Warren Zimmer says misinformation and ignorance were behind the Attorney-General’s decision to dismiss him as the commissioner leading a high-profile inquiry
The Nova Scotia government is facing accusations from a former judge who says misinformation and ignorance were behind the attorney-general’s decision last week to dismiss him as the commissioner leading a high-profile inquiry.
A spokesman for the provincial Justice Department said Monday the government was preparing a response. Later in the day, the chief judge of the provincial court, Pamela Williams, announced she had appointed provincial court Judge Paul Scovil to take on Zimmer’s previous responsibilities. “I think the public needs to be very concerned about what the … Houston government is up to when it comes to our justice system,” he said. “The allegations from the former judge are serious.”
That inquiry, led by three commissioners, released its final report on March 30, just under three years after the worst mass shooting in modern Canadian history. It’s been five years since Zimmer was appointed as the Desmond inquiry’s commissioner.
