	Ex-Cornwall Chief's Notes Record Talk with Bishop Ottawa Citizen June 11, 2008 http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/story.html?id=4fcf72d1-8852-40f4-9ee3-6334f8b7fd1a CORNWALL - After an alleged sexual abuse victim made a $32,000 settlement with religious officials and agreed to withdraw his criminal charges, Cornwall's police chief took the matter to a bishop and eventually jotted on a note that he was told the accused priest "admits" and would be sent away for treatment. What was meant by former chief Claude Shaver's note became a sticking point in a public inquiry looking into the institutional response to allegations of historic sexual abuse, with lead commission counsel Peter Engelmann grilling Mr. Shaver on the issue. The former police chief was adamant Wednesday that his note described him being told by the bishop that the priest had admitted to having a same-sex encounter — not that he had assaulted the alleged victim. The inquiry continues.
