  McGuinty Government to Review Recommendations and Help Community Heal

Government of Ontario
December 15, 2009

The Attorney General has received the final report from a public inquiry looking into historical events related to sexual abuse allegations in Cornwall.

Since 2005, a number of initiatives have been implemented and changes have been made that address many of the institutional issues raised through the inquiry. These include:

* creating a Major Case Management team to oversee the prosecution of complex cases;

* implementing new protocols between Crown attorneys, Police, and victim service providers;

* improving training for corrections and probation and parole staff, Police and Crown attorneys;

* delivering improved services and support for victims; and

* A recently updated Statement of Ethical Principles, giving probation and parole officers clear direction regarding conflict of interest and impropriety with respect to their dealings with current and former offenders.

The government will review the report and recommendations that have been made by Commissioner Normand Glaude and will determine what further actions can be taken to help the community move forward.
