CHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. — Justice and Public Safety Minister Bloyce Thompson drops off a weighty report on Friday, completed by the Island Regulatory and Appeals Commission into the Brendel sale, a 2019 land transaction involving 2,200 acres of land. The documents have been subpoenaed from the minister by the standing committee on health and social development.
The motion also calls for the documents to be produced at an in-camera meeting, in physical form only. This means the standing committee will not release the report publicly. The motion stated that this would balance the need to respect privacy concerns of the parties involved with the duty of the committee to hold government to account.
While committee members cannot release details contained in the Brendel report, they can make recommendations based on these details.
