Robert Pigeon, the director of investigations, reflected on their exhaustive efforts by stating, “We went as far as we could, leaving no stone unturned, as promised by our commissioner Denis Gallant.” In a discussion with The Canadian Press, Pigeon and three other members of the commission’s steering committee shared insights on their work prior to the impending conclusion of the public hearings.
