A court case involving charges against Qulliq Energy Corp. under Nunavut’s Safety Act has been adjourned for a month.
Lawyer John D. Cliffe, acting as an agent for the Nunavut government, participated virtually in court and requested an adjournment to get “a little more time” to work on the case.
The charges relate to an incident at the Naujaat power plant last July that resulted in the death of QEC employee Noah Paniyuk.
After an investigation led by the Workers’ Safety and Compensation Commission, Nunavut’s energy corporation faces nine charges under the safety act.
Charges include failing to take all reasonable precautions to ensure the safety of every person at the worksite, failing to sufficiently and competently supervise work, and failing to implement safe work procedures.
Qulliq Energy Corp. is scheduled to return to court Oct. 20.
