Summary
These are the final submissions of the Ministry of Community Safety and
Correctional Services (“MCSCS”) for Phase 1 of the Cornwall Public Inquiry.
The Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services is privileged to have
played an integral role in this Inquiry. The issues and evidence were complex and
proved to elucidate many deficits in the responses of public institutions engaged
with what were very challenging allegations. We sincerely hope that all parties who
played a role in this Inquiry, including the victims, the people of this Province, and
most importantly the community of Cornwall appreciate the hard work and novel
thinking that has gone into the tackling of issues arising from events that span
some five decades and involved many people and institutions.
