R-C-M-P have confirmed that while cadaver dogs were being brought in to search for two children reported missing four months ago, the Mounties say the dogs were not put to work on weekend.

Six-year-old Lilly Sullivan and four-year-old Jack Sullivan went missing from their home in Lansdowne Station in May.

Cadaver dogs are trained to pick up scents from human remains, even if the remains have been moved.

R-C-M-P say that to ensure the safety of the animals and officers, they would not specify where or when the searches would take place.

Ottawa and Nova Scotia have announced a prequalification process for potential bidders interested in developing offshore wind projects.  ACOA Minister and Central Nova MP Sean Fraser says the idea is to gauge the strength of interest from companies before a call for bids goes out, likely sometime early in the new year.  Fraser says the Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Energy Regulator will also seek information to inform the bid process from the Mi’kmaq, offshore wind industry and fishing and seafood industries.  He says once issued, the call for information will be open for a minimum of 30 days while the prequalification process will last a minimum of 90 days.
