I can't remember, 157 times
In his case against Marc Lemire, Richard Warman was cross-examined on his testimony for three and a half days. He answered "I don't remember" 157 times. You can read through those three and a half days' worth of transcripts, or see a handy compilation here.
One might ask why the Tribunal put up with such obvious stonewalling -- but then, the Tribunal excuses almost any conduct from the Canadian Human Rights Commission and its friends.
One might ask how it is that CHRC investigators don't keep notes contemporaneous with their investigations, as every other bureaucrat, cop, reporter or normal citizen does in their own lives' work -- and if that failure to document their activities is actually a formal strategy to frustrate any attempt to hold them accountable.
One might ask whether such an incredible litany of forgetfulness under oath constitutes ethical conduct by a lawyer like Warman.
But the question that I'm curious about is: how would Warman, dressed up in his uniform as a DND Director of Special Grievances, react to a soldier who would dare to look Warman in the eye, and conveniently "forget" the answer to everything he was asked?
