Liberals Putting Premier On Spot In Aquaculture Investigation

The charge laid this week against a senior provincial government official for obstruction of justice in an aquaculture investigation involving Deputy Premier Paul Robichaud's brother is raising more questions in the mind of Liberal M-L-A Victor Boudreau. 

It was he who got the ball rolling when he received an anonymous letter containing an allegation which he then passed on to the RCMP. Boudreau tells CHSJ News he believes there's more to the story, adding the RCMP have not confirmed whether the investigation is over or whether more charges will be laid.
 

Boudreau is wondering what Premier David Alward is going to do with his Deputy Premier while all this is going on and whether the integrity of the provincial government is being harmed.
