Commission of Inquiry discussions
Ross Francis made this Official Information request to Department of Internal Affairs
The request was partially successful.
From: Ross Francis
Dear Department of Internal Affairs,
What is the threshold for establishing a Commission of Inquiry?
In 2009, DIA discussed with the Justice Ministry the possibility of establishing a Commission of Inquiry into the Peter Ellis case. Please send me all records held by DIA about these discussions. That includes internal communication within DIA, and includes but is not limited to emails, deleted emails, file notes, memos, faxes, etc. and covers the period 1 January 2009 to 30 June 2009.
According to DIA, what benefits (if any) may result from establishing a Commission of Inquiry into the Peter Ellis case?
What concerns have been raised with DIA about the Peter Ellis case?
Yours faithfully,
Ross Francis
