Witnesses testify in day 2 of MLA Steve Norn's public inquiry
CBC
A public inquiry into MLA Steve Norn's alleged breach of code of conduct continued Tuesday.
The hearing is to assess whether or not Norn breached the Legislative Assembly's code of conduct when he broke his mandatory self-isolation period after travel and made inaccurate statements in the news about it.
On Monday, Norn's lawyer Steven Cooper requested an adjournment on the case. He said he needed more time to review the piles of evidence, some of which had only been provided to him days or hours before the hearing began.
Cooper called the rush for the inquiry to be heard this week "politically motivated" ahead of the Legislative Assembly reconvening on Oct. 14.
Sole adjudicator Ronald L. Barclay denied the application for adjournment Tuesday morning. He said that "the disclosure provided to Mr. Cooper was both fulsome and timely."
"Mr. Cooper's suggestion the date for this hearing was selected and maintained to facilitate the legislature and was politically motivated is frankly insulting, is without foundation and is entirely false," Barclay said.
A decision that Norn said was "like a legal farce."
