VANCOUVER - The widow of an RCMP officer who killed himself two years ago claims her husband was used by the Mounties as a scapegoat in the death of Robert Dziekanski at Vancouver's airport in October 2007. In a statement of claim filed in B. C. Supreme Court, Sheila Lemaitre said her husband, Pierre, was told he would lose his job if he tried to correct misinformation given to the media about the night Dziekanski died. The sergeant was the media relations officer who released information about the incident where the Polish immigrant was jolted with a police Taser and died on the floor of the arrivals area. The lawsuit claims Lemaitre wanted to correct the information, but was ordered not to say anything. " As a result of this incorrect information, his immediate removal as RCMP spokesman, the subsequent public release of the private video... he was brought into public contempt where he was accused in the public of being the ' RCMP liar' and/ or the RCMP spin doctor," the statement said. The bystander video released after the Dziekanski confrontation with police was much different than the original version of events given to media by RCMP. In fact, the four officers involved were later charged with perjury for testimony they gave at the public inquiry looking into the death. The officers were all tried separately, and two were convicted, while two were acquitted. Corp. Kwesi Millington was given 30 months in prison by a judge in June. Benjamin ( Monty) Robinson was sentenced last week to two years in jail for lying to the inquiry. The judge in Robinson's case said the former officer's actions damaged the reputation of the RCMP and undermined confidence in the once- trusted institution. The statement of claim said the RCMP knew Lemaitre was under extreme psychological distress caused by the negligence of the force and it could result in his becoming suicidal. " Conduct of the RCMP and/ or members of the RCMP with respect to the events following the ( airport) incident was either intended to or allowed Sgt. Lemaitre to become the ' scapegoat' for the public criticism of the RCMP with respect to the incident on Oct. 14, 2007," the lawsuit stated. None of the allegations has been proven in court and an RCMP spokesman said it wouldn't be appropriate to make any official comment on a matter that is subject to a civil proceeding. The court document outlined Lemaitre was transferred to a job described as an RCMP " dumping ground," that he was treated for post- traumatic stress disorder and became depressed, angry, full of rage. He went on sick leave in February 2013 and " committed suicide" on July 13, 2013, the document stated. The statement of claim alleges an RCMP chaplain took control of the funeral arrangements, determining which songs could be played, and said that it was an " absolute requirement" he " vet" all of the eulogies. - The Canadian Press Widow's lawsuit claims Mountie used as a ' scapegoat' in airport death I QALUIT, Nunavut - For decades, high tide has been rush hour in Iqaluit as fishermen and hunters scramble to run their boats up on shore and anchor them before the sea ebbs. " All the boaters and hunters start to come in all at once," deputy Iqaluit mayor Simon Nattaq said through a translator. " Sometimes it can get pretty dangerous." Those days may become a thing of the past. The federal government on Thursday committed up to $ 64 million to finance a deepwater port, which has been at the top of Nunavut's wish list for years. " I'm glad it's in my lifetime," laughed Transportation Minister Monica Ell. " It will realize more economic activity and reduce potential economic disruption. We have tourism opportunities - I'm thinking of cruise ships being able to come here more often. For ships, they have a safer and quicker opportunity to unload goods brought here." Ell said construction projects have been delayed by up to a year when ships have been unable to off- load heavy equipment due to ice or bad weather. A port means those delays would end. All but one of Nunavut's 25 communities are on the coast. Only one has any kind of docking facility. Nunavummiut throughout the territory have long complained coastlines from Newfoundland to Vancouver Island have hundreds of governmentowned harbours, while they have nothing. Even in Iqaluit, supplies shipped from the south must be loaded onto barges and hauled up onto the only Coast Guard- administered beach in Canada. Cruise- ship tourists must cross sometimes choppy waters on inflatable boats if they want to visit the communities they pass. At least one Inuit fisherman has died while trying to get to his boat moored offshore, which he was trying to move in advance of a storm. As early as 2006, federal ministers had a proposal - complete with designs and economic impact - for seven ports around the territory. The total cost would have been $ 41 million over five years. The single port in Thursday's announcement is expected to cost $ 85 million, which includes about $ 20 million from Nunavut. Federal environment minister and soon- to- be federal Conservative candidate Leona Aglukkaq called the project a " game- changer" that will bring big benefits. " As it is now, many of the fishing industry goes to Greenland to off- load," said Aglukkaq, who was in Iqaluit for the announcement. " This has been a project that has been talked about for many, many years. I was very honoured to deliver this project for the people of Iqaluit." The port would include a smallcraft harbour and larger facility for other vessels. It is expected it would reduce the off- loading time for dry cargo to 20 working days from 60 and cut fuel off- loading to five working days from 15. - The Canadian Press Iqaluit to finally get new port Feds commit $ 64M for deepwater facility Leone Aglukkaq: ' game- changer' A_ 14_ Jul- 31- 15_ FP_ 01. indd A14 7/ 30/ 15 9: 52: 06 PM ;
