Cornwall inquiry could extend hours in effort to meet government deadline

CORNWALL - There could be some extended hours for the Cornwall Public Inquiry next week.

Commissioner Normand Glaude says night sessions may be added in an effort to meet their testimony deadline.

All testimony must be heard by the end of the month after the province ordered the deadline late last year.

The commission had planned to report sometime this fall.

But a cabinet order issued in October demands the hearings wrap up by Jan. 31, with the final report delivered July 31.

The judicial inquiry, set up in April 2005, was sparked by allegations of a pedophile ring in eastern Ontario.
