Quebec public security minister continues to take heat for native comments

Thu May 27, 2:30 PM ET

QUEBEC (CP) - The Opposition continued to pile the pressure on Quebec's
public security minister on Thursday after he said natives in a Mohawk
community near Montreal are more violent than other Canadians.

Premier Jean Charest, meanwhile, did not respond in the legislature when
the Parti Quebecois asked him whether Jacques Chagnon is still the man for
the job.

Chagnon, who is in charge of policing in Quebec, criticized Mohawks on the
Kanesatake settlement earlier this week. He apologized Wednesday.

Charest defended Chagnon on Wednesday but that was before the Quebec
vice-president of the Assembly of First Nations called for the public
security minister to resign.

Later on Thursday, Charest told reporters he did not respond to the PQ
question in the legislature because, as he said Wednesday, he believes the
"case is closed."

The Action democratique du Quebec has also called for Chagnon's dismissal.
