Nova Scotia Crown lawyer in Alton Gas appeal removed from the case: minister
HALIFAX — The Nova Scotia Crown lawyer behind a controversial legal brief implying members of a First Nation band are a conquered people has been taken off the case.
The province’s acting attorney general, Michel Samson, said Thursday that Alex Cameron has been removed from the Alton Gas appeal case, and replaced by Ed Gores.
“He (Gores) has been assigned to this specific file, the appeal that was launched on the minister of the environment’s decision,” said Samson.
He wouldn’t say whether any other disciplinary action had been taken against Cameron, or whether he would be allowed to work on other files involving aboriginal issues.
