complied with provincial French confirmed that the inspection was limited to checking Sani tary conditions in the the food was not tested for foreign the chief health officer said such inspections normally dont involve checking the and in this Case it would have been pointless since none of the food the prisoners ate on 16 was available to be not satisfied but Allen said he and Johnson Are far from satisfied with the Way the com plaint was Allen questioned the provinces use of one of its own health inspectors to Check the saying City or Feder Al health officials should have been called in to ensure an impartial re if the province wanted to act in Good Faith they should have invited the City to do Allen the City was willing and Able to do and All it would have taken for them to do it

Luckhurst said although the City has jurisdiction to inspect the lockup since it is located in the inner City the City and the province have a sort of gentlemen agreement at the political level that duplication need not occur because they have their own people to do he said it is difficult to say whether it might have looked better from the Public Point of View if the City had conducted the but

discuss the matter further with John its unlikely simply let the matter just where we can go from Here in not Allen he said they might have to resort to smuggling some food out of the lockup and having it tested by an Independent Laboratory to ensure there is nothing the other option is to just let it simmer for a while and see if any thing further he he noted that Johnson is the Only inmate
