Domestic Stories RECONVENING OF BOARD OF INQUIRY - HMCS CHICOUTIMI INCIDENT OCTOBER 20041 February 2005

1. I have reviewed the contents of the report delivered by the Chicoutimi Board of Inquiry (reference A). I recognize the Board addressed each of the areas that I requested to be examined in the original terms of reference (reference B) and I commend the board members for the work they did in preparing an extensive report on what was a complex and difficult matter. However, I have determined that the need exists to obtain additional information relating to decisions made and actions taken in respect of making repairs to the upper lid vent. While the board examined this issue, I require greater clarity and context before I can conclude my review of the BOI.
2. The Board will, therefore, reconvene and prepare a supplementary report that will provide a comprehensive and in-depth account of the decisions and actions taken in respect of the repair of the upper lid vent, and the context in which these decisions and actions were taken. The Board must examine and report on all relevant facts that they consider essential to providing context and support for the findings and conclusions that they may make.
3. While some flexibility is required, I ask that you complete your work with due diligence. I cannot perform my review duties until I have received the supplementary report. I request that you deliver to me your supplementary report no later than 8 March 2005. You are to advise me as soon as possible if you cannot meet this date.
