A secret informant on racist activities in Saskatchewan is being investigated by the inquiry into the shooting death of Leo LaChance, the inquiry panel announced in a surprise move.
Prince Albert city police made the admission during a closed-door meeting with the three-member commission investigating the slaying of the 48-year-old Cree trapper.
At a brief resumption of the public hearings Aug. 24, the panel also announced it would suspend its work while it asked the Supreme Court of Canada to decide whether the informant should be named.
