Secrecy Threatens Credibility Of Iacobucci Inquiry

He recommended that the government investigate these cases further, not through a full-scale public inquiry but by means of an "independent and credible process" that could take less time. Which is what the Iacobucci exercise was supposed to be. Under the terms of reference ordered by Harper, the former judge was to take "all steps necessary to ensure that the inquiry is conducted in private" except where he thought public hearings "essential." But since then, the inquiry's doors have been shut so tight that the credibility of the inquiry – its entire raison d'être – is in doubt. http://www.thestar.com/News/article/268054
