Well the issue came about because lawyers (who are implicitly trusted in the legal system) lied openly about the circumstances. Unfortunately this trust is necessary for the legal system to operate, and it seems as though some lawyers have decided to take advantage of that.

I can only hope that the lawyers involved are disbarred for life, and (in the case of American lawyers operating in Canada), charged with a crime and prevented from entering the country again (without facing prosecution).
