Elliot Lake mall owners denied confidentiality request; move was opposed by major media

The owners of a mall that collapsed in northern Ontario last summer have lost a bid to keep financial documents submitted to a public inquiry secret.
In a ruling Tuesday, Commissioner Paul Belanger also rejected a confidentiality request from a professional engineering association related to complaints and disciplinary measures taken against engineers involved with the Algo Centre Mall.
CTV, CBC, The Globe and Mail and Shaw media opposed the confidentiality requests at a hearing in Ottawa on December 17.
