Inquiry Timeline Set - No Comment From Bishop (November 29, 2004)
The mood, for the most part, appeared to be fairly upbeat after the inital meeting with Attorney General, Michael Bryant, at the Cornwall Civic Complex this morning. A number of high profile officials and victim group representatives were on hand. Coming out of the meeting, Bryant indicated he wanted to "get this thing underway as soon as possible". He then qualified that and added he hopes to name a commisioner to head the inquiry sometime in the early new year. The scope of the inquiry is expected to be wide-ranging. The only person to not comment to any media was Cornwall Bishop, Paul Andre Derocher. He is on record as opposing any inquiry which would investigate the actions of the church.
