Statement by Justice Minister Michael Baker

The following statement was issued today, Nov. 4, by Justice Minister Michael Baker:

"Earlier today I received a written request to establish a judicial inquiry under the Fatality Investigations Act into the death of Theresa McEvoy of Halifax. I will carefully review and consider the request. Since charges have been laid in connection with the fatal collision on October 14, 2004, I will not be making any further public comments until I have reached a decision in this matter. I extend my sympathies to the McEvoy family."
