Charges against ministry and others paused to allow for further investigation, and is ‘not a decision to permanently stay the proceedings that are before the court'
Charges laid in relation to the 2006 mining death of Raymond Campeau have been stayed to allow for further investigation.
In March, Smith, along with her attorney, Toronto lawyer Michael Lacy, began a private prosecution, which was then taken on by the Sudbury Crown’s office and now the provincial office, where lawyer Lorne Goldstein took over as it is a conflict for the local office. A 2008 coroner’s inquest into Campeau’s death determined that it was caused by equipment failure. A winch failed because required engineered tie-offs had not been installed to secure it.
“Mr. Goldstein must gather the relevant information and materials from various sources, including from the private informant, and we are grateful for the assistance we have received in that regard to date,” Corelli said. Though Ofiara said the Crown has “unfettered discretion” to stay the charges, he, Sandberg and Keaney all registered their displeasure with the stay. “We want the record to reflect that all of us are concerned for the right to make full answers in defense and 11b rights of our respective clients.”
