There are two versions of the same issue. Both cannot be true.
The TPS is working very hard investigating this case, with full efforts in terms of manpower and resources, and it needs to keep information away from the public for investigative reasons
OR
The TPS has allocated token effort and resources, to the case. They are basically waiting for someone to come forward with information that will solve the case. Keeping information from the public, prevents the media and public from asking uncomfortable questions of the TPS about their efforts and errors.
Eight years have gone by and there are persons of interest who have not been cleared yet. It has been years since the TPS has had a press conference or up-date about the case. The TPS has spent thousands of dollars on legal fees fighting the Toronto Star/Kevin Donovan regarding information disclosure.
I do not see any signs of investigative action that would support either Judge Porter, or the TPS's claims regarding their investigation.
Finally, if Dr. Satok, was given a name by Barry, of somebody who was a concern to Barry, and if this name is known to the TPS, and the TPS has not cleared that POI, could that not be considered professional negligence by the TPS?
If this person, cannot be cleared based on evidence, then it follows that person is a prime suspect.
For those concerned about legal issues.
Patient-doctor confidentiality survives the patient’s death in Ontario. Under the Personal Health Information Protection Act, 2004 (PHIPA), a patient's right to privacy does not end at death, and health information custodians (like doctors) must continue to protect this information.
Estate Representative Access: The deceased's legally authorized personal representative (e.g., executor, administrator) can exercise the rights of the deceased under PHIPA, including consenting to the disclosure of records.
Barry's executor's can consent (and probably have) to the disclosure of Barry's health records, and allow Dr. Satok to discuss with the TPS.
