Brunet: "I have always served

veteran police officer vigourously defended his role in a number of sex abuse investigations that took place in the 1990s at the Cornwall Public Inquiry this morning.

“I wish to clearly state that the suggestion I breached my oath of office by covering up (sexual abuse allegations) is totally false,” said Staff Sgt. Luc Brunet.

Brunet, 51, was the head of the Cornwall Police Service's criminal investigations branch from 1993 to 1999. During that time, he oversaw investigations into allegations made against a number of high-profile people, including Rev. Charles MacDonald and Earl Landry Jr., the son of a former police chief.

Brunet had testified over the previous three days about understaffing that plagued the CIB during the 1990s and hampered those investigations.

Reading from a prepared statement, Brunet told commission lawyer Pierre Dumais that he had waited 15 years to speak about those problems and to put to rest rumours there was any coverup on the part of police.

“I have always cared deeply about our community and I have always served with honour and integrity, both on and off-duty,” said Brunet.

Brunet is expected to be cross-examined this afternoon.
