The court case against a senior provincial civil servant who’s charged with obstructing justice has been adjourned until April 26th.
A lawyer for 56-year-old Peter Andrews appeared on his client’s behalf in a Fredericton court. Andrews is the executive director of corporate services with the province’s Department of Aquaculture, Agriculture and Fisheries.
He was charged after the R-C-M-P received a letter passed to them by then interim Liberal leader Victor Boudreau alleging someone in the provincial government was interfering with an aquaculture investigation involving the brother of Deputy Premier Paul Robichaud and carried out a lengthy investigation.
