Dear Ms. Savard:
My name is Janel Mann of Battleford, Saskatchewan. I am currently a stay-at-home mother and maintain
my "Inactive" status as a lawyer with the Law Society of Saskatchewan.
I have known Robin Camp for 15 years, since the spring af 2001. Robin was my first interviewer for an
articling position with the finn of Duncan McCachen in Calgary, Alberta. I was hired by that finn after a
second interview and began my articles there in July of 2002. I was called to the Alberta Bar in 2003 and
worked another year at Duncan McCachen, as a first year associate, before moving back to Saskatchewan
in the summer of 2004. I worked in Saskatoon as an associate with the firrn of Wallace Meschishnick
Clackson Zawada from the fall of 2004 to June 2011. I was married in March of 2011 and now have two
children.
I am aware of and have read the Minister of Justice's letter in regards to the Camp J. Inquiry and the
Inquiry Committee's Notice of Allegations. I was disappointed in Robin's commenls, especially as these
statements are not in keeping with his character as I know it. To me, Robin was diligent and dedicated to
his practice. When I heard of his appointment to the Federal Court, I felt he would and still feel that he

will carry over those traits into his new role.

I feel a large part of why I was hired at Duncan McCachen was due to Robin. I remember his statement
that I was one of the only applicants that had taken courses in Native Studies. Even though Duncan

McCachen was a litigation boutique, Robin specifically commented that having an educational
background in areas such as Native Studies was important due to the multifaceted nature of the law. I had
the distinct impression he wanted to hire an articling student that had a willingness to learn about varying
viewpoints.
Myself and another female articling student were hired at the same time, and another female articling
student was hired the year after me. Duncan McCachen was not a large firm but I recall at least three
other female associate lawyers hires during my two years working there. The firrn culture was very
inclusive towards all lawyers. Robin was one of the main positive influences on the firm's work ethic and
culture. He always took the time for face-to-.face discussions during my articles and later when I was an
associate. As well, he not only embraced the social interaction within the firm but also between the firrn
members and his own family. I can recall my invite and attendance at his Citizenship Ceremony with his
family and other member from the firm. He is a person who has great respect for his work, his wife, his

family, and thosehe worksalongside.

I still send Robin and Marianne cards at holiday time and would try to catch up on his news of work and
family whenever I found myself in Calgary.

Re: Robin Camp
My name is Oliver Ho and I am a Counsel at JSSBarristers. I have known Robin for over a
decade. In fact, I remember the exact date I met Robin, it was November 22, 2004 and my first
day of employment at the law firm then known as May Jensen Shawa Solomon. Robin gave me
my first assignment and asked me to assist him on a file he was working on.
Over the course of the next few months working closely together on this file, I began to
appreciate what a great mentor Robin was to me. He gave me much advice about the practice
of law, but what he didn't know was that by virtue of his character, he was also providing me
with much guidance about being a compassionate and kind individual. That isn't to say that
Robin is not a direct and forceful advocate for his clients, but it is to specifically say that Robin's
day-to-day conduct and interaction with people is generous and chivalrous. He literally goes out
of his way to open doors, holds them open, give you the respect to stand up from his chair
when you speak to him, greets you when he passes you in the hallway, and makes you feel
welcome when you are in his presence.
Through the years, I was lucky enough to grow my relationship with Robin from not only
colleague, but also to friend. I realized this when, for 2 days, I came into the office insisting on
working notwithstanding that I was not feeling well. I was a young associate, trying to make a
positive impression on my bosses. I thought I was being tough, in fact, I was being foolish. Yet,
notwithstanding my being visibly in pain no one, other than Robin, did anything. Robin,
recognizing that perhaps I should be helped, came to my office, told me to put down my pen,
and told me to come with him so that he could drive me to the Emergency Room. I protested
because I neither wanted to lose out on my billable hours, nor did I want to put him out. Robin
insisted; my health was more important than anyone's billable hours. It was within 60 minutes
that I was diagnosed with a collapsed lung. Robin was the one person in my office who cared
enough for my personal well being to reach out and do something that I needed to be done.
