Court in June, 2008, and which were used to dupe a Federal Court Prothonotary acting as case management judge in the WaterWarCrimes lawsuit. In fact, the Chief Justice of the Federal Court, Alan Lutfy had ordered Sims and all opposing legal counsel advise the Court by April 1, 2010 if he would be attending in person or by telephoneconference.
