The reinvestigations came as a recommendation of the Broken Trust report, by an independent police watchdog in 2018, which found evidence of systemic racism in the Thunder Bay Police Service. For those four families, this latest probe was the third time the deaths of their loved ones were investigated. The executive committee is mandated with the "review, approval and public release … as appropriate" of the final report. Lawyer Julian Falconer says it's 'not acceptable' for the Thunder Bay police chief to be on the team's executive committee. That case, CBC News learned on Tuesday, has been handed to the OPP and will not be included in the Broken Trust final report.
