Judge Encouraged To Look At Inquiry Process

September 06, 2007 — The Cornwall Public Inquiry's top lawyer is encouraging a judge to look at the inquiry process. His invitation comes a day after Justice James Fontana asked for a copy of the inquiry's terms of reference. That judge wants to see if it has "gone off the rails". He presided over an obstruction of justice trial related to the inquiry this week and expressed concerns about what he heard during testimony. The inquiry's Lead Commission Counsel Peter Engelmann tells AM 1220 News the process is open and transparent. Engelmann believes Fontana has no authority over the inquiry process.
