Police have reopened an investigation into allegations of theft, fraud, and misappropriate use of resources against two high-ranking employees of Nunavut's Qulliq Energy Corporation.

In July, the RCMP had said they found nothing criminal in the actions of either of the employees and that no charges would be laid.

“The lead investigators with the federal enforcement section here in Iqaluit have received new information from some sources that they have out in the community, and they are continuing the investigation now. It has reopened,” said Const. Stephan Kilabuk, a spokesperson for RCMP V Division, Thursday.

Police would not say what the new information was, but did say it was received in the past week.

The case stems from allegations that decommissioned power poles were delivered to a house on land leased by Qulliq Energy Corporation president Peter Mackey and lineman supervisor Grant Penney.

Fred Schell, MLA for South Baffin, submitted photos to the legislative assembly of Nunavut in June that appear to show QEC employees delivering and installing the power poles as a retaining wall at the house. He wanted to know who had paid for the work.

The minister responsible for Qulliq, Lorne Kusugak, said at the time the work was not budgeted to the power corporation and the poles had been decommissioned.

The Qulliq Energy Corporation says no one from the company will comment while the investigation is underway.

RCMP say they hope to conclude their investigation in the next couple of weeks.
