A senior provincial government official in the Aquaculture Department, Peter Andrews has been found not guilty on a charge of obstructing an investigation involving the brother of Deputy Premier Paul Robichaud on the Acadian Peninsula.
This turned into a political controversy after an anonymous letter was sent to the Opposition Liberals, prompting an RCMP investigation.
Donat Robichaud did guilty to violating the Aquaculture Act and was fined 576 dollars.
