The final report into the death of Frank Joseph Paul has now been delivered to Attorney General Barry Penner by inquiry commissioner William H. Davies, QC.

The report will be released to the public following the process required under the Public Inquiry Act, which requires that the attorney general submit the report to cabinet at the next meeting after its receipt.

Cabinet may provide direction to the attorney general regarding any portions of the report that must be withheld by law under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. The final report will then be prepared and tabled with the legislative assembly.
