Ambiguous language and the alleged killing of an inmate have led to a dispute between the Newfoundland and Labrador government and the province s largest public sector union.
The province is refusing to pay the legal fees for 10 correctional officers accused of playing a role in the homicide of Indigenous inmate Jonathan Henoche, according to a source close to the situation.
It s believed the total amount could range as high as $1 million to represent the officers in criminal proceedings, let alone any civil actions that are likely to follow.

(Lawyer Bob Buckingham.)
The lawyer representing an Inuit man killed at Her Majesty’s Penitentiary last year says charges against several guards in the case have been a long time coming.
33-year-old Jonathan Henoche died last November while awaiting trial for the murder of 88-year-old Regula Schule, a respected community leader in Happy Valley-Goose Bay.
Henoche was approached by correctional officers during an incident at HMP on November 6 of last year. He was eventually taken to the SHU or “special handling unit” but died a short time later. His death was ruled a homicide.
Bob Buckingham represents the family of Jonathan Henoche.
