GOVERNMENT’S REFUSAL TO ESTABLISH INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATIONS UNIT
I ask a supplementary question. Why has the government refused to establish an independent investigations unit, despite the fact that that has been recommended in other reports, including the Gwenn Murray and Cant and Downie reports? Mr D.A. TEMPLEMAN

AnswerView source ↗

One of the things the government has now put in place is an executive director with responsibility for special projects. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Order! I call the Deputy Leader of the Opposition to order for the second time Mr D.A. TEMPLEMAN : The role of that person - Dr David Vickery - is to oversee residential care facilities such as those that have been highlighted in the Ombudsman’s report.
