CTV investigates the Canadian SPCA (Montreal). Police investigation launched

All this week we've been airing a special investigative series on the Montreal SPCA.
In our final report, we answer questions about accountability and transparency by the board of directors and what the future holds.

Critics of the Montreal SPCA say the government needs look a little closer at the organization's activities.
The SPCA's board of directors is in charge but the board has been under fire for years by critics who say it is not doing its job.
Veterinarian Lech Leskiewicz, who was fired on Thursday after telling CTV News about the SPCA's euthanasia policies, has many concerns with the board.
"These are businesspeople, lawyers, bankers, notaries, whatsoever," he said just after his firing.
"What do they know about animals?"
Leskiewicz says no board member has visited the animal shelter in Laval.
Several other insiders, including a former board member, told CTV that director Pierre Barnoti's allies make up a majority on the board and tend not to be critical of the organization.
Response
Barnoti has refused to be interviewed for the latest SCPA series.
The group has also filed two complaints against CTV with the Quebec Press Council. It lost its first case, the second is still pending.
