1 Introduction
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") was engaged by Farris Vaughan, Wills & Murphy
("Farris") to conduct a forensic accounting investigation into the financial activities of the
former Board of Directors, who served from approximately December 2005 to November
-
2006 ("Prior Council"), of the Kwantlen University College Student Association ("KSA").
This report has been prepared by me, Mary Ann Hamilton CA IFA, on behalf of
_. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP under the direction of Robert J. Sandy CAIFA, CACBV who
is the person primarily responsible for its contents.
-
This report includes the significant financial transactions that I found during my review of the
documents located at the KSA main office, including the KSA bank account transactions from
January to November 2006. There are other financial transactions that I considered in my
review, but due to the lack of documentation at the KSA main office, and time and budget
constraints, I did not include in this report. In particular, I have concerns with the accuracy
and legitimacy ofthe payroll payments made by the KSA during the period January to
November 2006; however given the lack of payroll records, employee files and other records
to support these payments I could not verify whether certain individuals, paid by the KSA,
actually performed duties for the KSA.

3.2 Other Payments by the KSA between January and November 2006
The KSA made other payments of note between January and November
2006 as follows:
1. The KSA paid Bilal Cheema $5,000 on August 10, 2006. There were no supporting
documents for this amount located at the KSA office or approval in the minutes of the
meetings of the Board of Directors. Bob Sandy and I spoke with Bilal Cheema who
provided copies of a contract and an invoice (see Section 6.4);
2. The KSA paid $10,202 to Rogers Wireless for cell phone numbers related to the
following names: Yasser, Danish, Meenu, Joey, Jaivin, Abeer Ahmad, Kulvir and one
unidentified cell phone number (see Section 6.3); and
3. The KSA paid $20,050 to three different individuals and one company to fund an event
called the "After Party". Although I located a contract for this event, I could not locate
(10)
any receipts for this event and I did not find approval for this event in the minutes of
the meetings of the Board of Directors (see Section 6.6).
3.3 Rogers Wireless Charges Incurred November 2006 to March 2007
The KSA's account with Rogers Wireless in the name, "Yasser Ahmad Kwantlen Student
Association", was charged $6,016 from November 2006 to March 2007. These amounts were
charged to cell phone numbers related to the following names: Meenu, Danish, Joey, Jaivin,
Yasser, Abeer Ahmad and one unidentified phone number. The amount owing to Rogers
Wireless as of March 7, 2007 was $6,526. No cell phones were returned to the current KSA
Council members by staff or former Council members (see Section 6.3).
- 3.4 High Risk Investments and Special Purpose Funds
It appears that the KSA cashed in over $620,000 in investments with the CIBC in December
2005. It also appears that these funds were used by the KSA to loan $580,000 to Westlund
Properties Corp. and $40,000 to Apex Communications Inc. and Andrew Westlund. The
$580,000 loan is secured by a second mortgage against a commercial property in Surrey and a
personal guarantee of Andrew Westlund. The $40,000 loan, as described in the promissory
note, is unsecured. The regulations of the KSA dated February 18,2005 ("KSA Regulations")
prohibit high-risk investments. These investments appear high-risk because the promissory
note is unsecured and the commercial property in Surrey has a first mortgage from Roynat Inc.
of$l,lOO,OOO with a term of April 15, 2004 to March 15,2009 and an assessed value of
$1,277,000 from the City of Surrey for the 2006 tax year (see Section 6.1).
The KSA lent $200,000 to Inderjit Johal on an unsecured basis from the KSA Health and
Dental bank account. Inderjit Johal is not known to any of the current KSA Council and staff.
The KSA Regulations require that Health and Dental funds be used only for supplying KSA
members with health and dental related services. Inderjit Johal has repaid this loan (see
Section 6.2).
3.5 Transactions out of the Ordinary Course of Business
The August 21, 2006 Court Order did not allow the Interim Council to incur or pay any
expenses out of the ordinary course of business. The KSA paid Dolo Investigations for
surveillance work conducted on October 19, 2006. The invoice was addressed to Aaron
Takhar and not the KSA. This payment appears out of the ordinary course of business for the
KSA (see Section 6.5).
(11)
3.6 Deletion of Email Correspondence
Rob Wilson ofPwC performed the computer forensic analysis and found that 4,495 emails
had been deleted from the email server on October 31, 2006, which is the last day that the
Prior Council had control over the KSA's computer system (see Section 4.3).
3.7 Missing Accounting Records and Supporting Documentation
Various records, such as the fiscal 2006 electronic accounting records for the KSA and
supporting documentation for payments made out of the KSA bank accounts, could not be
located (see Sections 4.4 and 4.5).
3.8 Bank Signatories
The KSA Regulations require two authorized signatures on all cheques and three authorized
signatures on cheques of $3,000 or more. In February 2006, the Prior Council changed the
bank signatory requirement with the CIBC to require only one signature on all cheques (see
Section 4.6).
4 Tasks and Activities of PwC
4.1 Background
The current Council of the KSA were elected to their positions as a result of a Court Ordered
Student Election from October 17 to 19,2006. The Court Order stipulated that the newly
elected Council would assume office on November 1, 2006.
On November 1,2006, Andy Joyce ofPwC and I attended at the Surrey Campus of the KSA
to take copies of the computer hard drives, prepare an inventory of major items and assist in
securing the premises.
4.2 November 1, 2006 Activities
On November 1,2006 at 8:00 AM Andy Joyce ofPwC and I attended at the Surrey
campus of Kwantlen University College. I met Mat Huff and Laura Anderson,
recently elected Directors of the KSA. The KSA main office was locked. I entered the
KSA cafe at approximately 8:30 AM and noted the cafe was open for business.
The Surrey Campus Council ("SCC") office is another office of the KSA accessed
through the cafe. It was opened at approximately 9: 15 AM by a person referred to as
"Shameel" by Mat Huff.
(12)
I had been advised by Mat Huff that an employee of the KSA, Deepkamal, would be
attending to unlock the KSA main office. Andy Joyce and I waited for Deepkamal to
amve.
As Deepkamal had not yet appeared, Andy Joyce and I entered the SCC office at
approximately 9:55 AM. I took an inventory of major items and Andy Joyce took a bit
stream image of one of the computers located in the SCC office. Andy Joyce and I left
the SCC office at approximately 11 :45 AM in anticipation of accessing the KSA main
office.
The KSA main office was unlocked by Stafford Richter at approximately 1:05 PM.
Andy Joyce and I entered the KSA main office with Stafford Richter, his brother
Sterling, Mat Huff, Johnny Woo, Sean Tutt and Duncan Keist. The KSA main office
consisted of a waiting area, front desk, meeting room, photocopy area and five locked
inner offices. The KSA main office was very disorganized.
At approximately 1:30 PM Mark Bell, Director of Security for Kwantlen University
College, attended at the KSA main office to unlock the five inner offices.
At approximately 3: 10 PM Aaron Takhar attended at the KSA main office and
proceeded to his inner office. Mat Huff asked Mr. Takhar to leave. Mr. Takhar agreed
to leave but removed the following items that he maintained were his personal
belongings: a photograph and a box of stationary with the letterhead "AST Ventures
Ltd.". Mr. Takhar stated that AST Ventures was his friend's company. Mr. Takhar
left the KSA main office at approximately 3:30 PM.
Andy Joyce proceeded to take a bit stream image of the computer hard drives located
in the KSA main office.
I entered the office ofYasser Ahmad which was completely disorganized. I located a
cash register till placed on top of one of the cabinets with accounting records piled on
top of it. The cash register till contained $1,834 worth of cash, Cineplex and Faresaver
tickets. There was a locked safe located in Mr. Ahmad's office which I did not have
access to; however, none of the cash was stored in the safe.
I entered the office of Aaron Takhar which was very disorganized. There were boxes
of old accounting records piled beside one of the desks; accounting records were
strewn all over one desk, in disarray. Some miscellaneous cancelled cheques were
piled on top of the boxes of accounting records. I found endorsed, post-dated cheques
addressed to the KSA in one of the desk drawers. I found unopened bank statements
on the bookcase shelves.
(13)
I entered the other inner offices of the KSA main office and found them completely
disorganized with some accounting records on the desks rather than filed, dirty clothes
left in one comer and some boxes of promotional material for students piled against
one wall. I spoke with Mat Huff, Steve Lee and Johnny Woo concerning the state of
the office records. I advised them to go through every office and desk to properly
organize the accounting records. I also indicated that this would be a time consuming
project that was better performed by the KSA staff rather than hiring accountants such
as Pwc.
During the evening a locksmith, who had been hired by Mat Huff attended and
changed the locks on the KSA offices and lounges on all Kwantlen University College
campuses. He provided the new keys to Mat Huff.
I stayed at the KSA main office until approximately 8:50 PM when the KSA main
office was secured by Johnny Woo. While securing the KSA main office three men
walked up to the door and demanded access to the KSA office to retrieve certain
personal belongings. The three individuals were not granted access to the office
however Johnny Woo did retrieve some clothing and a gym bag and gave those items
to the three gentlemen.
4.3 Electronic Documents
The computer forensic analysis was performed by Rob Wilson under the direction of David
Iverson, both ofPwC. A summary of the work performed is attached in Appendix B. The
names for the computer searches were provided by me to Mr. Wilson.
I was instructed by David Borins of Farris to recover all documents deleted from the computer
hard drives and computer servers of the KSA. Rob Wilson ofPwC performed the computer
forensic analysis and found a large number of records that had been deleted on October 31,
2006. In particular, Mr. Wilson found that 4,495 emails had been deleted from the email
server, referred to as the Shadow, on October 31,2006. Mr. Wilson was able to recover
previously deleted emails and documents, or portions of them.
I spoke with Deepkamal Sarang on January 10,2007. Mr. Sarang informed me that he was
instructed to delete emails and did so because the instructions came from his boss. Mr. Sarang
was reluctant to name the person who instructed him but eventually advised me that the
instructions came from "Danish Butt and those individuals".
All emails referred to in this report were recovered by Rob Wilson ofPwC who discovered
that they had been deleted from the KSA's computers. Throughout this report where I refer to
(14)
email correspondence recovered from the KSA's computers, I identify the individual
connected with that specific email address.
4.4 Paper Documents
PwC Tasks Performed
I was informed by Steve Lee that he would organize all of the documents in the KSA main
office. Steve Lee told me that he had organized all ofthe documents in the KSA main office
except for the records in the former office ofYasser Ahmad. I reviewed the boxes prepared
by Steve Lee at the KSA. There were very few electronic accounting printouts, some bank
statements, a few expense reports and some correspondence.
In addition to the documents described above, I obtained the bank statements, cancelled
cheques and deposit books from Rolando Navarro, the financial administrator of the KSA.
Rolando was working out of the former office of Yasser Ahmad and had located those records
in that office. At my request Rolando also provided some supplier invoices, that were not yet
filed, and payroll information from Ceridian, the payroll provider for the KSA.
On January 11, 2007, I reviewed the documents in the former office of Yasser Ahmad, that
had not been reviewed by Steve Lee. I located a box of supplier invoices. These invoices
were in addition to the invoices previously located by Mr. Navarro. I also located other
relevant 2006 fiscal year records such as cash control sheets, cheque stubs and
correspondence.
On March 14,2007, I reviewed additional documents organized by Steve Lee during his
review of the KSA office, and filed by Rolando Navarro, which had not been previously
provided to me. I did not locate any additional expense reports, general ledger accounting
records or missing invoices.
Expense Reports
I spoke with Desmond Rodenbour, Rolando Navarro, Steve Lee and Deepkamal Sarang about
expense reports relating to the period January 1 to November 1,2006. Messrs. RodenboUf,
Navarro and Lee indicated that they had not found any additional expense reports that had not
already been provided to me. Mr. Sarang, an employee with the KSA since 2005, informed
me that the expense reports for 2006 did exist and were filed in a black filing cabinet in the
former office of Aaron Takhar. Mr. Sarang searched the former office of Aaron Takhar and
the former office ofYasser Ahmad but could not locate these records.
Based on Mr. Sarang's insistence that he submitted expense reports in 2006, it seems that
expense reports did exist for 2006 but that some of these documents were removed before
November 1, 2006.
(15)
4.5 KSA accounting records and supporting documents - PWC F"indings
As described in sections 4.3 and 4.4 above, I could not locate significant records of the l(SA.
I would expect the following records to be maintained by the KSA:
a. Electronic copy of the accounting records for the 2006 fiscal 'year maintained in an
accounting software program. The software program would identify the financial
transactions of the KSA and be used to generate the financial statements and reports
such as the general ledger;
b. Paper copies of the electronic accounting records for the 2006 fiscal year such as the
cheque ledger, general ledger, accounts payable listing and payroll ledger;
c. Expense reports, signed and approved, with the original receipts attached and filed by
name for 2006;
d. All invoices approved and filed by supplier name for 2006;
e. Minutes for the meetings of the Board of Directors or Council and the Executive
Council filed in a binder with approval of the minutes evident; alld
f. Employee files for all staff including wages, hOllrs paid and regulatory forms
completed.
During my review I did not locate the 2006 fiscal year electronic acco'unlting records. I ldid
locate one electronic spreadsheet identifying the KSA transactions from January to April 1,
2006; however, in comparing some transactions in that spreadsheet tC) the actual
activity I found discrepancies. I would expect the KSA to maintain and update the electronic
accounting records, on a regular basis; updated accounting records w'ould assist the KS)\. in
making operating decisions, ensuring their suppliers/Government are paid on time and to
ensure that they have sufficient funds in the bank at any' point in
I recreated the KSA's bank account activity in the four CIBC bank accounts (operating, cafe,
capital, health and dental) using the cancelled cheques, lbank statemeJnts and deposit books
from January to November 2006. The cafe fund bank account did not have any activity other
than the initial transfer into the bank account of $1 ,000.
I only found a few expense reports, other than a file fol(ler expense reports for Joe
Bajwa, in various places in the office. I organized these expense reports by name in a box kept
at the KSA main office. I could not locate any expense reports for sonle of the KSA staff, in
particular Mohammad Hussain, Yasser Allmad, Jaivin Khatri and Jatinder Atwal.
(16)
I did locate a box in the fonner office ofYasser Ahmad with invoices addressed to the KSA,
filed by name for fiscal 2006 (such as suppliers for the cafe, office supplies etc) but there were
some invoices missing, in particular, there was no folder of invoices frani AS1' Ventures or
Aaron Takhar.
I did find electronic copies of some minutes and agendas for the Council, Board of Directors
and the Executive Board and some minutes put together in a file folder in the desk of Aaron
Takhar; however, I would have expected the Councilor Board of Directors' minutes and all
resolutions and special resolutions, to be filed chronologically in a binder.
I understand that a number of KSA employee files could not be located by the KSA staff.
It appears that the Prior Council were either not keeping proper records or they deliberately
removed these documents from the KSA main office. I base tllis observation on e:mails I
found indicating the Prior Council's poor record keeping and previous attempts to destroy
email correspondence:
1. Email correspondence between the email address.aaron.takhar(@kusa.ca. identified as
Aaron Takhar and email addresses identified as KSA staff and Directors, d.atecl May
21, 2006 discussing the destruction of emails regarding the referendum question (see
Appendix C):
"deep, danish said hes [sic] already spoken to you about the email
from the kusa.ca domain to gallivan's anonomous [sic] feedback
service about the leak ofthe referendum question. what [sic] is the
status ofyour search into this leak ofin/ormation? did [sic] it indeed
come from our email system? let [sic] me know, thanks
Also, this is a reminder to all ofyou that Gallivan's lawyer has asked
us to "turn over" any emailslmemos on THIS system to them so that
they can know whether or not the referendum WAS INDEED IJre
planned... make sure to delete ANYAND ALL gallivan materielI from
your INBOX, DRAFT and SENTfolders (including this email and any
replys [sic] to it in your SENTfolder)
we [sic] cannot continue to underestimate gallivan, lets [sic] show
them some respect and nail them to the wall!
D.ELETE EVERYTHINGI
deep, can you please make sure that even once its [sic] deleted that
they can't get to it? i [sic] don't know what the chances are but we
dont [sic] want to take ANY chances!
(17)
thanks"
2. Email correspondence from the email address.aaron.takhar@k-usa.ca. identified as
Aaron Takhar to the email address.president@kusa.ca. identified as Danish Butt dated
April 24, 2006 with the title "young parents program" (see Appendix D):
" ... this needs to be taken care ofbecause there are a lot ofcheques
going out and no proper recor(1 keeping... "
3. Email correspondence from the email address.aaron.takhar@kusa.ca. identified as
Aaron Takhar to email addresses iclentified as KSA staff and Directors dated June 7,
2006 with the title "EFFICIENCY?!?!" (see Apl)endix E):
" .. .people secretly "borrowing" money. i J{sicJ know you say to ME
well YOU dont [sic] need to "borrow" monl:y because you ,already
have it ... well to that I say, "well, was I "borrowing" mOne)l last year
when I was making LESS than :vou are this year? "
the borrowers: Jaivin, danish andjoey.... all in different w a ~ v s , also
kulvir i [sic] might add, but hes [sic] paid his dues (at least in dollar
terms)
.. .BTW: yasser and menu, not so bad, but dont [sic] get swept into the
stupidity when you can avoid it ... "
The organization of the accounting records, missing records and lack of any 2006 electronic
accounting records has cost the KSA unnecessary expense. The missing accounting records
also calls into question whether any professional accounltant can provid.e an unqualified audit
opinion on the 2006 financial statements of the KSA.
(18)
4.6 Bank Signatories and Authorizations
The KSA Regulations require a minimum of two signatures on all and three
signatures on any cheques of $3,000 or more. This two signature n1inimum requirement is a
basic internal control to ensure that all expenses are properly approved before payment is
made. Navdeep Bains of CIBC provided the following documents, regarding changes to the
KSA signature requirements:
Letter from AarOl1 Takhar, Danish Butt, Jatinder Atwal and Pa\ran Bassi of the KSA to
Shirley Straumford of the CIBC dated January 26, 2006 informing CIBC that:
"Please be aware ofour policy changes effective immediately:
Transactions ofless than ($1,000) one-thousand dollars vvill require
only one signature. Transactions of($1,000) one-thousand dollars or
more will require two signing officers to sign. In the case D.-f online
transactions to be setup [sic] shortly by CIBC, only one individual,
Aaron Takhar, will have authority over all online transactions.
Details regarding the implementation ofthis plan require further
discussion. It is in the primary stages ofdevelopmerlt. "
Letter from Aaron Takhar, Danish Butt, Jatinder Atwal and Yasser Ahmad of the KSA
to Navdeep Bains ofCIBC dated February 6,2006 informing the CIBC that:
H please be advised ofthe following changes in relation to our
internal policies:
We no longer require t)lVO signing officers for amounts 0.[$1,000 or
more. All transactions will require only the authority ofone signing
We would also like to setup [sic] our online accounts and
have them in full operation. Our contact person for all online
transactions will be Aaron Takhar. This will enhance our ability to
pay bills and transfer funds electronically. Ule appreciate .yourfull

Letter from Aaron Takhar, Danish Butt, Jatinder Atwal and Pavarl Bassi of the KSA to
N avdeep Bains of CIBC dated March 8, 2006 informing the CIBe tllat:
" .. .please be advised ofthe follovving changes in relation to our
internal policies:
We no longer require two signing officers for amounts of$1,000 or
more. All transactions will require only the authority ofone signing
officer. We would also like to setup [sic] our online accounts and
have them in full operation. Our contact person for all onliYle
transactions will be Aaron Takhar. This will enhance our ability to
pay bills and transfer funds electronically. We appreciate your full
cooperation in the setup [sic] ofthis service. The resolution ofthe
Executive is as follows: Resolved that all online transactions be
handled by Aaron Takhar. Further Resolved that Yasser Ahrned [sic]
be granted authority to view "read only" accounts also online. Passed
March 1, 2006. "
The change in the bank signatory to one signature for all transactions is in contravention of the
KSA Regulations. From my detailed review of the bank transactions the KSA began to issue
cheques with only one signature in late December 2005.

6 Detailed Findings
During my review of the KSA conlputers and electronic records, I could not locate any
electronic accounting records for the KSA for the 2006 fiscal year. I did locate some printollts
of accounting reports for 2006, indicating that electronic accounting records for 2006 did
exist.
I understand that during an interview with Desmond Rodenbour at the KSA main office,
Yasser Ahrnad advised that the 2006 accountin.g records for the KSA were maintained on a
portable laptop computer that Mr. Ahmad says he left on his desk in his KSA office on
October 31, 2006. In email correspondencewithme.Mr. Ahmad stated that the laptop was
left in his office at approximately 4:30pm on October 31,2006. I compiled an inventory of
high value items in the KSA main office, by office. There was flO laptop in the offic'e of
Vasser Ahmad when I entered his locked on November 1, 2006.
(21)
I recreated the bank account activity for the KSA from January to November 2006 anel noted
certain payments.
Transactions With Individuals Or Companies Not To The
The KSA was involved in the following transactions with individuals or companies, not
related to the KSA, which up to this point in my investigation I found ll0table:
$580,000 loan to Westlund Properties Corp. and $40,00() promissory loan to A..pex
Conlmunications Inc. and Andrew Westlund (Section 6.1)
$200,000 loan to Inderjit Johal out of the Health alld Delltal Fund (Section 6.2)
$1,053 paid to Rogers Wireless on the account of Gurpreet Cheema and $10,202 paid
to Rogers Wireless on the account of the KSA (Section 6.3)
$5,000 paid to Bilal Cheema (Section 6.4)
$1,776 paid to Dolo Investigations (Section 6.5)
$20,050 paid to Vancouver RMR Station, Harpreet Daljit Sandhu and I-Iarjit
Sandhu for an event called the "After Party" (Section 6.6)
6.1 Mortgage with Westlund Properties and Promissor':y Note from Apex
Communications
It appears that the KSA withdrew over $620,000 from their investments in December
2005 and lent the funds to Westlund Properties Corp., Apex COlnmunications Inc. aIldl Andrew
Westlund.
The KSA loaned Westlund Properties Corp. ("Westlund") $580,,000 on December 21, 2005
for two years at 5% interest per year. This loan is secured. by a second mortgage on a
commercial building located in Surrey and a personal guarantee by Andrew WestluTIld.
In addition to the second mortgage, the KSA also loaned Apex ("Apex.")
and. Andrew Westlund $40,000 on January 1,2006 for two years at 5% per year, as described
in a prolnissory note. There was no security for tIle promissory note.
I reviewed the Apex Website and found that Apex is a telecomrIlunications company founded
by Andrew Westlund, who is also the company President. operates retail outlets in
British Columbia providing telecommunications and security services. Edmund Lim is the
(22)
Vice President Finance of Apex. I reviewed a corporate search for W and fOUIld that
Andrew Westlund is the President.
For the following reasons I consider these loans to be high risk investnlents:
a. The promissory note from Apex and Mr. Westlund is urlsecure(i: and
b. The KSA second mortgage securing the $580,000 loan rnay not be fully secured
because the property located at 13734 104
th
Avenue in Surrey (the "Surrey
has an assessed value of $1.277 million (according to 2006 City of Surrey tax
assessnlent) and was assessed at $1.142 million in 2005; however there is a Roynat
Inc. first mortgage with a principal value of $1.1 milliorl registered against it. The
tenn of the Roynat Inc. mortgage is April 15, 2004 to March 15,2009. We do not
know the amount owing on the first mortgage.
The KSA Regulations prohibit high risk investmeIlts.
Section VIII, Article 7.6 of the KSA Regulations states:
"The Society shall not invest in high-risk investments, such as stock
speculation, junk bonds or unregulated commodities. n
I was advised by James Broad, the lawyer who registered the second mortgage, that
a "special resolution" was passed and signed by the Board of Directors approving this
investment. I did not find a copy of this special resolution in the KSA lnain office (as noted in
Section 4.5 above, I would expect all resolutions and m1.l1utes to be filed in a binder). I was
provided with the following documents from Mr. workiJng paper files by Farris:
December 19,2005 letter from Aaron Takh.ar as Chairperson and Director of Fi.nance
of the KSA to James Broad instructing Mr. Broad to proceed with the loan;
Minutes of the Executive Board Meeting dated Decenlber 6, 2005 that includes the
following resolution:
"Investments - As mentioned before, Aaron, Jaivin and ..loey have
been in talks with a private investment firm and htlVe approved the
deal. It is now up to this Board to rnake afinal decision.
Motion: EBOD 2005-307 Jaivin/Joey

January 5, 2006 letter from Aaron Takhar as Chairpersoll and Director of Fina:nce of
the KSA to James Broad instructing as follows:
"The difference in the amount ofthe mortg"age to Apex
Communications Inc., $40,000 and the actual arnount given in
trust to you, $580, 000 can be given to Apex Inc.
based on them signing a promissory note in the amount of
$40, 000. An amendment to the mortgage is not "
Navdeep Bains of the CIBC provided the following docurnents to me:
December 7, 2005 letter from Aaron Takhar as Chairperson and Director of Finance to
Mr. Bains instructing the CIBC to transfer $580,000;
December 14, 2005 letter from the KSA Executive Boar'ld of Directors to Navdleep
Bains instructing the CIBC to transfer $580,000 from the investment portfolio;, and
Minutes of the Executive Board Meeting dated Decembler 6, 2005 that includes the
resolution for an investment with a private investment firm.
An<irew Westlund of Apex refused to speak with me, I told to contact Edrnund
Lirrl, Vice-President Finance of Apex. Although Mr. Lim was 110t involved in the mortgage
negotiations between Westlund and the KSA, he did provide following informatiorl:
a. Aaron Takhar was introduced to Andrew Westlun<l throlLgh a friend of Aaron r-rakhar;
b. Aaron Takhar approached Andrew Westlund regarding a loan from the KSA to Apex;
c. Andrew Westlund did not meet with any other representatives of the KSA, COllncil
members or staff, regarding this loan, other than Aaron lrakhar; and
d. Apex considered the $40,000 promissory note between the KSA and Apex to b,e
secured by the Surrey property.
(24)
Aaron Takhar refused to attend an interview with me and Bob Sandy. Bob Sandy arid. I
invited Mr. Takhar to provide comments on the January 25, 2007 interim reporting letter of
PwC and those comments are attached as Appendix R. M[r. Takhar disagreed with m)'
reference to the applicability of the February 18, 2005 regulatiollS of the KSA; howev,er I
understand from a review of the affidavit of Desmond Rodenbollr, dated November 22,2006,
that Mr. Justice Tysoe ordered that the correct regulations governing the KSA are the
regulations dated February 18,2005. Mr. Takhar did not :provid.e me with a copy oftlle
regulations he claims were in effect at the time of this mortgage: so I cannot comment on those
regulations.
I received, from Titus Gregory of the KSA, a copy of KSA regullations dated January 6, 2006
("January Regulations"), found in the former office of Aaron Takhar. It\.lthough the date
(JaIluary 6, 2006) on the January Regulations is after the date (I)ecember 21, 2005) of the
mortgage with Westlund, it's possible that these are the KSA that Mr. Takhar
referred to in his comments to me. I reviewed this document anJd have the following
observations:
Section I, Article 1.4 of the January Regulations includes a definition for the position
of Executive Advisor (a position not defined in the KSA Regulations) with duties such
as advice on "financial matters and investments, in addition to other duties. This
position may be contracted out ifdeemed necessary. ";
Section I, Article 1.4 of the January Regulations includes a definition entitled of
Meeting Motion (this definition is not included in the KSA Regulations) with the
following definition "shall mean the resolution sig'ned a.rId passed by at least three (3)
Executive members. Executive members being one ofthe following: President,
Treasurer, Vice President Internal Affairs, Vice President External Affairs, Vice
President Events & Student Life. The resolution must be presented to the Boar,d of
Directors ifanother voting Board member wishes to challenge it. The Board
entertain a motion to disprove it by a majority vote ";
Section II Article 7.8 of the KSA Regulations inclu.des trLe following text whicll was
not included in the January Regulations "While in camert;l, Council shall not consider
or vote on motions that require a Two-thirds (2/3) Resolution, including chancges to the
Regulations or Policies ofthe Society ";
Section VIII Article 4.4(vi) of the KSA Regulations provjdes for Council to apI>rove
the Executive Board minutes in which a contract is appro'ved before a contract ean be
signed. The January Regulations do not require this approval of Council a
contract can be signed;
(25)
Section VIII Article 4.6 of the January Regulations allo,;v contracts to be approved with
an out of meeting motion approved by the President, Treasurer and Vice
External Affairs. The KSA Regulations require a Two-thirds resolution of Council. In
addition the KSA Regulations include subsections 7 to 11 regarding contracts. These
subsections were not included in the January Regulations;
Section VIII Article 7.1 of the January Regulations states that the Executive Advisor
and the Treasurer co-manage the financial investments of the KSA. The KSA
Regulations states that the General Manager and the Director of Finance co-manage
the financial investments of the KSA; and
Section VIII Article 7.4 of the January Regulations state "The Executive Advisor and
the Treasurer, on their joint approval, mayt purchase or Jplace the Societys [sic.l assets
in investments such as Realestate [sic] or reasonably secure land investments, as well
as any other investment yvith a reasonable [sic] secure rate ofreturn ". The same
section in the KSA Regulations state "The General Manager and the Director of
Finance, on their joint approval, may purchase or place the Society's assets in secured
investments such as deposit accounts, ofdeposit, savings bonds, investment
grade bonds and investments, government treasury bills and guaranteed invest,ment
certificates. ".
It seems that the January Regulatons provide significant financial decision making
responsibilities with the Executive Advisor anel the Treasurer. These January Regtllations
also specifically refer to real estate investments requiring the approval of only the
Execlltive Advisor and the Treasurer. It seems that these inclusions in tIle January
Regulations may be a retroactive method to ensure that the ITlortgage with Westlun.d would
"be an acceptable investment according to the regulations of the KSA.
.Mr. Takhar disagreed with my conclusion that the mortgage and promissory note are high
risk, Mr. Takhar stated that it was at the discretion of the KSJA to determine what VIas
high-risk. My reasons for considering the loans high risk are: described above. Mr. Takhar
indicated that the commercial property assessment available to the KSA at the was
outdated and that the value of the property was not accurately reflected. Mr Takhar stated
that the KSA did its own research; I have not been provided or located any of the
research performed by the KSA, at the time the loan was approved. I have not beerL
I)rovided with any information to support the assertion that the Surrey property was
11ndervalued at the time of the loans.
(26)
I also reviewed the following documents:
a. Mortgage document from a company named Kultak Financial II1C. ("Kultak") to
Westlund in the amount of $150,000 dated October 11, 1996 for a one year term and
signed and filed by James Broad, Barrister & Solicitor. The mortgage document lists
the address of James Broad as 9337 Scott Road I)elta BC V4C 6R8;
b. BC Company Search for Kultak Financial II1C. dated November 8, 2006, showing Alan
Takhar and Kuldip Takhar as directors. The address for Alan alld Kuldip Takllar is
listed as 13862 56A Street Surrey BC V3S 2X5. The registered address for Kultak is
listed as 9337 Scott Road Delta BC V4C 6R8;
c. Insurance document for Westlund, as the insurecl, dated May 30, 2005 showing Kultak
as a creditor on the Surrey property;
d. Ceridian payroll printout of the KSA listing the address of Aaron Takhar as 13862 56A
Ave. Surrey BC;
I have the following observations:
The December 6, 2005 Executive Board. Meeting minutes refer to a private
investment firm but the mortgage is with a telecommunications company;
The December 6, 2005 Executive Board Meeting minutes did not m.ention the total
amount of ftlnds to be loaned to Apex trLerefore the KSA Board Members may not
have realized the amount of the loan;
Correspondence between Aaron Takhar and CIBC indicates tIlat the amount of the
funds to be transferred was $580,000; it is ul1certain why the additional $40,000
was loaned as a promissory note instead of increasing the mortgage to $620,000;
and
Kultak loaned money to Westlund in 1995. Alan and Kuldip Takhar are tb.e
shareholders of Kultak. The addresses for Alan and Kuldip Takhar and Aaron
Takhar are listed as the same. It seems l i k e l ~ y that Alan and Kuldip Takhar are
related to Aaron Takhar. It seems that the KSA nlay have been introduce(l to
Westlund and Apex through the Takhar family's prior relationship.
(27)
6.2 Inderjit Johal
The KSA entered into a loan agreement with Inderjit Johal on March 11, 2006 with the
following terms:
a. $200,000 principal amount;
b. Due date of October 15, 2006; and
c. Annual interest rate of 6%.
Mr. Johal's promissory note was witnessed by Danish Blutt and Joey Atwal and appears to
have been unsecured.
I could not locate any KSA Council minutes or other documentatioll approving or indicating
the reasons for this loan.
I note that the funds advanced to Inderjit Johal were paid out of the KS.A Health and I)ental
bank account on March 13, 2006. During my review I noted a special I<'SA bank account with
the CIBC entitled "Health and Dental Premium Furld". This account appears to be used to
administer the health and dental funds collected an,l disbursed by the KSA, as required by the
KSA Regulations noted below.
The repayment of this loan, including accrued interest, was made on November 17, 2006;
more than one month after the loan became due. Desmond Rodenbour found the promissory
note along with the undeposited cheque fronl Inder::iit Johal on November 15, 2006. Given the
size of the investment, the cheque should have been deposited on the due date of October 15,
2006.
Section VIII, Article 8.5i of the KSA Regulations states:
"The KSA Health and Dental Fund
... the fund was designated by the membership to only be usedfor the
purpose ofsupplying members yvith health and dental insura,nce
coverage and related services. "
I note that the loan appears to be an investment for the KSA to generate interest incorne and
was not used for the purpose of supplying members with health and dental insurance coverage
and related services, as required in the Regulations,.
(28)
Section VIII, Article 7.6 of the KSA Regulations states:
"The Society shall not invest in high-risk investments, such as stock
speculation, Junk bonds or unregulated commodities. "
This loan appeared to be a high-risk investment. I base this on tIle following:
There was no documented due diligence on Inderjit Johal (unknown to the
current Council) in particular, nothing to indicate the credit history of
Inderjit Johal;
there is no approval by the KSA Board of Directors;
there was no security for this loan; and
the loan was a significant amount, representing 29% of the total funds in
the Health and Dental bank account on March 13, 2006 (the date the funds
cleared the KSA bank account).
Section VIII, Article 1.7 of the KSA Regulations states:
"Cheques and other officialfinancial instruments dealing with
expenditures shall be signed by two (2) signing officers, once the
appropriate level ofauthority has approved the expenditure.
However, ifthe cheque or other official financial instrument
represents an expenditure ofthree thousand dollars ($3000.00) or
more, it shall require the signatures ofthree (3) signing officers. "
The $200,000 cheque addressed to Inderjit Johal dated March 11, 2006 was
signed by only two parties; Danish Butt and Joey Atwal. The KSA Regulations
required three signatures on this cheque.
Inderjit Johal is not known to the current KSA council members. I was unable to
learn anything about Inderjit Johal from the Prior Council. Danish Butt refused to
attend an interview with me. Joey Atwal never responded to my requests for an
interview; however Mr. Atwal did send me email correspondence on April 23,
2007, a copy of the email correspondence is attached as Appendix U. In ernail
corrrespondence with Danish Butt and Joey Atwal, I was not provided witll an
explanation for the loan to Inderjit Johal.
(29)
6.3 Rogers Wireless
November 2006 to March 2007
During the period November 2006 to March 2007, the KSA's account with Rogers Wireless
was charged $6,015.66 (see Schedule 4 for details), with.out the knowledge of the current KSA
Council, as follows:
Cell Phone User Name

Amount
$ 441
$2,646
$ 267
$ 874
$1,461
$ 183
$ 143
$6,015
There is a current outstanding bill as of March 2007 of $6,526.48 with Rog,ers Wireless. I
note that Danish, Joey and Jaivin are former Directors of the KSA who left office on October
31, 2006. I understand that no cell phones were retumetl to the current KSi\. Council members
by former KSA Council members or former employees.
The Rogers Wireless account was in the name Kwantlerl College (Yasser Ahmad) and Vasser
Ahnlad was the person who authorized all of the cell phones, usage and billing for this
account, according to Rogers Wireless. According to Rogers W"ireless, the KS.A's account
was set up for online billing, meaning that there were no paper bills sent to the KSA office. I
did not locate any Rogers Wireless invoices at the KSA main office, other than the first page
of the Rogers Wireless invoice addressed to Gurpreet C:heema and orle invoice addressed to
Kwantlen College (Yasser Ahmad).
I spoke with Kulvir Gill, fonner Richmond Director, who informed me that Aaron Takhar
offered him a cell phone paid for by the KSA in exchange for extra hours worked by :Mr. Gill.
I note that the employment contract for Yasser Ahmad provides for the use of a cell phone, at
no charge to Mr. Ahmad. Therefore, it appears that the Prior COUI1Cil used cell phones as a
fonn of remuneration for staff and Directors.
February to October 2006
During the period February to October 2006 the KSA paid $11,255 to Rogers Wireless for cell
phone services (see Schedule 3). These payments can be broken down as follows:
(30)
Rogers Wireless account in the name of Gurpreet Cheema
$ 1,053 l
Rogers Wireless account in the name of Kwantlen College (Yasser Ahmad)
$10,202J
Total Roger Wireless Payments by the KSA $11,255
The average monthly cellular phone bill was over $1,100. This seems high. because the KSA
also maintains regular telephone lines to be used for business purposes.
Section I, Article 5 of the KSA Regulations states:
"The mission statement ofthe Kwantlen Student Association (KSA) is
to support its members during their time ofstudy by ensuring adequate
provision for their welfare, activities, political and social needs"
It seems unlikely that the business of the KSA would require monthly cellular bills of over
$1,100.
I did not locate any nlinutes approving the payment of the cell phone bills for Gurpreet
Cheema or the KSA.
I did locate the following enlail corresponden.ce phone bills:
a. Email correspondence from the email address.aaron.takhar@kusa.ca. identified as
Aaron Takhar to email addresses identified as KSA staff and Directors on April 28,
2006 (see Appendix F):
" ...joey - just WORK... and stay offthe phone (you know what I
mean) calls to the middle east are too expensive for us ... "
b. Email correspondence from the email address.aaron.takhar@l<usa.ca. identified as
Aaron Takhar to the email address.yasser.ahmad@kusa.ca. identified as Vasser
Ahmad on August 6, 2006 (see Apperldix (r):
"yasser, ... there was a 1300 online bill jJayment, I'm assuming
is the rogers [sic] bill, however, could you show me the bill, we need
to start enforcing anything over $75 otherwise people (ion 't respect
it. "
(31)
6.4 Bilal Cheema
The KSA paid Bilal Cheema $5,000 on August 10, 2006. The cheque was signed by "both
Danish Butt and Yasser Ahmad. I could not locate any supporting docurne:ntation. for this
amount at the KSA main office.
Bilal Cheema attended an interview with me and Bob Sandy on March 6, 2007 to discuss the
work he performed for the KSA. Mr Cheema made the following comments:
Bilal Cheema was approached by Danish Butt in February 2006 to provide assistance
with communications issues and image consulting regardin.g (a) a special general
meeting in the Fall 2005 (b) perceptions of irregularities around student elections (c)
expenditures (d) cafe closure due to renovations;
Mr. Cheema's work period covered March to Allgust 2006;
Mr. Cheema destroyed his notes from the meetirlgs but he provided me with (i) a copy
of a contract between the KSA and Bilal Cheema, signed by Bilal C ~ h e e m a , Danish
Butt and Jaivin Khatri, (ii) Mr. Cheema's inlvoice to the KSA and (iii) a log of meeting
dates. I did not locate a copy of the contract, in,roice or log of meeting dates that Mr.
Cheema provided to me, at the KSA's main office;
Mr. Cheema would meet with Danish Butt and on occasion Jaivin Khatri but l1e never
met with other KSA Directors or staff or knew whether there was Board approval for
his work;
The meetings between Mr. Cheema and Danish Butt woulel be held at the Starbucks in
Surrey; Mr. Cheema never attended at the KSA office;
Mr. Cheema never provided a specific work product such as a repoli, letter or press
release. Mr. Cheema provided verbal advice in Ineetings with Danish Butt and
sometimes Jaivin Khatri;
Mr. Cheema charged the KSA sixty-seven (67) 110urs at $75/hour which totals $5,025
but the invoice was rounded to $5,000;
Mr. Cheema was contacted more than once by Danish Butt for assistance with the
October 2006 student campaign but Mr. Cheema refused;
(32)
Mr. Cheema vaguely recalled the email from Danish Butt I) and
acknowledged providing Jacques Leger's name as a possible Officer
("CRO") candidate; and
Mr. Cheema has never had any with Aaron Takhar, [,ut knows of him.
I found the following deleted email corresponldence, suggesting that the Prior Council
attempted to secure Jacques Leger as the CRC) for the KSA election ()ctober 17 to 19, 2006
al1d attempted to organize and provide indivicluals to campaign in election:
a. An email from Don Crane of Rush Crane Guenther to Marika Giles of Hungerford
Tomyn Lawrenson and Nichols, datedl August 31, 2006 discussing Messrs Schiffner
and Bouwman as possible candidates for CRO with a preferetlce for Mr. Bouwn1an

f. Email correspondence from Aaron Ta]khar (a deleted documellt found by Rob Wilson
on the hard drive of Aaron Takhar). l'he email discusses Leger as the
preferred candidate ifhe can provide the senrice significantly cheaper due to the poor
financial position of the KSA. This elnail appears to be in response to an email from
Don Crane to Aaron Takhar on Septernber 6,2006 (see Appendix J);
g. Facsimile from Don Crane to Aaron T'akhar, dated September 15, 2006 including an
email from Don Crane addressed to Aaron Takhar discussing the eRO appointment of
Mr. Schiffner instead of Mr. Leger, including a concern by Mr. Crane that Mr. Leger
had to be prodded into submitting an application (see Appendix K); and
h. An email from the email address.aaron.takhar@kusa.ca. iderltified as Aaron Takhar to
the email identified as Danish B"utt, dated September 17,
2006 with no subject line (see Appendlix L):
"we gave hilal $5,000 so what the [expletive] is he going to dofor us?
Lets [sic] sit down with him closer to the election, but ma!,e sure you

power come election time, and that he shoul(} have at least 4-6 people
campaigning as students (even ifthey don't go to school) lduring the
three polling days!! Make this point very clear!! and THEN we );i;'ill
make his Hcontract" for the 5,000 and what services he performed!!
tell him to clear schedules ofhis people for those says [sic] in
particular! give him notice!! DELl!:TE TiflS EMAlL< and delete it

Bob Sandy and I showed the above email con*espondence (Appendix L) to Bilal
Cheema. Mr. Cheema stated that he had neve:r had any dealings with
Takhar and that this email wassentalmostarnonthafterhiscontractenlded.Mr.
Cheema stated that he had a contract with the KSA and did not perfolID any worJk
for the KSA past that date or during the Octor)er electiorls.
I spoke with Jacques Leger who stated that:
Mr. Leger was approached by Bilal Cheema regarding the KSA October
election;
(34)
Mr. Leger was contacted by another i]tldividual (Mr. Leger could not
remen1ber the person's name) who as]k.ed Mr. Leger ifhe WOllld be
willing to have his name submitted for the election;
Mr. Leger stated that no one suggested that he ]Jllatch another bid and "get
paid under the table". Mr. Leger that he 'ould never clo anything
like that;
Mr. Leger spoke with the lawyer, he could not remember the lawyer's
name, regarding the election in about August or September; and
Mr. Leger recalled that he was very busy at the time of the KSA electiol1
therefore he submitted his resume an(l an "outrageous bid" price to the
lawyer. Mr. Leger never heard back from the lawyer. Mr. L,eger does not
have a copy of the email with the amount of the bid submitted.
In his email correspondencetome(seeAppelldixR).Mr. Takhar stated that he did not recall
the above emails.
6.5 Dolo Investigations
The KSA paid $1,776 to Dolo Investigations on October 26,2006. 1"1he cheque was signed by
Yasser Ahn1ad. The invoice is addressed to )\'aron Takllar without allY' reference to the KSA.
The invoice indicates that surveillance work 'Nas perfonned on Octol)er 19, 2006. The KSA
election occurred on October 17 to 19,2006.
Desmond Rodenbour contacted Dolo to obtain a copy of the report but was
refused.
I understand that pursuant to the Court Order dated August 21, 2006, the Irlterim Council
cannot approve or disburse any funds nor enter into contracts out of the ordinary course of
business. The payment of an invoice for surveillance w'ork addresse,i to Aaron Takhar does
not seem to be in the ordinary course of KSA business.
In his email correspondencetome(seeAppen.dixR).Mr. Takhar indicated that the services
were for the KSA but he did not provide any ,details as to how these services relate to the KSA
mandate.

6.6 Afterparty
On November 1, 2006 when I entered KSA office 0'1244 (located in the KSA's main office) I
found copies of cheque stubs tacked to a board. T h ( ~ s e cheques, paid Ollt of the KSA bank
account, are as follows:

I found a contract between the KSA and Harjit and Daljit Sandhu in the amount of $20,050 for
an event held on April 29, 2006 called the "After Party". The contract was signed by Danish
Butt and Joey Atwal on behalf of the KSA. 1'he contract states "Whereas the KSA was
promoted to its membership at Kwantlen University College promoted [sic] a youth event,
partly organized b)J the KSA, at other youth locations around the low'er mainland". There is
no other description of the event or what exactly the event was supposed to prornote.
The contract also states "Whereas all receipts must be provided to the KSA on or before May
15, 2006, by Daljit Sandhu for any and all eXj7enSeS directly or indirectly related to the After
Party". I did not locate any receipts for the Alfier Party at the office of the KSA..
I found one reference to the "After Party" in the May 22, 2006 Eee lneeting minutes as
follows:
"VP Events Report
After party with B21 on An organized water balloonfig'htl and set up
few pools and sprinklers for a better sumrner environment"
I did not locate any reference to Board of approval for this e'vent ill the minutes of the
meetings of the Board of Directors of the KS1\. I did locate the following email exchange
related to the "After Party" dated May 22, 2006 with the subject "Re: afterparty and health"
(see Appendix W). From email address.aaro:n.takhar@kusa.ca. identified as Aaron Takhar to
email address 'president@kusa.ca' identified as Danish Butt and email address
'vpintemal@kusa.ca' identified as Jaivin Khatri:
(1) Any money from the afterparty' guys? I've already reminded you
danish, [sic] and your [sic] ottawa [sic] on tues so it
doesn't look like anything is going to happen before then, where have
you guys been over the past few weeks? almost [sic] 20K to these
guys?I?!"
Reply from email address 'president@kusa.ca' identified as Danish Butt to email
address 'aaron.takhar@kusa.ca' identified as l\aron Takhar dated May 22, 2006
(see Appendix W):
HI 'II get on the formal guys, he's su,pposed to come see me Afonliay, I
called him afew times he picked UJ7 once by accident because i [sic]
blocked the number 101 worst case scenario i 'II [sic] go to his house
we have some mutual friends from teh [sic] community, i 'II [sic] get
the money. "
(37)
I found a deposit into the KSA bank account on No,rem"ber 17, 2007 for $3,000
from D. Sandhu. It's possible that this is a re:payment of a portion of the $20,050
paid by the KSA for this "After Party" event.
I spoke with Kulvir Gill, former Richmond WIlO stated the following:
that he attended the "After Party" event at a club in Vancouver. Mr
Gill could not recall the name of the club;
that the event was promoted on campus and was attended by other
KSA board members as well;
that the KSA wanted publicity because of bad press;
that he recalled on.e meeting where the group organizing the "After
Party" made a presentation to the KSA board of directors. Mr. Gill
could not recall the name of the group organizing the "After Party";
and
that the event was approved by Aaron r[akhar and Danish Butt.
I also spoke with Bikram Gill, former Vice President Events, who stated the
following:
that he never organized or attended the: "After Party" event, even though
Mr. Gill was the Vice President Events for the KSA;
that he was involved in the organizatio:n of the "Moonshine Dance", an
event planned for Spring 2006, that was cancelled because of an issue with
the liquor licence;
that he thought the "After Party" event was a conlbined event that was co
hosted with another orgal1ization, Douglas College; and
that any KSA event has to be approved before the event can happen so the
"After Party" must have been approved.
(38)
The "After Party" cost of $20,050 seems higbl for a KSA event becau.se:
Bikram G-ill stated that he had a budget of $1 0,000 for events for all
the KSA campuses for the year; and
I reviewed a document containin.g a of $20,170 for the
Welcome Week events in the Fall of 2006. The Weicollle Week
events included activities at campuses, Surrey, RichmoIld and
Langley.
I was not able to contact Rarjit Sandhu and Daljit Sandh.u as I had no contact in.formation for
them. As I've indicated before, Prior Council members Danish Butt refused an interview with
me and latinder Atwal never replied to my re(luests for an interview. 'rherefore I did not have
any additional infonnation from them concerrling the pu.rpose of the "After Party".
Danish Butt, Jatinder Atwal and Jaivin Khatri appear to 'be the KSA Directors w'ho approved
the "After Party" expenses since they signed the cheques and/or contract related to the "After
Party".
Transactions With Former And Former Council :Melnbers Of
The KSA And Related Companies:
The KSA was involved in the following transactions with former employees and former
Council members of the KSA and related conlpanies, wllich up to this point in llly
investigation I found notable:
$67,794 in estimated unsupported paYlnents to A.aron Takhar an.d AST vrentures
(Section 6.7)
$897 overpayment to New Concept Renovators (Section 6.8)
$16,676 in estimated unsupported payrnents to Mohammad Hussain (Section 6.8)
$17,252 in estimated unsupported payrnents to Vasser Ahmad (Section 6.9)
$21,087 in estimated unsupported payrnents to Danish Butt (Section 6.10)
$10,997 in estimated unsupported payrnents to Jaivin Khatri (Sectioll 6.11)
$9,017 in estimated unsupported paymtents to Jatinder Atwal (Sectio:n 6.12)
(39)
6.7 Aaron Takhar and AST Ventures
KSA made estimated unsupported payments of$67,794 for the services of Aaron Takhar as
Executive Advisor. My analysis is set out as follows:
Paid to Aaron Takhar:
Cheques out of the KSA operating account in September 2006 (Sch.edule 1) $ 10,000
Paid to AST Ventures:
Cheques out of the KSA operating account (Schedule 1) $103,436
Total payments by the KSA for the services of ..Aaron Takhar $113,436
Amount Due for the Services of Aaron Takhar:
Salary as Director of Finance for January 2006 $ 1,993
Estimated Salary as Executive Advisor February to October 2006 $ 43,650
$ 45,643
Estimated Unsupported Payments by the KS)\. $ 67,794
Aaron Takhar was the former Director of Finance of the KSA from approximately May 2005
to January 2006 and became the Executive Aldvisor of tIle KSA from approximately February
2006 to November 1, 2006. Desmond Rodenbour, (Jeneral Manager of the KSJ\.,
subsequently terminated Mr. Takhar's emplo:yment witll the KSA. AST Ventures Inc. is a
consulting company that invoiced the KSA for the services of Aaron Takhar (discussed further
below).
Aaron Takhar
Schedule 1 identifies the KSA payments to Aaron Takhar and AST VeJntures from January to
November 2006.
There were two payments of $5,000 each pai(l to Aaron Takhar in September 2006. The
r
$5,000 cheques to Mr. Takhar were signed by Jatinder Atwal and Yasser Ahmad, respectively.
The employment contract, dated August 1, 2006, between the KSA a:nd Aaron 1"'akhar states
that Mr. Takhar is to be paid $4,850 per month. It's unc:,ertain why N[r. Takhar received these
two $5,000 payments; however we did locate the following email on tIle hard drive of Aaron
Takhar addressed to "Yasser", not dated (see .Appendix M):
"yasser, a couple ofthings: ... also, please cut me a chq [sic] for
$5,000for the month ofaugust ... n1Y name should be on i t ~ thats [sic]
(40)
it. I'm at $5,OOO/monthjust like you now... L:)ELETE THI.. 'i EAMIL
[sic}, and then empty your trash!!"
In email correspondence with me, Mr. Takhar states that the $150 difference between each of
the $5,000 cheques paid to him by the KSA aJt1d his morlthly gross salary of $4,850 are regular
expenses incurred during the course of emplo:yment. Mr. Takhar did not provide any detail or
supporting documentation for these amounts. I did flot find any expense reports for Mr.
Takhar for these amounts.
I reviewed the employment contract between Aaron Takhar and the KSA, dated August 1,
2006. Based on the contract Aaron Takhar would be entitled to an amlual salary of $58,200
Mr. Takhar did not have a written employmerlt contract for the periocl to July 2006.
Therefore, to detemline the estimated amount due to Aaron Takhar for the Febru.ary to July
2006 period I assume that Mr, Takhar would l)e entitled to the same level of compensation as
in the contract dated August 1, 2006 The amount dlle to Aaron Takhar for the nine months is
$43,650.
The employment contract stipulates that no payroll d.eductions be withheld yet refers to Mr.
Takhar as an 'employee'. This is in contraveIltion Employment Insurance Act, Income
Tax Act and the Canada Pension Plan. The KSA may be liable for payroll deductions on the
wages of Aaron Takhar as well as any assessed penalties and interest on unremitted payroll
taxes.
Mr. Takhar did not provide any comment on the lack of :payroll taxes withheld on the
amounts paid to him by the KSA. I understan,d from Rolando Navarro that Mr. has not
offered to repay the witholding taxes to the KSA.
AST Ventures
The KSA paid AST Ventures $103,436 from to August 2006 (see Schedule 1).
It appears that these payments by the KSA to i\ST Ventllres relate to the services of Aaron
Takhar as Executive Advisor. Based on the following I believe that Aaron Takhar has an
interest in and/or controls AST Ventures:
a. Aaron Takhar's full name is Aaronjeet Singh Takhar. Mr. Takhar's initials AST are
the same as the company name AST Ventures;
b. Mr. Takhar removed a box of stationary with the AST letterhead from his
desk in the KSA offices on November 1, 2006;
(41)
c. Rob Wilson ofPwC found various "AST Ventures Ltd." logos on the computer hard
drive of Aaron Takhar;
d. Aaron Takhar resigned as a Director of AST Ventures on August 1, 2006. Aaron
Takhar's employment contract with trle KSA is dated August 1, 2006. It seems that
Aaron Takhar intended to sever his with AST Ventures the sam.e day he signed an
employment agreement with the KSA; and
e. I spoke with Jaideep Pannu, who is listed as the Director of AST Ventures, on January
17, 2007. Mr. Pannu confirmed tllat the AST Ventures' invoices to the KSA were for
the services of Aaron Takhar. I attempted to ask Mr. Pannu further questions; however
he ended the phone call after agreeing to contact me again. I never received any phone
calls from Mr. Pannu.
In addition to the above facts, we found ttle following emails indicating that AarOIl Takhar
controls AST Ventures:
1. Email exchange between the email iderltified as Aaron
Takhar and Joseph Tupaz of Creative Insignia, dated April 7, 2006 with the heading
"AST Logo Design" (see Appendix N):
"Joseph,
I like one ofthe logos, please give me a call (lnd we can talk about a
design to go on a letterhead and business cards. Thanks, aaron 604
537-1503 "
2. Email exchange between the email ad<lress.aaron.takhar@kusa.ca. identified as Aaron
Takhar and the email address.treasurer@kusa.ca. identified as Jatinder Atwal (see
Appendix 0):
" ... also, i matched up the 2006 source docun'lents with the vendors
sheet, things arent [sic] looking good... from AST ventures alone, vve
have approximately $32000.00 untlccounted.)for... "
3. Email exchange between the email adclress.aaroll.takhar@kusa.ca.
identified as Aaron Takhar and Joseph Tupaz of Creative Insignia dated
May 8, 2006 (see Appendix P):
"Joseph,
I have not yet received the logo for HEALTH
CONNECTIONS INC. Please fOlyvards [sic] asap. Also, I did not
(42)
receive the AST VENTURES logo to put on lny letterhead. You had
indicated that you would send a one [siclin proper format that I cO'uld
use in WORD or EXCEL etc...
thanks,
Takhar
Executive Advisor
Kwantlen University Student Association"
4. Email exchange between the en1ail address
'yasser.ahmad@kusa.ca' identified as Yasser Alunad and the email
address 'aaron.takhar@kusa.ca' identified as Aaron Takhar dated
August 5, 2006 (see Appendix Q):
"yasser ... ASTchqs are neededfor July, three ofthem (less GST this
time) that's the only difference also, please let me know what sources
are needed and I will start getting them. re-print the appropriate
stubs ... "
In email correspondencewithme.Mr. Takhar disagreed with my assessment th.at he has an
interest in and/or controls AST Ventures. Appe:ndix R for Mr. Takhar's email
correspondence with me.
Supporting Documents
I could not locate any supporting documentation for the payments to AST Ventures.
All but three of the cheques to AST Ventures were signed by both Danish and latinder
Atwal or Yasser Ahmad. Three of the datecl Al1gust 3, 2006, each for $4,240, were
only signed by Yasser Ahmad. This contravenes the KSA Regulations, which required three
signatures on all cheques above $3,000.
Section VIII, Article 1.7 of the KSA Regulations states:
"Cheques and other ofjicialfinancial instruments dealing Yi'ith
expenditures shall be signed by !li'o (2) si,gning ofjicers, once the
appropriate level ofauthority has tlpproved the expenditure.
However, ifthe cheque or other ofjicialfinancial instrument
represents an expenditure ofthree thousand liollars ($3000.00) or
more, it shall require the signatures ofthree (3) signing ofjicers. "
(43)
III email correspondence with me, Mr. Takhar states that this was a mistake on the
part of the KSA.
6.8 New Concept Renovators and Mohammad "Elijah" Hussain.
The KSA overpaid New Concept Renovators $897 and made $16,676 in estimated
unsupported payments to Mohammad Hussain, Corrunercial Services Manager for the KSA.
New Concept Renovators
The KSA paid New Concept Renovators ("New COllcept") $11,879 in September 2006 (see
Schedule 2) for the following:
Tinting the KSA cafe windows ($3,841);
Counter tops for the cafe ($3,022);
Re-upholstering the bar stools in the cafe ($1,043);
Purchase/installation of new blinds in the cafe ($2,035); and
Installation of a new screen television al1d projector in the cafe ($1,938).
David Borins provided me with the affidavit of Desmond Rodenbour dated January 23, 2007.
From Mr. Rodenbour's affidavit, I understand that a different company called Newindow
Films Ltd. ("Newindow") actually performed the tinting of the KSA cafe windows. I further
uIlderstand that Newindows has invoiced New Concept for $2,944 but has flot been paid;
however, I found New Concept invoiced the $3,841 for the same work. The KSA was
overcharged by $897.
Tinting charged on New Concept Rerlovators invoice $3,841
Tinting charged on Newindow Films Ltd statemlent i.2,944
Overpayment by the KSA i 897
Mohammad Hussain is listed as a partner in New COllCel)t Renovators on a Statem.ent of
Registration of General Partnership or Sole Proprietorship document filed 13, 2006 with
the Registrar of Companies.
Tile overpayment by the KSA for window tinting calls into question the legitimacy of the
other amounts charged on the New Concept in'voices, in particular the installation charges. I
was unable to determine who perfonned the work identified on the New COIlcept invoices and
(44)
whether the work had been completed since there was no documentation, other th.an the New
Concept invoice.
I attempted to contact Mohammad Hussain for an interview. I was able to contact Mr.
Hussain's father but I never heard directly from Mohammad Hussain. Mr. Hussain's name
was included on a group en1ail sent to me by .Aaron Takhar (see Appendix. T).
Mohammad Hussain
I understand that Mohammad Hussain is also known as Elijah.
The KSA has made estimated unsupported payments of$16,676 to Mohammad Hussain
during the period September to November 2006, calculated as follows:
Payments to Mohammad Hussain (see Schedule 2) $25,649
Estimated amount due to Mohammad Hussaill (see l)elow) $ 8,973
Estimated Unsupported Payments to Mohanunad Hllssain $16,676
Mohan1mad Hussain was the Commercial Services Manager from approximately September 1,
2006 to October 31, 2006, when he was put on paid leave.
I understand from Desmond Rodenbour, actirLg in his Cllrrent position as General Manager,
that during an interview with Mohammad Hussain, Mr. Hussain advised that he did not sign
an employment contract with the KSA. In oreier to the amount due to Mohammad
Hussain for his services to the KSA from September 1 to October 31, 2006, I considered the
employment contract for Desmond Rodenboulr, when he was working as the commercial
services manager in 2003.
I estimated the amount due to Mohammad HILssain as $8,973. I calculated this amount using
the base salary of$46,509 in Desmond Roderlbour's 2003 KSA employment contract,
increased by 5% per year and prorated for the 2 months September 1 to October 31, 2006.
I could not locate any expense reports for Mo]hammad I-Iussain or Elijah. The above
calculation includes all the payments to Mohammad Hussain from Janllary 1 to October 31,
2006 (see Schedule 2). It is likely that some paymerlts may be expense reimbursen1ents but
there was no supporting documents, such as e:xpense reports with the origin.al receipts
attached, to identify these payments.
I also note on Schedule 2 that Mohammad Hussain was paid $8,498 (includ.ed in the total paid
of $25,649 above) on October 31, 2006. This is the last day that the Prior C:ouncil had control
over the KSA's finances.
(45)
On Schedule 2 I also include a cheque addressed to .AkifHussain for $7,588 dated August 10,
2006; the back of the cheque has the name "lv1uham:ma<1 AkifHussain" typed 011 it. I wanted
to question Mr. Hussain about this cheque, w:hen I spoke with Mr. H1JSsain's father (in my
attempts to reach Mr. Hu.ssain) he would not answer myr questions. It's seems possible that
Mohammed Hussain may have received funds, although for of the estimated
unsupported payment amount of$16,676 this cheque was excluded.
6.9 Yasser Ahmad
The KSA made estimated unsupported of $17,252 to Ahmad, calculated as
follows:
Paid to Yasser Ahmad (see below) $68,486
Estimated Salary as Chief Operations Officer (January to October 2006) $51,234
Estimated Unsupported Payments to Yasser Plhmad $17,252
Yasser Ahmad worked for the KSA in January 2006, as the Chief Operations
Officer.
The KSA paid Yasser Ahmad $68,486 from January to ()ctober 31, 2006 as follows:
Cheques addressed to Yasser Ahmad (per Sclledule 5) $33,326
Payroll payments through Ceridian (gross to ()ctober 27, 2006) $35,160
Total Paid to Yasser Ahmad $68,486
I reviewed the employment contract between 'Yasser Ah111ad and the ](.SA, dated August 1,
2006. Based on the employment contract, Mr. Ahmad was entitled tOI an annual salary of
$61,480. There was no employn1ent contract for the period January to July 2006, therefore I
assumed that Mr. Ahmad's compensation for that period was at the same level as set out in his
August 1, 2006 contract. The amount due to Ahmacl under the corltract for 10 months
service (January to October 31,2006) is $51,234.
I could not locate any expense reports for Yasser Ahtnad. The above calculation includes all
payments to Mr. Ahmad from January 1 to October 31, 2006 (see Schedule 5). It is likely that
some payments may be expense reimbursemeIlts but there was no supporting documents, such
as expense reports with the original receipts attached, to identify payments.
I attempted to contact Yasser Ahmad for an interview. Mr Ahmad refused an interview with
me but did provide comments on the January 25,2007 interim reportillg letter ofPwC (see
Appendix S). In his comments, Mr. Ahmad stated the following: "Expense Reports: at the
time ofany Financial [sic] Transactions [sic]lroper [sic] Record [sic] keeping was
(46)
maintaineli. Member ofthe current ksa[sic] may very well have deliberately misplaced,
or Destroyed [sic} the Documents [sic] in Questions [sic}.. " Mr. Ahmad states
that the proper records were maintained by the KSA, however, as discllssed in Section 4
above, I could 110t locate many of the standard accounting documents..
6.10 Danish Ilutt
The KSA tnade estimated unsupported payments of$20,893 to Danish. Butt from January 1 to
October 31, 2006, calculated as follows:
Paid to Da:nish by the KSA:
Cheques out of the KSA Operating Account 6) $11,092
Payroll payments through Ceridian (gross wages) $31,510
$42,602
Alnount to Danish Btltt:
Estimatecl Salary as Executive Ad.visor (January 1 to 2) $ 1,946
Estimated Salary as President (February 3 to October 31) $18,329
Expense Reimbursement
LlA34
$21,709
Estimated Unsupported Payments to Danish Butt
mB21
Danish Butt was elected President of the KSA and took office on February 3, 2006. Prior to
that I understand that Mr. Butt was employed as the Advisor of the KSA..
The KSA Regulations provide the Board witll bi-weeklyrenlurleration of$412.
The Board of Directors passed a resolution on June 6, 2005 increasing the Executive Board
members to $750 bi-,;veekly and $850 bi-\veekly for the IThe
current COllncil located amended regulations of the KSA Regulations dated Janua!)' 6, 2006
providing bi-weekly remuneration to the Executive Board of$953.
In the calculation above I the amount due to Danish Butt as follows:
I understand that Danish Butt took office as President on February 3, 2006; I calculated
Mr. Butt's salary as Preside]lt from Febnlary 3 to October 31, 2006 at $953 biweekly,;
I understand that Danish Butt was employed by the KSA as the Executive Advisor
fronl January I to February 2,2006. Based on the payroll records with Ceridian
(pa)rroll service to the KSA), Mr. Butt was paid $720 biweekly to January 20, 2006
and $923 biweekly from Jan.uary 21 to March 31, 2006. I calclliated Mr. Butt's salary'
as Executive Advisor from January 1 to Februar)T 2, 2006 using the bi-weekly salary in
the C:eridian records; and
(47)
I located one expense report for Danish Butt in the amount of $1,434.16 with a date of
August 16, 2006. The expense report did not have any evidence of signed approval
and also included an amount of $1 ,000 dated August 16, 2006 described as "Float for
CFS provincial meeting". There were no receipts attached. The cheque paid to Danish
Butt for this expense report was dated August 10, 2006 (before the date on the expense
report), so it appears the expense report was completed after Mr. Butt was already paid
for these expenses.
I reviewed the cheques paid to Danish Butt by the KSA (see Schedule 6) and found 5 cheques
that were addressed to Danish Butt and signed only by Danish Butt. This is a serious internal
control issue. The payee and signatory on a KSA cheque should not be the same person; at a
minimum there should be two signatures on the cheque when one of the signatories is the
payee. KSA cheques with only one signature are in contravention of the KSA Regulations
that require two or more signatures on all cheques.
It is likely that some payrnents on Schedule 6 may be expense reimbursements but there are no
supporting documents, such as expense reports witll the original receipts attached, to identify
these payments.
I attempted to contact Danish Butt for an interview. Mr. Butt refused an interview with me
but was included in a "Group Response" sent to me by email correspondence from Aaron
Takhar (see Appendix T). Since Mr. Butt refused an interview, I asked him to submit
comments on the January 25, 2007 interim reporting letter ofPwC; but I did not receive an.y
comments from Mr. Butt (see Appendix V).
6.11 Jaivin Khatri
The KSA made estimated unsupported payments of $1 0,997 to Jaivin Khatri from January 1 to
October 31, 2 0 0 6 ~ calculated as follows:
Paid to Jaivin Khatri by the KSA:
Cheques out of the KSA Operating Account (Schedule 7)
Payroll payments from Ceridian (gross wages)
Amount Due to Jaivin Khatri:
Estimated Salary Vice President Internal Affairs (January 1 to October 31)
$10,038
$21,509
$31,547
Estimated Unsupported Payments to Jaivin Khatri $10,997
Jaivin Khatri was re-elected as Vice President of Internal Affairs of the KSA on February 3,
2006.
In the calculation above I determined the amount due to Jaivin Khatri as follows:
(48)
I used a bi-weekly pay of $750 from January 1 to 6 and a bi-weekly pay of $953 from
January 7 to October 31. As discussed in 6.10 above, an amendment to the regulations
of the KSA dated January 6 ~ 2006 provided bi-weekly remuneration of $953 to
members of the Executive Board.
I reviewed the cheques paid to Jaivin Khatri by the KSA (see Schedule 7) and found 4 cheques
that were addressed to Jaivin Khatri and signed only by Jaivin Khatri. As discussed above,
this is a serious internal control issue and a contravention of the KSA Regulations.
It is likely that some payments on Schedule 7 may be expense reimbursements, but there are
no supporting documents, such as expense reports with the original receipts attached, to
identify these payments.
I attempted to contact Jaivin Khatri for an interview. Mr. Khatri never responded to my
requests for an interview but was included in a "Group Response" sent to me by email
correspondence from Aaron Takhar (see Appendix T).
6.12 Jatinder Atwal
The KSA made estimated unsupported payments of$9,017 to Jatinder Atwal from January 1
to October 31, 2006, calclliated as follows:
Paid to Jatinder Atwal by the KSA:
Cheques out of the KSA Operating Account (Schedule 8) $13,313
Payroll payments from Ceridian (gross wages) $16,254
$29,567
Amount Due to Jatinder Atwal:
Vice President Internal Affairs January 1 to October 31, 2006 $20,550
Estimated Unsupported Payments to Jatinder Atwal $ 9,017
Jatinder "Joey" Atwal was re-elected as Treasurer of the KSA on February 3, 2006.
In the calculation above I determined the amount due to latinder Atwal as follow'S:
I used a bi-weekly pay of $750 from January 1 to 6 and a bi-weekly pay of$953 from
January 7 to October 31. As discussed in 6.10 above, an amendment to the regulations
of the KSA dated January 6,2006 provided bi-weekly remuneration of$953 to
members of the Executive Board.
I reviewed the cheques paid to latinder Atwal by the KSA (see Schedule 8) and found 3
cheques that were addressed to Jatinder Atwal and signed only by latinder Atwal. As
(49)
discussed above, this is a serious internal control issue and a contravention of the KSA
Regulations.
It is likely that some payments on Schedule 8 may be e:xpense reimbursements, but there was
no supporting documents., such as expense reports with the original receipts attached, to
identify these payments.
I attempted to contact Jatinder Atwal for an interview. 1Mr. Atwal never responded to my
requests for an interview. Mr Atwal was included in a 'l;Group Response" sent to me by email
correspondence from Aaron Takhar (see Appendix T) alt1d also provided a comment agreeing
with the comn1ents from Aaron Takhar and Vasser Ahmlad (see Appendix U).

Software Used: Encase v5.05f
Acquisition of computers
Andy Joyce, a former manager with PricewaterhouseCoopers ("PwC") acquired 18

("KSA"). The acquisitions were collected through a combination of on-site imaging at
the KSA main office (located at 12666 72
nd

image of the original hard drive and includes all active and deleted information. A write
blocker, which prevents the alteration of the original data, was llsed in all instances.

Computer Forensic Analysis Results
Any files identified, based on the keyword searches, were exported from the bit stream
inlages and provided to Mary Ann Hamilton of PwC and David Borins of Farris,
Vaughan, Willis & Murphy LLP.
Email Correspondence
Based on the file header information contained in the deleted arid/or recovered email
messages, the messages originated from the associated enlail account. Thus if the email
message is shown to have come from aaron.takhar@kusa.ca, this was the account that
sent the message. We state this because the email server that is responsible for sending
out the mail messages uses Merak mail server software. rrhis is the sanle email server
that was in use by the Kwantlan Ul1iversity Student AssoeiatiorL Our review did not
show any other email server as being present.

deep, danish sai'd hes already spoken to you about the email from the kusa.ca domain
to gallivan's anonomous feedback service about the leak of the referendum question.
what is the status of your search into this leak of information? did it indeed come
from our email system? let me know, thanks
Also, this ;s a reminder to all ()f you that Gallivan's lawyer has asked us to "turn
over" any emails/memos on THIS system to them so that they can know whether or not
the referendum WAS INDEED pre-planned ... make sure to delete ANY AND ALL gall;van
material from your INBOX, DRAFT and SENT folders (including this email and any
replys to it in your SENT folder)
we cannot continue to underestimate gallivan, lets show them some respect and nail

danish, we have to come up with a better system of disbursing this fund money. there
;s obviously already a system in place, however, lets review the current methods and

lot of cheques going out and no proper record keeping don't delete this e-mail ...
let me know when you got time and we can go over it .

Everyone
Your efficiency ranking is slipping (not like it was ever decent anyway). what I am
trying to say is simple: everyone want to be the head honcho. or do the so-called
"important" work ... well, I got a news flash, If you think you are capable of doing
the "important" work, then why can't you get your "simple" work done PROPERLY and ON
TIME?
Everyt;me someone ;s asked "have you got it done xet?" , it just reinstates the fact
that you are not competant enough to do EVEN the 'simple" work that ;s given to you.
r hope my sarcasm is working (or will eventually work) because nothing to date has
worked, let me show you what has been done to date for you that HAS NOT WORKED:
1) increased pay from $412 per paycheck for executives when I started last year
(what the job really is) and S260 per paycheck for directors
2) sure the hours have increased, but people are not UTILIZING the hours
EFFICIENTLY, you hang around the office more, thats all
3) taking time off whenever you need to (not a problem if the work was getting done
when you are actually IN OFFICE)
4) project based work instead of "punching the clock" like the ()ffice staff. IS that
what people want, comming in and doing the same thing every day?
5) the over lMILLIONSS at your disposal every year to DO SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE
with, something that may even better YOuRself, like the Lembher thing Bik and Kulvir
are doing (great idea, but 6 months in with the first idea to use the funds
availbale to you??) 6 months bitches!!
6) when do I get a raise? is this work really necessary? is this part of my
portfolio? did anyone else ever do this? the questions go ON and on, but the answers
are simple: NO NO NO NO
we are a VERY unique organization to say the least, we can't even compare yourselves
directly to other student unions, can we? this is why everyone should SHUT THE FUCK
UP and do their work ON TIME and PROPERLY, without having a babysitter ...
AND people need to get their priorities straight too, because its starting to effect
the workplace now, and then this happens, it aint acceptable! r'll give you some
examples:
Reople secretly 'borrowing" money. i know you say to ME well YOU dont need to
'borrow" money because you already have it ... well to that I say, "well, was I
nborrowi ng" money .J ast year when I was maki n9 LESS than you are thi s year?"
the borrowers: Ja;v;n
t
danish and joey... all in different ways,also kulvir ; might

add, but hes paid his dues (at least in dollar terms)
bikram, even thou9h he visits all the pubs in surrey during one credit card statment
period (trust me , know) he DOESNT borrow money from people, or organizations, and
definitely not "secretly" borrow it. although he has his faults too.
THE FACT IS THIS: too much whining about "hurt feel'ings" and other personal
commitments getting in the way of business:
Ja;vin, you could never do what you do here when you were at the KEG
danish, JP MORGAN, no way
Joey, your short stint at athletes world ... no more words necessary here
kulvir, never had another job
bikram, all the jobs you've had, were they this laxed?
NO NO NO
people must stop taking advantage of the workplace and start treating it with
respect .. if you don't, its either going to be your ass gone or the entire place
down the drain... not everything lasts forever, why dont you make the MOST of the
current
situation??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
I hope everyone understands my point. enough said. i hope i can stop writing these
completely stupid emails very soon!!! my efficiency ranking comes down every stupid
email that ;s written ... so if you dont care about your own effiency ranking at
least care about others?
BTW: yasser and meenu, not so bad, but dont get swept into the stupidity when you
can avoid it ...

Everyone,
I realize that MOST of you don't know what real work is. however, each of you know
EXACTLY what I've asked in past e-mails and numerous vo;cemails... so please try to
have everything done by the time I get back ... just for personal fun, let me make a
l i t ~ l e fun of people so you know what I mean:
Kulvir - some work in richmond would be nice, try not to knock out any single
mothers
andre - its not always "magic" please remember your meetings and event before ottawa
ken - please continue what your doing, its great
ajay - at least look and sound like you enjoy what you do at the ksa
jaiv;n - ; can't really say anything but remember to keep the
meenu/bikjdilshad/nav/mandy/joey party boat under control (in the office at least)
joey - just WORK... and stay off the phone (you know what r mean) calls to the
middle east are too expensive for us
bik - no alcohol on campus and keep your pants on while in the office and no
partying. CC the alki part to meenu as well
yasser - just stay in your office, beware of people in the office not doing any work
and don't let them slow you down, enjoy your trip too...
meenu - simply no bhangra parties in the front lobby
deep - make sure you know how to operate the fire extinguisher because your in the
office with bik/joey/meenu/dilshad... for work thats a dangerous mix. and
yasser/ja;vin smoking its not going to help
try to lock doors behind you (no more thefts), check your email/voicemail and just
dont do anything stupid.
Just imagine I am still sitting in my office ... then you'll do fine ... I'm sorry for
all the sarcasm but I'm really really concerned that you guys don't do anything
stupid (mainly surrey and richmond)
anyways, see you all soon. you can email me anyt;me
t
;'11 still be checking it ...

yasser,
there was a chq that went out for 15,884.10 that I saw online, could you tell me
what that was for? also, there was a 1300 online bill payment, which I'm assuming ;s
the rogers bill, however, could you show me the bill, we need to start enforcing
anything over $75 otherwise people don't respect it. .
if you have ANYTHING for Joey to do, then give it to him, we still haven't caught up
with everything, and we're in the 8th month now... and if you need help from me let
me know, I'm waiting on the sources that we need, can you get them to me soon?
everything will be fine, don't worry.

Hi Marika:
Thank you for your telephone message yesterday afternoon. I thought I
would briefly give you my thoughts on this issue.
r have no doubt that both Mr. Schiffner or Mr. Bouwman clre fully capable
of doing the job. If you wish to pursue discussions about cost with Mr.
schiffner, I would suggest that you supply him with whatever documents
he needs, and ask him for a quote, or at least an indication of the rate
he would charge.
I do want to suggest, that for a couple of reasons Mr. Bouwman
would be a good choice. Flrst, he has the Elections Be stamp of
approval. This does not make him any better at doing the job, but it
will, I think, serve the important purpose of instilling confidence in
the membership in his ability and impartiality. I note that in Gill v.
Bhandal [1998] B.C.J. NO. 2263, a case involving an internal society
dispute, the court directed that the parties select a returning officer
from a list provided by Elections Be, presumably for this reason. Mr.
Schiffner's experience is apparently almost exclusively in the field of
elections under the Indian Act.
In addition, Mr. B9uwman retired, thus should be generally
available at all tlmes durlng the electl0n process. I note that he
lives in surrey, which may cut travel time. I donlt know whether Mr.
Schiffner has a day job or other competing commitments.
I would appreciate having your thoughts. You should feel free to
contact Mr. Bouwman yourself, or if you wish we can set up a conference
call for all of us to talk to him.

what in the worlds going on with Jaque? Aaron's spoke to him on several occasions,
so has our legal counsel Don Crane, and it seems to us that he ;s iust not
interested anymore. But again I'm close to 100 per'cent sure that from a little
pressure from you, you're able to convince him. Tell him all he needs to do is beat
the other guys price and any of the differnce we'll give him under the table. Man I
can't even tell you how HUGE it would be to get him onside, it would save of tons of
time and effort. Lemme know man I realize you're busy, but brotha tell me what else
I need to do to make this happen. Hopefully talk to you soon.
