Potential obstruction of justice charges against former police chief Earl Landry Sr. were in a "completely different ballpark" than the 1995 sexual abuse investigation into a Roman Catholic priest, the Cornwall Public Inquiry heard Thursday.

Retired police chief Anthony Repa used that metaphor to explain why the Cornwall Police Service investigated Landry Sr. in 2000 and 2001, while asking the Ontario Provincial Police to handle the allegations against Rev. Charles MacDonald -- despite the fact the service was being sued in both cases.

"Had any of (my officers) come to me and said, 'I am uncomfortable with investigating (Landry Sr.),' it would have gone to another police service," Repa testified.
