Toronto: Ontario's government have named Justice Paul Belanger to lead the public inquiry into a deadly mall collapse in the northern community of Elliot Lake.

Justice Bélanger has had a long and distinguished judicial career which makes him well suited to lead this inquiry.

In leading the inquiry Justice Bélanger will be asked to look into and report on events surrounding the collapse of the Algo Centre Mall and review the emergency management and response. He will report back publicly within a year of beginning the inquiry.

The next step in the process is to establish the public inquiry through an Order in Council. The Order sets out the scope of the inquiry. The government is actively engaged in finalizing the terms of reference and, once approved, will make them available to the public.
